cool vid

[DrRhythmStyx]

GUNNS4HIRE, THE GUNNSHOP BROUGHT ME HERE, GUNNS4HIRE JUST SAYIN. Ok ok, we get it, you arrived at this video because of Gunns, those sort of comments are so old they died a death a long time ago, jeez.

[LetMeGoPlzz]

Hey great video

[EnergeticPath]

Stupid gunnshop

[TheBruT4L1ty]

The Gunnshop brought me here.

[JOSE62394]

@TheBruT4L1ty me to..im bored

[supercool784]

@TheBruT4L1ty ya ik me too ha

[MrLemon9876]

gunns4hire ftw

[chrisconwaypeters]

very observant about the noise pollution, thats actually signals intelligence

[kondor6c]

I know this has been a while since you made this, I was wondering if you've had any luck with boiling wort. This is the exact reason I'm beginning to look into solar power :)

[km0veritasaequitas]

Sunny but not Silent Tampa Bay. Thanks for working through the noise and interruptions, and for sharing the 'bloopers'. 

[Fentanyl3]

I feel you Dan, I made an assembly video the other day for YT, I never noticed the amount of traffic we have until editing, I averaged 2 cars per minute and it killed my audio.

[phill903]

Pretty noisy !! sea water lol...

[AlphaWillCal]

a

Nice work. Your videos are a great contribution to green lifestyle. Are you using a wireless mike in these location shots?

[FuzzyOttawaCub]

Very neat work, and bonus with the shirtless segment.. can we have more of those? ya handsome fella ya.. ;-)

[HeavyDemir]

lol 6:29 Got to love it. Thx for uploading, that made me giggle

It's better than distilling in every way.

[hughheckler]

I think the government is onto you Dan, time to relocate! :)

[Scrap5000]

@hughheckler THIS!

[depatatsch]

i think you need te find a way to compress the water so it boils quicker and then decompres it in another can so it condenses. i also think the steam cooled off to much in the first 1.5 feet of cupper tubing going upward so it flowed backwards into the boiling room.

good luck!

[skush123456]

ADD is a bitch isnt it..to much airplane not enough steam.

[mrcarpetride]

YOU ARE AMAZING

[mrcarpetride]

BP COULD CONTAMINATE YOUR WATER UTILITY COMPANY SUPPLY

[mrcarpetride]

hope that bp oil is not coming up your water supply lol robby

[social3ngin33rin]

mmmmm old high fructose corn syrup!!!

Keep up the hard work!!

Producing a very nice product for youtube!!

[easymac79]

I would love to live there. Ive always loved to watch airplanes go by close to the ground. Plus plenty of land and a county that doesnt complain if you have a brick on your driveway... jackson county, mo is way too picky.

your wife is too good to you dont lose her

[sleicer]

ich muss schon sagen sehr gute videos hätte nie gedacht das es americaner gibt die sich so für die umwelt interessieren!!!!

it is great to look youre video. i like the green energie

[aeroscope]

why is it 25 times harder compared to 1 gallon of water? when the specific capacity is constant (4200j/kg)

[aeroscope]

the "big" plane that was in the bloopers is actually a C-5 Galaxy

[easymac79]

@aeroscope because you cant apply the required amount of energy instantly, it cools off over time resulting in it taking way more energy. The more efficient the insulation, the less heat.

[stonerj0e]

cool

[hks72]

Greetings Dan ,

been watching your videos for a while ,,5*

great work and the effort you have put into them even with all the interference around

just a thought over my head,

the low heat transfer maybe caused by stainless steel on the can

try with either carbon steel , aluminum or copper that should let the water to absorb the sun energy way better.

keep up the fantastic work Dan!

[cavemanboborj]

how do you sleep at night with all that air traffic.

[RMCrowley]

It tastes like !@#$% *cut* *edit*

[Rory1947]

This is all very interesting, but in the Western World there are enough fuel outlets, ie, wood, etc, to distill seawater on a massive scale, then technology will acelerate to the state where we will all have a disalanation plant not only to clean sea water but all gray water, they do this now on luxery liners, the secret is to heat the water and distill it, job done!!!

[HIGHLYKIND69]

OMG i just wasted 40 minits of my life on this i dont even kno why i watched it or even found it!!!!!!

[CrackBadger52]

Cool. I had an idea there if we were to setup a gigantic range of solar stills along the coast of the Sahara desert we could hire Africans for minimum wage (which would be like doctors pay for them) to maintain the equipment and a bonus for them would be a constant supply of clean drinking water which many of these places are deprived of.

Once thats done we could dig a network of canals and setup pumps which would also be powered by solar transducers. Then sprinkers and before u know it....

[tikenjahfakoly09]

That will be a wonderful idea... I will be one of the first Africans to participate... Im from Mauritania, West Africa... We got the sun and an Ocean around, but no creativity and financial support... These are the main problems in Africa and in other developing countries... Great video and wonderful comment.

[jay1024th]

good job but its long processed why you dont use sunligth to turn electricity and electricity boiled the water in a little time.thank to the video.

[2StarNautical]

MacDill?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

The ones over our house MacDill, the first video was Tampa International.

[2StarNautical]

Nice video.

Appeciate it.

[lubermanl]

Reminds me of a project to bring solar ovens to poor regions such as parts of africa. I imagine something like that isn't highly practical in an industrialized nation. But if it can be made cheaply, could be incredibly useful in many parts of the world.

[aprilapril1234]

When you mentioned an industrial nation, were you contemplating America in your thoughts? Well, we are slowly becoming a 3rd world nation. What industry do we have? It was all sent over seas. What do we have to bring to the table of the world, solar?

[walkerindarkness]

lower the pressure in the tank with an air pump and the boiling temp for water drops.

[chovinistic]

¿Wich is more efective magnifying glass or parabolic solar collector?

[seantruce]

Keep spreading the solar word!

[funorex]

Great. Thanks for sharing! I dont know about the appliance, but the _demonstration_ of the physics are really intresting.

[cdltpx]

If the airplane noise is very loud in your home I would recomend gettins a dome home the sound reflects off the surface. Google MDI dome and see what it says about quality of sound in dome. You would love living in apple valley CA it is called the high desert lots of wind and sun as for the noise engineer it out when you get the equipment.

[Sepero1]

Get a microphone. Then the outside noises won't be hardly picked up.

[GoneGeechee]

Your shots of the C-17's aka Charleston Air Force Express was cool. If you look close enough to the tailwing of the first one, you can see the SC flag.....nice video...thanks for sharing the info to...

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you for the great comment and observation.

[69furball69]

I just thought of something else; you could build a 4, 6 or 8 sided glass 'tube' that would sit completely over the keg with an insulated lid with a hole for the tubing to fit through. The greenhouse effect from the glass cover should increase the efficiency of the still considerably. Use a wooden frame and glue the glass together with clear silicone like a fish tank.

[69furball69]

I bet the still would work more efficiently if you used a < 1 gallon boiling pot and incorporated a float and larger holding vessel. The vessel warms in the sun while the pot boils and distills the smaller amount and is continuously replenished by the tank and float.

Also, to avoid salty tasting distilled water, put a splash plate in front of the condenser inlet. That will keep the boiling action from splasing salt water into the condenser... No more salty distilled water.

[markallen200]

@69furball69 I was thinking the same thing. Using several vacuum tubes and a float to auto fill the water. Use one lens on each tube with one copper condensing line per tube. From watching your other videos it only takes a minute to get a small amount of water boiling. More tubes producing steam is the Key. I bet 5 gallons an hour wouldn't be hard to do. Great videos Dan!!

[lnwolf41]

You did a good job on documenting everything.

I enjoy your videos. you would probly get a better and faster result if you insulated 3/4's of the canister and focused the light on the smaller area. Maybe suspend it over a mirror at the focal point then get from the sides also.

[mindyhuskey]

Friggin MacDill Air Force Base! LoL, the teeth on the under belly gave it away! Where can I buy one of these and for how much? I've been pondering this for the last couple of years. I guess I should just do it. It's a good idea, now more than ever! Thanks for the great video :)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Check my website link, I have a few there:-)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

YES TO MACDILL, they fly over every few weeks.

[seveprim]

LOL I get one of those globe masters planes buzzing my house here in Australia ... Gotta love the milatary putting planes in our back yards ... surely 10 miles isnt that hard for them to fly..

[flir67]

LOL, the bloopers were fantastic... I live in a flight path too...

[99cachorro]

also, looks like there is no shortage of fossil fuel in your area.. I guess other people arn't quite ready to use the sun.

[99cachorro]

I really need the lens or a parabolic to distill alcohol. I can't burn wood now to run my still because of fire season. I need to heat to low boil a 15 gal. stainless tank.

[BillyJackets]

Great videos , keep up the good work. I was given a 37 x28 Fresnel lens today in a tv , took about 3 minutes to get it out. 3 screws and lift front face off tv. The lens is attached to the actual tv screen , do you separate them ? seems like it might be glued. Thanks, Bill

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Some TV lenses work good others do not. The only way to tell is take a carpet knife and cut the black tape. This removes the lenticular lens (black). If the TV is very old, the lens will work great. If It is within the past 11 years, it depends on the model of TV.

[CharAznable]

Dan those bloopers were some great stuff! I live underneath the flightpath of my cities airport also, the cycles you might have me beat on, but the cops have a Open Gun Range down the Road and it seems like they need a lot of practice.. lol

I hope you two Keep the vids coming!

[cdltpx]

Build a filter for your videos so when you are speaking it will pick up only the frequencies between 300 hz and 3k hz

If you own your own home build yourself a dome home it will do well there hurricane proof and sound is deflected inside you will barely hear all the noise there bullet resistant too JIC that might be an issue do it wile you are young and you can DIY go visit a dome you will be shocked how quiet they are. Get some fiberoptic it can be used to heat with focused light.

[RHEAD100]

In a true sevival situation. You can add sea water to fresh water 50/50 and not only servive but replenish the salt lost from sweating in the hot sun. It will do more good than harm. Don't take my word for it. Read a few milatery servival hand books.

[TalksWithDirt]

Try a smaller boiler. Once you get the seawater to boil drip in cool seawater. You can find a drip rate that allows the water to boil at a fixed rate. You're losing tones of heat out of the nonilluminated sides of the keg. Another approach, insulate the keg and shine your light onto a copper or aluminum plate that sinks into the water all the way to but not touching the bottom of the keg. Nice work, love the C-5's. Some of those fly over my house about 3 hours before they fly over yours at KDMA.

[velvetree]

Always great videos, I love the ending with the outtakes!

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you:-) We decided to just go with it as fighting background noise is just impossible. We actually get humored now and make the best of it. Thank you for the great comment.

[vitellissimo]

mitici, ma un impianto fattibile?

[sonofhendrix]

lmao! great stuff.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you very much:-)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

A small one, that is what all the small planes are about. The big ones were from TIA at the beach and MacDill AFB 15 miles away.

[MinTrinidad]

hmm my comment was deleted. what gives?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

click view all at the bottom, it is there

[MinTrinidad]

Nah it was not there when i last posted. Either my mind is playing tricks on me or Youtube is. I plan on doing some green science myself, will try to post my videos up

[sciencefun127]

How much PSI do you think that can maintain.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

I would guess it can sustain about 5 PSI at that volume 3/8".

[solardeathraysun]

That one shot of the first Jet is great. Did the camera guy or girl use a tripod? Also great video, I would love to see 5 Fresnel lens in one spot.

[ohmslaw111]

Hey, I TRIED BOILING 5 GALLONS FOR SOME BEER ONE TIME. I USED AN ENTIRE AMOUNT OF WATER IN A BOTTLED WATER CONTAINER IN A GIANT PAN. IT FIT ACROSS BOTH BURNERS ON OUT STOVE ELECTRIC AND ALL WE GOT WAS THAT STEAM NOISE AND 200 DEGREES, NO BOIL. I THINK IT WAS 1800 WATTS X 2. ONE burner was about 30% exposed. We tried a blow torch too. dumped the mix, buying beer is cheaper. LOL good job.

[Odziz]

Love the bloopers :)

Its just too damn noisy where you live :(

[desiredusername]

How do you guys manage to do so many projects and spend so much time on takes and editing? No day jobs?

[RevolutionaryJam]

I really appreciate what you guys are trying to do here, but how is the lay man meant to draw some use from this?

I'm interested in finding out what I can actually do to unplug from the system and get of the grid

thanks

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Hi RJ,

I think the grid is here to stay if you want all the creature comforts we enjoy now, BUT, solar can drastically reduce you utility bill with a few small changes. The solar hot water heater we have has taken $35 a month off of our electric bill. We shower at 5pm and do the dishes at 2pm, but only manually turn the electric water heater on after running water into for dishes/laundry. We then are heating mixed water that is about 100 degrees vs. 70. CPF Bulbs etc.

[MinTrinidad]

Do u live near to a military base? Those huge planes looked military. Good job you guys have inspired me a lot.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

MacDill AFB occasionally routes their traffic directly over us. That is really neat because you can see some huge aircraft close up. It also keeps the pesky small plains out of our area for most of the day. The beach is near Tampa International. The motorcycles were on a bridge almost 2 miles away.

[jesslessthemess]

Fantastic work guys! With a tesla turbine to harness some of that steam power you'll have quite the setup. Is there always that much air traffic?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Not the big stuff. Usually just cars and planes... MacDill AFB was redirecting for what every reasons. I actually like the big aircraft because they are about 1 every 30 minutes, fly over and are gone. The small planes can take 5 minutes for sound to clear and can come every 10 minutes. When the big stuff is around, the small planes get restricted:-) The beach is by Tampa International.
