  • You are producing some great videos, I'm usually the one tearing things apart. One of us watching your videos is going to invent something big which will help our country become self dependent. Keep up the good work. I may have a check for you someday. The problem with the solar or electricity producing companies is they invent the technology to produce electricty for $1/watt but then they keep it for themselves or big companies and don't sell it to residential customers, I want to change that .

  • @fundude2 Thank you for the great comment:-)

  • In 1923 when my Dad was just 15 years old he took a truck generator and several disgarded Railroad signal batteries and a hand carved 8' prop and built such a generator. By the time he was 18 he had wired the farm house. In 1935 his generator was condemed when the right to generate power was given to the power company and under threat of jail his family had to dismantle everything. In 1975 I built my first solar home. The local power company challenged my right to do so.. I won.. good video

  • @jamesdond1 good story 

  • I have a 180 volt generator myself. I am on my way to put it together. But what do i do to make 180 volts into 12 volts? This part is stressing me out.

    What do i do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Warm Regards/Alex

  • has anyone tried using an electric cooling fan from a car? they are dc w/ perm magnets. installed on old vehicle i had and when i turned key off, would stay running until fan spun down.

  • You should use a wind muff for the mic when you shoot outside. It will kill the wind noise

  • I'm pleased to have found your videos. I'm making contact

    with you to offer you some dollars for placing my link in

    your video description. Call me at 949-945-5417.

  • Realistically - wind is good for 300-500 rpm a motor that ran 1750rpm powered...is going to take about 2200 rpm to be effective as a generator. there's plenty of math data that proves this on the net. because it's a higher amp motor, the winding wire is large guage - which is good to handle high amps but not to generate ...once you put load on it - you'll be lucky to get around 300 rpms ... unless your wind speeds are high... upwards of 20mph low rpm motors are best, think treadmill.

  • LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS......I WILL LOVE TO MEET YOU AND YOUR LOVELY WIFE ONE DAY.....KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING
