 All right, you pilot turkeys while you're up there What solar panels should I put on the roof you think I should take? Take the solar panels off this boat and put them up here And just make that a pedal boat and just steal all the stuff from there and put it on here Yeah, except the kid box. Well, yeah Okay, so definitely a possibility I Could take these solar panels and put them up there If I do that though, I want to make sure I can flip them upside down so they're not always in the Sun As these solar panels are the plastic ones the flexible solar panels They don't last as long as the glass ones Because the surface here is plastic However, if you keep them out of the Sun most of the time, then they do last really long And the big advantage of these over the glass ones is that these are a lot lighter Although they don't have high enough voltage to charge the batteries I'm gonna have on that boat So I'd have to put at least one glass solar panel up there To charge the batteries and then if I put these I could just run the motors directly off these I you're right, I could put two glass ones The front up there and that is a good-looking roof So not slippery at all. I Sweet Does flex a little bit under your feet. I can see although if you know where to step It won't flex see where the seams are yet step with where the seams are and then halfway between the seams is where it's gonna Be strongest. Yeah, if you always step there, see it's really strong. It doesn't flex at all You don't weigh enough to flex it at all. So it doesn't matter All right Yeah, I can make it flex. There won't be any dance parties up there, but people can definitely go up Okay, back to the solar panels. Maybe I should Get some measurements on these Just draw out some possibilities Get some measurements on the glass ones that I might put up there All right, what's the width here? Oh, I need to use imperial noodle units because the roof Those sheets are four by ten foot sheets. All right fine We have 39 inches by 54 and a half inches or imperial noodle units 54 and a half by 39 This is the smaller solar panel size bigger solar panel size three of these will fit this way Almost perfectly overhanging by like a tiny bit. I can't fit four of those across You know what? I think I think I want to go with the glass solar panels They're a little bit heavier. However, they are more robust And They're also the panels I took off the boat Yeah How do I mount these guys? So about a week ago, I came up with this Lego design and I haven't come up with anything better I think this is what I want to do So They're connected like that Which means you can tip it up Or and that would be like to get it out of the way if people want to stand up on the roof and stuff Or if the Sun is coming from this direction, I can tip it like that Get a bit more sun on it And I like this I could also have a go down over the side But I'm not going to worry about that mostly I wanted to be able to do that and That's kind of good because then it's like a railing for kids so they don't fall off the roof Okay So pretty simple making this with Lego Slightly more things to think about when making it out of real stuff But shouldn't be too hard to figure out the details I guess the questions are how does this Hook in down here in such a way that it's easy to do quickly and Stays well enough that the wind is not just gonna, you know push it You know mess it up in some way. I don't quite have enough lock nuts to put on these so I'm just gonna Damage the threads a little bit Yeah I should still be able to get it off. I really want to but it's not gonna just wiggle off on its own great This silly table is proving to be extremely useful We need to make sure I don't drill into my solar panels when I start drilling the frame That should stop it Didn't hit the panel good looks like I got the height here about right Looks even with that one. Yeah, I think that'll be okay I Have to rivet those down And then figure out what I do at this end Something Wait a minute. Do I want to rivet those or bolt those? If I bolt them I can put a nice fat washer on the bottom. I'll have more to hold on to Although I'm not gonna be able to hey get a washer in here. Yeah, I think I can only have only have space for rivets It's beautiful What a good solution nice work Jamie Know all your brains were working today. I guess I better get the one of these on the other end Look at that walks right into place. Don't go anywhere. I Had to make well, I had to cut a piece of box tube Like a square to get this angle piece. So I already have another one of these which is nice it'll go all the way there on the other end and For the the middle seams there's gonna be there'll be three solar panels So there'll be two seams before the end and for those seams I'm going to just take the top off the box tube to keep a u-channel and then just do the exact same thing And once one solar panel will connect into one side and the other solar panel will connect into the other side Beauty like this one would connect here, and then the next one over would connect here Yeah, all right. So that's all the details of these worked out now. I can just assembly line it Just make a whole bunch of copies of everything Maybe I will go get something to eat first because it's like almost four o'clock. I skipped breakfast And then I skipped lunch and now I'm just hungry, but I want to do this. Oh, I love building things
