Any experience with these? I've heard they are mongo shit but I thought they might be a nice tool to tuck away for emergency usb power. It doesn't specify if it just generates energy, or has a small battery onboard as well.

hmm

could this be enough to charge phone?

Trouble is all the description is in broken English, it said something about 5-10 minutes of call time

Just thought it would be a nice tertiary option for small device power.

I know batteries and power banks are best, then you want some form of generator, but I live in a one bedroom flat with my GF so idk where I'd be sticking a gas generator kek

Well I can get one for 3 quid so I'll let you all know how it goes I guess

Now that i remembered those flashlights that work with similar mechanism i don’t think power generated from here would be anything substantial for a phone

Me either, but it still might have some use.

I'll give it a proper inspection when it arrives.

If you need help with the engine ask me

I know how to diagnose a problem easily

Ill post the whole thing once i'm on my . Pc

i have a solar power bank for the phone

slow to charge in sun ofc but works well

though ive only used it under mostly grey skies

anyone have any experience with wood gas?

I built a really dirty gasifier once. Never bothered to refine it or build a cleaner one.

Only used a generator once and it didnt work

And it wasnt with wood gas

The FEMA gasifier plans leave slot to be desired. They mostly just cover theory of operation and make you figure the rest out.

There are a lot of tutorials on ytb

Pretty interesting

Ill try to build one when ill get a welder

If you need any help selecting a welder, let me know.

Uuuh

Ye

I actually do

Lets fo to tools

Why use a wood gas power generator when you could use an ethanol powered one?

https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Ethanol-Fuel

add hand crank lanterns and radios and flashlight and youre good in the hood

Lol. "Request written permission from your regional alcohol authority"

Right.

HA

Anybody ever heard of a gasifier?

I've built one.

Been looking into renewable power for off grid living, the avg household in america goes through 914kWh so monthly youll need about 1251W per month depending on your power consumption, which means roughly 7 190W solarland solar panels will be sustainable for personal living if operating with maximum efficiency

Depends

Also look into geothermal pipes to handle your heating and or cooling

Solar primary with battery backup, wind secondary, and tertiary biomass generator. That's what I'm going for by next summer. This summer I'll get my practice in with the chicken coop.

My chicken coop is already full solar lighting, internal and external. i'll be adding larger panels with batteries and charge controllers along with automated doors to the let the hens out 1hr after sunrise and shut 15 minutes after sunset.

>chicken coop
based

Bro got any links on that

I want to make my chicken coop solar

tfw no chicken coop because I'm an apartmentfag

<:cryjak:673420780565954560>

I miss my chickens

<:sadcat:673420780977127444>

@itstooslim if anon can do it so can you

Imagine the smell

The system hates the apartment chicken

Chickens are cuties

i really want chickens too but im gonna wait until i move

I dont have adult pictures, but here's on of my Rocks when she was younger

> Bro got any links on that
@Mr. Verboten watchu want? The lights I currently have, or the setup I'll be Installing?

The setup fam

It's all from Amazon

I'll gather the links tomorrow when I'm back at my desk at work

Thanks fren

soo cute

anyone know of a good solar panel device to use for when power goes down?

something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W8G48R2/ref=psdc_2236628011_t2_B07T1HJLZD
but maybe bigger and not made in china

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X1XR9HP/ref=psdc_2236628011_t2_B07W8G48R2 this one kinda seems ok

reviews are good but im still trying to figure out where it's made

im in a suburb 😔

setting up hydro power is tedious and complicated

Portable solar panel or permanent?

and just FYI, your solar panel will be chinese no matter where you order it from.

The photo cells are ALL made in china

The boards can be assembled elsewhere, but all the parts are chinese

https://youtu.be/edEhvmNlYqk

portable, it would be cheaper for me

@UncleDrMrBaby

What kind of output? You wanting to charge a phone or an e-bike?

after looking around a bit, i think somewhere around 30w

50w seem to end up being too expensive for me

no bro, what do you need output wise

powering my pc would be really nice, but that seems to be a reach

so i guess powering smaller devices

phone/vape/vidya/lamp

and whatever else

Thinking about copping this and hooking it up to a cheap ass solar panel

Wonder if I'd be able to power my hot plate with this...

for any reasonable amount of time

depends on capacity
