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

2020-02-04 14:17:04 UTC  

could this be enough to charge phone?

2020-02-04 14:17:49 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 14:18:06 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 14:18:53 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 14:44:42 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 15:00:41 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 15:11:11 UTC  

Me either, but it still might have some use.

2020-02-04 15:11:20 UTC  

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

2020-02-04 16:01:29 UTC  

If you need help with the engine ask me

2020-02-04 16:01:43 UTC  

I know how to diagnose a problem easily

2020-02-04 16:02:01 UTC  

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

2020-02-05 23:07:09 UTC  

i have a solar power bank for the phone

2020-02-05 23:07:36 UTC  

slow to charge in sun ofc but works well

2020-02-05 23:07:49 UTC  

though ive only used it under mostly grey skies

2020-02-11 20:13:01 UTC  

anyone have any experience with wood gas?

2020-02-11 21:30:03 UTC  

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

2020-02-11 22:53:18 UTC  

Only used a generator once and it didnt work

2020-02-11 22:53:31 UTC  

And it wasnt with wood gas

2020-02-11 22:56:57 UTC  

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

2020-02-11 23:41:14 UTC  

There are a lot of tutorials on ytb

2020-02-11 23:41:19 UTC  

Pretty interesting
