I never use a "ratio" to dissolve gold. Just cover with HCl and add just enough oxidizer to dissolve the material. You will end up having to neutralize the excess nitric before precipitation anyway. It's just more economical to not add too much to begin with. I also use a strip of filter paper to stannous test with.

Did you grow up on a farm, or have to learn all this the hard way? From your other videos you’re clearly a super handy person, but Pigs can be dangerous… it’d be hard not to have nerves the first time you held a nearly full-grown hog down. Plus like, before you started your farm, did you know how frequently sows accidentally killed their piglets? Because I figure that would have a super “omg what happened” moment the first time you saw a crushed little pig.

@Rowow11 күн бұрын
I've spoken to many people in the industry across many industries and the shift is completely changing. Western products break and are more junk that Chinese stuff. Sorry but that's just a fact today. Fixing them is far more difficult and typically impossible through no information, absurd hardware implementation, or outright refusal by the manufacturer to sell parts. Chinese stuff typically uses off the shelf components and they give you their schematics and information without hesitation. So why pay for a device you can't fix yourself, and breaks more often, than for a Chinese product that lasts longer, can fix yourself, and most importantly for the same exact price you can buy 5 of the Chinese stuff. So can buy a bunch extra for spares and it'll last 10x longer than western shit. I support American manufacturing and plan to start a electric excavator factory soon, but we need to end our corruption and actually make good products. Instead of removing features and charging more for it later. Perfect example, subscription to heated seats in your car. Absolutely absurd

Actually the most common reason for solar farms to replace panels today? Is to increase production and efficiency. There are a lot of farms out there with 300 watt range single sided panels. And it makes a LOT of financial sense to upgrade them to the new 400+watt bi-facial panels. Which can produce over 500 watts with the bi-facial gains.

G'day mate, Really interesting stuff re the BMS. Already a big fan of active balance and they are so cheap too. I live over in Thailand and a lot of the videos, in Thai, on how to build a battery will most always have an active balance and a BMS. I was a bit blown away that you got your 25KW battery for 1200 bucks and that was a few years ago. Just now I can possibly build a 25KW battery here using 200Ah LiFePo4 cells for around that same price, but year ago add another 25% and 2 years ago add another 25% to the year ago price....A lot of solar gear is a lot cheaper here in Thailand and also shipping from China is cheaper as they can truck it in.........that's why I'm so impressed with those prices you achieved. Well done buddy and best of luck with the membrane :)

Yes, when you sell power to the utility you get paid a lot less than when you buy it. That makes sense. When you buy electricity you are paying for (1) someone to generate it, (2) someone to ship it from the point of generation to the point of distribution (called transmission) and (3) someone to distribute it locally (your utility). You also pay for some state and federal taxes. When you sell it you are only the generator and only get paid for generation.
@davefroman47002 ай бұрын
In ten years time the utilities business model will be obsolete. It will end up being cheaper to be self sufficient? Than merely paying them for the pleasure of delivering that energy, before the actual cost of the power is added to the equation. We are already way past grid parity today. The next chapter? Is being called god parity.

check on Wikipedia for Per Capita Energy Use, for the US it is 300GJ per person per year, of course in the US NE, the spring and fall production is about 25% each of annual, the winter is 8% while summer is 42% giving 5x the energy production in summer over winter. Now take a std 1.5m2 panel rated at 250W peak, it will make 1.1GJ/yr or with some daily battery use maybe 1GJ/yr. So in my case 15 panels on a roof for 5 people only makes about 1% of all total primary energy use. So what is the point, we are ignoring the giant use of energy outside of electric use. So 300 panels per person would make the same amount of total primary energy use annually and it would be hugely skewed to the summer and would need battery to make it work daily except for winter. So glad that nuclear is coming back with Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc, perhaps maybe we can be carbon free and won't need 300 panels of area per person. Also see LLNL Energy Flow Graph, and the free pdf book by David MacKay, "Without The Hot Air"
@Rowow2 ай бұрын
uh I think you are very confused or misinformed. Not sure where you got your numbers from. I think you are looking at entire energy use. aka what it takes to build the car you use, the electronics, roads etc. US average annual energy consumption is only 4000kwh. Peaks at 8000kwh in some states. Or 11-22kwh per day. 10kw solar panels can be purchased for under $1600. And you would only need 1-2 hours of sunlight a day to generate enough power for your whole home... www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=49036

I picked up seven 250w panels for 60 AUD that had been hit by lightning and were replaced by home and contents insurance. $20- worth of Schottky diodes later I have 1.5kw on my chook pen roof. So over paneled it is nuts but I still have full capacity except for the darkest stormy days. Even that can be fixed by a couple of extra batteries. PS. When we get hail here it is between golf ball and tennis ball size and it can destroy some of your panels but that isn't where the true expense lies. Panels are dirt cheap if you are patient and know where to look but LFP batteries and Victron gear, though getting cheaper all the time, and heavy gauge copper cables are the main expense. Everything apart from the panels is housed within a weatherproof structure so it is not an issue.

My aproach is all of the above. Solar and battery for primary power with grid supplementing as needed. However I keep a small supplemental generator and a supply of fuel because sometimes the sun just does not shine for several days and I can only afford so much battery capacity. Generator mostly just sits configured for long term storage (fuel drained ect) and several cans of fuel in the shed. every few months I refill my car from the cans instead of the pump and refresh the gas cans. Annually I pull out the generator, replace fluids if needed and run maybe a half gallon of fuel though it to make sure everything is still working. Usualy on a cloudy week in the winter when solar input is not keeping up with demand. System only pulls from the grid if batteries are below 50% so may as well get some charge out of the test run.
