At one time I had planned to do that. If you look at the list of 180+ videos on my channel you will find that I tend to jump from one type of subject to another. I like to share whatever my current project idea is then move on to a different subject. If you live in a relatively dry climate with an abundant supply of fresh water I think you could make something that is practical on a large scale. Here in South Carolina is too humid for it to be practical.

It was nine years ago and what I used was a sample of reflective polished aluminum that I was able to obtain from a bulk supplier to large solar projects. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the vendor. I recommend doing some Google and Bing with Chat GPT 4 searches for “polished aluminum mirrors for solar collectors”. A manufacturer of the aluminum foil or the solar collectors can probably direct you to the right vendor. Just call the tech service people and start asking questions.

Thanks for your question. I also am an old boomer so we are even on age. Normally when you take a photo with your iPad it should appear in your photos app. If you take a picture with your iPhone and send it to your iPad via airdrop it will appear in your photos app. If for some reason you don’t have a photos app on your iPad you can download it from the App Store. It is possible to put pictures in your “Files” folder, if you have some there you can click on “save image” in the share drop down menu and it will automatically go into your Photos app. If someone sends you a photo via messages or email you should be able to click on “save image” and put it in your Photos app. Within the Photos app you can organize your photos into albums. I hope this helps. If you have additional questions please reply back to me.

@@anisotropicplus thank you. For some reason when I want to share a photo only some

Sorry dog hit my hand and I sent the comment not finished😂 only some photos can be pulled up . If I delete all the photo apps I have and just use one they should all drop into that one ? I’m so confused 😂😂😂

Since the combine photos shortcut app is a standard Apple app it is designed to access photos from the standard Apple “Photos” app. If you are still having problems saving your photos to the Apple Photos app you could contact Apple for tech support. I got the following suggestions from Microsoft’s Bing with Copilot and Chat GPT 4. To get tech support for your iPad from an Apple Store, you can follow these steps: Visit the Official Apple Support Website: You can find a wealth of information and resources for iPad support, including setting up your device, backing up data, and troubleshooting common issues1. Contact Apple Support: You can call Apple’s customer support at 1-800-275-2273 in the United States. Be ready with your device’s serial number to expedite the process2. Use the Apple Support App: Download and use the Apple Support app for personalized assistance with your Apple products1. Make a Genius Bar Appointment: Schedule an appointment at a Genius Bar in your nearest Apple Store for in-person tech support. You can find your nearest store and schedule an appointment through Apple’s retail list3. Start a Repair Online: If you need a repair, you can start the process online by telling Apple what’s going on with your iPad, and they’ll guide you through the support options1. Remember, if you have AppleCare+, you can get unlimited repairs for accidental damage protection and 24/7 priority access to Apple experts1. For immediate assistance, visiting an Apple Store and speaking directly with an expert is often the quickest way to resolve technical issues.

That is a good question. I did not actually try to install it in a standard hot water heater. I recently replaced two 38 gallon standard water heaters with a 50 gallon Rheem hybrid heat pump hot water heater. It is very efficient, but I have had some thermistor problems with it. I recommend you contact Missouri Wind and Solar with your question. windandsolar.com/?keyword_session_id=vt~adwords%7Ckt~missouri%20wind%20and%20solar%7Cmt~b%7Cta~340302867773&_vsrefdom=wordstream&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw-O6zBhASEiwAOHeGxaR_eY-_W8tSvYvmJAKGOg_ZW-2Ib8Pp-O29NKi9hv-9CPBxQmHOoBoCKJUQAvD_BwE

Thanks for watching and your comment.

I agree

Great idea! Even better would be to install good thermistors as original equipment.

South Carolina. When I had it installed in 2018 there was a federal 30% tax credit and South Carolina had a 25% credit. Thankfully I stopped waiting and just did it and it was one of my better decisions. Now that we have a Bolt EV and a Tesla Model 3 it is really paying off. I still would like to have a whole house back up battery or have a bidirectional EV that could function as a backup battery during power failures. We have a grid sensing string inverter that will not deliver power to the house during grid power failures. Some microinverters may still work when the grid is down. Make sure you look at all the newest options before you install a system.

@@anisotropicplus question also is did you install like a net electrical meter that works where if you have more solar power then you're using the extra power goes back to the grid?

@@ronbown3836I was restricted to what our electric company allowed at the time. The meter runs backwards when excess solar power is being produced. I believe they now have a net billing system option which is different.

@@anisotropicplus in Michigan here they don't allow net metering. Back in 2018 they had a program for it and anybody with existing systems can still utilize the net metering but once 10 years goes by all them people have to switch back to the original style. Total b*******.

Thanks for your comment.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to make this video. If they were going to put a devilish cap like this, they should have a standard symbol to indicate that. How hard can it be to think of something - a red tape, for instance? I have arthritis and I wouldn't have got it if I had known. I consider it fraud and ageism. It's up to parents to put things above their child's reach. All citizenry shouldn't be held to ransom. Least the government can do (if it's government regulation), is indicate.

It just depends on your amount of experience troubleshooting technical issues. Most people interested in purchasing the hybrid hot water heaters already understand the science and why they are efficient. Other non scientific people get interested when they find out how much they can save on their power bill. Rheem does need to make sure they improve their manufacturing processes to minimize defects.

Keeping the cord off the ground should help. Thanks for watching.

I still remember being impressed with the gorilla at the Atlanta Zoo 60 years ago. They had a huge truck tire attached to a chain for him to play with. He could squeeze it like a baby’s toy. Unbelievable strength!

I do not have Patreon. What kind of experiments are you interested in?

Thank you for your very nice comment.

@@anisotropicplus our Facebook buy nothing group only allows one photo per post. I just posted a link to your KZbin videos to show others in the group how easy it is to comply!

I wondered about that myself. It is hard to tell where they are unless a mound is visible. I plan to monitor the Dawn treated mounds to see if they come back quickly.

Thanks for watching and your comment.

Thanks for watching. We probably got lucky with the water because of the recent rains.

Thanks for watching. I am not sure how to answer your question. I did a video on earwigs accumulating under the caps of my yellow diesel fuel containers and a video on gnats being attracted to my yellow diesel fuel containers and apparently being killed on contact with any surface diesel on the container. I have not personally observed cicadas, earwigs, ants or any other insects being attracted to the diesel containers. In the case of the fire ant mounds in our pastures I have not seen any other insects in the mounds. I would not recommend broad application of insect control soap and just focus on gardens or fire ant mounds. Since Dawn biodegrades fairly quickly it should not retain any long lasting insecticidal effect. We have never had a major problem with cicadas so we have not investigated any cicada specific methods of control.

Thank you for sharing. Please let us know how long it is good for. Orkin only lasts 30 days in my yard sometimes.

@@ReneeParsons-vu1hi At this time I don’t know how long it will last. Time will tell. I will periodically check the treated fire ant mounds to see if and when they return.

Thank you. Dawn treatments are budget friendly.

Thanks for watching and your question. I did not put the ball under the sink with tape covering the IR sensor. Since it appeared that electrically grounding the main metallic body of the sink was neutralizing any RF effect I did not do any further experiments. If you try that yourself and see an effect please share it in the comments whether it works or not.

You can do that with a superconductor hovering above strong magnets, but I don’t know how to do it with gyroscopes.

Thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge.

It is more work the poison, but much safer.

You must drive 85 mph on the highway. I have taken many 3,000 road trips and I average, in my Long Range Model Y) about 241 watts per mile or 4.1 miles per kilowatt at the speed limit..... I dod not do jack rabbit starts and and I set FSD to drive the speed limit.....

It's not all driving. Battery condition, HVAC and yes driving. I average better while driving a straightaway at 75 but you gotta stop and charge, cold weather takes a toll on the average. Even the AC pulls a lot of Amps. And the Model X weighs about 700lbs more.

Thanks for watching and your idea. I am not sure at this time when I will get back to those gyroscope experiments, but I will consider your idea if and when I do.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I have been cleaning my panels once a year even though I did not have a lot of pollen and it is hard to see the difference in performance. If there was a lot on your panels I can see where that would have a large impact. Thanks again.

Thanks for watching and your very interesting ideas.
