I’m trying to make an F-18 like the F-35 II you have b it’s hard to make

Hey Alan, I found you years ago when you were playing with those dollar store solar panels. Any thoughts on doing more "random electrics tinkering" videos?

U never know what ur going wanna do with any screw. I go a lil overboard what have organization but if u end up throwing one away🤬😡🤬 WHy didn't I save that one could have used it RIGHT NOW lmao 😅🔩 I throw away flat head tho 👍

OEM lightbar looks much cleaner

Hello,Alans!! This is polly from CTmods,which is specialized in cybertruck accessories! We want to collab with you

Hey man, do you mind giving links to all the tools you used in this video? specifically the wire cutters

Who does bro think he is

Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should. I guess you identify as a clown cause all your getting is laughs with that.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Only thing I’m going to do differently is bringing in all the wires through the back of the board, Like I use to do with my car stereo systems back in the day just to not see them. Probably use seal tight also.

What LED bar is it. LINK ? I would recommend ceramic coating the light bar to make bug removal easier

very nice how much Amp and volt it is

I know you said your panels are now wired in parallel. What other parts did you need in order to run in parallel and all 4 panels laid out horizontally on your shed?

Did you encounter low voltage issue on your raspberry Pi?

Its NOT a transistor and resistor.

Dollar tree solar lights are good for AAA rechargeable batteries

How did you engineer the purple holder for the panels and base to 3D print? Would love to see an overview of that process. Thx

alan thanks so much learned a lot now i can install mine

What dimension should I get for plye 6.5 150watt marine to fit on the front ?

So, Harbor Freight sells their "Chinese Special" car battery solar panel battery maintainer for ~$15 USD (SKUs: 64251, 44768, 68692, 62449). It's rated 24V at 1.5W. While 24v is a _bit_ of a pain (I like my sealed lead acid batteries), 60mA is NOT a whole lot, it would probably still manage to charge a small 12v sealed lead acid battery somewhat slowly. You'll also need a dropping resistor of ~160 ohms. Alright, so what about DIYing this with solar garden lights? If the rough math I did is correct, you'll need 36 of them (12 in series, 3 in parallel). Each one does ~2V at 20mA and they're about $1.25 USD a pop where I live, which means about _$50 USD._ Yeah. Although, if you config them as 6 in series and 6 in parallel you won't need the dropping resistor. Granted, 2V 20mA panels off AliExpress are probably much cheaper, but then you have shipping, and 12V panels at ~1W are probably cheaper too. So, not cost effective! Though if you already have these things, why not?

I don't recommend taking the panels out as you essentially CAN'T solder to the bare panels.

Can this be used to supplement electricity usage in a small house?

brilliant video :)

What percent nitro are you running

great stuff bro

Hey Alan, your last video inspired me. I lack any knowledge of electrical things and have never soldered but I bought 17 similar lights from my dollar store and plan on using it as a chance to learn solder and make a basic model for my 3d printer. I will tag you in a few weeks when it's done. I know the output will suck but it's more a proof of concept for me. Perhaps something bigger next?

these are the kind of project I enjoy

I love “Grampa for reference”! Thanks for the great idea. I so want a Jasmin wall💖

Very helpful. Thanks.

That’s sick

😮

How do you think something like this would work to mount on top of a drone? Have a dji mini 2 and was thinking of a way to make a row of 3 or 4 mini panels and somehow get a USB c charger connected from the panels to connect to the drones port to see if it'll keep charging as it's running

You make it sound like the laser malfunctioned... Operator error. The manufacturer should give you crap. RTFM and don't act like the manufacturer did something sheisty.

So I hooked up 25 of the Walmart solar-powered $1 lights but I think I did something wrong like you did and I just hooked all 25 up together and didn't bother putting any capacitor I know it's like 3 years ago or 5 years ago from this video but if you get back to this man I I could use some advice from a real professional

Forgive me my ignorance, but how many watts can u pull of it?

1:22 thats not a transistor

Appreciate it, Alan. You wouldn't believe how hard it can be sometimes to find the right search results! Great video! I sure needed the help!

Did you wire the panels in series or parallel?

you move to much makes me dizzy

*Promo SM* 😈

Been there, done that. It's a poor strategy. The connections to the solar panel are done with some specialist technique. Once the original wire is pulled off its virtually impossible to solder new wire back on. The 'Transistor' is not a transistor but a voltage boost ic. Better to get a decent big solar panel. here in the UK, the yield from solar panels is pretty hopeless,.

All you have to do is tap into the powerline thats running above the shed

e waste, at ths oint you can send them 120$ and ask them to dump used engine oil in a river to save the time.. this is the reality of at least 10% products out there

I have a bunch of those exact same machines. I spent $30 per machine. it's a fun toy

You didn't use proper work holding. User error. Sorry you didn't have better luck.

I dont know how I feel about this video.

hmm. Here's a thing, I don't like to make negative comments. But, maybe - keep to your day job buddy.. Troubleshooting and resourcefulness is necessity of every engineer and entrepreneur . Basic requirement.
