We all rely on the internet as a reference library. In those cases when you do not have access to the internet, it's pretty difficult to access the information you need. What if you could build a device that had the entirety of Wikipedia on it and you could connect to it with your phone no matter where you are? Let me show you my implementation of the Free and Open Source project Kiwix: bit.ly/2YP73QE

I doubt it'd be difficult to add this honestly. They make folding solar chargers for USB, that'd work well. Could also use one of those other larger panels in conjunction with a regulator. I just think though that's a lot of wasted space, if you built up your own battery pack, you could make this thing run for possibly days on end. Solar panel would easily extend that. I built a smallish 12v li ion battery bank, combined it with a 10w solar panel, and some regulators, and I was able to run a Pi Zero W for almost 2 full days. The Pi was just functioning as a very dirty FM transmitter. I was out in the woods with literally no other radio sources nearby, so I was not interfering with anything, also the range was only 200-300 feet. If the sun was out more of the day, It'd likely run a third, maybe forth day. So yeah, larger battery pack, and some solar, and boom, you're pretty set.

Probably already is and if not it would be really easy. In fact most current electronics wouldn't be harmed by an EMP. The movies and myths are mostly bullshit. I could write a book about this but the quickest gist I can give you is this: Soooo many things give off electromagnetic waves and most electronics would interfere with each other if critical components were not shielded from the electromagnetic pulses as well as other forces. A couple examples would be your car and its ECM/PCM are shielded (no issues). Your PC/Laptop are shielded (no issues). Also EMPs dont effect the batteries, cables, wires, resistors, bussbars, fuses, mechanical switches/relays. Soooo....99% sure this thing is fine already but if you are worried just stick it inside a potato chip bag.

@@Hexen_Wulf I would argue, that a little hinge on the display frame, with a small solar panel hidden behind the display, would not add too much weight or size. You could pop that out and put the solar panel out to recharge. This will also create redundancy, as your hotspot becomes independent. In that situation, even worse than putting all eggs in one basket, is to store the cans in a different location than the can opener.

Never know how long the Zombie apocalypse lasts. - Include basic programming tools (C++ comes to mind) so it can be expanded if needed. - Here Maps with offline world data. The entire world with navigation running on the PI.

You'll lose Wifi and radio if you built it into the computer case itself and grounding it is difficult.

A Power bank is bad enough for robbing power, it is already using a boost converter to make 5V from 3.7V. Two super caps and a 10W solar panel on the lid, a proper solar charger that regulates to 5.2V directly, then an E-paper display and some serious sleep routines, so the Pi goes into low power mode when not updating the screen. Ditch the WIFi, who carries a phone in the apocalypse? Just put a minimum of navigation buttons on it to navigate the screen and use them for OSK too. They can also have their own micro controller, that wakes up the PI so it doesn't has to pool for key presses constantly. The you have a device that can run in 200 years on a rainy day or indoors infront of a bonfire. Actually, it shouldn't even be nessecary to use a PI, an Aurdino or AVR should do, if you just format the pages as text and JPGs for a minimal gui.

Which Raspberry Pi version do you recommend? Is the Pi 4 8GB worth getting, or would it be too much of a power drain, and total overkill?

Hello I have a question is it possible to store everything on a external drive on the raspberry pi if I wanted to add more of the content? Also I was wondering if we can just run it on the network? Instead of a hotspot.

Nice vid. I am just a curious guy that loves electronics, but don't have a brain for it. I would love to see a project of a "multi purpose" device. Like "pc diagnostics, computer, with some sensors(I don't know, temp, humidity, em....) I really admire you guys that plays with electrons. My father was one electron-player.

Love the project, got it all set up, but I get url not found errors when I try to access any of the pages, ie ‘The requested URL “/wikibooks_en_maxi.en” was not found on this server.’ So I'm shelving it for now. I look forward to when I can figure out how to fix it though, very cool

How much would something like this cost and would it be possible to have enough memory to have a library of movies and music stored as well as the ability to use solar panels to recharge? Maybe even have an area inside the case to store said charging panels so when covered in a faraday cage it’s protected?

I've used xowa to download the entirety of wiki, wikiversity, books and news, in English, back in 2016. Approximately 243GB of data (back then) in a magnetic disk. I then covered it in antistatic bag and cardboard, and I keep it in a metallic cover under a soft purse, and it's either stored in a wooden cabin under meters of cement (the building I live in) or a cooler bag inside another backpack when on the go. I now keep an SMG with it and I'm damn proud of it all !!! XD LOL I gotta say, in all honesty, that I'm for real. I've also developed a lossless compression algorithm and I plan on printing the whole thing with it (maybe in metallic sheets too). The only drawback is that, at the moment, I need the same amount of space in ram to do that and I can't overcome this problem. I did manage to find alternative ways but they're a mess. TMI, I know, but who knows. Maybe this saves a life or, should I ever die, lucky those who find the thing (and the rifle). Humanity has a chance ! XD
