7 OFF-GRID LIVING Inventions & Products #3

[@yeetyeet449]

I’m a scout who goes camping/hammocking every weekend. I have the pro version of the LuminAid lantern and have used it for the past two years. It’s great: drop proof and waterproof and can charge devices and charge itself! The ultimate piece of kit that always impresses my friends, I would recommend to anyone that goes outdoors regularly, although it is a bit pricey for a lantern. Older version available on eBay, they served me well and it’s cheaper, but not as robust

[@DorothysHobbyFarm]

I live Off Grid and wish I had almost all of those products. We are selling out Homestead here in Colorado and moving back to Kansas and I bet I will end up buying all of these items in a very short time.

[@OutdoorEnthusist]

I found it interesting that the Bio Lite Campstove was not mentioned. Even though the fire used for cooking, heat, etc., is Bio Matter. And the inserted probe and process box (in yellow) converts heat to electricity. Which charges a battery contained in the process box. With a USB it can charge Power Packs for other uses. Example: Lights, Motors, Fans, and many other items you may wish to use for Comfort, Quality of Life, and Refrigerators. I have used Bio Lite Campstoves for many years. I really did enjoy 7 OFF-GRID LIVING Inventions & Products #3.

I own one of those lanterns, and it truly does everything the company claims. It's an amazing backpacking lantern, and emergency lantern, and I love that it fits in my glove box when flattened.

[@IraQNid]

I've loved these things since I was a kid. Not simply for people who camp or live off-grid. I see these as a way to help reduce our power bills.

[@tedc4982]

And increase your food bill... :) Gadget 1 "produces 3 Amps at 14 Volts - by peddle power... 3A x 14 v = 42 Watts, if you peddle for 1 hour you get 42 Watt-Hours - that means after an hour of peddling you can run a 100W light bulb (or device) for about 25 minutes...

[@johnree6106]

@@tedc4982 I believe that it stores power so if you use it to excise and store power it works out

[@tedc4982]

@@johnree6106 yea, it works out... works out to about 4 hours of peddling to watch a 1 1/2 rerun on your laptop.

[@johnree6106]

@@tedc4982 which is not bad it is the only way to charge it. But getting a bit of excise and charging a power bank is the key. But actually taking the time to do the math is pretty cool of you. I am more interested as the gimmick as a cool conversation toy. But as someone who spent over a month without power it does show some use. I see it as a way to get people to excise to enjoy their devices an incentive. But yes it is mainly a toy not something that you use really much. But I still think it is something useful in certain times.

Easily the most useful items for grid down that I've seen in any video, or any three videos. Thank you!

We could have California's Forestry departments use the gasifier to solve both their energy and wildfire issues use those to charge batteries to attach into smaller grid sections to reduce the chances for brownouts.

Very comprehensive. I wasn't expecting that from a 'top list' video. I'm subscribed.

[@philipenos2930]

For the K-Tor pedal generator, why do you need reflectors on the pedals?

[@tedc4982]

The reflectors help you count the calories your burning trying to recharge your phone... lol Gadget 1 "produces 3 Amps at 14 Volts - by peddle power... 3A x 14 v = 42 Watts, if you peddle for 1 hour you get 42 Watt-Hours - that means after an hour of peddling you can run a 100W light bulb (or device) for about 25 minutes.

"If you're cranking you're generating power" words to live by

[@farmerjohn2262]

The bicycle peddling power generator isn't a new concept. The professor made one on Gilligan's Island to power their radio. 😁

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Awesomeness!

[@CHMichael]

I don't think anyone actually living off grid used any of these things. I like the lantern

[@johnree6106]

Subscribed these are interesting the pedal generator is great excise and power

[@testedapproved841]

Been off grid for three years I have none of these products but I sure would like to have a couple of them LOL

[@Runescope]

For the Power Pallet Gasifier, you say that the only byproducts are "Exhaust and Biochar". But what is in the exhaust? It could be filled with hazardous chemicals. That needs to be clarified.

[@dirtroadsandwoodstoves]

Great stuff. Gave me some great build ideas 👍 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

[@comet969]

Those lanterns are nice but after a few years the plastic outer part cracks and dries out and then it is just the top solar part with the lights. That being said I love that they have the white cover making the light more ambient and not in your eyes kind of light so there the best in that category because every other type I have shine and go right to the eye witch I hate and because the lantern is inside and facing down the light is awesome and they are very bright. Great for emergencies like power outages or camping I like to stock emergency lighting so that when our electric goes out my house looks like we have power still lol I have a problem lol. But I like to be prepaid. My neighbors walked over and thought we had electricity because my living room was nice and lit up. I have lamps that are battery and a bunch or rechargeable also power banks to recharge our phones came in very handy. I even used my truck to plug something in that we needed to make something one time ok off topic now but really love the lanterns due to the awesome lighting but hate that they break down over time but you still have the top solar light piece so if your handy u could just put it into something else maybe a milk jug 😉

[@comet969]

Not sure it’s the same brand though I actually purchased mine from kickstarter in the beginning and it says so light-design

[@KPVFarmer]

The LogOx is pricier but definitely more ergonomics than the knockoffs!

Bending over can cause strain on the back, lead to injuries and even lead to having stronger back muscles and greater mobility. That's why you need a patented hook to prevent this.

[@EllyTaliesinBingle]

K-TOR generators are *great* for standard preparedness, but if you if you're ever in a *prolonged* long-term 3rd world or off-grid situation, I'm talking months or years, then it will become more of a novelty than anything else. In those situations, long-term food security is paramount, and it's not efficient to burn a bunch of calories just to acquire more calories, unless those calories are going into proper farming/harvesting techniques, rather than relatively small amounts of electricity. It's like being an Uber and driving a gas guzzling truck. Yeah, you can use it to make 600 bucks this month to pay the mortgage/rent. But then the next month, you realize your jerry cans are empty and you need to spend $300 in fuel and another $300 in maintenance. *and* pay the mortgage/rent. Better to uber for just the one day you needed 30 bucks but had extra gas.

Cycle gadget is cool

[@kastenolsen9577]

[@HurricaneJD]

I would just get the bicycle pedal generator because it looks to me like you can use your feet or your hands with it maybe switch back and forth when you get tired with each one

[@deborahduthie4519]

Patented? This design has been used since the early Greek times. Probably brought to them from Scandinavia. Patented indeed.

[@bubicus]

I have been on and off the grid numerous times over the past several years, and there have been a large number of times I could've used just 20Wh so I could squeeze a few more hours from a phone or light. A phone operates at around 5Wh when on standby and around 15-20Wh in use. A Nintendo Switch running a graphics-intensive game maxes out around 33Wh. A modern LED uses 12Wh. Even one of my more modern business laptops uses only 10Wh on standby and 30Wh in normal use, maxing out at 60Wh if I am playing a video game. 42Wh is pretty good in all of those cases.

[@tedc4982]
