In this video I'm gonna attempt to power a solar panel without sunlight to see if a solar panel can work at night when there is no sunlight
So we lit up some candles and placed our solar panel to as close to the candle as possible and then we connected the output of the panel to the analogy multimeter and we got around 10 volts
Then we tried to connect the output of the panel to LED 2 watts solar lights and it seemed to produce some light although the brightest was almost the same as the one we get from the candle. Then we tried to connect the brush less DC motor and it didn't seems to rotate even after burning up some papers to produce more light the current we got was still not enough
Then we connected LED light and illuminated our panel with it and we got around 4 to 8 volts depending on distance from the solar panel to the LED Light
Then we connected incandescent light and connected the output of the solar panel to a 12 volts car phone charger and it seemed to be able of charging the phone , Then we connected the output to a brush less DC fan motor and it seemed to work very well and finally to a LED lights and it worked
Enjoy the rest of the video if you have any question or opinion leave it on a COMMENT section

nice, I don't think lawas of physics cand be broken but I would try to light a solar panel with and Led and use different reflectors around to see what output can do

[@jeffgrundy7258]

You should hook the multimeter up before you even put the candle close to it. How many volts are being produced without the candles? How much power was being produced just using the room lights?

@Mushi Trials Awesome job. Is this Polycrystalline or monocrystalline panel? I think yellow light, which matches the sunlight produces more wattage.

[@mushitrials9808]

It is monocrystalline and yes it is true that yellow light matches the sunlight and it produced more wattage

Ur effort is appreciable 👌

[@mushitrials9808]

Thank you man I'm gonna keep moving

[@mushitrials9808]

I'm happy that some few people has started to appreciate my projects

[@elmultimediaschoolofartscu3924]

Thanks a lot 😊😁. You are blessed Sir

[@esiakaharding9124]

very good tests

[@mushitrials9808]

Thanks

Did you try a hot potato or hot water bottle just in case the heat is factor onto panel?

[@elmultimediaschoolofartscu3924]

Start with battery. Create perpetual motion. I saw a new video. Add transformer

[@HypasMusic]

try old school car headlights because of the 12 volt limit and heat rays to a car battery and to the solar panel.

[@thayalansuntharalingam1051]

Key is lumens not source so if you can get high out put leds you will have more success.

[@KokoroDenshin]

try place the panel into light box with mirrors.

[@mushitrials9808]

I will try it

[@thayalansuntharalingam1051]

What about magnifiers will it increase charging?

[@sampleoffers1978]

@@thayalansuntharalingam1051 I wondered that too, I think there's videos where they use some lenses to magnify light

[@anilbisen1245]

Nice video

Thank you

[@Elpapukat]

Nice video 👍

[@mushitrials9808]

Thank you so much

[@alexaoo]

So the best option would be the candles? Good video

[@mushitrials9808]

Yeap

2 candles with 2.2 amps, 12v are 26.4W

[@mushitrials9808]

It doesn't produce that much current with candles

[@TommWayfarer]

@@mushitrials9808 you should provide some calculations to make this more interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@mushitrials9808]

@@TommWayfarer I will do it next time just subscribe ring the bell and I will provide more clarification

Drone helicopter can use AM radio recharge if solar had no sun but must have protective circuit

[@John-rj1ss]

Hello Boss.. I'm thinking can you create a self sustaining power source.. Use the bulb to power the panel.. which charges a battery, whilst powering the bulb too. So you get to use the power from the battery for whatever you want whilst the bulb powers your panel and battery. Also, I'd connect a 12v to 24v converter from the panel to the battery. By battery I mean something like poweroak.

[@mushitrials9808]

That will not work I already had that thoughts long ago but it turns out you will not get enough power From the panel to charge the battery one day I will put out the video and explain your concept well

Correct me if I'm wrong but hypothetically if you can split it to that should work as a back up plan if splitting the power made from that one panel isnt enough to power the light and phone what you can do it have a cube of 6 solar panels one powers the bulb for all 6 while the other 5 act as a phone charger or feed to a battery for independent use you technically have more than just sustaining energy machine you could achieve a clean surplus of energy.

[@CanadianMapleleaf]

​@@Videogamer617It can work by enhancing the light through a reflective process.

[@EricPham-gr8pg]

Radar can recharge it too

[@dave-874]

Wait a minute, so if the Solar panel recieving the Light of the Light bulb , the bulb wil never stop shining, 🤔

This is just a toy.
