Power Bank Project Update! And Others...

[@J4RDAAN]

That power bank is nuts. Take my freaking money!! Big congratulations

[@quillianvalk]

I think the name of the power bank should be "Take My Money"

[@kralyn3d]

Sorry for the long wait, but I finally got a product prototype that I am confident in aesthetically and functionally, and it is ready for production. I will most likely make the electronics design open sore once it launches. For the 3D printer, I will try my best to get it working by mid-June. If you have any questions and suggestions, please ask away!

[@Ohlookitsajosh]

So cool!! I am majoring in electrical engineering, what did you go to university for and where at? Awesome work hope to see the kickstarter

[@kralyn3d]

@@Ohlookitsajosh I am going to a design school in New England, I basically self-taught my electronics skills as I am not that good at following a curriculum.

[@Mainlidar]

@@kralyn3d will you make a video about how you design this power bank, i think you can name the project 'power x'

[@cobblecraft0028]

I know someone that could produce parts for the powerbank, he could produce large quantities of metal or plastic components for you

[@timc.3342]

So i had an Idea. How about SWABLE No limits available. Name is put together out of its ability to swap atachments and its reliability. Good Luck witch your campain its an awsome project.

Awesome man !!!!! Please make it commercially available across the globe, love from India!

[@MrAwesome4184]

AMAZING! I’ve been hesitant to build one of your earlier projects because you keep coming up with better and better designs. Now I’m excited to back your crowd funding project!

[@TurboSqu1d]

Fantastic as always, count me in for when you release the crowdfunding campaign

[@lunaticfpv17]

The concept of expandable power bank modules is brilliant. That's the kind of engineering I'm looking for 👍

[@DJ_Level_3]

I would honestly buy that 3D printer and the battery bank because they're both amazing ideas. Especially the portable printer, I could keep doing projects while on vacation or at friends' houses!

[@adrianbonpin]

This honestly might be the first product that I might join in crowdfunding other than the baliscissors

[@engineer0239]

The new Powerbank is absolutely amazing! Will definitely buy it when it comes out! I would also love to see the (safety) features in detail, like you have shown for your past versions

[@kralyn3d]

I did not go over it because there’s too many, from fuses to clamping diodes, and a custom dedicated BMS. I cut it out because it makes the video 2.5min longer. But you will see on the circuit diagrams I am eventually going to release

[@blanc6461]

Really enjoy your content and admire your work. Keep it up!

[@hippie-io7225]

Great design, both electronic and industrial! This could be a very useful "camping" power bank. Therefore, if possible, keep your IP65/67 specs in mind.

I'm happy you're speaking in this video!! You're doing an amazing job. Please remember to post real pictures of the product when you make a crowdfunding campaign.

[@anupnairrocksu]

I definitely appreciate for hours of workmanship given to this project and its excellent work done by you according to my point of view keep it up. And also sharing the aesthetics of the project with us. Thanks For That.

[@RCAVDH]

I hope you will design products in the future that will last as long as possible and can easily be repaired.

[@walttechnology]

Easy to repair indeed sir, I really agree with you on This one

[@hed420]

Wow. Love the new design . I just hope it's affordable when you bring it to market or offer a cheaper diy kit for us poor people . What is the outer case made from ? Looks like 3d resin.

[@rp1570]

I love your projects.i have seen all your projects.please update with more

[@josephgraham1065]

Looking forward to the funding so I can get one

[@festro1000]

definitely like the power supply's new design seems more compact, and the bi-directional nature of the USB-C and barrel jack is a step ahead of other products.

[@MightyElemental]

Absolutely amazing. Very clean design and great features.

[@pherd-0884]

this seems closer to a consumer item with proper safety features than a home-made design. Its very very refined. I approve and I believe this is a great improvement. I'll most definitely back this as a crowdfund campaign. I wanted to build my own, but battery charging across an array or figuring out charging protocols hurts my brain. Good work! If you hit Arizona on your travels, I'd be happy to be your ambassador.

[@mattmack]

When do you actually think they'll go into production? Can't wait to get one.

[@kralyn3d]

I will try to launch it before the end of April, with probable production this summer.

[@Raress96]

Well, this aged poorly haha. Any updates about the Kickstarter?

[@MaxNippard]

Battery Bank looks great, very well thought out and practical. My one wish would be more info displayed at once but I do love the look of the big led matrix with big text and numbers. Excited about the printer project too.

[@siddhesh95]

Big fan of your since your first video I am supporting you and sharing it to everyone as much as I can love your projects and just wait for next project to come... Love from India.. 👍🏻

[@aaronporter9739]

I always carry atleast one powerbank with me at all times, and this is fantastic thoughtful design.

[@electrohigh9777]

A system above current commercial versions, but developed by just one person, that's incredible! Congratulations! 👏 Message from Brazil, I'm not good at English so I used Google translator

[@AdmitthatijustdiditX]

Wow, just awesome design. This is the ultimate power bank. Would love to see the ability to stack a few of these together to create a powerhouse, to compete with some of the others out there. Its modularity would be amazing.

[@kralyn3d]

Let me see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@chelarestelar]

Will the Powerbank be sold with or without cells? Or maybe with the option for us to put our own? Another question would be if you could make several designes, for 18650's, 21700 and 26650's

[@arthurenright4146]

This came up as a suggested video and I thought "Oh wow, a power bank project" then I watched the video and WOW! This is by far the coolest power bank I've seen and I would love to support this device through a crowd funding campaign! Can't wait for it to go live!

[@avintoussaint3551]

This is amazing I can't wait to see the finished project and the idea of modules is mind-blowing and everything overall is really inspiring. What is the battery capacity in Mah and how do you plan to mass produce materials for it like batteries, boxes, etc

[@jarradmann3357]

Excellent design and functionality. Looking forward to the campaign launch. Wish you every success.

[@Venrad]

Love the concept, been looking for a power bank with adjustable dc output, What I would love to see is a hot-swappable 18650 ports

[@NightShadow4467]

I love the mods, I love the base design, I love the USB-C PD input/output, I love the variable voltage dc input/output. I think the only thing I won't love is going to be the price. Why do power banks get me so excited?

[@stefankachaunov396]

Hey man, here are some name suggestions: 1. Volt Buffer 2. Electron Hold 3. Pylon CoreBlock 4. Nexus Charge Controller 5. Powersnap Core 6. K3 Power Interface 7. Charge Slice 8. DC Director 9. Current Commander 10. Charge Dispatcher 11. ChargeCloud Nucleus 12. VersaBlock Core I checked most of them for infringing on existing tech products, hope you find some inspiration! Maybe you can mix and match something. Anyway, I love your dedication and attitude towards this project and I love the concept, I'll be eagerly waiting for the campaign to drop! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@chetanshintre7355]

The power bank is amazing and offers next level of user experience. I would suggest to make batteries detachable so that it can be replaced for more capacity.

[@AKAtheA]

the dot matrix display definitely looks nice

[@DIY-rf8qm]

Great video love to see your projects!! Cannot wait on the detailed power bank video!!

[@bob2859]

Great stuff! Would like to see battery-care features, like limiting state of charge to 20-80%. You lose 40% capacity but gain on the order of 400% more cycles! No product I've found offers that - makes sense for a large manufacturer to limit the lifespan of a device. But it could give you a selling point. :) Those LEDs are nice and bright... unless you're in a dark room. Hoping to see some way to limit display brightness, maybe even automatically. Throwing "ModPod" into the hat of names. It's modular, and you could call those external modules "pods".

[@no-one3795]

Nice design. I think a module for an extra battery is a nice addition. Just in case someone needed more battery capacity.

[@BAMB00STE]

The modular battery cells were a really unique feature in the power bank market. They would be especially practical, since the module itself is so complicated. Amazing project anyways.

[@harjeetsingh6853]

This is such a minimal design yet packed with many features, this is something I would buy no matter the price!

[@Edgar-so9of]

You shall be one of my KZbin academy professor. I love this power bank and the idea of having diy attachments. subscribed and rang the bell.

[@warhawk8080]

Oh I can't wait for the crowd funding!! Would LOVE to see the entire thing injection molded!!!! Can't wait...I will definitely be ordering one of these bad boys!!!! I wonder if a dot matrix printer could "print" liquid UV curable 3D printer material...this way it just shoots it on the print..and UV lights expose the print and it hardens...this way you don't have a tub of liquid 3D material but rather a tank and either a pressurized head just shoots it out to the print

[@ZiFrenZie]

Don’t forget in finished product to print the power bank specifications like the power bank capacity on the back of the device for legal reasons 👍 Overall, very good innovative power bank.

[@ThomasRaud]

Amazing JOB dude! I want that powerbank!

[@dummypg6129]

for the external module connector, it's a nice addon to be able to increase capacity by adding extra sets of 18650 batteries thru that connector.

[@dummypg6129]

if this will be a feature, i want a powerwall version of the external battery module, which then you can connect this powerbank that will act as its controller.

[@richardingle7540]

Best designed power bank i ve ever seen , this is something i would definately buy , great video , thank you 👍

[@jean.haller]

I so hope, that your campaign gets fully backed! A lot oft people saying they'llback you and noww its only been 119 until now.. -.- This polycharge is awesome but i wanted to build the design you made in 2019... really a dilemma...

[@adrianzakrzewski4235]

Amazing powerbank! Good choice of MCU and all other internal components. It's really well made and not over engineered ;) But actually I don't know any powerbank that have some wireless communication or something. More metal frame with plastics would be amazing but harder to manufacture and more expensive :/ I don't know what could you actually upgrade there. Maybe some better protection from dust etc. And more strong housing? Also I don't know it it's good idea but small buzzer to beep when the power is low? I got some inverter and it beeps when the power is low and it will shut down in a while. Like a reminder that you don't have much time left hah But flashing LEDs is enough I think. I'm looking forward to see updates on it ;) At this time I don't have any powerbank and I would like to make one myself, but yours is truly stunning for me. Ah, and the name! Maybe... MPPB (Modular Portable Power Bank) or something simmilar like UPMPB (Ultimate Portable Modular Power Bank) Guess it's too long hah For short - MPB (you know what this is) Even shorter? Here you go: MP (Modular power) Probably I'm not good at inventing names :/ Have a great day :)

[@rolandleyco573]

I usually hate kickstarters, but this is something I can put my trust into. Great build and research has been put into this.

[@joshuamckown3145]

Your power bank design is super cool! The variable DC output would be incredibly useful at my job. If you made a module with two RJ45 connectors, enabling the power bank to function as a portable PoE injector for network-powered devices, I would be pretty desperate to buy one.

[@RCAVDH]

You are a great designer! Thanks for sharing!

[@danb5480]

This is absolutely amazing well done buddy 👍 I will definitely be getting one. 😎

[@GoFastJames]

Nice job keep up the good work. For years been trying to find someone that can work on projects like this. The main thing I want to see is extremely fast charging of the bank itself. Have few other ideas for larger and smaller units.

Speaking of naming, I came up with that giant ass robot from greek mythology, Talos, as series name for powerbank and its modules. Like, powerbank itself can be named Talos Core, suggesting that its a main thing that required for everything else, and different modules may take something like Talos Extensions: AC Adapter, or Talos Extensions: Solar panels hub I have some ideas of how it can look as branded commercial product, would like to try to render it in 3d by the weekend

With the modular attachment you can add traditional wall plugs for any international standard. That's fantastic! Also can you make an attachment that expands the capacity? Definitely adding the kickstarter campaign to my watch and invest list when it's up.

I fully support your idea of making the plug in socket a universal type, rather than making modules for each geographical locale. Then auto sense the input voltage of the source, and shwing.... I'd back that for sure :)

[@NoName-kx3of]

What an amazing device! The flexibility alone would get a buy form me. I have only a couple concerns. First, If I put this in a backpack, I can see that module switch getting caught up and bent. I also see the switch getting activated and enabling the output port. If there was anything conductive to bridge the connections, It could cause a fire (I'm sure you have safety measures in place, but still). I would recommend installing a smaller switch or recessing a micro switch in the bank a little bit (and just modify the bump in the module that activates it). Either that or making a cover plate to protect it. I will be keeping a close eye on the 3D printer project as well!

[@CraftClone1]

I am super hyped for that power bank! (Awesome design work btw)
