Teardown and review of Oupes Mega 1 LiFePo4 power station. Great power but poor efficiency.

Love your art, your channel, and you

[@RinoaL]

By the way, I hope by art you don't mean that demented shit Rick keeps storing in my workshop. lol My workshop is the leftover space between three different buildings so it gets used for storage by all the tenants. Kinda funny.

@@RinoaL Lol, no I am referring to the practice of your trade or whatever you call it, reminds me of an artist friend and her studio… guess yours could surf on the conceptual art category:)

[@RinoaL]

hah thanks

[@Flojoe6274]

Your videos help keep me sane. Just listening to your mind work...

[@musicwiz40]

Thank you for the detailed review, been looking at this unit himming and hawing for a while, also nice to see your girlfriend stepping in :) you two have awesome chemistry.

[@musicwiz40]

definitely going to pass on this one now.

[@RinoaL]

Glad you enjoyed the video! And I agree. Thais thinks she doesnt add anything to the videos when we are filming. I like having her in the videos but she’s like “It won’t be a classic rinoa video if Im in it though” but every so often when she’s editing she will take her headphones off and be like “Ok im glad I was in this video” lol It really helps with the flow and storytelling tbh, also just the basic physics of filming. I filmed about 400 videos just by myself and thats enough. Having somebody like Bill from the 1925 house or Thais takes it a lot further.

@RinoaL I couldn't agree more. An absolutely valuable asset! I've been watching your videos for a long time now, since you started charging electric bikes from old recycled car batteries. Or maybe even before then and I think you two working as a team adds a lot to the videos. Love your content as always, a quiet fan - cody

I am a member of the repair cafe network, and I know they are campaigning worldwide for the right to repair which would outlaw the practice of sticker placement to hide the screws, or the use of security screws, I was volunteering at our local cafe saturday and we had 3 items that could not be repaired due to security screws, one had screws that were designed never to be undone, slotted screws where the slots had ramps on the reverse side to actively prevent them being undone. you know it is deliberate policy when 2 out of 6 screws are security screws.

[@RinoaL]

Id never heard of a repair cafe before. Sounds cool

RInoa if anyone can make this battery more efficient, it's you. I still have the paper you wrote on 18650 cells.

[@darrylhudsonhudson]

you are far worst than I am I love to read books and playing video games and getting my chores done you are one heck of a lady who love to take things apart and fix them who have the time for that/I can't do your job and do youtube videos at the same time-Damn your rock it for real-DLH

[@RinoaL]

At the moment I'm wearing myself thin doing this, and will probably binge a few video games. haha Sadly reading has kinda been ruined for me since I normally spend about two hours a day reading scientific stuff or technical books. It's kinda ruined reading for me, and I should stop myself from feeling I have to study for the next projects.

[@tyitb6003]

I would build some type box to prevent dust getting in the power station

[@vonvonx4838]

You can build a wooden step to the door insted of concrete block 🔨😄

[@RinoaL]

Actually I figure I will use my excess bricks and blocks for masonry steps eventually.

[@Progrocker70]

Toaster ovens cords should be 14 or even 12 gauge. My toaster oven is 1800 watts, or 15 amps! Most standard appliance cords are only 16 or 18 gauge which can only handle about 7-10 amps.

[@RinoaL]

I can't stand how thin they make them.

[@powerwall]

review our product

[@RinoaL]

I like reviewing products, after doing reviews I've been forwarding a lot of this stuff on to local people wanting to get into off-grid stuff. Just send me an email if you'd like to collaborate.

Egs002 inverter board + zx7-400 amorphous transformer is HIGHEST EFFICIENCY and lowest cost. I think it would work well and make 240v easy, add a center tap for 120x2 And also a amorphous toroid with a couple turns. But if it were an all on 1 board deal, it would beat every commercial inverter at every category.

[@TheJustin574]

That idle power waste is unacceptable.
