I recently found a cool dc voltage booster on the net and used one of my rechargable AA batteries to boost 1.2 volts dc to almost 5 volts.
Very cool. This would be great for boosting the current people get by way of earth batteries and tesla sun energy devices. You could also use it to boost one of those cheap little solar cells from radioshack.
Watch the video for more info.
Imagine if you are using an earth battery and getting 1.2 to 1.5 volts dc you could use this little electric guy to boost that current to 5 volts dc.
You could also run these in series or parallel to increase your volts or your amps.
Somthing for nothing? Maybe.
I emailed the desinger for this little gadget and he was able to make one for me cheaper then the normal project as it uses less parts. I didnt need the tin and battery holder, etc.
I bought this on ebay for $15 dollars as my wife and daughter are going to be heading to wheatland for the yearly event which happens to be out in the country without any grid power. After seeing this and trying it I realize what a great buy this is. I mean really.
Hell, it would cost more then the 15 dollars that I paid for this just to replace the batteries in a regular light just once!
It also comes with a cell phone and iPod charger as well as the cord, an am/fm radio
16 bright white LEDS power the light off this and they are bright.
If you guys need something even if just for an emergency pick up one of these. You never have to worry about it working or not and in an emergency…..Heck, throw one in your wifes car just in case of that flat tire or car trouble in the middle of the night.
Here is a very nice addition to the renewable energy projects. Its a cheap (under $10 at CVS pharmacy) very bright flash light and AM/FM radio.
To use this simply crank the handle a couple of time and you have up to 30 minutes to use the light or listen to the radio. Need more time? Just crank it a couple of more times and get all the power you need.
This is great for emergencies and its always available unlike its now old ‘traditional’ flashlight.
Think the light is not bright enough? You better think again. The ultra bright white LEDS are like nothing I have ever seen in any flashlight, much less a traditional flashlight.
Once I tried it for the first time I can tell you that I will NEVER use another flashlight again unless its crank powered.
Here are some pics of it. They are rather large.
Take this ANYWHERE with you. Put it in your car, motorhome, or just in the kitchen drawer in case of the power outages that often happen during storms.
You will spend more then the cost of this (under 10 bucks) then you would to buy just one battery to replace the dead ones that are in your current flashlight.
Need a free energy generator that can power almost anything?
Check this hack out! Using adapters you can charge and use this free energy for anything including your cell phone.
I put the Amatek beside the Wind Blue Alternator for this video. In the video it looks like the alternator will out perform the Amatek however in all fairness the Amatek is only using 3 blades which makes it take more wind then the Alternator with 6 blades. The more blades the easier its starts to spin in lower winds. (at least here @ my location)
The Amatek was quickly taken down after this video as there was no way this small thin tower would be able to handle the stress from the wind today.
Yesterday we had some very high winds here and there were several times when it looked like the inch and quarter pipe that I was using as a tower was going to snap in half or bend.
Due to the fact that other homes are so close to mine I do not want to risk this so….I burried an old 4×4 into the ground beside the pipe to use for the base of the tower. I will then be able to mount a pole or pipe to the 4×4.
This I believe will be more stable and may prevent my wind generator from crashing to the ground and causing damage.
