Solar Powered Crypto Mining (S9i)
Power is expensive, so I decided to use some extra panels to power a crypto miner to provide a small passive income.

I love this
TY, many more (less intrusive efficiency upgrades coming soon!
Have you tried to convert air to air mini split to water to water?
Yep, just haven't been able to film for a bit, hopefully will be able soon
What about the e-bike video?
Haven't been able to film for a bit, haven't been idle tho. Currently finished with 15~working prototypes ranging from a jet scooter build to a full body climate control system. Ebike will be soon, but I'm still saving up for a 12kw controller for it.

What’s the background music
Genevieve by Gregory Dillon, he's a smaller EDM artist I believe.
Id be more concerned with venting out that led acid battery lol
Yeah, I got rid of all my lead batteries, many got puffed large like a balloon from my early DIY EV overvolting days. And by many I mean all, including some car batteries. I much prefer the thermal runaway of a lithium vs hot sulf acid and lead bits leaking out of my pack.
Lame review.. Vevor would be embarrassed by you..
Fair, vevor quality is mid-tier imo
Hi try lower voltage see how that works
Destruction!
Don't worry, I Edited the table back together in post
You realize that you just made a really expensive geothermal system, right? You’re using the municipal water supply as your ground water loops effectively taking advantage of the miles of buried plumbing leading to this room.
Expensive for me, no. but yes you're right, I also thought about using a car radiator+fan and no heat pump for large scale cooling, just a few degrees.
It Works without battery?
Yep bad efficiency tho, MPPT would help a lot, in addition to an inverter based heat pump with a soft start
Helpful. Thank you.

Can I add flash powder instead of black powfer
No.
In the shell? Yes! As Lift-Charge? Better not!
I am trying to learn how to do this what solar panel to buy what you know looks impressive but for safety sake or to look more impressive cut off the clamps and put the right connector ends on your cables .. Man i would love to help me for a day shopping and putting a system together..
you got this, start small. Any size solar panel will work, buy used or a 100w kit/panel from a reputable supplier like eco worthy, Bouge rv, Dokio or any big box brand like Kyocera ,LG, maxeon (unsponsored), i highly recommend buying a used cheap one and mess with it.
How does the fuse of the shell get lit?
From the lift-charge that he did put underneath the ball.
Will need a lot more panels
Oh yes, I've got around 9 kw installed currently. Small setup was just for proof of concept.
Fantastic i wanted to do this offgrid and it can be done cheers
yep it can, tricky to scale though. I'm up to 9 kw of panels installed now, lol
Man, I had this idea 8 years ago, but nobody believed it could work, so 16 year old me had no way to make enough money to get it up and running. It's strangely cathartic to see you make this setup.
it's hard to scale, very expensive. I'm up to 9 kw of installed used panels and converting it all to 12v is way out of budget, for now it goes to the grid ties and batteries
@ianbuilder Still, reduced overhead is more money in your pocket that you can put towards reinvesting in the project, or others!
love it
Its coming together, good job really! What does bitcoin go for these days per kwh?
oh almost nothing, though if power is free, it makes/made a ton of sense to invest for me at the time
Great to see you uploading again!
The video before this was peak.
The replacement battery I got for the one in that vid failed saggy a week ago smh
The Edge Company catalog 'SRT ballistic baton with grappling hook and flight tube'.... 1900s Edge company was similar to atlanta cutlery or budk with an additional focus on executive toys and spy gadgets. This item was a mod to get around an import band on some Comm Bloc surplus ballistic knives they got a hold of. They ditched the blades And had 2 new heads machined (bludgeon knob & grapple), then marketed them as a law enforcement and search& rescue tool. The whole package with both heads was well over $200 as I recall. As for the sketcy loading, the original knives could be hand loaded but also had a bench tool that worked like a crossbow spanner, that was never offered. Someone on the now defunct Shinza knife forum built a replica tool They are super obscure and almost imposable to find info on. Yours is only the 3rd or 4th Ive even seen pics of in the wild... Shame you said you trashed it.
Don't worry, I know quality/ value when I see it. I sold it on eBay, sadly for probably too little, around 230$ - ebays 40$ existence fee rip
fucking genius. been looking for a stupid simple design. never thought to use skate wheel. thanks man
My mans got his diagram and terminology so messed up
lmao fr?

Did you ever use the hot side to heat your pool?
vid coming soon dw
@@ianbuilder HELL YEAH!
Can you make this a heat pump?
yes
I have a high pressure oxygen concentrator I wonder what we could do with that?
fill o2 bottles
Very much I did a thing vibes haha
9:39 been a year, did you abandon the split unit project? Or something to look forward to next summer?
Never quit, just haven't been able to film, currently have working prototypes of an on body cooling solution, heat pump for winter, efficiency upgrades for window units and, a palm sized unit+tons more
Use copper a slightly larger evap coil and a stronger fan. You don't want it to ice over but instead sweat
and you plug the inverter into a wall socket?
I think that means it is bypassing the breaker. Maybe tie in on the mains in the breaker box so the breakers can do its job. Example load to the breaker is at its maximum to protect the wire. About to trip. You (Say add 8 more amps to the line) Now you have a hot wire. The breaker only see's what is going through it. Not what the wire is caring. House gone up in smoke. I maybe be wrong but.
i have a portable a/c and it also takes in the condensate and trickles it over the condenser to keep it cooler on hot and humid days, definitely an electricity difference
mine is like two times just after i turn it on
yep but then the high side gets filled, and low side evacuated causing the compressor to really work
The flame in this video went out much quicker than in the other one.
0:20, SO YOU DIDNT MAKE A SALUTE?
Did it take forever to be shipped
yea
The idea is great but this method has room for improvement due to its inefficient water use. I am thinking of getting those roof sprinklers for wildfire protection. You turn them on for 3-5 minutes every hour or two and that'll cool your house down and minimize water use. Also, how are your feet not burning?
Stone Age feet upgrade + thermodynamic immunity, aka porous wood no hold or conduct thermal energies well
Man you are brave for going bare foot on that hot roof
It was hot but held little thermal energy and didn't conduct well, whereas my walking instruments have large thermal capacity and active cooling via the 2ml of blood passing through
I love this i wonder if i can do this with a countertop ice maker.
yes i made one
I just realized this, but people up north who use well water could just use cold cold well water (50 degrees) and get insane results.
Is this supposed to be funny?
don't worry, i film only at large institutions
Mis-spelling "baloons" in this title makes this video so hard to find in my youtube history or with any sort of youtube search. Every time the topic of methane as a lifting gas comes up in discussion I end up spending literally 10+ minutes scrolling through my history video by video trying to find it. It's only after I find it again and know the search for "baloons" I can find the copy already saved to my local computer. Insidious.
balons
So cool !! 💪🏽
I been wanting to this. On my 1000watt geared hub motor
idk much about gears but they might strip if overvolted
Same for 3 inch ball shells?
if you got guts
Would it work, if you just place the condenser in a container, then used a pump to pump the water around, with tubing??
yep
@@ianbuilder What if you used a coaxial tube heat exchanger coil as condenser on a portable a/c, & used a radiator to watercool it
like a mini split but hot refrig---> heat exc--->water->-tubes-> radiator---->air? that would work.
I want to add on a plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger to an air conditioner. I already have a hot water tank I heat with solar, but the bottom of the tank is plenty cold. I am not an A/C technician, but I know there are special requirements for the circuit, as well as when you fill it. Would adding on a plate heat exchanger to a split air conditioner be possible, reliable and work in the long term also? I just don't know enough about how such a plate heat exchanger would work with hot refrigerant liquid. Would it suffer galvanic corrosion, or other corrosion, oxidation or issues? While making the air conditioner more efficient, just like in your video, I will also use the extracted heat to augment the solar thermal heat.
check my other video, i did exactly this
