Hi there, welcome to my channel. I have been a mechanic for over a decade. In my time I have worked on everything from smart cars to dump trucks. I also love a good project. I am always trying to take what I know as a mechanic and apply it to my own unique projects. I want to use this channel to share those projects as well as what I have learned as a mechanic over the years. I hope you find something here that educates or entertains you. Or maybe both.
Cheers!
Cheers!

How long does it take ?
There's lots of variations that make it hard to say exactly. For a 4 cylinder engine like what's shown in the video, a belt replacement could take around 30 - 45 minutes. Cheers!
Hello, I started to follow your work. I would have a question, I would be very grateful if you could help me if you have information on the subject. Do you have any information about the gel chemical added when the internal resistance (amperage values) of gel batteries weakens? I am writing from turkey. A person in our country claims a lot in our country, I made this gel, no one knows this gel chemical. Do you have any information about gel electrolyte chemical? thanks
Hi there @sevkiterzi9184 great to hear from you. I'm glad you've been enjoying my videos. I have done some work with gel electrolytes mostly baised around readily accessible biopolymers. I have a video on my channel where I make a biopolymer gel electrolyte out of cornstarch, and in my course hosted on Udemy I make a version baised off of gelatin. There's other videos on TH-cam that claim to have created a special gel electrolyte, but they don't share their formula so unfortunately I haven't ever been able to verify their results. There are other ways of doing gel electrolytes using super absorbant polymers which are pretty straight forward as well. Hope this information helps.
What a solid guy
Hello, first of all, I just discovered your videos. I am writing from Turkey. There is a gentleman in the market, he says on TH-cam, I made battery gel, which no one knows, only I know its production and formula. He claims that no one can reach the formula and that no one knows how to make battery gel. I want to ask you this, do you have a video on making battery gel or is it an unattainable formula as this person said?
Cool video! Ive gotten a lot of good info from you and your battery development. I started working on my first battery design in highschool a few months before your part one vid, so that was great timing.Just one question, which I don't know how many people you've had squawk about this, but do you think maybe you ended up making an aluminum ion battery instead?Aluminum air batteries arent rechargeable, at least not to the capacity yours shows. I've built 3 versions over the past couple years and they didnt recharge (I didnt understand at the time that there was aluminum ion and aluminum air until I made version 2) On the other hand, the liquid youre using has stuff in it that are highly similar to the electrolyte used for the Al-ion batteries, which as far as my research has gone, only seems to differ from Al-air batteries in its electrolyte (in a basic comparison), hence why Im asking this seeing that your battery recharged
Hi there @CAMARO54-jk6jb Thanks for the comment. Great to hear you've been enjoying my videos. I have wondered the same thing. However because the charge dissipated quite quickly I thought perhaps the cell was behaving like a capacitor instead of an ion battery. Unfortunately I don't have any way of proving or testing that hypothesis right now. Sorry I can't give you more information. Thanks for asking the question though. Maybe that's something you'll be able to find out before me.
Well I’ll be happy to let you know how the experiments and testing goes with my next batch.
@CAMARO54-jk6jb absolutely! I love to hear the work others are up to. Good luck :)
Burning something inside the house on a wooden desk? Seems like something i would do, just without the intelligent sounding lingo
Hahaha!!! This little bit of fire would be too tame for you. Go big or go home! Am I right!!!
Ha, that looks like an interesting channel. Only somewhat over 4k subs. I support you 💪🏻❤
@@vigi86 would recommend
@guythat779 yeah, he does pretty cool stuff 😁
Thanks guys :) I'm glad you're enjoying my content! It's people like you that keep this channel going! Appreciate the support.
That's cool
:)
So did you just essentially decrease the internal resistance?
Initially I thought that I had. However I found out TiO2 actually increased the resistance. Since I did this experiment I've read up on transient metal oxides and I suspect that whatever is happening here has to do with the reduction reaction on the cathode. Unfortunately that's where my knowledge ends. I'm not sure of the exact way it is doing that.
@MechanicGoneRogue wow, well I'm so lost in the sauce i don't remember all the parts Maybe you could do a recap video on the design so far and what it does? But anyhow i can't begin to guess off the top of my head what reaction is happening I would've guessed maybe it's acting like some pseudo semiconductor
@guythat779 yah the project has been going on for quite some time lol. I've got some more shorts and 1 more long form video I wanna make....then hopefully I can do a recap or something like that.
@MechanicGoneRogue looking forward to it, would love to get back on the same page as you Idk how much you realise that while you're grinding to optimise your battery the rest of us plebs were not thinking about it so keeping track and connecting the images in my head has been challenging specially towards the last third let's say of the project
Haha I'm fairly aware of it. I would really like for this battery to put out some usable power, but to do that I need to stray farther from the realm of DIY and into actual research. The last third of the project has been more like that for sure. Glad to hear a third parties perspective though. I'll try not to move too quickly.
Cool! How much power does it usually give at a time?
Admittedly, I didn't do any testing to measure watt hours on this cell. The main focus was to see if I could even get a bioplastic to work as an electrolyte.
@@MechanicGoneRogue I see
Making mistakes is how we all learn, so make mistakes, and try to do better next time! Good luck!
So true .... I always say that mistakes is just me figuring out ways that don't work now so I don't do them in the future!
I'v always wanted to buy a 3D printer!
Hey didn't expect to see you here!!! What a nice surprise. You totally should they are a lot of fun!
@@MechanicGoneRogue ya agreed, I'm not sure how I stumbled on your channel but you have good content! Keep it up.
Likewise. Your projects are a little more ambitious than mine though. Nice work!
Great video, love the thumbnail 😆
Hahaha. Glad you liked it!
I seriously think you can call yourself an experimental scientist, this is real science down to the research I'm glad to have watched you blossom into a niche gold mine in real time When you make it big don't forget me your biggest fan! (I won't get delusionally attached in a parasocial way i swear but this is a genuine happy moment for me)
I like your confidence. "If" I make it big I'll be sure to give you a shout out. There are very few people who have followed me from the beginning, and you're one of them. Really appreciate the support. Btw I'm working on a part two for this....I made it better hehehe.
@@MechanicGoneRogue hell yeah
Great topic For many the hardest most daunting step is starting
That's what scared me the most too!
Hell yeah Finally an upload in a time I'm not fighting for my life Still intense but good stuff, time to watch this on the train
Hell Yeah!!! although had I known I would have made a longer one. 6 minutes is barely anything for a train ride lol.
@MechanicGoneRogue haha yeah, but nah do as you please bruv I love your "exactly as long as i need to, no more no less" vibe
First
😉
How do you increase the batteries capacity
Dude. Acetone styrofoam or plastic made into a liquid mix with graphene. Graphene can be doped with silver powder. It’s not easy but I take my powder graphene and silver powder and using a ceramic cup I torch the cup red hot. The silver and graphene are stored together. Silver gets in pores graphene. This enhances conductivity
3d print a 3d printer 👌
haha that seems to be what most people here are thinking of doing!
Is it possible for a 3D printer to print a 3D printer?
Maybe not the electronics side, but I'm sure lots of the body parts could be 3d printed!
Amazing content. Which 3D printer is it and how much did it cost?
Ender 3, and off the top off my head like $150.
@217Kapil fuzzysnake is right it's an Ender 3. I bought it off of Amazon about 3 years ago for approximately 200$ CAD.
Dude, 3d print 3d printers and make some money
Did you know that Prusa actually 3D prints 40% of their 3D printers components?
The idea has crossed my mind. I need to improve my electronics knowledge first though!
I like 3D printers (subbed)
Same
That's awesome!!! Thanks guys.
Your permagnate cathode worked best due to some residual KOH on the cathode, A result of the reduction of KMnO4 on the graphite, hence the 1.2V. Your more recent video using KOH backs this up. those graphite sheets dont breathe much air though, and lack surface area to support the ORR well. thats holding you back from getting more current. Good Luck!
I hadn't considered that I was making some KOH during this process, but that would explain why sometimes I get an inconsistent reading with the treated graphite sheets. Do you know of any additional resources that talk about this process? It would be helpful to reference for future experiments. Thanks for the comment!
Use ABS filament in your 3d printer. its decently resistant to KOH, where as PLA readily dissolves. Seal with an epoxy, use some marine stuff reasonable working time. Ive been working on metal air batterys now for 10 years . Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks sharing you experience on this. I have been looking closer into KOH's reaction with various plastics and came up with the same conclusion you did. I haven't made a video on this yet, but I found that coating PLA components in an ABS/acetone liquid and then letting that harden provides a decent level of protection. What did you think about my latest video on making cathodes?
I love the energy from this guy.
It's only because I have followers like you! 😊
Throw that sponge out
But I've gotta get max value out of it 😏
you should look into starlite recipe guesses where carbon compounds like PVA glue corn starch sugar ect are doped with a flux compound (at least some use it as flux like for smelting aluminum ect) of borax or boric acid ect, to keep it all from heavily oxidizing into gas (CO2) though they tend to add baking soda or something else that will release CO2 with out having external oxygen needed for a foaming method to exfoliate it to allow it to become a graphite based foam insulation to protect internal items, BUT in your case maybe switching to something else to avoid this process and all while maybe allowing the components to remain inside the graphite structure on burning or heating and evaporating off the hydrogen and oxygen ect in the carbon donors might be capable of being your needed remaining or injected components to facilitate the catalytic action on the aluminum Right now I am working on ways to undo this oxidation and have succeeded with red iron oxide being reduced back to pure iron metal bonded to the base it was done on using a 405nm UV laser of 500mW power level, and reducing white powdered TiO2 into the black and brown crystals of TiO2 and Ti2O3, so a method to pull the oxygen away via electrostatic charges is next on my testing list to attempt depositing much harder to deposit without interaction (oxygen based) of Ti and Al like you are using in the aluminum batteries :)
I had to read up on starlite before responding. It's an approach I hadn't thought of previously, but it could have potential. I'll have to play around with it in the near future! Thank you for sharing you're experience with this! Cheers!
Looks handy
Hi Chris👋
Well, this is a surprise! Hi 👋..... starting to dabble in some chemistry, are we!
@@MechanicGoneRogue nope just wanted to say hi😂
@@cassandra2088 😊
Is 1.3 V... decent? What's a baseline average for something like that?
1.3V is pretty standard for a KOH electrolyte. If you have time, check out the long form video this short is based on. It gives more context. The main focus here is that I was able to maintain good output while using a gel electrolyte instead of conventional liquid electrolyte.
How may i reach out sir ???i really need to speak to u abt al air ... let me know how to have a conversation
Yes of course. I have an email in my channel description which you can use. Talk soon :)
Nice!
😊
an hour ? laughs in resin print
Lol yah! Probably would have turned out smoother though!
I’ve customized so many things to print with mine. I have zero CAD education.
Me neither! It's amazing what you can learn if you spend the time on it!
Was your friend Australian
No lol, but he collects stuff from all over the world!
That Print quality tough 🤮
Yah I know 😬 I was experimenting with printing the center part with no supports. Didn't think it was so noticeable on camera.
@@MechanicGoneRogue the idea is great and I like the design. Print Quality can always be improved ^^
@florihae hahaha glad to hear :) yes you're absolutely right. If you stick around I've got more cool designs coming!
Wood. Get into it
Sanding is your friend.
First
😀
⬆️
I could eat it faster!
Some kid is gonna pour this down his sink after making it I swear
Well as long as the plumbing is PVC it'll (probably) be fine
Its what the plants crave
Bottoms up 🆙 😋
Even tens of grams of Alu need hundreds of liters of air. Or in moles, 27 g Alu needs 24 g of oxygen. Then, a cell mass doubles. Which is not good either to compete with something to lifepo.
When in doubt, use panini press
Exactly.....what's the worst that can happen! 😅
how do you always find my most intense filled moments to upload never are unwelcome, i need the smile sometimes
Hahaha, well, you must have many intense moments. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the comment. It's great to know you're still around.
@MechanicGoneRogue Always am And yeah life this past year has been quite the fable of intensity and just biblical moments of how odd things go But my love for this project of yours and just generally seeing the you're still personally going at it has been a constant
@@guythat779 That's awesome to hear. Seriously though, making these videos isn't always easy. Definitely good to know some people appreciate them! I hope you're able to pull through this challenging patch and things get better for you.
@MechanicGoneRogue ofc i appreciate them, they enforce what i stand for "The hardest part about science is getting over how intimidating it sounds" for the purpose of just doing something cool, make an air battery with "household" items And things are fine rn, just spent a day with someone i thought I completely lost forever, and on the science frontier an old but essential project of mine is bearing fruit! Unexplainable but very cool fruit So im alright
Hi, other than teflon, another binder that is commonly used in electrodes is PVDF. Carbon black is also sometimes mixed into the cathode slurry.
Hi again @pixlrainbow. Great as always to hear from you. PVDF looks like it has alot of promise for this application. It's melting point is alot lower than Teflon. Have you ever working with it yourself? Any pointers you could give?
@@MechanicGoneRogue I have not personally worked with it, but I have seen it referenced a lot in various research papers. Some use a heat press or hot roller directly on dry cathode powder without solvent, others use NMP solvent without a heat press and simply paint the cathode slurry onto current collectors and leave it to dry (with hot plate assistance). In this video you used PTFE with a solvent and active material to form a wet slurry and heat pressed it, however I have also observed PTFE being mixed with just water and then added in very small amounts to active material powder to form a dough-like cathode paste that is simply rolled out and left to dry.
Carbon black is very conductive but graphene blows it out of the water and is easy to make.
