Tinning material:
s.click.aliexp...
Small solar panel for your projects:
s.click.aliexp...
Note:
Ferric chloride is not available for international shipping.
You can make the silicone by adding solvent with pure silicone powder.
Maximum current 20mA.
After few hours the cell stopped working.
It may be due to impurities in solvent or silicon powder.
Solution used to etch the copper was Ferric Chloride. (FeCl3)
One table spoon in half litre of water and shake 10 minutes
with the board in it.
Be careful with any chemical.
Don't throw the waste in drainage.
*Try at your own risk.
Find the copper Board here at cheap price. I got 5 pieces for cheap s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mqCrWEI
Marker pen buy one get one s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oEdFI1I
Does it actually work and if yes how?
Where from coper board and other items get
would it be more efficient if the pattern was tighter?
It was a rousing good solar panel but you achieved greatness when I couldn't even tear my eyes away from your drawing of the straight lines without a ruler.
😂😂💔
His hand is sliding down the straight edge of the board. Isn't this obvious? It was to me.
That's how drywallers do it....amongst other tradesmen
Before learning how to make a solar panel at home, we all have to learn from this guy that how to draw straight lines without using ruler. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂😂 🤣
He uses his fingers as a guide along the edges of the copper

Lol
Your freehand drawing ability is absolutely amazing!
Look on the supporting fingers on the corner of plate,you can do it too dear.

95% drawing perfect straight lines without ruler.
5% about the main topic
Exactly
Hahahah strict teacher
Main topic
@@DBT1007😂
Yes 😂
Thank you. This is amazing knowledge you just shared with over a million people who will pass it on to others.
Thats the job a school is supposed to do
he didnt explain anything
@@PinkeySuavo You need intelligence to understand just by watching.
@@jimmatrix7244 Still there's literally no knowledge. It's just an algorithm on how to do a certain device. You won't know what are electrons, why he has done something in particular way. If someone has no knowledge in electronics, he will most likely don't know most of the stuff that's happening there.
Ignoring the fact that this isn't amazing device and you won't do anything practical with it.
@@PinkeySuavook
He's an artist yes. I don't think anyone can make lines with that kind of precision ☺️
thats an easy diy trick... he usses the ringfinger or pinky at the side of the plate to keep right distance to the pen tip
Ruler
If you look he's anchoring his finger nail against the edge of the work while holding the marker in another. This is known as scribing and is a common technique used in many trades
Not only he is using his other winger to guide it by the edge, he also has loads of lines/ scratches in that same direction which would help with guiding the marker to go in a straight line.
The truth is that i found this video helpful.
Thanks
His hands are more stable than my life
lol.... but that makes some viewer jealous
@@Lazydayyt 😂😂😂
Yes i can't even draw a single line with s ruler🤣🤣
Looks like magic for me to draw a straight line🤣🤣🤣
He use his finger as a guide old trick in woodworking
Lots of people talkin about how u drew those lines so straight, well Im here to solve that mystery friends...he used his ring or middle finger to stabilize his drawing path, the moment he lifts one of them that line will be as jagged as a politicians morality
🤣
Hello I'm afi from nagaland India and I liked this video
Thank you for this video love from India 🥰
How to draw straight line on that kind of board?
Simply hold the marker and place your small finger on the edge of the board, and TRAAAAAA! you are an expert drawing straight lines. I used to do that and it works :)
A solar cell have to work for more than a few hours, as you have specified in the description. You just have made a battery (electrochemical reaction activated by light). And almost 5 Volts seems a bit high.
That's exactly how solar cell works.
@@iAmDislikingEveryShort No.
@@iAmDislikingEveryShort no
@@iAmDislikingEveryShort 5 volts for a solar panel of that density seems way too high to me honestly.
@@iAmDislikingEveryShort No
I don't know if you'll get your money back on the project but the comments on your drawing abilities make it all worth it.😄
Yeah that was a pretty damn good line he drew
Prob cost a tenner too make so if can trickle charge a battery get your money back before long
Very impressive,I watched a video on 2008 this guy used burned copper plate ,was very tedious,but I totally forgot,the steps ,your video is very impressive,

If I’m not mistaken, that ferric chloride is the stuff a friend damn near got killed by his girlfriend in high school over. He spilled it on her brand new white sweater and I swear we didn’t see him for like 2 weeks after. His mom said he had mono, but we think he had a black eye and busted lip from her kicking his ass all the way home! LOL!
Damn!
This man can draw straight lines without a ruler.
He use other finger and the edge of pcb card as ruler
I have seen this after many year of its publishmnet and a lot of comment are telling that he is drawing line without ruler. Yess thats right but he he touching his little fingures to the side of the plate while drawing lines..
Beside great work u did for those who want to make theirself hand made panels...
When human being is genuine and his hands is stable than some people life.
Used the exact material used in readymade solar panels. I appreciate👏👏👏👏
Papai Karmakar Hello! :) so where can I find this paste arround and ferric chloride?
Plate banane mein aapne solar plate banane mein aapane kya kya cheez li hai Unka Naam bataen please
Uma célula fotoelétrica tem o mesmo princípio de um diodo. Um cristal de silício dopado com fósforo e boro, um em cada lado ao ser atingido pelos fótons movimenta os elétrons que circulam entre o doador e aceitador resultando em energia elétrica. Com condutores obtemos os polos negativos e positivos. Não vi nada disso no vídeo, o que faz pensar que não passa de um truque bem feito. Mas não podemos esquecer que podemos retirar energia de um limão, colocando barrinhas de zinco e cobre. O autor tem uma boa habilidade com as mãos. Parabéns.
¿Qué quieres decir?
You understand very well 👏👏
Okay, you showed us voltage, but how about current? How much power can it give?
i would guess 0.001 amps so 0.005 watts, pretty useless, he used more energy running the multimeter than was being generated
Its a scam bro 😂
This guy is the king at drawing straight lines 😮
We all should be asking "What is the Short - Circuit Current, in full sunlight"?? Because my feeling is simply that it will not drive a few LED's or small motor. The Output in full sunlight will be measured in just a few milliamps, so don't expect that this would power your off-grid lifestyle, or even charge batteries. Just my thoughts.......A great Science Project for those who want to experiment.
Because of your talent, I'm subscribed and inspired
Very cool , but if you look closely he uses his other fingers as guides along the edge of the panel to create the straight lines 😁
Need this type of practical knowledge to our future generations
Is it real???
On all the coments I see people are mostly talking about his steady hands
How long do they last?
How do you protect them from corrosion?
What is the purpose of the crystal silicone paste?
Good to see volts but I bet the current isn't enough to light a led.
Yeah, that is why he measures it in the beginning with a ruler so you can see how many volts per square foot can be produced. Sounds like your brain can’t even light up an LED.
@@Graeberwave dont be nasty.. I didnt see that bit.. my bad.
@@markkennard861 you could Bing it if you’re feeling nasty now
@@Graeberwave bing it ?
@@markkennard861 yea, Bing, Microsoft’s search engine

Thank you
Where do i get the crystal silicone paste from? I can't find any
Great, you proved the saying - practice makes man perfect. About the straight line with out using scale.
Wow! Those lines were so straight. That was what impressed me. Change the title to "How to draw perfect straight lines with a hangover every time."
Very inspiring. Thank you! My kids, Issy and Simon love it too:)
Hi, give me a link to the silicone powder because I can't find it and after that you could give a little more explanation but it was cool.
Had an old teacher that taught me how to build airplanes from scratch and he had these steady as f hands like this dude does was able to draw a straight line on just about any surface free handed.
I do not know which country he lives in, but I must say he is a talented guy!
what a straight lines you draw, awesome..
What is the purpose of dipping in ferric chloride?
The area with no lines ( bare copper) will be dissolved and we get pattern
Thanks
How much power can it delivered
Great Video! This is one of those projects I actually want to do. I will use a ruler though.
If you use a ruler it will leave uneven trails on the pad
@@Lazydayyt Thank you for letting me know that.
You can use a lifted stencil though. For example 3D printed, if you're still interested in the topic😊
That's interesting. What was the voltage? And how did it work? By which law or effect? I'd be pleased If you answer me.
Depends on if you believe Maxwell saying ElectroMagectic force or God saying let there be light but its a combo of that and Quantum mechanics with the material you use ansorbing certain EM/light better than the others and different materials storing that better than others
It's the Solar Photovoltaic effect. Basically Photons are absorbed and leave behind a electron that binds to a atom creating DC current.
Photons from the light hit free electrons in the tin, which then eject over into the positive side of the electrical circuit causing an electrical flow
Where can I buy that crystal silicone paste and how much it costs??
Your creativity is out of the question. Thank you. I liked your idea. I have a similar idea.
Thank you
Does this electric circuit,when it is equipped,absorb the suns rays by it self and can we charge the mobile phone from it?,please answer my question
"After a few hours the cell stopped working. So don't try to make it." It is stated in the video description
Why did it stop?
@@Kopie0830 Not sure but it says this in the video description.
@@audioacrylix5005 Gee, I know that captain obvious. I'm asking for an explanation why it stops after a few hours and not longer like what the cause of it stopping.
Don't Know Good Luck :)
@@Kopie0830 Gee, he doesn't know.
You dont have to bitch about it.

Me: "Honey, do you know where I left the crystal silicone paste?"
🤣🤣🤣
nice joke
Correct
😅
what was it used actualy?
rather than that
that crystal silicone paste
Title : how to make solar panel
Video : how to draw straight lines without ruler
Lol 😂😂 🤣
Lol
you have to do practice with the last three fingers to hold the panel to maitaime same space.
😂😂 🤣
Finger as a stencil or guideline..... I must be the Second smartest humanoid alive.
@@comeatme1981 lol
Can this store energy?? That can last for hours??
More lines make more power yes?
what is the efficiency for this diy product ? does it reach 15% at least ? im interested
15% is commercial level efficiency....
You should be happy with 1-5% at most with something like this...
Who reading comment may your parents live 100 year and I'm small youtuber here
Explain how does this work
This created 20mah which is kinda not terrible. If you could fit more rows on it that would increase that right? Or would it increase voltage?
The producer should add how much electricity it produced and how long the device had the ability to power.
Hey man, Great and informative Video. I want to make a solar panel for my TH-cam Channel as well and have some questions. (I'll give you credit of course). The crystal silicone paste you use, can I use normal silicone? Or does it need to be the paste? If so do you know where I can get it? Also I see you measured off a 4inch/2.5inch copper plate. Is there any limitations to the size of the copper plate can be? Or can I make a super long one? That would probably produce a larger voltage? And how long did you place the copper in the ferric chloride solution?
It is Silicon paste not regular Silicone. I bought it from ebay few years ago before pandemic but now the seller is no longer available. The size of the plate does not matter. It's the surface area and arrangement. 10 min of shaking is enough for etching process.
@@Lazydayyt can you explain what the readings mean on the thing that read the voltage? It was set to 20v but read 4.6? What exactly does that mean, how much power can you get from that?
@@BestRedditStoriesAround how much power you get will depend on how many amps it produces
Only knowing how many volts won't let us determine how many amps it is, but it probably isn't a lot in this application. Still, the ability and knowledge of how to make one is very valuable information and the process can always be refined; smaller bars (Idk what they are called but those alternating silver and copper bars) would help produce more electricity, along with more space
@@justryingmybest ty
Like the copper oxide solar cell this is not a true solar cell - it is a solar activated battery - that's why it stops after a few hours - sorry
I think this cell acted as more of a copper/zinc battery lol. The life of this will be very limited. Nice build though, and amazing lines!
You are correct, your comment saved me
I have a question. If you make a larger panel the more watts it will make?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
Yes
More space, more sunlight
And more electricity
Veri interesting. Where do you find all the materials such as Ferri Clhoride snd the paste etc? Thank you fir the video
Dude you’re a pro at drawing perfect lines
His hands are more stable then actual Dr. Stranger thats why he is capable to draw straight lines without help of any scale.....
Exactly same I had thought
Yeah maan
If you rest the pen on your fingers and run one of your fingers along the side of the PCB, you get straight lines.
@@gamingenius yeah maybe you r right but my hands are like after the accident of Dr strange, they will staggered at some point....
he use side of board by his finger to use as marking..i'm always use that technic and it works.
How long does the solar panel last?
5volt from that is impossible due to difference voltage due to materials, if will be so great when company's don't produce that cels?
It produce this energy at what of time ?!
For all of you that are so amazed at drawing lines straight...it's simple. Woodworkers do it all the time. Hold marker firm with thumb and index finger, keeping next finger along the edge as you move marker towards you. See @ 0:26.
Great caught, I got it
:)
You keep your fingers on the edge of the piece that you are working with and hold the pencil tightly to create a straight line. Basic construction
This guy just didnt know how to show everyone how straight he can make the lines, so he made this video.
👊
@@Lazydayyt Clapping
lols...are u idiot....dont watch it dumb...we came here to learn
@@toshiroitsugaya6945 r/woosh
David Raviczki bruh how did we know it was a joke
Are really those only hands or a device that is super steady
Google says I need to make a chip out of the crystal paste so I ask you instead can I use caulking for this or does that mess it up ?
What is the principle behind selecting the materials you have chosen thanks
That is what I wondered when I was watching as well. I wish the steps were explained in detail rather then a companied annoying music
close to 5V already - must try this at home!!!
Did you try it
What Will be the result ?
Just because its 5 v does not imply that it it powerful
so it works
It would be expensive building large panels this way, but you wouldn't have to worry about shattering like the glass ones can.
Panels are quite resilient actually.
It takes quite a bit of force to destroy one, especially if you get quality not cheapest from china.
@Platys Platys even the Chinese panels are getting pretty good.
Do you no about the mechanism of a solar cell or how it work..?
Can we use any other paste apart from.silicon paste...
Or could u send me any link...for this paste pls
I KNOW WITH FULL MY INTEREST AND DEDICATION I CAN MAKE PANEL
BUT HOW CAN I DRAW THOSE STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT RULER ......STILL THINKING
Practice makes man perfect.
Very interesting and educative,,, thank lots brother.....
Can you please send the link of the material used
We used this method to make circuit boards. Acid eats away the copper not coated with the acid resistance pen.
Ok that is producing energy but does it store energy? I am sure not. How do you store it?
connect ups to it?
LOL, the rubber glove thing was funny! 😁 Nice video.👍
Jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem 👍👍👍
Cześć
Did you even try it
wow,very useful and very helpful,thank you for your knowledge👍🏼😁
Bu
Yes it's almost 5 v but plz tell how about amps ??? Plz reply 🙏
I want to know it's efficiency. Please tell
Vi que muitos falaram da sua técnica em fazer linhas retas, se prestarem atenção você apoia os dedos mínimo, anelar e médio na placa de fenolite como referência, isso muitos marçeneiros usam.
Funciona! Obrigado
Very good, I already signed up! What kind of solvent and what kind of silicone did you use? Please!
he has a built in ruler in his hands
Tinning means consa tin wire ya solution wire jise sloder ma use karte he
Good morning. Please, how do I make a solar panel that can generate 1000w?
Better is to buy
Wow.. the video.. the line ruling.. the project.. this might be the best vid around. Great Job, I'm following you man
He's using his mid finger to help draw straight lines, watch his mid finger
De l'OM
I came here to watch "How to make Solar Panel", but know it's your responsibility to teach us "How to draw straight lines without ruler".
Hey were did you get your silicon paste silicon paste is not a normal household item
is that a possible to make bigger panel to have higher Volts?
What was the concentration of ferric chloride you have used for how long time the reaction and what chemical reaction is going on with that and how long it will stay good while keeping under the sun light I mean the life length of the plate...
Is ferric chloride dangerous to skin contact?
@@sakthivelg2192 Yes its danger because it causes skin problems and also it may leads to burning with water. I did experiments with that.
What if I don't have crystal silicone paste, what is the alternative that can I use
it's better to buy solar cell than costly silicone
@@Lazydayyt and i with that....a small solar panel it cost around $1.20
try graphit mix with grease... regular grease not for platict grease.... graphit you can get on pencil and make it to be dust
