  • Want a better experience watching media on your smartphone? This DIY build should be right up your street! In this one we'll be building on the previous portable monitor project and designing a battery system and speakers for it to transform it into a high quality wifi TV!

    BATTERY METER CALIBRATION:
    The bottom variable resistor sets the high voltage point (or 'full charge' voltage), so set this first when batteries fully charged; clockwise lower voltage, anticlockwise higher voltage.
    The top variable resistor (near the button) sets how broad the range is, so set this afterwards to get the low voltage point at low low battery power, anticlockwise lower, clockwise higher. Low voltage should be about 10v when the batteries have no load connected.
    The clips playing on the screen were from the trailers for Planet Earth 2 and Assassin's Creed.

      John D A --- You are not even going to get a china one to work for a year with the price he paid to make this yes time is something to consider but even the cheapest ones online are $150 most decent ones are running $200, Now I will say he did do that custom board which he actually did the more expensive way but hey who am I at least he got it done. All I can think about when I see people post things like what you just said is how Dr. Dre had a max cost of $14 a head phone yet they where being sold for hundreds. I learned really quick how to make my own head phone out of old ones and heat shrink. Shoot I remember getting some broke high end head phone and replaced one speaker and made and extra 70 dollars because people wanted to pay that much or else they thought it was a rip off not knowing all along it was a rip off from the brand that they needed to worry about and I did test them yes they held up to all outputs before I sold them. even a bread box and making your own circt boards become a big money saver!! you can reuse those tools and save yourself money

      Yes that filter seemed extremely primitive to me. The result is what matters guess. And in the end a lot can be done diferently, better but sometimes would go beyond simple diying. I recall hearing on a forum that I neeed a 10K Ohm logarithmic potentiometer for audio input attenuation rather than a 500ohm linear one for ideal control, to avoid the immediate jump in sound levels as well. They said it had to do with audio levels being logarithmically scaled. So the higher voltage would raise volume too fast compared to a logarithmic one (it uses the bottom part of a logarithmic graph to more slowly raise power levels, of course after that the log pot will raise levels faster than a linear one).

      @@vikkidyer hey it’s been a while since I made it so, it’s hard to remember what I changed without watching the video again.
      I think it might have been that I used some speakers from a TV and the cavity that I made was shaped differently(and cut one sheet at a time then glued).
      Your batteries should work as long as to set the voltage for your batteries.
      I also remember that the way the circuitry worked (according to video) the batteries had to have charge to work even if plugged in to the wall. Basically if you watch it while charging it the batteries drained slower so it was best to charge overnight.

    Hi DIY Perks - If I may, I'd like to make a video request that can be
    very helpful for farmers in developing countries like India. The request
    is to create a centrifugal water pump that runs on the concept of
    sterling engine, powered by heat from concentrated sunlight using
    fresnel lens. So to simplify, the fresnel lens concentrates sunlight and
    generates heat to run the sterling engine, where the wheel of the
    sterling engine is the wheel inside the water pump itself. This can
    really help farmers in India who have limited access to power to water
    their fields. Thank you so much in advance.

      Aah! Man,that's gonna be ineffitient.the amount of materials used for focusing such huge amount of light,and size if land covered could have been used for high voltage power line instead.
      There is gonna be a huge loss of energy ,by reflected radiated heat.

    • @karthikd490
      @karthikd490 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey Suraj, I don't think the system would be inefficient or occupy large space. You can generate as much as 2000 F with a 50 inch single point focus fresnel lens. Combine that with the centrifugal pump, it hardly occupies much space. If you intend to put it in your living room then yes, it does occupy lot of space. But if you install it near the wells in farm lands, which is my motive, then the space wouldn't be a constraint.
      As long as we get the right amount of energy to run the sterling engine, I don't think we need to worry about the rest of energy. In fact, some loss of energy or dissipation into surroundings is good as it prevents overheat and damage of materials.

      cheap and safer to work with

    • @vgamesx1
      @vgamesx1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +山寨卡屁 Lithium cells are nearly as safe as long as you keep them above 3v, keep them under 4.2v and don't short them out and although it costs more there are also LiFePO4 cells which are even safer.
      As for the cost, AAs are certainly cheaper but not by very much, especially when 18650s last longer (roughly 400 cycles vs about 1000 cycles) and have way more capacity so I'd say that easily more than makes up for the price difference, but if you go on ebay and buy cheap laptop packs you can get good deals on 18650s at around $1 per cell and are usually decent cells, last couple packs I bought, I received cells that were roughly 2000mah and 2400mah. (9 cells and 12 cells) for me the cost was closer to $1.25 per cell so let's calculate the cost difference using that.
      $11 and $15 for both packs, now rechargeable AA tend to go for about $20 on an 8 pack at local stores and $35 for 12 pack of quality pack of eneloops makes them $2.5 and $2.9 per battery, now that's an unfair comparison since the 18650s are used but new cells only cost $3-$5 and offer over double the capacity and at least double the lifespan, without counting the added charging and discharging circuitry they are an insanely good value compared to AAs.
      I'm guessing he went with AA because people are more likely to have them lying around their house and/or merely prefers them for some reason.

    • @theLuigiFan0007Productions
      @theLuigiFan0007Productions 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      One thing you're wrong about, Eneloop Ni-MH AA cells are rated for 2100 charge cycles, which is much better then cheap 18650 Lithium cells. They hold up to 60-80% their charge for well over a couple years and have a VERY low internal resistance. a.co/cfeNtl3 Price per unit is about $2.65. The new line of Eneloop cells are very impressive in terms of specs. I think they're working on a 2500/3000 cycles 3AH version to be released 2018.

    • @vgamesx1
      @vgamesx1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      theLuigiFan0007 Well I meant more so in general terms, obviously if you get some quality 18650 cells and limit their charge to only 4.1v or there about you can get 2000-3000 cycles on those too, but yeah those eneloops are pretty great aren't they? Plus they don't even cost much more than some of the poor quality batteries sold in local stores.

    • @theLuigiFan0007Productions
      @theLuigiFan0007Productions 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rayovac used to have Ni-MH 48 packs for $70 and 24 packs for $40 on their site. They were 2400mAH and rated for 500 cycles or 1350mAH and rated for 1000 cycles. That's not too either for the price, but I can't find packs those size anymore. I bought a 16 pack of Rayovac Ni-MH batteries a couple years ago (1350mAH version), and last year got a 16 pack of Eneloop cells. Still use the Rayovac batteries quite often, but more for things like flashlights and game controllers.

I realize we're not designing/building for the New York Philharmonic, but does it change the characteristics of the sound when the port length is determined, then you effectively shrink the space by putting the amplifiers in that chamber?
