Hey Lasersaber! Hope you're ok. Missing your great solar and super capacitor projects, hope you will be back with us soon! Best wishes from New Zealand.
im going to build this . thank you lasersaber for including the parts list and project notes .
hi. have u build it? can u share it how it went?

Great build. I'm really interested in doing one of these. A few quick and very minor suggestions: If you attach the capacitors to the lid instead of inside the box you can work on components inside without disassembling them. Also, hot gluing a few extra fuses inside the box will be a big plus if one of them ever blows.
One of my favorite videos!
Right up my alley. Not to complex, not to simple! Perfect. Subscribed!
You could make a few solar cells on the top, so it always keeps its charge when you place it in front of a window. Ready for any emergancy. Its a wow invention.
Awesome! And just a suggestion, using a bridge rectifier would allow for the crank to be turned in either direction to create power.
отличная идея!
ElectroBoom would approve
Love your design I expanded on it. Heavy duty polymer tool box, perminent magnet 800w motor, same that windmills uses, weld about a 14lbs fly wheel to the end of the motor (you'll hand spin this to start it) connect to a plexiglass box. Inside plexiglass box make a 1:642 gear train. Fill plexiglass box with gear oil for reducted friction, on the end attach a 4 ft long crank so you can get your entire body into rotation. With the brushless perminent magnet motor it doesn't matter which way you turn the generator and you'll get insane amperage and watts with your 1:642 gear ratio, just make sure you hand spin the fly wheel first. An object in motion wants to remain in motion.
You've caught on to something awesome. I've been waiting for this video for a while. I'm building mine ASAP. You're awesome, Man.
Excellent work! Very cool, glad to see your still kickin'!
Also, your set of helping hands look pretty helpful, a much better design than the classic.
Good stuff.
Peace
Ben
Great build. I built a supercapacitor bank for spot welding. It can generate 1500Amp impulses. Adding a crank to it is a great idea.
Thanks for braking my eardrums with your drill!
Thanks for the information and the DIY! I’m going to build one.
Awesome build! Love that you share what you are doing. You should add the possibillity to charge the unit from a wall socket.
run a wood hole saw backwards if you want an easy way of cutting nice clean holes in plastic. spade bits don't work too well. running it backwards keeps it from grabbing and gives a smoother finish.
Very cool project. I'd like to build something like this into my 4x4. Weak battery, just do a little cranking and you can get it started to get home. don't really need it. already have a small solar panel mounted that keeps a float/slow charge on it, but hey it may happen at night!
The turning of the handle got a saw blade and a drill to turn; pure science :) Well done
I like the musicalization of your channel in general
This is not a theory... it is a build... way to go laser dude...
Put those 12 V sockets on the lid...
Very nice unit. I can't wait to see it in action. :-)
An Excellent product. Make it more functional....removable handcrank..adaptable to a DIY powertool to spin the crank.
love this, It provides quiet power, No need for loud gas generators. Huge Thumbs up. Will be sharing this video and subscribing. Thank You
I Think you should put the crank in the middle of the large surface on the larger box with a handle on the narrow edge then you can stand it up and crank your knuckles won't hit the ground. Hope this helps
thanks for posting. nice work. here are some late thoughts. imo, at 7:25, you were well on the way to cooking that diode with the soldering iron. thanks for the info about the small hand-crank generators. i am guessing nominal output would be about 18 watts. in lieu of replacing the pm motor, another stage of step-up gearing could be added, to 'speed things up'. you may know, in an application where a high-speed pma is desirable, the stator coils can be connected delta. then, output rises Amps over volts. lenz force drag at lower speeds is initially less, then gradually climbs with rotation rate; output power (watts) is roughly equal to stator coils connected wye/star. cheers
in case you or your subs might be interested, here is a link to a video in which, just maybe, overunity is achieved, on a table top.
the video appears to show an Energy Gain of 60-plus percent; where input power is about one watt and output power is about 1.6 Watts. this percentage corresponds to the Amount of Mechanical Advantage the drive motor has Over the load (generating coils), located Nearer to the center of rotation. if is is true, it is proof of my separate research, conducted in 2016. the idea is simply to use Leverage and modern power generating hardware, to Easily achieve overunity. (see the law of the lever; the wheel-and-axle, which is a Rotary, 2nd-class Lever.) see my channel for more info, if it suits. cheers

Any chance you can do a video on upgrading a $1 solar garden light with a capacitor? I'm from PR and I wanna upgrade 10 of my lights to share with my neighbors, we're still without power.
American talent has no limits and you are one of the US talents. Congratulations excellent video.
Thanks for posting this by the way..... although I would reconsider I'm putting the super capacitors in a box like that. I only say that because if you use a 5 gallon bucket it allows you to put more capacitance in there along with other components that you can open at any time as it also has a Rubber seal and a built-in handle for way less money.
Awesome! Keep it up!
Very interesting, appreciate you sharing. Curious why you weren't concerned bridging your hand across the dc posts on the outside of the box in the video.
Hey, Lasersaber I used a FW bridge rectifier on my crank generator so it makes no difference which way you turn the handle. MY generator is not as big as yours but good for charging phones and running LED lights. BTW: Like your channel.
In theory it should also charge faster as the single Diode will block half of the power cycle(??) of the handcrank, while a bridge rectifier will allow both halves of the power cycle to charge the capacitor Bank.
@MultiDavid997 so there is already a bridge rectifier or similar inside the hand crank generator.
@MultiDavid997 most bare rotary generators will produce AC unless there is extra circuitry to prevent it from doing so.
Sorry, i checked in the meantime. It seems I forgot my highschool physics quite a bit.
Brushed permanent magnet motor outputs DC if I'm not mistaken
great stuff Lasersaber . i will eventually get around to assembling mine. i have all the bits i need , too many projects though.
this will be perfect for me with some of the adventures i do, it will be a safeguard for me at the end of a long weekend jaunt,if you know what i mean. well done . cheers bazz
Just found your videos and channel. Quick question; have you thought about using an ammo box as your container? They’re stackable, waterproof, come with their own handle, and they provide a little more accessibility for fuse changing or other minor repairs. Maybe even space for a larger and removable crank handle?
Lovely content! Keep it up!
Being from the NW USA - water proof all connections crimp then solder then dielectric grease (petroleum jelly works in milder climates) then shrink wrap. (Keeps petroleum jelly from off gassing) rebuilt 1985 van this way back in 1999 and still working.
Made this project almost two years ago, didn't use a bridge rectifier to minimize losses from motor to the capacitor bank . I didn't put the supercaps lasersaber used in his videos (EATON 400F 2.7V) and had the geared DC motor used in his first video, but i can surely say that as a project it has potential. Yes batteries store way more energy but you can charge this in far less time than a battery and you dont have to worry about battery lifespan or charge cycles and weather conditions, it's also way lighter than a car battery (so portability is a plus too).
LaserSaber, it is good to see you making videos again. Thank you for showing us this unit. I like the new case for it. Will you offer this as a kit? I'd buy one. The handles are already unavailable.
Extreme longevity potential, I love it! Decomposition of the materials used to build it being the only possible downside. Otherwise, I see no reason why this shouldn't remain functional 100 plus years on. You should commission someone to manufacture and sell these for you!
Looks great... the hand cranker isn't available anymore from that link, what where the specs of the one you had, if you remember ? Thanks for sharing, really amazingly simple and great.
I think I'll check your original video. I'm more interested in what it can do and how it works than how it was made :) Thanks for sharing!
Big fan here! Are you planning to make one?
Good job,,, I built battery replacement for my scooter... 500 f caps , it stayed charged for six days between runnings, then I saw a pcb charge balancer on evay, the ones with all the active electronics, , it only stayed charged for 2 days.... so I went back to diode bridge system.... works fine...
Don't know if someone has pointed this out yet. At 6:21, you place your adhesive tape over the pressure release vents of the capacitors. This could affect the proper function of those vents if the capacitors need to safely vent off pressure due to the failure of the capacitor. Instead of a slight pop and a hiss. It could now become a KABOOM! Other than that, I'm planning on building one of these to use as a jump pack.
Dude you're amazing. Thanks so-o-o much for sharing your designs!
I'm guessing that in warm sunlight your adhesive tape might let go of the booster pack... Maybe a support structure inside?
Do we need to charge and discharge the super-capacitors several times before normal use? I saw this mentioned in a couple places when I was looking at different super capacitors to purchase.
Hey Lasersaber thanks for uploading your videos. Really enjoyed them. Have you made a v3 hand crank box yet?
Loving the soln projects, and the joule thief projects - those are especially interesting. More please! Looking for off grid solutions. Have you seen any videos on building battery packs from 18650 cells?
Thank you for sharing this cool idea
neat project! good attention to detail with things like those nut caps. how long do those capacitors retain their charge?
Excelente proyecto, voy a tratar de implementarlo, saludos desde Costa Rica.👋
@lasersaber
Do you need to use any resistors to limit the current output from the capacitor?
Also for this project is it safe to use 14AWG and 16AWG ?
If you wanted to use switches to turn off every output and control what is on and off, what type of DC switches would you use and what sort of Amp's in current would you need?
USE the biggest wire you can afford
Yeah it's safe but 12 gauge wire is the standard.
How long are you needing to crank the handle to make a car start or even make your saw run and how long can your saw run ???
Love your work a really nice idea.
thx for sharing.
Regards.
nice job! clean work. video made well!
What inverter were you using in the beginning of this video? Thank you.
One word....BADASS!!!
Happy New year 2020
I love you forever lasersaber ❤❤😭😭
Please come back
We need u
Respect from INDIA 😭😭
for a bigger case , a good plastic toolbox might be the way to go
I think it'd be really cool if you started using Anderson Powerpole connectors in your projects, in addition to banana/lug and cigarette lighter plugs. You've already got a decent crimper for them.
Brilliant!! (ideas to toy with bigger, heavier (tool box-sized) with alternator... (could be "pre-charged" with electric drill prior to use)
Or connect directly to the battery and charge it up that way.....
Wow, impressive project. Can this be used to charge big dip cycle batteries for off the grid application? if yes, how long do I have crank it to full charge a 100ah battery? Cheers :-D
How did you connect the solar panel to the boostBox ? I only see terminals output for an inverter? Or are you using the same output connects as the input from the solar panel?
Looks like you are doing just half wave rectification, have you tried out this setup with a ~full bridge rectumfrier~ ?
This would be my favourite machine of all time if you included a bicycle pedalling system attached to it and turn it into a fitness generator, making it the perfect way for me to have free energy and loose weight at the same time.
Grt video, glad i found you. Would rechargable batteries work instead off capacitors or they same thing?
The links on this clip work fine, including the balance board.
Nice.
Can a super cap store to much energy like this?
It's really amazing job.
Such a wise guy. I like it. Who needs heavy long lead cords on a remote job site!? Or jump box for starting cars when batt goes down. Can quickly charge this box off a bad batt w low voltage, then start the car w this box.
Hello Lasersaber, please answer this question: How long do you have to crank your capacitor bank for a second try after a car fails to start after caps intially run down? That question was posted under a YT video titled "Using capacitors instead of a car battery for 3 years and counting!" by Catrinsin. Thanks
heard you have an electric car, why not make boost pack to help the traction battery? you may have more range.
You were making amazing content and taught me a lot. Seems like you disappeared. Has everything been ok with you. Looking forward to getting some sort of update.
There has to be some heat generated by those capacitors. How do they dissipate any heat? Also, you have so many wires soldered together on the Cap Block why not use a wiring terminal strip? Interesting project. One I would take camping and use the solar charge feature to keep it going as well as cranking.
Given the cost of capacitor jump starters, this is very handy info :-)
Are you using a DC stepper motor?
Thanks 4 sharing this awesome concept!!
No, he's using a DC generator that has carbon brushes (that's the worst efficiency of all of today's generator choices), but I still like his enthusiasm for a great cause !
How long would you have to crank to get enough to start a car? Hours?
It looks like a really cool idea. HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO CRANK UNTIL YOU GET ENOUGH CHARGE TO START THE CAR?
can u tell me total cost to make it? want to make a car battery with usb function only.. i like to do it but the item to buy online in bundle it's so much for me. can u build for me?
you are alive YEAH
You let out an important piece of information. How many much cranking does it take to charge it? 10 min, 3 hrs?
So how much time can you keep the drill operating drilling? how much holes like you did?
A brace and bit would've got those holes drilled in a similar manner, but with fewer intervening stages :) The boost box could be a life saver in snowy conditions though. They come into their own for starting gasoline engines when it's so cold that even a good condition battery struggles. I've seen videos where people have permanently replaced their battery with these supercap banks. Nice job.
I remember now. They were mostly YOUR videos :)
Super awesome video love it
Cool project, I love your passion in doing this. Don't listen to the non believer.
🤩 wow..very good idea bro..
How long do you need to crank to get 12-13v?
Thanks for sharing 💕 u are awesome
I love capacitors xD its so intresting
Built-in clamp-to-bench / clamp
-to-picnic table / clamp-conveniently-to-car, eliminating cranking difficulty?
Just for the record, I thought one of the worst things car and truck manufacturers ever did to auto-industry consumers / customers was to eliminate the hand-crank option fod engine starting. And, the second worst thing was eliminating the mechanical power take-off so that a family's second most expensive asset could no longer be used to help them complete tasks around their property.
Thanks so much for leading the way in innovatively Reinventing the hand crank starter. There should be one of your boxes included in the trunk of every new car with an internal combustion engine, as well as a small pull start gasoline engine in electrics in which you could limp home in case of emergencies. And well they're being really brainy they could put a hand crank window option just in case Electric Windows go bad. Of course Detroit and other based manufacturers would just say well it's time for a new car and that's always been there answer instead of answering with their main responsibility / the consumer in mind.
Hand crank starters were removed from cars due to people getting stupid. And broken wrists/arms. We still have tractors that are 6Volt and hand crank. But most people would never know how to start one safely. As for the PTO, yep. Jeeps had them and we have a 3-point hitch for use with one. Problem is................. you need to find one from back in the 40s-50s to use them. My pickup does have the PTO gear in its transmission and there are kits to install a 10kW alternator on that transmission. But I will tell you this, the same transmission without that extra gear is a lot quieter.
great little box, what are the diodes parameters and where to get them?
I added the link to the diodes in the parts list: laserhacker.com/?p=642
also microwave oven turntable motors make a good crank generator too.
dude, where do i get a salvage microvabe
m3sca1 yes they do
Eagerly waiting for your next project. Thinking to make one for camping purpose please help by including in your next video. Thankyou.
nice work sir, please how fast can it charge and how long can it hold power
have a question about all your capacitor boot packs and replacing the battery... why not use a car audio capacitor? there already self contained and I have found them up to 10f@12v.. which I know your capacitor are 300+f but there only 2.5v which is why you make your packs.. but then you wire them up don't they loose capacitance but gain voltage? anyways what I'm trying to get at is have you tried car audio capacitors and do they work?
TIP use a bridge rectifier and you can crank CCW or CW can make it easier for left handed use. This may be the beginning of the end to batteries as we know them!!!
One of those souped up to start a 7 liter school bus engine would be phenomenal.
hey you are back!
Done making it thanks bro hope i can post my working hand crank by your sample
ust a quick thought would it be a good ideal to run from a solar panel to a super cap then to a mppt to charge a rv battery bank
how many minutes does it take to fully charge the capacitor bank using the manual generator?
Nice project thanks for sharing.
Could you possibly use a bridge rectifier and make some kind of rack and pinion setup that you slide the rack back and forth that can drive 2-3 motors? Eh idk probably overcomplicating something that already works just fine .
This is exactly what I have in mind as well, however, super caps have low voltages and you need circuitry to ensure that they operate in a balanced mode so that they don't get excessive voltage that can cause failure if unbalanced. So I am rethinking the idea using 2.7 volt caps at the moment. The other thing is that you will need to make a current limiter so that your cranking torque is manageable to not get over stressed cranking for prolonged periods of time. There is no free lunch when it comes to energy.
Answering my own question :)
From what I have found out a hand cranked generator delivers approximately 10-20W. If we say it delivers 20W and your cap´s hold 0.34Wh x 12 the cap bank holds 4Wh. To fully charge them with a 20W hand crank it would take 4/20 = 0.2h in other words 12 minutes, and thats at best. If you want to charge your iPhone X from empty to full (10Wh) you would be cranking for 30-60 minutes ;) Wow, thats quiet a workout guys. Carpal tunnel syndrome here I come!
Use BLDC MOTOR for better generation efficiency! Thanks for the awesome vids.
Hi. Where do I get a list of the parts used?.the website just takes me back to TH-cam .thanks
Can we get a bit more info on the device that converts the crank to energy that can actually be stored by the capacitors? I'm curious about digging into that and what goes into "power per crank".
might be late for the answer, but any type of typical DC motor can produce voltages when you spun them. the crank part is the gear that increase the rotation speed from original so it will spin the DC motor's spindle fast enough to generate voltages.
might need a voltage regulator to prevent over voltage before wiring it to super capacitor.
