    How long does the power bank last before recharging?

    • @donedeal8385
      @donedeal8385 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on the bank and how big your wheel is (more leds). With my 20" wheels and a 5000mah battery I get about 2-3 hours of solid light. I'm probably going to upgrade to 40000 batteries with two led strips per wheel eventually to shoot for 6 hours or so per strip per wheel...I think.

  • @brentpolk8331
    @brentpolk8331 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It would probably be better to treat the strip with silicone before you install it, so to keep your rim clean. I'm going to wire 5 single 3.5v 18650 cell holders onto 4" wide velcro to wrap around my hub. It will be both balanced & cleaner!

    Yo that’s way cool man and wtf ur from Panama City Florida I was a resident there for six years . But any ways im doing something with my tires im want them to glow I got the paint on it looks nice but I need some uv black light but I can’t fine nothing small to but on the tires Would u have any ideas?

    • @beachnerdtv
      @beachnerdtv  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually I do have an idea! If you got 6 in strips of UV blacklight LEDs and put them on the inside of your fork, then painted or applied glow in the dark Rim tape around the outer wall of your rim, theoretically when you ride the black light LEDs would recharge the glow in the dark Rim tape. Let me know how this works for you. Always great to meet a PCB neighbor!

    • @vrkeepsmesane3647
      @vrkeepsmesane3647 ปีที่แล้ว

      its not a big deal at low speeds and you can easily create counter weights if youre going at high speeds. I'm currently designing my own hub battery for a motorcycle so that factor is more important to me.

    • @donedeal8385
      @donedeal8385 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So far no issues up to about 30mph but I'm on a recumbent trike with just me powering so that's about the max I'll get up to unless I run it off a cliff. Which may mess up the results.

    • @beachnerdtv
      @beachnerdtv  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not at all. Just mount close to the hub and use at least three medium to heavy zip ties and you're all set.
