Putting together the emergency power box. Using the 18650 battery banks from my past videos for power. Here we see the charging circuit setup and the digital volt meter. I can now charge the whole battery bank at 12.6 volts with the 3 cell setup. I had to add a fan to the voltage charge regulator. I used 3 -10 amp diodes in the charge circuit so there is no back feed from battery bank. The batteries are labeled as 3000 mah. I will assume 2000 and if that is used for the math at 3.7 volts that is 7.4 watt hours. That would make this unit an 1100 watt hour unit. 1.1 kwh COOL! This can run a tv for weather information, or news, with some lighting with no problem. So this will charge at 300 watts with any voltage over about 15 VDC input. This will handle up to 40 volts input. I can use this for portable power on my land where cords won't reach or, whatever I need some portable power for...fishing and camping etc. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NkbqhB5KUE

This is how I make shelf stable butter so I do not need to rely on refrigeration. Ghee, or clarified butter costs about $8 per container. I can make 4 containers for just a few bucks. I may over stir just a bit but it works for me to help keep it from burning. I do wait for it to cool down so I can just touch the jar, then I lock down the rings so it will pull a bit of vacuum when it cools. I understand it is healthier for you than having all the sugars and milk solids in it. I really think it should cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or just a bit more even sometimes. It seems different with different brands or weather/humidity might play a part too. Regardless, there is a small bubble frothy foam at first, then in about 10-15 minutes, it changes to bigger bubbles so you know its working if you see that, and it will clear up like a light color oil under the foam when it is done. This has no shelf life limit! Just keep it in a cooler and darker place, like under a counter or in a pantry. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIU0S0FghZA

A clean up of the 413 Coleman camp stove. This is much bigger that the 425 style. This is not to restore to like new condition, just to make it nicer and last longer. It is nice to know it will work at a moments notice. What a great find at the flea market for $5.00! This would make a great survival stove and with a steel box on top, it would be a good oven for bread. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWwbRSWF3J4

I got this from an e-sales company. The cost was $150 with tax and shipping. I was viewing this, melting things, with some shaded safety glasses...I think the shade was maybe a #3, not 5, like I said in video. These generators are advertised for melting the edges of plexiglass for artistic work, making the edge clear from saw marks, etc. I was supposed to use a solution of 15% LYE. I would then have to use 150 grams of lye for 1 liter of distilled water. I only used 100 grams. I like the amps and resulting flame right there. So I will just run it like this, I believe. No sense pushing the power supply, I feel. This is way more efficient than the one I made. I was running 12 volts at 80 amps with a smaller flame. I love this thing. I am only hooking up the red gas hose on my torch, the green hose has nothing on it. And as a bonus I can use it to make hydrogen rich water for health...so that is a subject all it's own. This will weld or solder or braze aluminum, copper, stainless steel...etc, with a very clean flame. There is ZERO carbon in water, so no CO2 or CO or any soot from flame. The only by product of burning this fuel is water. Yes, fuel from water will save me a lot of money from having to buy any butane and propane, and acetylene from now on. This is "brown's gas"... hydrogen and oxygen both, are sent to torch head mixed together. Melts rocks too...so cool! Just another scrap of NON-dependence !!! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzRrYk6lfkc
