A simple solar powered windmill, the sales and hub were bought from eBay and a small solar gear motor and a waterproof solar panel, also from eBay - a 2.8 volt (three cells) wired straight across a small geared solar motor and a batter - all wired in parallel - the battery, a sub 'C' Nicad, kept the model running all night. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs-xT1YncvM
Test running a Playmobil shunter on solar power, I've since removed the two lead blocks that increase the weight of the loco, runs even faster now. This is a little project I've been asked to do to demonstrate solar power to children in a fun way.

The maverick speaker builder rides again! Was given a ton of MDF panels so I bought the cheapest 15" drivers I could find on ebay at £10 each and am having a play. I've been told I should Google Bailey/Radford transmission line design - so I'm going to have a peek :)

A quick fix to rescue your files, which you must do straight away as this fix may stop working as the underlying problem gets worse, other videos on Youtube will explain how to properly fix the issue :)
If this works for you, like, subscribe etc, etc, as I hear that 'minor' channels like mine may become increasingly sidelined, and even possibly closed down, as YouTube evolves - eeeeek :D

Working on one of the boilers at the former Didcot Power Station. This was taken at a time when I was in the habit of just 'starting the camera and leaving it running' so I hope you enjoy my super wonky vision video and the random stills at the end....! I must have lent on the 'zoom' button so in the middle there is an over zoomed in bit before I noticed and zoomed it out again. If anyone recognises anyone in the video, please feel free to comment. I was with Alan London and another chappie. At 6 minutes in, we enter a huge space filled with scaffolding - that is the INSIDE of the boiler - where the huge fires normally burn. This was filmed mainly in and around 'Unit 2' the part of the structure that collapsed about ten years after this video was made, little realizing the fate that would befall it, including loss of life when it failed in 2016 during dismantling, works after 'disastrous errors made during preparations for demolition, in what has become in terms of sheer tonnage of steel, probably the world's worst industrial disaster - RIP to those who perished in 'our building'. xx
More of the collapse here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IADrLnDvwuY&list=PLrJD4W-hig-cANPpPm2owlTNlu32R1iNF

My entry in to a minute long video competition regarding energy and the enviroment. The Baxi Ecogen 'boiler' is actually a stirling engine powered generator. This is the same video as the last one, but with a 'typo' taken out. This video has been heavily edited to get it down to a minute long for the competition.

I need to add a cooling fan to the resistors of the simple old fashioned controller on the float to cope with heavy duty use, the smoke was a mixture of oil used to preserve the resistors (which do get hot) and general farmyard debris, the old style controller just puts a big resistor in line with the motor to limit the power, then the resistor is switched out in sections until it's all switched out so the motor is straight on to the battery - simple and effective - but needs cooling for heavy field work.

Charging up a 2.5uF 'super Capacitor' in very weak light over several hours and running a motor from the capacitor. The capacitor is built in to the switch unit.
