I've been excited about this video for a while now, thank you!

Dude, you are scarin' the shit out of me with how you handle those caps.

I missed lasersaber and his "Okay" reminds me Soln1 old days.. keep the good work friend

The balance board concept, and implementation is awesome. Better than anything I have seen for that.

Thanks Lasersaber, that's great, I've been wondering about that for quite a while, everyone else may have been wondering about it for quite a while also.

Now I know what I want for Christmas. Very cool concept

This will be a winner in india as we have lots of power cuts..almost every house has a inverter that runs on a bettery as a backup power source...this will work good. but the cost is super hight for a capacitor here. And it will be super good to run airccons small ones specially. Love the work you do Bro

I'm mostly a mechanical type of guy, but watching your channel had prompted me to want to learn more on how to duplicate some of your projects. thank you

Awesome video! I'm now interested in capacitors in a way I wasn't before.

would love to see the supper cap lithium battery merge. i think that might be a long lasting power supply. for us guys working in the sun hauling a gen around to work..

Hi!! Sorry, one question but what if your appliance wasn't 2000w but 300/400w... Can the system keep up for a long time if the sun will keep on shining?

@@2487mpobor there are other means of collecting energy. What happens when My St Helens blows and covers the world in ash cloud. You need to think about other ways if harnessing energy. Forget batteries, we have polluted our planet enough without having a ton of batteries that are only good for a few years. I encourage everyone read Teslas last paper. You will thank me later. Good luck.

Fantastic design and setup.

I saw your previous application of this setup and was amazed by its practicality. I mean If this small setup is this powerful, imagine 4 times the capacitance and perhaps 3 times of the solar input which still in the portability range. I say this the portable gasoline generator killer only if you can get your work done before the sun takes a dip ;)

Yes, this will work very well with my power wall... :) The small 18650 batteries won't be able to handle the large current draws on some appliances but with this set up, the capacitors can discharge large current without putting too much strain on the batteries. Thank you for the video!

Great work man, can't wait to be able to have a little bit of funds to buy from you and also built some of it too, thanks

Suberb little system . I like the direction you are going with it.

This is rad. Running skill saws and cement mixers with solar. Great set up for off grid earthship construction. Cheers.

Hi, Thanks for sharing & eloquent, fluent narration ! 😆

great work lasersaber....

Power a fridge, some lights, a water pump.. this is a great little system during a crisis!

Is your website with the information ever coming back? I really want to build one of these.

Why is it gone? Seems that anything that comes out that can benefit this world and others is taken down, bought out, or killed. ??? Must be too good to share?

Beautiful overall design. One very small nit to pick: when connecting a bunch of parallel loads/sources you should use opposing taps (if positive is left, negative should be right), so the net current flow on each bar is theoretically the same across the bank. Your protection circuits may mitigate this but it still seems like you'd have some variance in current flow from left to right across the banks and you would definitely end up with hot spots near the terminals that would otherwise be less hot. Crude depiction of what I mean: (+) -----+------+------+------+------+ = = = = = +----+----+----+----+---- (-) Each bank now has the same length to travel across the bar, "n" on the (+) side, and "Ttl - n" on the (-) side. Result is no inherent hot spot.

Nice. I use 2 16v 500F supercapacitors for 24v solar system. Capacitors are connected to my battery bank. It is very useful when you run devices that produce current surges over 0.2 seconds. Like my electric wood saw 800W and wood splitter 2800W start current = x4

You do amazing work.

Excellent work

I would love to do this for my sprinter build out! Do you think it would work for a camper van?

always love your vids. you could just add a hand crank to get enough voltage to start the charge controller rather then plugging and unplugging etc.

Wow, that's pretty cool! Would want to connect the main in / out to the capacitor bank on opposite ends though, ie diagonally, that way each set of caps has the same amount of series resistance due to the busses.

I like this 25mm2 cables connected just to 4mm2 on cap board. What current are you putting throw it?

Nice video always love watching you experiment, it would be great if you can include approx how much things run at.

Very nice job!

AWESOME STUFF !!! THANK YOU !!!

that's a beautiful design :)

a robust version of this would be uber useful!

hi 😀 and where are we buying the supercapacitor ?? and the circuit support

I love your experiments bro,awesome brain wtf

thank you ! loved the video !

Doing a rough calculation, at .4 watt-hours per cap it'd take 10 to run a 1400 watt circular saw for 10 seconds, with a recharge time of 2 minutes on a 120 watt panel, which sounds about right. A 12v/9ah sealed lead acid battery (SLA) would last 1 hour at equivalent use, or 5 minutes continuous use, whereas it'd take 60 caps to run the saw continuously for 1 minute, with a 12 minute recharge time, so simply adding that SLA to this system would allow the tool to be used for much longer periods at a time without having to buy a lot of expensive capacitors and wait a long time between tool uses. It would also 'waste' less of the panel's output because the SLA can store 1 hour's worth of energy, relative to a puny 10 seconds with 10 caps, or a still paltry 2 minutes with an impractical 60 caps. That way, if the saw isn't used for 1 hour there will be enough energy stored to double the amount of time it can be used for in the next hour, energy which would otherwise have gone to waste, and the saw could be used for much longer periods at a time. I feel that this 'best of both worlds' is a better approach than the purely capacitor based one which most seem to take; I do understand the want to only use caps as a demonstration of their potential, but because batteries and capacitors both have their ups and downs, ie Batteries store Much more Energy and Capacitors deliver Much more Power, I think it's best to show how capacitors can complement and enhance each other. Until capacitors have massively increased capacity they simply cannot compete with batteries in energy storage, so combining both will be better in most applications until they do, which may be a long time yet, and even then their physical size may still be excessive for many applications. To summarise, supercapacitors and batteries are a marriage made in heaven, and one which should be utilized and investigated much more than it is, rather than the trend of simply replacing batteries with capacitors.

its important to note that if there is no current limiting between your batteries and the cap bank, the batteries will get just as high of a current draw as it did before adding the cap bank.

You really do beautiful work. thanks for sharing.

These are going to be useful in the EV field it takes less energy to maintain a moving object than it does to increase motion from 0. I like the label Hybrid you referred to! Re gen braking and re charging while using the same energy stored

wooow... nice!! Ok let's take it up a notch and do the hybrid system!!!

Hello, from Francis Morin, I like the way you teach

new subscriber with this video! Thank you!

Nice work!!! Do you have any estimated day to release the SOLN1-2000? I am looking to get one once available.

I'm not sure what I like more, your device or the fact you used a tripod. Thank you!

Very well done I was wondering for the controller could you put in say a battery Or super capacitor as a morning start up reserve booster source that could be set to be the first start up and restore power during the day ? and maybe also be used as an extra source of power ?

I love the design! One quick question: Why not find out where the 5v or 3v regulator comes off the charge controller and wire it to the output of the solar panels? It would prevent the parasite draw when the panels aren't producing and it would allow it to start on solar power only. Probably a LM7805 or 7803.

Great video and thanks for the links. I currently have Dyna-batt manufacturers ID 5575B its a 12V, dry cell battery, 16amps hrs, and it is 4 years old. I bought it for the weight savings in my car and at $159, it was the best option. Now, the CCA on it is around 280 and I live in NE and on days where its under 50 degrees, the car struggles to start. I want to maintain the weight savings and I like the idea of a supercapacitor, in parallel. What kind and how many would I need to help boost this battery? A schematic, or links to what I can buy would be awesome. Thanks!

Very nice work! You have some money invested in that setup.

Hybrid battery/supercapasitors for e-bikes would be awesome right? For that initial burnout

Add a few switches in place of plugs to save wear and tear. This is an excellent idea. With consistant sun or wind, capacitors could replace expensive batteries and their hassle all together.

I am putting together a few Shaluoman supercapacitor banks and am wondering what other components I need between them, like diodes or fuses.

I wish you were still doing this Lasersaber.

I would say you would be better of with a mix of mostly Li-Ions for the bulk and just a few Caps for the burst. 4x4 18650 3000 mAh + 6 Caps would offer a bigger energy storage and still be able to deliver the full 2 kW peak, but 'only' 600W continuous power.

Yeah, self-discharge can also be a problem, but that heavily depends on the uscase and the capacitors. Some "Supercaps" can discharge down to 50% in a matter of hours, if you plan on using them for long-term storage it is a bad idea. In combination with batteries they would discharge them too, but slower as you now have far fewer capacitors. There are also supercaps with low self-discharge, reaching 50% capacity after 3 Months only - but have fun with the price. 5V 1F => 8$ a piece - when bought in bulk of at least 500....... If it is only for 1-2 days backup then i think the discharge of most supercaps should be negligible.

@@ABaumstumpf Great info for low self discharge from Supercap, BTW I make it to survival conditions, for camping, and when I travel far away with car. Just charge the Battery Pack with 50W solar panel on the roof of the car. So I remove the Supercapacitor because their leaky current and just use it for burst energy need with solar panel independently, especially when crafting is needed with wood electric tools. And the Li-Ions pack serve as Power Backup for lighting, power bank for gadgets, and etc. Very neat but useful for Zombie Apocalypse you know 😅😅😅

Bro, I didn't see a list of links to the parts that you used for your SOLN1-2000. Could you link me to that please? Thanks.

Something i don't see anything planning for is service/maintenance. When (not if) but when one of the caps either die or dry out, So i will ask you as i ask other solar enthusiasts. How would you know which one is not working? How will one broken cap effect the system? (maybe drain the rest?) Did you calculate any short-circuit effects to ensure safety of the equipment (fuse dimension)

can you hook this up with the ez spin motor ?

very awesome

Very impressive .

you talking very vell ....i liked ....thank you brother

This is awesome brother. Thanks for sharing your project with us all. Where can I buy those balancing boards and those Super Capacitors? Would you share the link with us please? God bless you and have a wonderful evening

Yea its a cool idea and setup i give you that! You forget to mention cost for all of your builds These Capacitors are not Cheap! I do like the Inverter its a nice mod. sine wave for the cost of 189.99 on sale now. Charge controllers are typically around 30 - 40$. The Super caps you have 72 in parallel banks of 12 that have 6 caps for a total of 16.2 volts closer to 12v under load [72 at $9.60 for 691.20!!]. Your balance bars, you have 12 at 15.95 each for $191.40. Total Cost for your build for parts you have listed as of today is : $1105.58 not including the solar panels, copper wire or any extras.

be great to see what you could find in a decent, honest, cheap, MPPT charge controller. They take advantage of the solar volts from 12-18V+ that PWM charge controllers discard as dumped heat! Caps have the ability to suck up the transient energy you get when the sun sticks its head out of the clouds. Get all the juice available in them gorgeous flexible solar panels you saved-up for.

Good video , just one question , what if you hook up a 24v supercaps bank direct to a 12v panel without a charge controller would the caps overcharge like battery and damage?

Great idea Could you please provide more details on specs of capacitors? Only information I have about capacitors is that they discharge almost instantly providing a huge peak power then off to silence or till charged again I have a home solar power system and I'm willing ti improve it

Nice. For hiking purposes, I am wondering what the total weight for the system is (capacitor bank, inverter and solar panel).

Hey, I have been wondering for a while now... could these super capacitors and/or boards be used to power an electric pedal assist bicycle. And if so what are some pros and cons. Huge Thanks :)

Nice work lasersaber. I thought I was the only on using 3dsmax for CAD ;-) Question hot warm to the caps get? Could you put all this in a big pelicin case or would it over heat?

Great work ! How much is peak current ? and continue current ?

I'm looking for the video on the capacitor bank build for the inks to the suppliers.

Nice video, cool idea and all that, but by my estimate you have well over $1,100 invested in this rig even without any solar panels attached. Where are the advantages? I don't know what the capacitors weigh versus batteries, but physically they appear to take up quite a bit of real estate. What would the application for this be? Thanks.

I have a 20,400 mv power bank I use in the bush to charge my camera's. Am I correct in thinking that I could expand my capacity significantly, cost effectively and practically? I would love to build such a kit but dont have the knowledge to tackle it without help any ideas where to start? I'm not completely stupid just a bit slow LOL..

hi there cool video is there a way to make some for 34volts

I would like to place something like this between my 48v , 200Ah battery bank and my inverter. Would the setup you used work? Do I need to worry about using a certain number of capacitors to equal the 48 volt battery bank and inverter? I'm finding that if the refrigorator, furnace or something that pulls a lot of power for a few seconds, causes a mass pull on the battery bank and the motors sputter until the battery bank can catch up.

I can give you one piece of advice on one thing to add to that to make it next level genius, you see I on my own well pretty much built this thing years ago but mine was crude and thanks to your intelligence and due diligence I can now make it

I’d love to see this hybrid boost pack setup with lithium ion batteries assisting large pulls of power. Is this a cheaper safer or longer lasting then deep cycle flooded batteries? I want to make my own wind/solar power system and wonder if this is a better option. What do you think?
