It’s beautiful to see you and your son create such wonderful projects together!

Just because your son helped with the build, gets a thumbs up from me!! Awesome job dad!

Not quite sure what my favorite part was, that incredible little vehicle or the fact he was on the tools. So cool!

If he was 6 at the time of building it, he must be building rockets now (age 11?) :P This is awesome :)

You are doing your children such a great service by teaching them this kind of stuff so early in life! Hats off to you sir!

God bless you and your family in these testing times. Thanks for the great vids!

Absolutely precious. This video put a huge smile on my face,

it's very cool.. I'd like to see somehting like that being built...

Wow, this young man is totally amazing and will make an excellent engineer someday.! Keep up the good work little guy and listen to your dad..!

That right there was my dream as a kid in the ‘80s - an electric wagon powered by solar. Well done!

So cool, great work Grant and Quint

THAT was a great project....and YOU sir, - are a great dad! ;) " KUDOS! "

My son is going to love this! Thanks man

Awesome, I would love to see the build.

Well done, both of you. Awesome Dad, awesome son.

Love the family builds.

He looked like he had a ton of fun! Awesome

Have a son of soon 4 that shows interest in machining and engineering. Will show him this video as inspiration Thanks, you just got a new sub.

Great job, Grant!

@@QuintBUILDs I want to build an electric recumbent reverse trike like this with storage saddlebags and a small pull behind bicycle trailer with solar panels for recharging....Build a lightweight frame for the trike, use one 100w thin lightweight solar panel on the front/hood, a removable plexi glass windscreen, then roof with a 100w solar panel and a couple extra 100w panels on a slide out rack (and slide outs on the trailer) to slide out for more charging power when parked. The hood, roof and trailer solar panels would recharge slightly when riding. But when parked the extra slide out panels would provide more recharging power. Also add a wall plug in charger and connect a 1,000 or 1500w generator head from a wind turbine to the pedals with sprockets & chain so you can also recharge by pedaling at a relaxing pace....Make a solar recumbent trike for long distance e-bike packing and travel the country with no fuel required.

Quint, you have as of today 242 thousand subscribers and you Are growing fast, People LOVE anything to do with energy harvesting whether it is hydro, solar, wind, etc. lets build from scratch a high output generator/alternator that can be adapted to either wind or hydro many people live in areas where a spring house can be made and collect spring water, I Know there are better ways to make high output devices that will work on low flo or even low head water ,a better generator/alternators that can be so much more efficient and better ways to convert hydro power and capture more of the wasted potential as I see in so many designs . ANYTHING along the lines of collecting renewable resources

Revisiting the gutter generator. Possibly use the golden ratio and a Lilly impeller design.
