Awesome Video Vice Motherboard and Jehu🖒🖒🖒

So awesome that I ran into this channel and this particular episode! I love it. I've been messing with solar generators and power generated via wind. This is the next step! Thank you, thank you! Scott

I've been subscribed to both of their channels for years now, awesome!!!

You're the man.. You are a pioneer, I'm also a DIYer, not in your level but I've heard people calling me a "wanna be" and that's from the sane people who have settled and don't want to try. Like Tesla and others who took the risk of being blown up or failing went on to change the world as we know it today. You and your friend are an inspiration for the immigrants like myself and younger generation. Thanks keep up the great job and never give up... As Winston Churchill said "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm"

I see a jehu! Neat. Thanks for promoting this field.

You should buy a fume extractor. They are not much money. $50-100 or so. The extractor moves fumes away from you so you don't breathe them in, but the active carbon actually removes the VOC's from the soldering process.

@heinzkunz5975

The production of electric energy is harmful to the environment. No way around that. So called renewable energy production harms the environment in different ways then say coal gas or oil. Experience gained in the last few decades suggests that solar energy is least harmfull, since the lifecycle of cells seems to be way above the 25-30 years stated by manufacturers. When talking about batteries the answer can only be. It depends. Which kind do you mean. I'm assuming Li-Ion, which is one of the most harmful types of batteries. Production plus recycling uses a lot of power and is, when looking at the not so long lifecycle of a battery, not a very efficient use of energy. Cars that use batteries to store energy, which don't use at least 90% renewable energy to recharge and are not being driven a certain mileage every day are actually more harmfull to the environment then using a car that runs on gas. Always remember, car batteries have to be replaced at least every 5 years. Batteries in cars also pose a high security risk. As long as there are only a few percent of those on the street, risks at an accident aren't very high, but when every car uses them and there is an accident involving lots of cars and some catch fire, the situation can turn really ugly really fast. Batteries in cars is just a short term solution, one might even call it a fad. We can only hope that fuel cells become mass market ready soon.

So do you just walk into a battery recycling facility and say, "gemme those liths man"?
