As a fun fact, Jerry cans have three handles on the top. The reason there is three is so if you are carrying it alone, you carry it by the middle handled, but if two people are carrying it, each person takes a handle on each side to carry it. I've also read that during the Second World War, one of the things Allied soldiers always looted from German tanks/trucks/vehicles was the Jerry cans because they were so much better than whatever the Allies were supplied with. I suppose to make an "electric Jerry can" with similar energy density as it's namesake, instead of three handles it will need forklift pocket holes.

The grid uses high frequency to negate some of the long distance power losses - thats the large transmission lines raised on high poles, the local grid has significant losses. The high frequency lines can cost in the neighborhood of a billion or more dollars , which is why grids are regional. Upgrading the grid to move solar power from the desert can cause the rates to be very high. A lot of the green grid is subsidized - its difficult to determine the true costs of electricity. The climate change agenda tells us wind and solar is "cheap", but subsidies hide the true costs.

A jerry can costs about 20 dollars, but a ruggedized e-jerry can will likely cost 20 thousand dollars, especially if it’s made for a military budget. It will likely have a range of 5 to 10 kilometers. I guess that’s better than pushing the military EV to a charging station 😉

It's like rocket engine versus jet engine Rockets, carry both fuel and oxidizer while jets carry only fuel. The oxidizer is everywhere. You just need a big hole so the jet engine can suck all the oxidizer it needs 😄

The whole point of a jerry can is it is light and easy to carry to be filled up when needed. A battery even when empty weights a lot so is always extra weight to lug about. To be fair these portable batteries have been used by breakdown services in the UK for a while now and they normally keep a couple fully topped up in their vans. Some also carry a small diesel generator but this takes much longer to put charge into a dead EV so batteries are the preferred option. Normally they only provide enough charge to go another 10 miles though so better hope there is a quick charger near by.

I'm pretty sure that this is intended as a mobile ruggedised battery source for front-line use to charge light equipment such as small unmanned vehicles (drones). Some marketing idiot has added in electric vehicles. As a practical example, I fly radio control aircraft, a decade or two ago this meant 2-Stroke ICE motors but it is predominantly electric these days. But, typically I get 6 minutes flight from each battery pack so with my four packs my afternoon down at the flying field now means just 24 minutes actual flying. So I, and many others in the hobby, recharge from our car batteries and some of us carry a separate small car or motorcycle battery for charging at the field. I suspect that is what the British Army want, but rather than pay £50 for small car battery they will pay QinetQ millions of pounds to develop ruggedised batteries which will then cost them £50k a pop.

So I think this electric jerrycan is not about topping up EVs for transport, it’s about recharging drone and comms gear batteries quietly without a thermal signature in forward areas. Otherwise there’d be no point.

Those things already exist: They're called "bicycles".

Another thing - especially with aircraft is that the fuel tank gets lighter as the aircraft flies... This does not happen with a battery... The safe landing weight of a larger aircraft is also a lot less than its max take-off weight,

Why is that relevant? It only impacts landing calculations. An aircraft that’s full of fuel (or cargo) is perfectly safe to land. The only reason they dump fuel is because the horrific consequences of lighting a full fuel tank when they know it’s going to be a rough landing.

@@chrissmith2114 In some instances that’s true. However most planes don’t have the capacity to dump fuel so would have to land in an emergency with full fuel. It’s a mute argument anyway as this really is a convo about vehicles. I think we are a very long way from electric planes being any more than an experiment. But when we run out of fuel it will be a case of finding the best alternative.

Simon, At least with the Glove Box light on you would be able to read the fine print on your Hertz EV contract 🙂

Oh my. How hilarious. A portable EV battery that still takes how long to unload in to the car.

That has got to be the best so far🤣🤣

I just see the soldiers in back using them to power their gaming laptop and when things break down its been tapped dry. That and the enemies targeting them in hopes of setting off a fire.

I really want to see an electric tank and I don't mean diesel powered generator running electric motors.

i want it to power my tent when i go camping...altho having a normal can and making another one thats a small gas generator would be fun to have

I used to have a jumpstart kit for a car. That thing weighed like 20lbs and took hours to charge, all it did was provide enough power for a car to turn over if the battery was dead lol.

The tow truck said it would take 2 hours, so the Electric Jerry Can gives just enough juice to power your interior lights, so you can find your heavy jacket in the backseat. 😂

Electric Jerry can: for people who think that putting a solar panel (of well under a square meter) atop an electric or hybrid car is brilliant.

In a 20l diesel you have 200kwh @30% efficiency that is 66.(6) usable kwh. Basically what u get in 333 KG battery with 100% efficiency. So ... Wake me up when batteries become 1 order of magnitude more energy dense!

The demonstration that we are not at all ready for this electrical transition also resides in the fact that we continue to consider electricity as a "transportable product". As if it were a liter of petrol or a kilogram of sand.

Actually, using one of these 'Boosters' can invalidate your EV warranty, someone I know of was told that by the EV dealer.

I'm going to buy one for my laptop

"defence applications" --> HAAAHAHAHAHAHHA AHAHAAAHAHAHA HAAAAAAHAHA. EVs are just what you need in defence, amiright?!

100% on the energy density of petrol and jet fuel vs batteries. Bonus for planes they get lighter and more efficient as they burn that jet fuel too.

The e-Panther tank. Eco friendly destroyer of everything in its path, there ya go!!

Fuel cells could solve the problem, but when they tried some methanol-based prototypes 20 years or so ago, they were a) unreliable because of membrane issues, b) as efficient as gasoline engines back then, which means way less efficient than modern ICEs.

Exactly Simon... I ran that math a few years ago to make the point about the fantasy of electric aircraft that many in aviation seem to believe are the future

@@starpawsy Of course it's all about face time with the Industrial Media Complex. Having grown up on an airport and had some first-hand experience with aircraft certification, and seeing a friend burn millions with the FAA before he even had a flying prototype of a conventional light aircraft Burt Rutan spent a lot of time and money designing and test flying, certifying a conventional light electric aircraft, much less an electric VTOL or Part 121 (air transport) aircraft would cost more millions than most realize. Even Elon Musk said "If you want a flying car, buy a helicopter". And with current laws in most countries, you can't just operate a VTOL aircraft anywhere. In the U.S. you are pretty much limited to airports waterways aircraft and seaplanes are limited to. You can make a very limited number off airport landings on your personal property or a property you have permission to land in a year but to do routine operations you have to have an approved heliport, and if the neighbors complain or the FAA, city or county says NO, you don't get your heliport approved.

I see all the EVangleists talk about how much more likely an ICE vehicle is to catch on fire, but I don't see any specific rules about them parking anywhere they want, unlike EV's. I am 73 and can count the number of normal vehicles I have seen on fire on one hand. One of them was a pickup I owned. My wife was driving it, and she saw some flames coming out from under the hood and poured some soda pop on it, that's what she had available and put it out. Some insulation on a wire had overheated and caught fire. She drove home, and I replaced the wire. No damage done, other than the wire.

when an ICE care does catch on fire, the fire department can put it out, when an EV catches on fire the fire department can only try to cool everything around it so it doesn't melt or catch everything on fire. they can't actually put it out. it's like a solid rocket booster.

That inefficiency in gasoline engines is very useful for heating in our cold Canadian winters, whereas in an EV, you don't have that spare energy to begin with.

The number one priority of any company trying to develop EVs of any kind must be the search for a new generation of battery tech. Lithium (certainly in it's present battery tech) is simply not adequate for any EV beyond a vehicle used for local deliveries / commuting only. Unless a company is being told to do this, it's just a way for them to spend/earn money for whistling in the wind...

Instead of “Medic!”, soldiers will be “Charger, I need a charger here!”. I can see the diverse “Charging Battalion” running all over the battlefield with their portable batteries.

Jerry here, also an air return to reduce splash. Those 3 handles? Yep, there's a reason. One man can carry one using the middle handle. A line of soldiers can carry jerry cans BETWEEN them, with the dege handles. The bloke on each end draws the short straw and carries one himself, with the free hand for ballast. Stable, Speedy Like your channel, mate. Pommyland's LOSS is our GAIN ...

What they're not saying is that you need a tractor/trailer full of them to recharge 10 troupe transports! Then there's the BFDG that recharges all the little briefcases. The only drawback is you have to remove the induvial packs from the trailer to allow the heat from recharging to dissipate because you wouldn't want the batteries to go into thermal runaway and give up you position.

BOONDOGGLE SPOTTED!😂

This battery would have a military application though. Drive a nail through it and you have an unextinguishable incendiary device.

How dare you spoil my electric utopia dreams

4:39 Electric drivetrains already exist and are moving heavy freight. It is a diesel-electric locomotive. In fact, most locomotives are diesel-electric.

Hold on, hold on! My tank needs a charge..... yer right!

Sounds like a great idea for rapid charging of equipment such as drones which need to be deployed quickly and often.

Who needs a jerrycan? A few years from now, V2V will likely be standard on new EVs. Use a V2V cable to transfer enough kWh to reach the next charger from a vehicle with plenty of spare capacity to the stranded EV. You can already sort of do this as long as the source vehicle has V2L, though many of those vehicles only have 1-2kW of AC output which is impractically slow. With V2V, you can easily do 50+kW (70A at 720V) and be done in a few minutes on the same weight budget as set of decent 12V booster cables.

I think it's a great idea, it's going to lead to less wars, imagine the commander telling the troops "we're going to raid them at sun up", corporal says, "can we make it late afternoon the batteries aren't charged enough to get all the way there, it's been a bit cloudy".

As a military retiree, I'm curious, when we deploy, how many C-17/C-130's are to be needed to transport all these 'Ruggedised scalable power units', (in a modular fashion, of course) in a low cabin pressure environment at 30,000 feet. Their cell density and mass puts them right up there with an M1A1 Abrams, and we can only fly one of those on a big plane. These cells have to get to the front lines, somehow, along with all the diesel generators (and fuel) to keep them charged. OR will we need a new global Geneva Convention agreement that solar cells and windmills are as protected as Red Cross vehicles, and not to be targeted.

Reminds me of the old Volkswagens. They had no gas gauge. You ran out of gas, you turn a knob and you had a gallon of gas to get to a station. Cut cut off a quarter of the battery to be turned on when you run out of power.

I have five "Gerry cans" sitting in my garage, because I have a truck, a Jeep, a lawnmower, a couple generators all that provide power to live each and every day. When each can is empty, it's practically weightless compared to "full", while batteries are just as heavy to carry "empty" as they are charged. The major mass of any "fueled vehicle" is 95% active frame, body, powertrain and suspention structure, while the major mass of the EV is "the battery pack", which is almost exactly the same, full or "empty". This doesn't even account for the fact it takes mere minutes to refuel the fueled car, and all the "electric Jerry can" is capable of supplying is the tiny percentage of "electric energy" it's fifty kilos of battery can hold, while demanding precisely the same charge time as the car itself demands. Simply get in a conventional vehicle and drive five hundred bucks worth of fuel and compare it to the EV drive of "five hundred bucks worth of charge" and count the miles behind, "the time on the road and the convenience that arrives each day "when charging the vehicle and it's "spare battery charges" one can actually carry with, going away from "charging stations" either at home, or along the way.

Very excellent jerrycan science MGUY, that can't be beaten.

Efficiency factor caparing petrol vs electric is about 3 to 1. Your asumption of 40%, 1/0,4=2,5, is slighty to good for petrol. The rest of your vid is spot on, bravo. The main disadvantage of "electrc jerry can" is that batteries tend to discharge themself after a few days sitting idle. A petrol jerry can stores fuel for years, no "phantom" losses here to see. Weight/energy is key in mobile applications. Not just in Formula 1 cars, every gramm counts. In everyday regular folks car usage, weight matters a lot too. EV's weigh 400-500 kg more than regular cars. No way, not even in 20 years, likely never, will an EV be able to compete in the weight/energy ratio.

no "phantom" losses? there actually are "phantom" losses in gaslione due to oxidation and evaporation. "pure gas begins to degrade and lose its combustibility as a result of oxidation and evaporation in three to six months if stored in a sealed and labelled metal or plastic container. Ethanol-gasoline blends have a shorter shelf life of two to three months."

One correction related to your jet fuel comment. I have an airplane that runs on 100 Low-Lead gasoline as most 1 to 6 passenger planes do, and another airplane that runs on 91 octane pump gas as many 1 and 2 passenger Light Sport airplanes do. The first plane weighs 2,100 LB fully-loaded with 2 people. It will cruise at 200 MPH burning 11 GPH. It has 210 HP and runs on 100 Low-Lead fuel available at virtually all US airports. The lighter plane weighs 1,220 LB fully-loaded with 2 people. Its 100 HP engine will cruise at 122 MPH burning 6 GPH of 91 octane automobile gas.

Even better than petrol/gasoline is E85 (flex fuel) consisting of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. It produces more power and much less harmful emissions than regular gasoline and is 25% cheaper than regular gasoline. All Ford EcoBoost and PowerBoost (hybrid) engines can use E85. The best solution for a powerplant that is currently available on the market is Ford's 3.5l PowerBoost engine available on Ford F-150 hybrid truck. At 5700 pounds, F-150 PowerBoost has an average 24/24/24 city/highway/combined US MPG (it should be close to 30 UK MPG), and when driven gently, can get up to 35 US MPG in the city!

I bought 1kW powerstation for the outdoors. It doesn't last much, but the great thing about it is you can quickly recharge it with diesel generator for pennies.

I wrote this in a comment to someone saying to me they know friends who havnt had any issues finding charge stations in Australia . I said all that proves is they are well organised and plan ahead and went on to say you can’t go for a drive and just hope to find one down the road if you’re running low. I finished off with the “jerry can” example. I was originally going to use 50kg as that’s what came to mind but shaved 20kg off for the sake of the other party’s sanity and mine. “As far as i know you cant rock up to a charge station and fill up a portable electricity receptacle (battery) if you go flat or break down in the middle of know here. Even if you could buy portable plug in batteries they’d weight a ton. A 30kg battery might get you 50km so definitely not practical or economical because carrying that extra 30kg drains a lo of that 50km of charge so it’s pointless.”
