Do you want cordyceps militaris ?
Awesome
I need to make a new video. A lot has changed
So much hard work! Amazing!
Thank you!
It really is more work than most people understand. There is a lot to it.
as an aside, I saw where a guy did a compare of substates and cordiceptin levels. Using black beans had a 4x concentration in the fruits and substrate than rice and oats. Paul Stamets extracts from the substrates also.
Yeah I’d like to know more about Paul’s method. I don’t understand the science or process. Is there info out there on that?
@@denhillfarmandfungi How to increase the level of Cordycepin content of Cordyceps militaris mushappy page has a substrate extraction and fruit extraction. Paul's labeling says they dehydrate the substrate also for production.
I have been pronouncing it hādēz (Greek mythology) either way had a lot of luck with two versions of hades
Dude you're inspiring
Thanks man. I got more cool videos coming.
Bro u sound like your on fentanyl wtf
Amazing!!! So much hard word and wisdom shared!
More to come!
Love nameko!!
They are the best
Why do you cook them?... can you just dry them?
All mushrooms need to be cooked for your body to digest them. You can eat a whole mushroom and find it later in tact. Cooking mushroom makes them bioavailable for your body to get all the benefits. All of our products on Etsy have been processed for maximum bioavailability
@@denhillfarmandfungi so if i ate a fresh or dried cordycep fruit i wouldnt feel much effect?... im asking because im trying to grow some out.
@mainecapnstem2832 cultures on that plate. Thanks mycowixzards And cap n stem!
Website says pick up only
We are working on a shipping website now
I would love to buy a bag. Is there somewhere to purchase?
I’m working on getting blocks, plug spawn and liquid culture up on Etsy. I do have our medicinal products up now. Thanks for the support
Do you have problems with the AC freezing up? What size AcC unit are you using
Yeah we have the system way different now and have a side by side fridge freezer defrost sensor across the front and a greenhouse thermostat hot wired directly to the compressor. Pull out all the computer crap
Go Hokies!!
Psychedelic mushrooms?
When you said oyster block I was thinking man... That looks more like mushrooms than oysters 😂😂 then hit me with the baby mushrooms.... There is only 1 mushroom I can stomach and.... Well.... Probably shouldn't grow those
They are very sweet, creamy and tenter. They don’t have the funk that most mushrooms have
who would ever want this
Who wouldn't
@ilovecocoandsheismybestfriend i think I got why would someone want this, I want one now!!
Lmao I got hungry for ice cream
*So amazingly quiet and **Fastly.Cool** in my room! 42db is at a whisper level. I bought 2 and installed myself.Very sturdy bracket and easy to adjust to fit windows of different size. Absolutely fabulous units!!*
I like the idea of the external thermostat on the wall, but assume you somehow don't have frost buildup issues on the cooling fins that block the fan?? I had a problem when cooling a warm room (ie. from 70 degrees to 40 degrees). The condenser would not go into a defrost cycle and the frost would build up and block the cage fan in the AC to the point where it would not turn. Also, the frost buildup on the cooling fins blocked air flow from the AC into the room, stopping the cooling action. I had to add a timer to the night light circuitry to force the condenser to shut off and defrost every hour or so.
I have done this, however I cannot seem to get the settings just right, I need to get the temp lower before the timer kicks it off, however im frosting up before then. I have an ink bird with a 3 degree differential and 5 min delay. Temp at 3, however it only ever gets to 7 based off an external thermometer
@@nelsontheseagull I don't know what an Ink Bird is, but with my window AC unit, I need to have the night light timer turn off at least every 30 minutes so that the compressor shuts off for at least 15 minutes and defrosts. This schedule, of course, depends on room size, size of AC unit, outdoor temperature, etc.
its been 6 years is it still working and if so how well??
Just buy A $20 thermostat receptacle
how to build the reversing switch
You can do this without the lightbulb. The temperature probe is a thermistor (verify that by checking the parts list!) That’s a resistor who’s value changes with temperature. Cut the wires to it and measure its resistance at a warm temperature. Then solder an ordinary resistor of that value across the wires. Save the thermistor in case you ever want to use the unit normally.
I agree, provided the temp. probe is indeed a thermistor. The minimum temp. setting on most window a/c units is 60 degrees F. Cut the wire to the probe. With an ohmmeter, find the resistance at both 60 and 32 degrees. The goal is for the a/c unit to detect a resistance value which is normally produced at 60, when the temp. is actually 32. The resistance in a thermistor decreases as temp. increases. Let's say the resistance @ 60 is 50ohms and 100ohms at 32 degrees. If you connect a 50ohm resistor across (in parallel) the probe leads, then the a/c controller will "see" 50ohms @ 32 degrees and "think" the temp. is 60 degrees. Then you can adjust the a/c temp. setting accordingly. ie: if you want 42 degrees then set at 70. Of course you'll have to fine tune by correlating with a thermometer. I think it's a good idea move the probe a few feet away from the a/c unit.
InkBird makes a controller for around $36 or so.
link?
Let me just post this video with no parts info, diagram, or ever come back to answer questions...
Dude this is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. Can you add a parts list?
Parts list and rough diagram would be much appreciated. This is absolutely on my to do list this summer
the average person doesn't have electrical know how lol
Folks, just head to the scrap yard and salvage a thermostat form a domestic fridge for free, then wire it into your window a/c unit, eliminating the a/c units temp control system and thermo couple altogether.
mitchell rose show us the way
Domestic or dometic?
NOW THERE IS A SMART FELLER .THANKS FROM ALASKA. NOW I NEED COOLER 1 BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING NO SNOW
Do you have to use a special kind of ac unit?
Great job!
I've used a slightly different idea, which is using a 5V heating element instead of a light bulb. You can buy those heating elements from Aliexpress for less than 3 bucks and they work great. there're many different sizes to choose from, but i found the 2"X2" to be very convenient. www.aliexpress.com/item/12V-DC-50mm-diameter-5W-Round-Flexible-Waterproof-Silicon-Heater-Pad-For-Oil-Tank-Electrical-Wires/32793518342.html
You could use a Ranco ETC 111000 controller to turn your bulb (heat source) on and off. They cost about $50. They are simple to use and you can program the temp and differential in it.
Way too much stuff. Put a freezer thermostat on the a.c. and let er RIP. If it gets too cold move it closer to the coils. Its not that complicated. I once turned an ice keeper box into a 12x12 walk in beer cooler that I later had to put a thermostat on to keep it from freezing.
As a novice "maker" can you help me understand what you are explaining here please. you can message me if that is easier. thanks a lot Gary!
Where's your KZread video?
What happens when you move it closer to the coils?
Arlyne Lauro It cools it down'there for reducing the temperature
You basically engineered an alternative to cool bot. I could be wrong but if this is something you can build and resale I think people would buy it from you. Maybe build one and sell it and eventually sell more at a time. Thanks for info I would buy this thing from you if you sold it gonna buy cool bot since it's plug and play lol. Most people aren't as smart as you I don't know what you do and the time too. Might take too much time for me to figure it out might end up failing buying cool bot at end. Peace G-d bless
This could be made soooo easily and inexpensively. The coolbot appears to be a high-end product, and the company is probably spending a lot on marketing, customer service, product features like multiple temperature sensors and displays, etc, so that's why it costs $300-$400. That's fine for them, but a simple product without all that could be made so ridiculously inexpensive.
Bro i hate to bust ur bubble But there was an even easier way of doing that...
Hi Ben, Any chance you could provide a part number/ make of the reverse switching relay? I think I know how to do the rest.
Very creative BUT the COOL CONTROLLER is much easier to use for $99.

VERY CLEVER jOE
Where does one get a COOL CONTROLER Please?
you can get it from my web jc-SolarHome
2 STC-1000 will do the exact same thing for only $40.
do you have a diagram of the wiring please
I watch videos for entertainment and education, this does neither.
I have not been able to find a reversing switch and I have checked with every electrical component supplier in our area! Could you please post who the manufacturer is and the part number? Thank you.
The "reversing switch" is just a relay with normally closed contacts, so that when the temp drops down the temperature set on the thermostat it powers the relay and opens the contact. When the temp raises above setpoint, the thermostat doesn't power the relay and then the normally closed contact closes.
Seems like it would be simpler to get a cheap temperature controller, power resistor, and a 12 power supply shipped to your door for 20 bucks. Someone needs to make an open source knock off for the overpriced temperature controller they sell for this.
What temperature did you manage to cool too? Did it vary much?
That looks like a great solution, as long as the night light bulb does not burn out. How do you prevent that from being an issue? Thanks for the video!
I've replace the night light twice in 5 years in my retrofitted AC unit. Just put the light where it is easily accessible (ie. outside the AC)
can you post close up pictures of reversing switch junction box and a parts list?
I bet if you took a decent sized deep freezer...put it in a small but extremely well/border line overly insulated shed...and left the freezer open with a fan inside ..might turn shed into walk in freezer?
Shawn Albritton, freezers dont quite work like that, freezers cool the inside but heat is dissipated from the coils along the back of the unit. So the room would most likely slightly raise in temp.
unless you cut a hole in the wall and sealed/insulated the radiator outside
This is what I am doing....had lightning zap an upright freezer, new computer got it running and cooling but it doesn't shut off (even down to -25°F on about the halfway setting). So, insurance paid for a replacement and the cost for getting this old one worked on....going to build a big insulated box to attach the freezer (without the door on it) to the box. I'll control the freezer with an external temp-controller, two stages for heating and cooling....will be able to cool in the warm months, maintain temps in the up and down temp days of fall, and then heat it in winter...all to maintain whatever temp I need. (this is the same I do for a fementation chamber with a dorm fridge, and a keezer with a chest freezer).
@@mthompson hi Miles! This is what I was planning to do for a walk-in deer freezer. How is it working for ya?
nice build!! I built one also, but used a refrigerator thermostat wired direct with one ac, and a regrigerator thermostat to control a light bulb for the other ac. have you noticed any problems with the ac icing up with yours?
I have icing issues when the outside temperature drops below freezing. Otherwise, my setup using a timer to control the night light, rather than a thermostat, achieves the same cooling effect.
