Monitoring Energy Usage In Your Home
I am going to be focusing on something that hits more people at their homestead. With today’s rising energy rates and the complex fee structures you can be smacked with some pretty insane bills. Electricity is one of the easier ones to monitor so I’m going to be focusing on some ways I’m attempting to […]

All Ceramic Bearings for a 450 Sized Electric Helicopter
A while back when I replaced my eFlite Power 90 brushless motor bearings with some ceramic ball bearings from Boca. Shortly after BocaBearings friended me on YouTube and I took the opportunity to ask them a few questions about R/C helicopter bearings. When I asked what it would cost to replace the bearings with ceramic […]

Very Large Home Made Lithium Polymer Battery Pack
I was sent this video from Chris Luxembourg called BATTERY OR WELDING MACHINE. (He has since closed his youtube account and the videos are no longer available!) He built this monster Li-Poly pack for his Lowracer project, a hybrid/electric super-efficient bicycle. Bicycle may not be the appropriate name for the thing. Looking at some of […]

Home Made High Voltage Rectifier Using Series Strings of Diodes
I needed some high voltage diodes for a project I am working on. Below is information on how to build a few different types and maybe go a bit overboard. Recently I have been working on rebuilding my energy storage capacitor discharge setup and needed a full wave rectifier bridge for my neon sign transformers. […]

Some Explosive High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Videos
I grabbed up some of my high voltage videos from my laser site and compiled them into a compilation for you to view. A quick description of the capacitor discharge setup follows. Power Source: 15kV 30mA Neon Sign Transformer using a full wave bridge rectifier. Each stage was built of 30 1n4007 diodes wired in […]
