Ive work for a company that develops irrigation equipment solely on water and solarpower. Also we work with smallholder farmere. I am able to learn also how smallholder farmers grow all different foods. To pump with waterpower and solarpower is a bit finiky compared with a fuel pump. We work towards removing the finiky and it is a rewarding goal and the work is very interesting.

Can you automate the search for a purpose?

These orange flowers look really nice now. Have you thought of other ground cover plants instead of grass if you are that allergic? What do you mean with natives? Other plants between the grass?

Well, I was working on laying a 4in isolated flexible airpipe to go from the first floor, through an airshaft aside the chimney down to the first floor to heat the ground floor with the stove on the first.floor (our living and bed room). Bought a thermal camera to see results (and winter optimization) but nothing happened. Turned out the pipe had ruptured inside the air duct. Now have to redo the work... At least I do not have to finish it tomorrow

Nice question to ask. As usual too many projects to cover in this short time 😁.

Closing the lower part of the serre for the winter upcoming. Creating a hatch out of too small hinges but these were available. Also made a rack under there to place the double winter windows which are exchanged in the winter for muskito windows from the summer. Working with wood is very fun.

I am also working on making a small duct to displace heat generated by stove on the first floor to the groundfloor. Have some difficulties finding a right thermostat that turns on over a certain temperature. Unfortunately photo upload is not working for me ATM otherwise I would have shared.

Curious to see the process and generation. Please update us for milestones or better yet energystones.

Indeed, his videos are interesting in that he shows a lot. His laughing makes me impatient sometimes. Also I wonder with an airturbine like that, how does it perform under load. And a flywheel attached would be interesting

Thanks, nice to know trick of the trade. Now to look for copper sulfate where to get

A bit of hoax story to be honest. Two questions come to mind. How is the police able to access camera and microphone? As far as my knowlegde the security of the OS on the phone is quite tight. Maybe apple or Google have built in a backdoor but 5 years ago they were quite resistive towards governments. Also the legislation of EU is quite tight on privacy where cameras are not allowed to be used for tracking individuals. So police is not able to use the information in court.

It was a nice read although a bit short. I wanted to continue. A very good sign, thanks

Good tip @Mike D. I want to make lightpoints for my house and sauna house in near future as it's get autumn and winter here. So I will now look for a yellow glass screen for these lights. The yellow I also like more for the warmth. Hope I have bought lights with good CRI which have larger color frequency range and give more natural yellow as result

Ah I also have ahouse from 1930's which is mostly wood and gets attacked from many angles, insects, water damage etc. Most of the time it is 'ignore' to be able to focus on single projects. If you do one small thing in the house everytime it will be enough right 😅

The video was nicely made. So much effort and material to gain views only... But nicely made with the shaking when starting the generator and then a sound taking over. the constant rpm with an angle grind turning on was unfortunately not well implemented. Maybe just enough flaws implemented to keep it at the satire level.

Likewise. But i must say that i am a dutchman living in LT. Itsepresau 😅

That is a nice small setup. The air pump is a small brushed pump? Why are you still using a buckbooster if the voltage is already 5v from panel and the airpump need 5v? Will the solar panel deliver in morning and evening not the 5v but 3v?. I am suprised that a 5v airpump exist and that it is able to pump air into water (as that cost quite some pressure to overcome)

Some of the packages were eaten out by mice but most Ive cleaned with putting water in and let it soak and flush. Then dried by nature as it was nice weather. Dogs would like to still steal and lick out though 😷

The use of electrical construction vehicles in the Netherlands is due to the following. We have a maximum nitrogen output level at certain locations. Tenders given to construction companies require the use of electric construction vehicles to prevent going over that level.

Haha, it's an idea 💡

Just wanted to share a likewise iron powder battery. I have read something of a battery with iron particles being developed in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. But in retrospect after reading the article the powder is used for combustion but the regeneration or derusting is done by electricity from hydrogen or something like that source.

Yes, that mixup of energy is what could be done. Unfortunately there is zero wind here. Ive looked into heating by composting (not enough organic matter), geoheat (expensive), and yes battery tech such as flow batteries are not diy enough for me. Ive looked into phase changing materials for thermal bstteries, but only looked you know.
