Hi, my name is Kevin. I like to test things out. I wanna see if what they say is true. But also I just like to have fun. You never know what I might have on my channel. Solar, fishing, laser stuff, who knows. I’m also into audio equipment. I’ve got 3000 W for a home audio system. It’s awesome for movies, maybe someday I’ll show it to you. Well, anyway, I would love to thank all my subscribers. I had no idea that what I like other people liked also. I hope to make more videos that you would enjoy. And as always, thank you for watching
Saw another guy showing how he got 7.8 to 8.4 amps direct from two solar kits that were the black plastic framed ones from harbor freight. He bout an additional charge controller separately from harbor freight and it only put on about five amps as you are. He went direct to battery with the panels and it showed the higher 8 amp zone and when he used in charge controller from one of the two kits it gave him that 8 amp output the same as going direct. But the additional one he bought thinking it may work better with two kits into one controller only put out about 5 amps. So your getting different results than he unless he used the other additional controller he bought extra from HF
@@jonathanblack1416 I found that the original charge controller worked better than the 500 W. I actually ran 3-100 W kits through one charge controller and it did just fine. That new 500 W controller didn’t work as good as the original.
@@Checkitfirst Wow 😮 That’s amazing to me to hear. That’s great intel shared. Thanks for letting me know🙏🏼 Now we can wonder how much the one original can handle lol three is pretty nice though
@@Checkitfirst Oh. Okay 👌 So that’s what to look at is the fuse to know the truth then. Didn’t even think it. That’s great intel again. Thanks Checkit 🙏🏼
I bought one of these exact same turbines a few years ago. It never produced a single Watt hour, even after trying several charge controllers and 40mph winds. I ended up doing a chargeback on my credit card for the 599GBP I wasted on it :(
@@Strutty1956 Same here. They refunded my money except for the $50 that it would take for me to send it back so I got to keep it and got a refund because all it is is something to look at it doesn’t work.
I am upgrading my router to a similar corded router on my Genmitsu-4040 Pro. I'm a complete dummy at wiring and electricity and I cannot find a good walkthrough. Do I need to mess with the black box on the back of my X-rail? (Black box says - Probe/Airlaser/ spindle /x-y cable)
😢😢 Why ever living thing deserves a life free from oppression, free from fear, free to run, swim, fly, crawl and look at you killing a creature God created for a purpose this is so sick on so many levels 🤬
Oh Benjamin Bailey. Such a sweet human whose heart is certainly in the right place (not being condescending). But honey- they’re flies. (It’s the musical choice that’s getting to you, I think. I bet you’re super sensitive to/moved by music!) Sure, everything has a place in this great big system we’re all part of- flies included- but they don’t frolic.. or emote in any way. They don’t have the brain capacity, the cns (or even the lifespan) for any of that. They’re not here to grow learn and experience. They have short lifespans and exist for two purposes only- to break down filth- and to reproduce. They operate on “instinct” basically, and they don’t experience pain. Rather something called nociception- which causes insects to avoid tissue damaging stimuli but it isn’t pain as you or I (or other more evolved/complex creatures) understand it. What they are capable of- however unknowingly- is being a pestilence and a vector for spreading sickness, filth and disease. They have to be kept in check. As more evolved creatures it’s our jobs to make sure that happens. To protect ourselves, each other and animals from that. I’m not a big fan of watching things die either- or killing things (I’m almost 100% kill free- besides flies and mosquitos- and don’t usually use pesticides- I prefer my space to work by the system nature intended- but when the balance is disrupted- and the system gets way out of control- as the flies are right now-it’s our job to restore that balance) particularly when it’s-I dunno- dramatic (?) like this- disturbing to watch them jitter around. Anyway, save yourself the unpleasant emotions. There’s enough to be sad about without adding flies to the list. This stuff works quickly enough (that’s the reason I’m here watching- to make sure it isn’t a drawn out process). Which is more than can be said for the sickness and disease flies can (and do) spread far and wide!
No. A battery is needed to store the energy. The voltage on the solar panels are too high and they’re not strong enough to actually operate a device such as an AC. You could get away with running a DC motor with just the panels during the day, but of course it all depends on the weather, but the solar panels were designed mainly to store energy in a battery bank or to use as a grid tie to offset your power bill
I can’t believe this! I hate flies! But when u saw this, I Felt sad😢. What the heck is wrong with me! I’m an extremely compassionate woman, but come on! Does this work for roaches? I have water bugs, (related to roaches), I’m a very clean person, but every spring/summer they return
It activates an external source like lights or something like that. It produces a voltage that your system is using. If you are on a 12v system then it will produce 12v. It’s basically just a switch. Underneath the button are a positive and negative connection. That is your output to power on whatever it is that you connect to it. Be aware that it only has a 10 amp max rating.
@@Checkitfirst Thank you very much for your concise and to the point explanation. This is very helpful to someone who is not well versed in solar/electrical setups but I'm learning thanks to you!
after developing this squeak on my 4040 pro i found that one of my Y axis was out of line with the other. jog it to the point where the squeak is and move the offending side a tiny tiny bit forward or back with the knob on the motor till the squeak is gone.
the end of the negative pinch clamp from the charge controller to the battery actually melted on my setup, so i replaced all the wires with no 8 stranded copper wire. i had already read the stock wires would get hot while running if you have multiple panels connected in parallel so i was not surprised. matter of fact. just to alleviate any future possible problems , i ran no 8 wire from the 400 watt board connector to the charge controller to boot. i had thought there was a arrow flashing showing it was taking juice and sending it to bat/load but now it just reads the voltage and amps going to battery and amps going to load depending on the times i push button on left. i am wondering if its supposed to show an arrow flashing or was that a different controller i had used ? anyone out there who has one of these i am wondering if yours had a arrow flashing on your controllers screen while its working in the sun?

@Kathyoftheglade I have both sides of the Y axis set off of the ends exactly the same amount using my micrometers, still the grinding sound, it works fine though lol
MPPT in my opinion is better when running your panels in series or using higher voltage panels. If you’re only using a small 12 volt system then PWM is really all you need.
I was wondering what the specs are on your deep cycle battery in video? I have a 690 marine cranking amp with 92 AH. Was thinking bout buying another to run parallel but not too sure yet. Also are you running 2/0 AWG cables on inverter??
Yes. When I first got the cnc,, I noticed right away that something wasn’t right with the z. I contacted them and they sent me another one. It was the same. A couple of months later I saw the new one on Facebook and contacted them about it and they sent it to me. It’s a lot better.
Yes @@CheckitfirstI got the new Z assembly when I ordered mine. Very happy with it. I had no idea that the Lil 17. Motors could do 80"a minute. I thought me running them at 40 was pushing it
@@Checkitfirst im wondering what kind of results im going to get doing a topography relief carving at those speeds. guess I will find out this weekend after i install the x-y extensions. also waiting on some new collets as i cannot find my 1/4' anywhere.
*All practical tests show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity! And only at very high costs!* Because there is hardly any wind close to the ground. It is also extremely gusty, which usually shortens the service life. Only if you need to be self-sufficient from the power grid, you should have the largest possible wind turbine for the winter on a high mast. *With solar modules, on the other hand, you can reliably generate green electricity for 25 years at approx. 3-10 cent/kWh!*
I do like my solar panels. Testing stuff out because we do plan on moving to the country within the next three years and I would just like to have some experience playing around with all sorts of stuff such as this because I plan on having it on our property.
get rid of the buss bars ? and toss the lead acid stuff also make sure you have a blue light on the top of the panels if it is light blue or no light it's bad
The bearings in my Z axis are kind of sloppy and there’s a lot of vibration so I used some tapered door shims and slid one on each end until it just ever so slightly snug up and it helps a lot. I have since replaced that z assembly with the new updated one. Works a lot better now.
Don't know what SSR you used but typically you don't want to use a SSR on a reactive load like a router. An SSR used with an inductive load can accidentally fire due to a high load voltage rise rate (dv/dt) unless it's designed to do so with a snubber circuit etc. A SSR is really only advantageous if the load is switching at a high frequency like a resistive load on a PID controller.
Don't mean any disrespect. Not saying it won't work. Just saying that it could be an issue depending on the SSR and that there's really no advantage to using this over a standard relay. The duty cycle is so low the relay contacts will last forever. Automation controls is my daily gig and we don't use SSR's to control inductive or capacitive loads. Glad it's working for you though.
@@user-rw7xn3fo1t It is one that was recommended to me. I bought it through Amazon. I really don’t know the difference between one or another. I know how to hook them up, but I really couldn’t give you any details other than it’s just an AC DC relay. It uses a DC voltage to activate it at 24 V and it switches over the AC side to operate the router that’s about as far as my intelligence goes lol
What witchcraft is this? My 40watt takes 3 passes at 100% to get through 3mm birch ply! I’ve measured the focal length & aligned the mirrors so much it hurts.
Just buy 100 watt solar panel from harbor freight and u should get 6 amps ..for 120 bucks or spend 179 for the kit and get shit panels make 5 amps maybe 6 either way 50 bucks there u could just buy 200 watts lol..
Do you (or anyone) know if that first number is programmable? Mine hits 12.9 by 10:30am and just stops. All the other numbers are programmable but seems to be no way to program that first screen
These controllers are not programmable. That first number or readout is the state you’re battery is in. It goes up when charging. At night,, whatever it is reading is what voltage your battery is at. When you see 12.9, are you using the battery at the same time it is charging?
I am looking forward to test it. Today I should receive my air assist nozzle and air pump. What flow rate is your pump ensuring? Mine's should be theoretically 70l/min.
If that's a 100 ah lead acid or agm battery then you're only getting 50 ah worth of out of it because if you go below 12 volts you're going to damage that battery and 12 volts is 50% of the battery so you can Figure 1 1/2 hours of running that air conditioner.
You are correct. In the beginning I figured 100 amp hours is what you got not realizing that I don’t even get 50%. It’s more like 30%. you need a crap load of lead acid batteries? Lithium is coming in the future
