Great stuff. Salud a tu familia y a todos en Puerto Rico.

Keep going maaaan !

Integrate with one 12v 100ah battery and it could run for days. I love this when you prove ideas like this work.

I dont care about the night, i have electricity for the night.. i just wanna reduce my electricity cost by running things on solar during the day time and i thought super capacitors will be perfect for this. And when i searched i saw your video on RU-vid. You already have the proof of concept! Thanks man.. Do you mind shearing the schematic for the super capacitor board please?

Check the brushes on that skill saw.

Good idea to add batteries as that gives alot more options to the table..

Some switches and busbars added and you can use the capacitors in the day while some batterys charge and then near sundown when the caps drain flip them off and flip the batterys on.

Nice intro..

Very nice video.

good job

Thank you for sharing 🙏....batteries need long time to charge and long time to discharge. Whereas capacitors faster charge faster discharge. So they can work together. You didn't mention "KW"..

Congrats Javier.!

Wonderful please keep me info. Great idea. Thank you.

For got to tell. That the truck stop. Marker lights (the ones with three led lamps) make better than "nothing"ceiling lamps. there is enough light to not run into the furniture. And great pourch lights. They make poweroutages which happens here often in my Tennessee hamlet safer scares the thieves away.

I love this idea. Super Cap's are amazing and I'm so glad someone is experimenting with real world projects using them. Thank you!

An exercise bike hooked to an alternator could charge the caps, possibly wind power or a hydro wheel.

I do not use any expensive & sensitive batteries anymore. I use 4x supercaps banks à 6x500F. For my 24V inverter, two in serie and other two in parallel. A 4000W pure shine inverter works great @ 30V. A 2500W watercocker is no problem for these powerful powercaps. Wow!

You should build a wind mill generator. But you need a stronger inverter to power those larger amperage sucking tools!

this can work really well with small hydro generator

Muy bueno... Mi like fue el numero 1000...!!

I noticed the video is 5 years old, as my practical Hobby, I'm in the process of adding a super capacitor subsystem in parallel with my 12 volt 2000 watt solar system. I've been running my refrigerator with several different batteries including a 50 amp, 100 amp and 200 amp. When I first purchased the 100 amp battery and charge them full, they produced enough amperage to get my refrigerator started consistently. As the battery has aged I'm noticing issues with the refrigerator startup. I'm looking for advice regarding what capacity of a super capacitor would be the best for this specific application. I'm not real clear on charging the capacitors and would appreciate any feedback on ways to charge the super capacitors from the solar systems output. Thank You

It's been over a year now, have you tried other projects with the supercapacitors? I'm only asking because I didn't see other videos. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

Very interesting indeed. I'll try a super cap solar system.

Good day bro, That's so much for the demonstration. It's been so helpful.i am working on a project and would need the supercapacitor with inverter battery to power an induction motor. Please you will need your email for further conversation. I will reply appreciate your favourable reply. Thanks

Took me a while to come up with the word solar capacitor. I believe solar capacitors have a longer life than batteries. I only want to use batteries in the middle of the night.

Been contemplating a similar system for my boat, keep up the good work and please elaborate on the kind of capacitors etc

GD IDEA. YOU MAY NEED A BIGGER INVERTER. ALSO I SAW WERE THEY ADD CAPACITORS TO BATTERY BANKS FOR THE POWER NEEDED.

Could use old 12v car batteries, essentially a 12v car battery cells degrade, but It's still capable of storing and producing voltage to charge < super capacitor bank > this is where the super capacitors could take over as long as the car battery is over 2v the super capacitors could still draw usable power? I make this assumption as i did this before when desperate, by connecting 2 old 12v battery's in parallel e.g. 8v + 9v to jump start my car ;)

Chevere!!

Hello brother, (Me Hermano), Greetings from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Great video and you are definitely on to something very powerful. I don’t know much, but you have my wheels turning here. 😉 You run into the nighttime usage problem. Did you look into charging a lithium ion/lithium iron or better yet (maybe) a large super capacitor, as a reserve/standby power source, that only charges in the day, and then is your power source at night? Namaste and keep up the great work, Nathan. 😍🙏🏼🇨🇦

Nice concept, but why build it in a box and have outlets but then use it with lid open and wires hanging over the edge 🤔

Can this system run refrigerator whole day? Does it give steady current in presence of sun light?

just add a hand crank charger and forget the solar panel.

good video, where's the lithium ions?

Any updates on this build. Or a reliable source for solar panels

Hi sir, if we connect supercapacitor parallel to solar panel so after full charging supercapacitor will it damage capacitor

I'm looking at powering some lights and 3D printers in my shed during the day. I don't want to use batteries.

That is a great idea! so when there is sun you will have plenty of power, are there any really cheap batteries that cannot handle alot of current but have enough storage to make it run small things during the night? like have the capacitors handle the surge power but the batteries handle the long term amp draw?

Can we use it for AC ? As it needs a sudden surge of current

Saludos acabo de ver tu reportaje que hicieran, presido una organizacion sin fines de lucro en Bayamon apoyando comunidades rurales socialmente luego del paso del huracan Maria... nos interesaria coordinar contigo si estarias disponible ha ofrecer algun taller en persona como recurso a algunos de nuestros residentes... Si puedes contestarme en privado con informacion si esto es posible y los costos... Mil gracias por todo lo que haces por ayudar a otros.

This could work with sand battery using smaller solar panel (spares and old ones) maximum heat no damaged batteries brilliant thanks

How about using batcap instead.

I'm actually looking into making a similar small lightweight power solution by combining the super capacitors with 26650 rechargeable batteries for a long-term emergency situation.

What is the capacity of your system when it is fully charged?

Supercaps are very compact burst of power i.e current. They ve however very low power density. Your project would be exponentially stable when a compatible battery is combined. Hybrid Supercap- batteries are more robust than either of the storage media.

Great idea homey!! I'd love to see another collaboration with you and Jehu but this time, do a large SuperCap deployment for real-time use but with battery backup for nighttime. Such a great idea, we'll done! Congrats on 1k subs!!

Are the solars abe to charge the caps while powering up a device simultaneously?

Hi. In an emergency you can keep the fridge cold like this. Put some bottles of water In the fridge for thermal ballast. During the day, turn the fridge down to its coldest setting to chill the contents and the ballast. At night, switch off the power, it will stay cold with the door shut while you sleep. Repeat next day.

Sweet

Hi Javier. The 600 watt inverter will draw 50A when it is running a 600W load. The caps store charge Q=CV Cs in series divide, like resistors in parallel, so C of the 6 caps in series is really 83 farads. 83Fx12V is about 1000 coulombs of charge. Since charge Q=IxT we calc 1000C/50A=20 seconds for one string of 6 caps., so the more strings of 6 you can put in that box, the longer you can run the inverter. 2 strings of caps in parallel should hold up for 40 sec. 600Wx40sec is 24000 watt-sec, but you want watt hrs! Need to divide by 3600 sec in an hr. 24000/3600 is 6 watt-hr. Thats a 6 watt bulb for an hr. Need many more 6 cap strings to run the cooler all night. Also, should have 600watts of panels to keep the 600 watt inverter running. Numbers dont lie.

Great stuff Javier! The only limitation with Caps is the discharge rate. They can't sustain long run like batteries. I've tried all gymnastics with them. My next experiments with SupCaps will be geared towards 12VDC fridges, irons and other household appliances. Then no need for inverters. A Pulse mode circuit could be used at the output to secure more running time. By the way, is it a genuine Pure Sinewave Inverter you are using? Where did U buy it? Thumbs up Javier. We are on the right track.

Your on the right track. Not to say I have not gone dry on my home made system.(solar/lead acid) how ever it's quite trustworthy. It supports, tv, radio, computer fan, and house lighting needs for 14 years.( Never bought a dime's worth of Ac here) Keep it up om. And via con dios. De kv4li. Ps never turn down old computers as they have the most perfect fan. Low consumption on DC and seems they never die. That's right they get tossed out without regard of its assets. And don't be afraid to box up old auto radios add speakers you have a home entertainment center that just keeps giving. 73

Excelente. Muy amable por compartir. Si le añade una batería de litio, esta mantendría los capacitores y estos se encargarían de dar potencia a los artefactos. Pienso colocar 12 paneles de 300 Watts, nonocristalinos y un inversor Growatt de 4 Kilowatts. Con cuatro baterías de 48v, 150 Amp, en paralelo con un banco de supercapacitores Maxwell 3000f, 2.7v. En si, es un sistema híbrido. Para dar energía a la casa. En la noche, cuando no exista energía solar, siguen los capacitores dando energía, junto con las baterías de litio. Al cesar la energía, el inversor, le dará acceso a la red pública. Si Dios lo permite y sale bien, se lo haré saber, como una forma de gratitud, por usted compartir sus conocimientos y descubrimientos. Dios lo bendiga y a su familia.

Muy buen video compañero. Yo estoy en la fabricación de un generador solar pero con una batería que fabrique con 18650 pero he llegado a un punto al cuán no sé cómo avanzar y me gustaría pedirte ayuda para la conexión del bms y el cableado hacia el regulador y el inversor. ¿Podrías ayudarme a terminar mi proyecto por favor?

If you can make simple diy voltage pump from scratch it can afford 95-98% of your capacitors. Than it can work efficiently even without the battery, or even better if add some batteries.

Amazing videos on your channel,Javier..... Let's hope the Gofundme link starts to ramp up and your subscriber totals grow toward your new goals..God Bless always..Power to Puerto Rico...

I need an snswer.. how much capacitor array need to power a full home eg: 100wh...

the future is in these super capacities to get out of battery use because I do not have many tools to experiment with these capacitors I started with 10farad 2.7V x 12 regularly to get a voltage of 32v as my sinus inverter works on 24v LF with the EGS002 and 20 MOSFET transistors in the output - converter I made and run 2000W, I have a bank of 18650 batteries 21 per cell x7 cell-29V maximum i want to throw out and transfer to capacitors

Orientación

This looks awesome. I would've loved to be able to run my fridge at least during the through Maria.

I love your project .pleas You can put batteries any .ex 18650 it will charge slow with solar but at night with the capacitor put diode between the batteries an capacitor directly connected to the fridge the batteries will help maintain it's capacity as a solar .tx😉

Congrats on 1k subs! You make great videos and do great work. You'll hit 100k in no time!

What IF...you added a battery backup - not for running, but for the CAPS? As in, instead of running the power straight to the caps, run it to a little battery pack and THAT to the caps? I was also wondering what would happen to grid power usage if you ran the 110 (or 220) through a step down converter to a cap bank to an inverter...you'd have a steady 12 volts all the way to the inverter. I just read something about something in all of that actually BENEFITS from some fluctuation in voltage but I don't remember if it was the super capacitors or the inverter...I think it was the capacitors but it wasn't the information I was looking for so I just glossed over it...which I am now regretting...poop. And again, wondering, about 2 cap, series-wired mini packs wired together in parallel. It would still be 6 caps in 5.4V bites in 3 pairs for 16.2V but twice the capacitance...right? Twice the farads? Amps? Couldn't you use smaller caps? ETA: I don't use a charge controller. Although, I am considering repurposing an automotive voltage regulator between my 18V PV and cap pack and moving the step down inverter between the caps and inverter...As in going PV>VR>caps>converter>inverter - instead of PV>converter>caps>inverter. An automotive voltage regulator doesn't cut off at 12V exactly - and I haven't checked, but I doubt the converter does either so...I think whatever benefits from some fluctuation to stir up the electrons - right, it was the caps - I think that might get the job done...I guess I'll find out, eh?

Someone did a 2000 watts solar super cap system, which could run power tools. But he used a lot more caps. Look at this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YMKojcYP7QQ.html

YOU ALREADY KNEW THE SIZE OF THE HOLE WHY THE F**K DID YOU USE THE MARKER???????????????????

Great project! What was the watt hour capacity for this module?

Maybe add a wind turbine supplement the power? Works day & night.

Bene continua così

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice video, i have had my thoughts about something similar, but with a twist. I have a 40a mppt and a 12v 250a lifepo. My panels are a bit oversized. Id like to switch to 24 or even 48v to get more watt from my panels, but.. the price on batteries is an issue. So, my thoughts.. plugging a cap in the mppt that can handle 60vand plugging a dc dc buck step down 48v->13,8v 80a converter. I got a 44k mfd cap but it think it might be too tiny. It can handle up to 100vdc thou. I dont have the buck and im wonder if it will work or if its a waste of money. Do you have some spare parts to test it in a video? Anyway, thanks, love the vid :). Edit. Was planning to use a 3$ LVD with a dc dc SSR to turn off feeding to the buck if needed if volt got too low on the cap.

hello javier please send the links to this music thanks!

Saludos cuanto cuesta mandar a hacer ese invento contigo ??? $$$$

Hola... quería preguntarte si está combinación te parece puede funcionar: Batería súper condensador Maxwell 16V 500F 6 piezas 2.7V 3000Faradios con estuche.El Inversor convertidor de tensión sinusoidal puro 8000W 12V 24V 48V - 230V. o 6200W Hybrid Off-Grid Solar Inverter MPPT 120A 220/230V 48V 500V Pure Sine Wave Muchas gracias 😊

"Solar system" Is something different in my vocabulary!

That music intro is not loud enough.

What's the great idea behind using supercapacitor in place of battery ?

I still cannot figure farad to actual work meaning.... Since obviously your ebay links are meaningless now, what was the price and your system configuration??!

A capacity system would help on panels on the move...I tried making a solar trailer for my bike but the trees and constant shading, kept screwing with the charge of the batteries... I just wish they made supercapacitors at a higher voltage... So this is a 170 F cap?

It wont ruin capacitors as compared to solar batteries when power is drain during the night?

If you put that system with on grid inverter could reduce the electricity bill. it could be?

I love your idea can you atleast give me some advice and give the plan the devices and brand you used in this project of yours..

Also you can had wind power so that if its a windy night, you can create at night also!

Do i need bms for super capacitor?

Why did you mark the box when you cut out the whole circle anyway . Also a black sharpie on a black box... great video I like people who try new things. Good job..

It will start the fridge, but you don't say how long it will run. I would say, maybe half an hour. that's not very useful. You would need many more capacitors to make this a practical solution.

Are you using 24v inverter sir?

if you trying this capacitor with out solar panel in the night it will be shutdown after 10 min because each capacitor he will not giving you more than 40w in the 1 min .... so you will lose too much money and nothing to do because i see some one in youtube he make tested this capacitor

well, I do agree that it is interesting technology and eventually you may be able to develop something very useful - but for $400.00 I can get a 3 Kw gasoline generator. It has a way to go.

A solar generator without batteries? Amazing. Except that batteries don't generate electricity. They store it. Lost me on the opening staement.

Now buy a deepcycle battery and connect the terminals now its way better

This is the best for camper vans

you need a MPPT solar charge controller in order to really use the power of those solar panels. The PWM that you has really poor efficiency.

I like your video so far but I thought your voice was too low of a volume to hear then the music volume was way too high.

Hi Javier can you give me the brand or where can i buy the super cap?

I hope you can help me.i have a 5kva 48v solar installation I'm totally off grid. What I want to know is what capacitor's and how/where do I install them to take up the power surge that occurs when my fridges, borehole and other pump's kick in. Please let me know if you have any clever ideas. Thank you God bless and enjoy.

I am also working on one of these but the problem is to find an inverter that will take in a voltage all way down to zero. A typical 12V inverter will go down to 10v and then not work anymore but in capacitors the voltage is in linear relation to charge. So going from 15V to 10V you only use 33% of the charge, after the point you can't use it anymore.
