My battery powered leaf blower is not up to the task of removing all the leaves from my yard. So I bought the most powerful corded leaf blower I could find. It has a 12 amp motor @ 120 volts AC. But the cord is not fun. So I built a battery for it using a military backpack as the base. It will BLOW you away!
Toro Leaf Blower, model 51624 PowerJet F700 140 MPH, 725 CFM, 1,440 watts
I built the 48v battery in a previous video: • 48v Server Battery, Su... The battery is from Battery Hookup. Unfortunately, they are currently sold out of this exact battery. The key is to get high-amp discharge cells. An excellent alternative is this: batteryhookup.... Combine a few of these 12x LG packs for an even lighter, higher capacity pack. You may need to add your own BMS, which you can buy here: batteryhookup....

That is totally impractical and ridiculous. And totally worth it. I salute you! Fantastic job.

@DavidPozEnergy 3 года назад

Thanks. It was just a lot of fun to build.

@robertgiresi9515 3 года назад

OMG, this is so genius! I already own several outdoor corded power tools that I can use this for... snow blower, leaf blower, weedwhacker, pressure washer. I can even see this being useful if I ever want to make the switch from a gas powered lawn mower to electric. Perfect and cost effective over the long run! I can't believe I've never seen this before or anyone else come up with this idea. Love it!

David Poz comes to Hollywood for starring role in new "Leaf Busters!" movie. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd join the unemployed! Be interesting to see how tired you get after blowing down or up your hill. Just got to thinking after I wrote this. You got ice skates and a lake close by? Propulsion Unit elGrande!

@berendlensvanrijn386 3 года назад

You are brilliant. I did this with a whole dj system on my boat.. 2x 100ah 12v lithium batteries in series. 24v inverter and voila!!! It’s fun to have power everywhere!!

@stalwart56k 3 года назад

Shrieked with laughter on this one boss! Visual comedy and music was perfect! I've thought about doing this for a corded Oregon electric chain saw to cut trees deep in the woods. The corded version is more powerful.

There was a similar project in a book from a few years back... give or take 30 or 40. Was about making a type of bag that had a battery attached that you would plug tools into. Also recall the same book teaching you how to recharge non rechargeable batteries as well as giving a very tame explosion, fire and death warning. Was an interesting book; if I remember the name then I'll post it as I'm sure some might enjoy it.

@blueb4829 2 года назад

I'm going to reluctantly give you a like because it's not plugged into a wall but still plugged in, albeit to a device on your back. Looks more like a battery-powered blower, which is already available at the store.

@leclavs9835 2 года назад

I am so amazed with your ideas and creativity Sir! very nice job!

@jontscott 3 года назад

Nice solution but I think using two of those ~57v DC batteries in series without the inverter would have been better... you can also take three 40v tool batteries in series. The universal motors in the leaf blowers work just fine with DC or AC I have found. I ran my 120v AC leaf blower on about 80v DC for a while, then I eventually just bought a nice all in one cordless leaf blower that just works.

@PappyNet01 2 года назад

I agree with TrackGeeks - awesome and entertaining video! I just purchased the Toro Power-Jet F700.

@captainobvious9188 3 года назад

You could replace that leaf blower motor with some serious RC-based beast.

@richardwasserman 3 года назад

@jdeadman 3 года назад

I have done something similar with my corded Weed wacker. But since the 120V is alternating you only need about 80V DC to get the same if not more speed. Way lighter and more efficient

@laurentallenguerard 3 года назад

Hoping you won't blow up the inverter after prolonged continuous power draw. My 5000W blew up after 1-2 hours of consecutive 1800W chainsaw work. I have the parts to repair it soon.

@musicwiz40 3 года назад

@@DavidPozEnergy i think he's actually being serious lol... but he kind of does bring up an honest point. A backpack sized lithium generator with a large AC capability would be pretty cool!

@realvanman1 3 года назад

LOL! A fun video! Alternatively, since the series motor in that blower would run perfectly well on direct current, you could eliminate the inverter altogether and put two more of those 48 volt batteries in it’s place. Similar weight and bulk, three times as much run time, and, at 150 volts, a bit more power! You may need a better switch in the blower, or at least a condenser across the stock one, to successfully interrupt the DC when switching it off. THAT would be FUN!!

@bmay8818 3 года назад

Or you could, you know, use a rake... Cool build to be sure! I just don't understand why people are so dead set on not raking, which is essentially free and a decent workout. And this is coming from someone in the rainy pacific northwest, where your dry leaves are an adorable luxury!

@davidellenberger3852 3 года назад

Hehe. The reliable inverter has a trimmer where you could try 130V. Could be interesting!

@DialM4Microcontrollr 3 года назад

You could leave the inverter out of the equation if you mod your leaf blower to run on DC. Seems that would remove a bit of weight

@cbreezy1322 10 месяцев назад

You're having too much fun. Well had. I looked for an adapter to run from USB to female so I could try to see if this big cell phone power thing would work for a while. I guess no one has invented it yet

@dougbarrett7803 3 года назад

@JRP3 3 года назад

Did you consider using a larger higher voltage battery for the original cordless blower? Higher voltage should make the motor spin faster and the larger battery would not have as much voltage sag, and you wouldn't have the losses from the inverter. Of course the motor might not like it if you go too high with the voltage.
