DIY Hand Crank Capacitor BoostBox Starts V6 - Hand Crank BoostPack 

Man you should design a commercial unit for people to jump cars with a little cranking. It could save lives.

Truly some awesome energy conversion there.. whether hand cranking over time to facilitate a quick power hungry jump start or when you used the drill, which was definitely something to step back and sort of go "whoa" over. This is one of those things everyone needs to own. These would also be great for people in countries with poor power distribution. Someone could just ride a bike generator for a little while to have some light, or even run an inverter for a little while like you did for various devices. If I was in that kind of situation I'd pedal my brains out and just look at it as daily exercise.

I just wanted to thank you for sharing all of the amazing things that you do with the rest of us. You research is truly inspiring.

My buddy had this steering wheel with a ball attached like you would find on a sport fishing boat. The attached ball or knob allowed for amazing grip of the wheel during the action of the big blue tuna bight . I say all that to say that I could not imagine a better hand crank than that setup. I love your videos!

this is an amazing jump starter kit thingy, you dont have to worry about keeping it charged!

I had this idea for 2-3 years. I am glad that somebody finally did it. Mine ivolves a solar panel, and I hope that soon I will have time to post it on Instructables.... Thanks for the great video, and your hard work!

Love projects like the one you made, making your own energi is always interesting to me.

Great demo ! It's incredible what super capacitors can hold nowadays. That should increase your solar product line quite quite substantially.

So awesome! Thanks for sharing. I can see so many uses for this. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, and this morning it is -30c with a -40c wind chill. There are so many times when even having the block heater plugged in doesn't make a difference when the battery is basically a block of acidic ice. A little further North of where I am, a dead battery could mean a dead driver in the winter. This little device could save a lot of lives in the future! Great job!

Ten minutes of cranking is not bad to start a dead car 🚗 pixie trapper box

Definitely a future project to build. I can envision many applications. Thank you for this video.

I just chain watched a bunch of your videos, and you have great ideas! tons of these could apply directly to drag cars that don't run alternators and quickly topping off your battery inside the car between runs is a huge bonus! Great stuff

Love it!!! Bordering on can't live without it

Attaching something like an arc lighter to the output would make for a really good survival tool for starting fires

something with some gearing to make for a lot fewer turns of a longer crank with (obviously) more input energy, as it looked like the existing setup was super easy to spin. so I would think you could go in that direction a fair bit and still have something that wouldn't be prohibitively hard to crank. overall super impressive!

Okay, thought this be Roadrunner Physics... But honest to God, you've opened my eyes to a segment of DIY that's so useful... Well done young man, very well done indeed. You've made a believer. I WILL share you on my Facebook page.

Fun build! With all that extra space, I'd install some lighting inside the box itself with a switch to control it. And of course, some type of short circuit protection.

Very nice unit! I made one just like that using super caps and a small 3 phase motor. I think it had a 3 to 5A output. Very handy to carry in the trunk of your vehicle in case you end up with a dead battery. A++

Talk about a useful handcrank power box. That should be in the back of every loggers toolbox in their pickup bed.

Thanks for a great video. Great voice over, great photography. not overly hyped. 5 stars, matey !

Awesome! After seeing your earlier videos on the capacitors, and my experience with a tiny lithium jumpstart pack (and measuring its not so great CCA), I was thinking on making such a box with a handcrank on it to always have an option to start the car, also when you are on your own while travelling. And now I see you already did this! However, I would add a couple of solar cells on it, so that it could charge be itself when you leave it behind the window. Just some cells which combined voltage is below the max voltage of the supercaps and you only need a diode, so no regulators or anything.

So very cool. You should go into production with that little device. Its brilliant. Just absolutely brilliant.

Thank you, man. The world is a better place when ppl like u around with such projects. Please build a bigger one ))

Impressive! Can be very useful as an emergency power unit for your home, car etc.

This was a really good one lasersaber.

Very cool and great work!! Hook those caps up to an atmospheric antennae....constant charging using the Earth circuit. No cranking...no spinning anything :)

Awesome build and neat jumper and light tool!

Its always fun to see your stuff , with a bank large enough with a alternator stationary bike you could ride a home while staying lean.

I saw a similar setup a few years ago. It would be really cool to implement this in racing vehicles.

Excellent idea, I have been using a super Capacitor battery on my car for four years now. I have a spare set of Capacitors and will build one similar to this! Thank you!

Good job, I am considering to build one myself. Thank you for a great project

always great work and nice hang music in the intro.thanks for your labors and sharing freely .a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours

Dude... I so want to try this with my boys. A friend sent me your channel because I've been experimenting with some bootleg phone chargers for emergencies using a 9V battery & endcap, usb mini motherboard/plug into an a phone charger. Very cool channel.

Cool! An exercise bike as a crank! Not portable but efficient! Rig a quick connect gear.

Wow! Really like the BoostBox, great work!!!

You could use on old cordless drill motor and gearbox. If you find a good drill it will have a 2 speed gearbox. Make sure you can physically turn the chuck on the drill before you buy it because some have a braking mechanism to keep them from turning when off. With a drill chuck on the end of the box you can put just about any kind of handle on it. May be handy to hook other projects to. Keep up the great work! I learn a lot from this channel.

This Is Your Best Work Yet!

Very nice build!! Clean and neat.

Very nice! Is the protection circuit just some zener diode with a transistor and an LED in the overvoltage shorting path ?

Fascinating project.

This is a fantastic invention.

seriously cool & useful little invention.

Wow that's a really neat idea! Also impressive it could start the vehicle.

Wow awesome!!!! I got a bunch of huge capacitor of the fluid filled ones im definetely gonna try somthing similar thanks!!!

You should put the handcrank on the front of your Honda... kicking it old skool

thats great idea love the builds, would be interesting to see super capacitors vs those jump boxes or those new little jumper ones

my first thought is to replace the crank handle with a clutch of some sort, and attach it to a windmill so the blades can freewheel when not needed to charge

I watch this and think about the generator itself. first a flywheel, and some sort of gearing/jack shaft setup. so your 1 crank rotation you can get say 10 generator arbor rotations.

that would be an awesome 'in your boot just in case' device, either for emergency jump starting or even for emergency power/lighting.

that was unreal and i think you ideas are great

awesome! totally inspiring video first thing in the morning...I only found your channel last night...

Great Work, thank you for sharing

Ingenius and inspiring man, makes me want to build my own

i like the new boost pack. its so efficient!

If you know where to look you can find pretty good capacitors in a junk yard... HvAc units washers and dryers have pretty powerful capacitors often for free. They save a ton of power without them your ac lights would go dim or flip a breaker. More people should use capacitors in DC set ups with power inversion. I use a "run start" HvAc capacitor just after inversion with my solar unit. Helps chemical batteries with any type motor type device in some cases 20-30% efficiency.

Excellent work as always ! 😎

You should feel real proud of your self mate . That's awesome to start a v6🤓

All right...that's it, ...that's it... I've been watching your videos for the last three days, and can't stand it anymore. I'M SUBSCRIBING!!! :). Awesome stuff here! I want to build one of these. Time to drink some beer and watch more of your videos!.. How's those chickens doing?

Dear Mr. Saber sir, this was really great, I should like to build one, but, I want to wait for your next version1.01, Thanks much, pierre from New Mexico

Amazing! Love your ideas and I will check out your site as well.

Awsome video!! I would like to learn more about these capacitors..I'm thinking about a whole house backup system using batteries and I wonder if these super capacitors would be an asset

That is great... Very well done. Maybe a round disk connected to the motor with a handle on the disk? You could make the disk as big as you like also some gears that make every turn of the handle multiplied.

This is great man! You should patent it and make a commercial version 👍💯. The ones on the market don’t have a cranking hand generator.

that's awesome... definitely going to make one

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Marvelous. Thanks for sharing.

Such a good idea.

Impressive, I figured you would just be jumping a low battery but full replacement that's impressive.

I will build one of these as soon as I can and have it in my car... the problem with battery based jumpers is that when you really need them, they are either drained or dead... and no one has the time to maintain them by assuring its battery is charged or fresh... I assume this thing can discharge and survive months of living in the trunk of the car... really cool gadget... thanx! cheers!

Amazing work👏🏼

Wow this is great. Thanks for sharing

lasersaber.good job.thumbs up

I love the hand crank car start! Sub'd for sure

Nice and simple! Good job

Cool stuff man.

thank you for making these videos.

Cool idea. Thanks

You're making some interesting technical builds, I'd like to see You couple that with morally ethical material choices.

A geared rod can be easier on the recharge person when the generator has a weighted flywheel. One push is then followed by continued generator rotations. Ratcheted gear box can be used with the rod or half turned handle you have now. Scissored foot pedal is alt with return spring. This taps into your weight combined with leg power. Pneumatics can feed an air to an air driven motor attached to the pack when mounted in car. So many possibilities.

The self powering building moment is awsome! Build such device in your screwdriver box for the next time you get stuck outside, maybe sacrifice or divide a drawer. Don't forget USB 😉 👍

I like how precise you are in your movements. Do you study martial arts, yoga, or other type of regular physical training?

amazing work as always sir.

hey lazer what you can do is run 2-3 generator motors at a time off of a small gear and chain then run a bigger crank to make up for lost torque be sure to wire the generators in parallel

Daaaaannnng! THAT was awesome!!!!

I like that a lot. Ten to one if your battery is flat you'll be in the middle of nowhere. What I'd really like to see is one that could start my DT466.

Great idea

Congratulations. Amazing.

Amazing video mate, keep it up!

wow great idea, now i want to try it too

Wow! So clever!

Very Interesting Something I may try myself ... Thank You

great idea, I love freee energy ideas, have you thought of using 18650 batterys the stored power would last much longer

Nice job!!

Super awesome video

Bro. This Is So Cool! I Wanna Make One Now!

Amazing 👏 i would buy one of these

Thats freaking amazing

Great Video!

I'm sold!

Great video, what are you using to regulate the voltage going into that capacitors when charging? That motor can produce around 40V, and the caps should only be getting 16 or so.
