Who would have thought...the EEC in motion.

Dutch Digger Drivers!?

It mesmerised me for many an hour. Thanks for the catch up. I had 1977 version.

Put a laccy band on it

Also I was looking how fit two vents good job thanks mate

Roof not sealed right angle not steep enough I just built my own from scratch no problems get shed felt too and fit it overlapped well

Amazing how the resistor can handle so much current! ;) :D :D

I'm looking for something to build in winter but I couldn't for the life in me remember which mag it was in I was sure it was "Everyday Electronics" !! but I remembered you started this ages ago, so here I am, you think you will ever come back to it ?

In India, Diode 1N4001 is used between Earth and Proximity pilot

Just what I needed! 🎉

Do you need to turn the inverter off whilst they do the work?

I love the thought of Big Loader as a state machine-it’s not something I would have ever thought of as a child (even as a pretty big nerd), but it makes perfect sense.

Those pigeons are a pain yea you got to put something

I live in a rural area...NO pigeons.

A skirt? How does it fit? Does it make yer Azz look fat? :P

could i switch the outlet plug for the american version if i bought one from eruope?

Thanks for showing this now I realised it's way to much for what I need. Noisey aswell

Hi I’ve subscribed what is the dial product called your using to turn fan on

My little brother James used to have one of these toys ❤😊

Hi Julian, thanks for the insight. Actually, I bought a preowned Rav4 phv which came with a 15amp main power supply plug. This plug is not compatible with my country sockets, I am try Ng to replace the power lug with a 32a plug, however when I cut the cord, there are five wires: white, black, green which I understand but the two remaining pink and orange I don’t know what to do with. Please guide me. Thanks

3 year update on this please? Has it worked? Any problems?

I have these leds how would I make 6 of them flash at the same time?

Had forgotten this existed until a friend mentioned it over the weekend. I had only a hazy memory of what it was actually like, but a strong reminder of how mesmerising and intriguing it was. I never owned one so must have seen it in action in some toy shop or other in the 80s. Great to see the whole thing in action!

This is very interesting, thank you. I have a problem, I purchased an 'all in one' Type 2 to UK 3 pin adaptor and its not worked since new - the Pod Point (UK) seems to run checks when plugging in but after a few seconds wont authorise power delivery. The resistor in my adaptor measures .995kohm and its connected between PE and CP. There is also a direct link wire between PE and PP (marked CC on my plug). So your video suggests my resistor is on the wrong pin? It should be to the PP pin? Further, is the direct link even required? Many thanks to anyone that can help please!

I am in Vietnam and how can I buy it?

Ummm errr yes ~ yet oh NO, NO, NO!!! For as one or two & perhaps (too) few others have pointed out below,,, SADLY JULIAN, your guidance sharing video here is inaccurate advice as it is totally incorrect to think you can treat & link up tweeters in this way, folk do look below & follow what people in the know have been right to write

Hi! I have a type 2 one phase L1 to Schukko cable. It does not have any pwm stuff inside. just a directly connected wire instead of button to signal proximitry and a resistor for max 16Amps current setting. I plan to extend it and put 2 more chargesers on one by one on L2-N, L3-N pins. I will wire Schucko plug socket for them. Sono extra electronic and stuff needed? I will have max 16Amps at both phases on 230V AC? so 3 times 16Amp current max? My chargers are L1 1.3kW, L2 2kW, L3 2kW. I have to plug L1 first, that has CAN communication to battery to open relay. I will plug in other 2kW chargers manually to socket on L2 then L3. I think better to use both phases instead of L1-N only to be similar flow on neutral, but some charge stations like in india have one phade Type2 AC only.... I am in EU, Hungary, here 3 phase is the common and if not balanced 3 phase load it reduce max power to 3.6kW.

What speed control was that

looks ten times better then mesh

Thank you for the valuable information. I want to ask if the socket has the right value resistor for the existing cable cross-section, can we supply the EV directly from a home socket with the extension cable that doesn't have an ECP unit? Does EV pull a current that cable could carry?

After having had my shed since the winter of 99. A few years ago I fitted a waterproof tarpaulin on the roof. This solved the problem of water pouring thro the roof. Having felted it several times previously. Now recently I'm getting mould an condensation inside. Due to the warm weather then the freezing cold extremes. So I finally fitted 2 vents(1 front an 1 rear) to provide circulation. Who knew, not me. I await to see if this will solve the problem. Next thing is to fit guttering to drain water from the roof.

I had one of these when I was a kid. Received it for Christmas in like 1978 or 79. I wanted a "Big Trax", but my dad got this toy for me instead.

My Mother came home with this one day. i was probably 16 at the time my only younger sibling was my Brother who was about 13? Mom said it was to entertain the grandkids but she let us put it together. Everyone loved this toy. I agree it was an impressive bit of toy engineering. All that action with one AA battery!!!

when will he eat battery acid??????

Where u get that speed switch from

Followed your brilliant video and it worked a treat many thanks

So I’ve bought a car side (male) type 2 socket. I just want common garden 240v to charge my work batteries. How do I wire the cp and pp pins so the charging station knows it’s plugged in?

so, if change the resister, can change the charging current? right?

you’re addicted to highs... that aint right.. you should be locked up in jail ? or a good asswooping with an old axe handle?

Thank you so much for making this video! Brings back such wonderful memories of my son’s childhood. One of our all time favorite toys!

So 1500 ohm will be 10 amp, what wattage resistor do I need please ?

very well explained, thank you

Hi I bought a simple Type 2 Mennekes plug to Scucko socket for my electric motorcycle which only has a computer power cable socket so 1kW AC needed. When the AC Type 2 stations has socket it fits in and works fine, but there are Type 2 EV charge stations with Type 2 cable instead of socket. In the cable end my Type 2 plug does not touch the pins, the plastic spacing is too long. Can I cot a centimeter from the plastic plug end just to fit both socket and cable Type 2 chargers?

Holy shit that’s quite the buffer. They are probably using the cells rated capacity for the energy storage measurement too and if they’re leaving all the cells north of 3.35V then that’s a solid 20% for cells that go down to 2.5V. Hmm makes me want to watch some capacity test videos to see how this unit does. We know inverters will be 10% inefficient, sometimes a bit worse. DC capacity testing can varying depending on whether or not the 12V output is regulated and with a 14S pack it has to be. So trying to guess the efficiency of DC conversion is probably less accurate than inverter efficiency since we can be certain a unit like this should be around 90% efficient with a decent load on it. Yeah running the pack at a 0.5C load might cause a little bit of capacity to be lost but that’s the game. Run the inverter at 0.2C (pack capacity) and get shittier efficiency on the inverter while getting ideal pack capacity or run the inverter at its ideal load rating and let the pack take a slight hit running a wee bit on the hard side.

Do you have email address pls.

Needed a clarification on which side, the resistor of the proximity pilot integrated? Is it on the vehicle side connector or the EVSE side connector?

I have an type 2 adapter with a 200 ohm resistor and it does not work. Maybe a 1500 for 13amp? Maybe it should be 220 ohm?

Tbh adding 1 vent below the roof ain’t gonna cut it I reckon. You’re better off having a ridge vent and replacing that ceiling entirely

When this was released I bought it as a birthday gift for my best friend’s daughter :) She was obsessed with Thomas and really went wild when the ad came on for the Big Loader ^^ Thank you for jogging some excellent memories

Over and over and over again of the same as the answering machine
