    We should never take for granted that RUclips allows us to follow projects like Kris’s. Broadcast TV simply doesn’t compare! I feel as though we are all set in the metal workshop with a cuppa watching Kris as he works away.

      This is very astute. When I was the age when I could have easily done what Kris is doing, RUclips didn't exist and it was very difficult to learn new ideas and skills. Young people today can be inspired by Kris and others like him, and make themselves a better life. Use social media as a tool to improve yourself, all you have to do is ignore all the frivolous entertainment, focus, and do it!

    After so many years building it must give you so much pleasure to have such spaces, so that you can work out of the weather dry and warm.

    Wow! That video really demonstrated how much power you're making! Honestly, I still don't understand a lot of the power generation in numbers and formulas, but seeing you be able to cut and weld all day was really impressive! Entirely off grid! Well done, Kris!

      Being from the electrical field, I can tell you that anything heat involved (i.e. welders and plasma cutters) pulls a ton of juice, props to Kris on having his generation and battery system straight. I remember when he couldn't do wood working some days because he didn't have enough power

      @sursurrus 2 года назад +10

      I ken he's producing more than a normal house would use in a single day, no matter what, because of the different sources: sun, wind, water and the batteries. On a good day he makes four or five times that? It really is worth taking 10 solid minutes to appreciate how all the crazy wiring and fiddly maths and years of work let him take all that natural power, convert it into the same usable thing, and store it. I've reconceptualized my entire notion of what offgrid living is, so long as the internet and a basic industrial-level economy exists.

    I’ve been an avid subscriber for years-I watched you build your round house real-time. I am continually amazed by your intellect, thought processes and work ethic. Never have I seen you do anything less than the most efficient way. All that said, is there a reason why you didn’t weld the smaller plate to the pipe first? Access would have been better. Not trying to be snarky or judging just hoping you are human instead of my superhuman opinion of you currently. You can tell me to piss off and it won’t affect my opinion of you. You are putting yourself out there and probably get sick of people judging you.
    Either way mad props to you and your empire.

  • @JDTeam
    @JDTeam 2 года назад +5

    Hey kris
    One thing came to my mind with this design, it is absolutely beefy in compression, but because of the small diameter of the tube, it wouldnt be nearly as strong in side loading, and with a huge flat surface thats the side of a barn, wind has huge forces on those scales.
    Just wanted to make sure you didnt overlook this fact, because you did not mention it in the video.
    Anyways, thanks for the video, great work.

    • @drivemenuts3011
      @drivemenuts3011 Год назад

      Yeah, the tube has perhaps 10% of the strength of the vertical beam above it. It is definitely the weak point.
      It's 'probably fine', but increasing the diameter of the pipe and thickness a little would be a good insurance policy for very little extra cost/time.
      I also thought that you won't be able to get a small-mid sized tractor into the barn. Will that be necessary?
      Looks like a really good project. Kris obviously knows what he is doing.

    This method is great for projects like this when there is a lot of repetition and for accuracy.

    So what do you think of building a power system dash board where you could show off all the interesting parameters while using power tools in your workshop.
