    Have been sharing this video with my friends and they all agree with me this is the most genius idea anyone has ever made and come up with placing a inventer in from of every solar powered device around the world

    Sailing boats all with small electric engines this clever idea will give people enough power to sail around the world none stop with never ending supply of electricity it's the inventer that is the master mind behind everything that needs electricity to power everything man has ever made and you have just cracked it genius

    No issue charging a 4.2 volt lipo with 5 volts? Cool idea. Maybe the diode help a bit in this respect..

    • @kassenbon
      @kassenbon  3 года назад +3

      Good point, I should have mentioned that the current is so small that it will never reach 5V so it should be quite safe. And if it would go above 4.2V the battery protection should kick in.

      @@kassenbon Does the battery have builtin protection, have you checked? Most of these devices where a small battery is hardwired don't have it in the battery and either rely on the charge controller being sane and battery this small simply not having enough explosive power to be dangerous, or have the protection chipset on the charger board instead of in the battery. The little PCB on the battery is often just a termination adapter rather than a protection board.
      That being said i'm not actually concerned. These batteries will take 4.35V, they're actually chemically stabilised compared to old 4.2V types, and if you used a small-signal diode or a rectifier diode, that drops like 0.7V, so there won't actually be almost any current at all going into the battery even with step-up at 5V once it's at its end of charge voltage.

    What a clever man this is the most genius idea iv ever heard of and have been myself thinking there has to be another way to create continuous electricity from solar power and it is just a matter of time before some genius out there somewhere finally cracks it and comes up with a very clever idea like this and this is the man well I say have to give the German people credit for their technology and the things they have produced around the world for years Germans have come along way from the past and now made it to the top of the ladder and they deserve it as well and should be proud of themselves because I know i would be proud if I was German this clever idea can change the world forever

    I have for sure trimmed down one of the cheap MT3608 boards once to a ridiculously tiny size to retrofit into some product. But i have not done a dead bug construction before.

    Could just replace the case battery with a smaller one to make room for the board since the capacity of it shouldn't matter if it's being charged all the time. As long as it's big enough to charge both earbuds from 0 to 100, there will be no change in experience.
    Also I'm thinking of a custom 3d printed bottom shell to accommodate the panel so the thin wires aren't exposed

    • @kassenbon
      @kassenbon  2 года назад

      Good point, that would be a much simpler method than my dead bug circuit. 👍

  • @therealityartist9057
    @therealityartist9057 3 года назад

    Of course this makes sense bumping up the voltage by using inverters so why haven't anyone else thought about this idea before for larger projects that use massive amounts of solar panels that don't create enough electricity as they are standard unlike this clever man has just come up with and invented the real genius you could become a millionaire my friend what you have just come up with think about it what I have just said mate 👌👏

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 3 года назад +1

      You can't create power with a step up converter, you just boost the voltage at the expense of current.
      You can also get customised solar cells made. So a solar cell that outputs 1V is probably 2 solar cells in series, and several in parallel. At the same size, if this were for a mass produced product, you can get one made that is instead smaller number in parallel, more in series, more voltage, same power, less current. Then this could be used directly to charge a battery. You avoid the step-up losses.

    7ma at what voltage that's a big difference from 1v to 5v that solar cell is at best 8 to 9 ma at 1v in direct sunlight at noon this is misleading like those solar power banks

    • @kassenbon
      @kassenbon  3 года назад

      The 7mA is measured at 5V. At noon it is more like 12mA at 5V.

    Heating up the battery in the sun might reduce the lifetime of you battery more than the whole effort is worth :)

    This is just flat out lying about how much charge that panel provides. Unless the creator has personally made a giant leap in solar panel efficiency, there is no way that you get 30 mins of use from 1 hour of charging from a panel that size.

    • @kassenbon
      @kassenbon  3 года назад +4

      I was also surprised when I measured it. In fact, it is even higher most of the time. The 7mA figure was measured in late afternoon. I measured again in early afternoon and there it delivered 12mA. So you would get roughy 50 minutes listening time from 1h charging.

      Sounds pretty reasonable to me. These earbuds use barely any electricity. He also used the manufacturer’s calculation for playtime per Ah. Which might be an overestimation.
