This series is a true keeper. Thank you! Yes, take his advice and do them in order, for sure! Also, don't forget you can read/copy the transcript if you do better with reading along!
Educator of the year, Professor Hobo at Hobotech. My Dad said I began my interest in electricity at the age of three with the wall outlet and a fork. It was a hair raising experience. I cant wait for reluctance and Jerkhoff's current/voltage laws.
Very understandable PLUS interesting … great pace and amount of info in each video. I am going back and re-watching both before the next. Thank you Professor!!
I appreciate you sooooo much! I’m still learning and sometimes my old mind has to watch a few times but I’m grateful for the help!! Being new to this solar stuff it can be very overwhelming. Thanks again for all your efforts. 🦋
Hobo your a natural at this. You break it down and deliver such a clear concise approach to teaching. I’m not sure anyone does it better. It’s a shame and waste of your talents you limit yourself to primarily product reviews. I can’t wait to hear all your upcoming lectures. I think it will help you gain more subscribers eventually once you build up enough of these kinds of videos. PLEASE DO beyond just September
@@HOBOTECH yes but your planting a seed for the future. if you had say 100 videos like this people will eventually find them. It’s like any business where you take the initial loss. When people agreed at something, they usually succeed and you are really great at this. You know the saying if God gives you lemons…..
Great series - thanks for taking time out from making a living to do this. Some info on what MPPT controllers do and how DC-to-AC inverters work would be appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks for making is finally easy for me to understand what volts and amps are and how they apply to 12 transfer and storage systems. As an example, I never understood the different amp MPPT controllers. Now I understand what they do.
“TI” Titanium has an electrical conductivity of 3.1% of that of copper. I have a titanium jet engine turbine wheel that’s been sitting outside for 30 years. Not one bit of corrosion. Of course it’s not pure titanium. It’s an alloy. Thank you for the excellent videos.
Thanks for this overview! I learned the expensive way about aluminum wiring in the home as many Florida homes built in the 50's used this. At some point a wise electrician noticed and remarked "do you know what a fire hazard you potentially have here?" Of course for all we know, in 2100, people may say "that old house still has copper wiring!"
A lot of solar charge controller manufacturers allow you to oversize the pv wattage by 30%. What the limit is, I haven’t pushed it more than that. Now voltage limits…I stay under at least 15% in the summer, because of the increased voltage output in cold weather.
This explains why the aluminum shims I made from cans to expand the diameter of my battery terminals to work with the stretched worn out battery clamps, did not work very well, and was basically a project failure. Too much resistance, because of the conductor material.
One thing I'm stumped with is running 100 watt panels to my Bluetti (EB3A and AC180 model) works when I step up to a 200 watt panel, the power stations do not recognize it, I've tried various different wires and connectors, and my multimeter shows the panel putting out. What am I doing wrong?
An easy way to remember which wire gauge is bigger is to think of it like a fraction. If you have a 2g and a 4g wire: 1/2 is larger than 1/4. It works with camera apertures, too. f2 is a bigger aperture (opening) than f4. f2 lets in more light than f4...but you lose depth of field with the larger aperture (how much is in focus front to back).
If you release a drop of water and a gallon of water simultaneously in a vacuum, they will fall the same speed (relative to voltage). But, a gallon is going to hit a hell of a lot harder than the drop. The gallon being the larger current source
Great and highly informative video. Unobtainium from the moon Pandora is a 100% resistance free conductor and is so extremely valuable that a company will destroy a whole civilization to acquire it. 😮
I was taught that the amps fed into a DC breaker box is the total potential draw from that box. So I can feed a 12v box with a 12v, 30 amp AC to DC converter, then pull up to 30 amps from the various connected DC draws in my van (e.g. puck lights, fans, diesel heater start up coil, etc.). Is this correct??
Suppose I have a 220W EcoFlow solar panel and also two River 3 power stations, which take 110W solar. I can charge a single River 3 power station from the 220W panel, but at 110W, the River 3 limit. Could the two River 3 power stations both be charged by the 220W solar panel simulateously? I am thinking it would be done with a parallel cable, but in reverse, splitting the solar panel output to two pairs of MC4's, each MC4 pair going to a River 3.
perhaps people connect the solar panels in parallel to get more efficiency out of them. In series, if one panel has poor light then all of them underperform.. I don't know just a thought
Just for clarity, SCC specs come with Isc (short circuit current) and Imp ( max power current), say isc is 22A and imp is 18A, would it be totally fine to supply PV at say 25A?. Logically i think it won't be a problem for the same reason mentioned in the video, coz we supply AC distribution of about 50A at 240V and that is totally fine for appliances as they draw only the required current. Please help. I'm only asking coz several (well known) youtubers say supplying more current to a SCC can let out it's magic smoke
Who knows how the 6 outlets are wired on the inside of the EcoFlow Delta2 Max? Are they all on the same buss bar or some high tech system that makes it to where no matter where you plug in what so long you do not exceed 20amp products?

Thank you. I wish I could do more like this but they don't pay the bills. These are also my lowest viewed videos in months. Not encouraging!

Meant to say when people are great at something they usually succeed
Loving this video series. Super educational!
I like Gold
I remember that, back in the day, mobile homes used aluminum wiring for electrical. 😳
Pay full attention to The Professor behind the curtain.
He is a WISE WIZARD.🦉

late to the class but i am here!!!!😂😂😂
Thumbs up 👍 this is looking like a great project. Thanks so very much!

Excellent ! Thank you Professor. Godspeed
Well done Prof.
very helpful thanks
Thanks very much for sharing subscribed great information great video
Beautiful demonstration!
Thank you Doc Brown LOL I love the series
This is awesome Professor 👍👍

Yes, alloys are a whole other realm. There are many that don't corrode.

Nice Regalia! BTW, you a very good teacher. Better than many of mine years ago.
Thank you!

Excellent video! Thank You.
Where was this video fifty years ago?!?
On a VCR😂
Excellent professor Hobo, u r the best on ytube...!
AMPED up for this one

The VOLTS video tells you to check the Voc of the panel and make sure it doesn't exceed what the power station can take.

MPPT wants high voltage. You get more power in series. Typically, if one panel is getting shade they all are.

The entire point of this video was to explain amps are pulled not pushed. The SCC will only pull what it is rated to, no more!
That certainly cleared it up, thank you professor
Coool ✌️
Yaa! No magic smoke please :)
Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance !
Who knows how the 6 outlets are wired on the inside of the EcoFlow Delta2 Max? Are they all on the same buss bar or some high tech system that makes it to where no matter where you plug in what so long you do not exceed 20amp products?
Nothing high tech. Simple 20A outlets wired in parallel.
@@HOBOTECH Thank you Doctor! 👍🏻
I always thought amps are what I plugged my guitar into when jamming out with some Iron Maiden
Totally missed a pun for the title, Watt are amps? 😅😁
Marshalls
Country kid already know amps kill you when kid whom piss on electrified fens for cows! we called these kid woodchucks!
Sugar... ah, honey, honey...
🤔🫡.😪..😴z me confused.
Amps are for electric guitar silly
