I run the 1 ton unit... its awesome. Saved 1.3mw in first year and used to use baseboard electric so 1 year it paid for itself

Also, AC isn’t just about temperature. It’s also about drying the air which helps keep you cool.

I insulated the inside of my steel building with reflective bubble layer, which was the cheapest way to do it and it made such a difference that and my two little window units. I only needed one anymore to cool my place down. Although it’s not a normal way to do, it is a simple way to do it that it really works, and it also helps being that is reflective to make the room brighter.

I keep coming back because that intro!: whooo yeah baby! ❤

Shit they want $288 shipping for a mini split.Bought a 38 seer instead!😊

STUPID VIDEO!!! BUYING 10AMPS POWER SUPPLY TO USE 1/20TH OF IT!! NICE LIFE HACK. INSTEAD OF BUYING SOME CHEAP CURRENT LIMITER

all psu'us have short circuit protection. dont buy chinese crap for 2$ if afraid of shortcuircuit. also you should use circuit dc braker for that too.

WHAT LIGHTBULB?? led bulb?

Your cat has cool talent of roasting you and looking cute at the same time

Good video

So you do have batteries never mind

I don't know where you're located in Texas but just getting the humidity out of the air helps a whole lot

One Eco Flo battery would be awesome with the unit to run at night and you'd have extra power for other stuff

Alex, if you 'had' to replace the centrifugal with a Positive Displacement (Such as a Scroll-type supercharger, rotary lobe, rotary vane), and your goal was just a little 7-8 psi boost on-demand for a daily driver. Something like a 3.0 V6, and only up to 4000 rpm (literally 1/3 of the cfm's you've been hitting). What would you go with? Notice I said scroll-type and not twin-scroll. I'm talking Positive Displacement superchargers that produce an almost fixed pressure output at any RPM. I just want something for on-ramps, 0-50. I'll be using a diverter valve, that lets the car run NA or Boost, by opening/closing the diverter valve at the throttle body (sealing off the factory air piping from air filter to intake, preventing boost escape...). So the car can run NA most of the time without sucking air thru the supercharger (it wouldn't be able to thru a pos. disp. pump). It looks like they've got some really cool scroll-type, lower rotor mass, 88% isentropic efficiency...

This would be perfect if you could set it to turn on automatically when it’s able to start cooling or heating everyday when it gets enough sun.

We have them as well, they work great!

Most mini splits use a variable frequency drive to power the compressor. These run off DC and are a special type of inverter..a variable frequency inverter. Some mini splits use AC for other components, nice to see native DC units are made for solar. If you covered the roof with PV, the heat gain reduction would more than offset. An awning over the rollup doors would also help. Love your dog! Be careful with the PVA, 260 volts DC has special hazards. I needed to run a plasma torch off 208 volt 3 phase power but thr torch is 240 volt single phase but INVERTER. Tracing the circuitry, the torch first converts the AC to DC so i took 15 amps of 208 3 phase and rectified it to DC through a 6 diode bridge. This worked perfectly, as long as i used the 3 pole 15 amp breaker to turn the unit on and off. DC is hard on switches as it loves to arc.

Nice video, Alex. Really great job showing off this bad boy!

I can run an eg4 18kpv with 4 panels and run 240volt appliances. Why do you need 7?

What is your insulation? And how much reserve is needed to run at night? Or should I ask how many panels needed ( and batteries ) to run continuous off grid ?

We run one of those in a 1 Ton variety at our off-grid cabin. We don't use the direct solar, but run it off our inverter/charger which keeps the outlets powered along with keeping the batteries charged up. It's only our weekend playhouse, but our area has extremely expensive power at $0.48 off peak, so it made sense to keep the cabin completely off-grid. We can easily maintain 72F at 115F ambient air. Such a luxury for a 100% off-grid set-up. Our well up at our play property is also solar.

holy fkkk, it does work.. but pricewise, does generic ebay supercharger cheaper?

I have a 2ton EG4 mini split in central Texas. Works great.

whay are you putting those panels where they will be shaded....put them on the other side to get full sun all day

Why not install plastic flap doors on both of those garage doors to help trap the cooled air inside the building when they have to be opened?

There’s something suspicious about this channel. At face value one would expect a lot more interest in Electric superchargers. It looks like only a few group of guys are experimenting with electric superchargers. Lots of promises just nothing real to show for it. Call me paranoid but AlexLTD is also a tv show producer. I see a lotta hand-waving explanations, instead of real world trials w/the supercharger working. Audi has been working on a similar system w/48V motor, but that’s in tandem with traditional turbo charging.

Damn I missed the fact you moved to Texas. Thats a big move! I guess I wont see the LTD around MD again 😅

Mint. Ive always wanted to see this. Nice that this unit bypasses the conversion process. Love to see what this unit could do in a house or small place regardless of how you wish to place many in your barn/shop.

Ya, but won't be long before Texas Gov claims Solar panels give you brain cancer.

Couldn’t you put the panels on the higher portion of the roof where there’s no shade

Wait you don’t any battery setup?

I'm here for Roger but also got a great vid! I am building in >110° heat index and completely share your joy of A/C. I'm going to install one once it's dried in. Thanks!

Interesting video. 16.4 cents kh is reasonable. In our area we are currently at 49.5 off peak and 59.5 peak. We put solar on 10 years ago to save money with the rate hikes we are currently paying about 3,000.00 a year and that is with 10.5k of panels

I plan on purchasing my ~40kw of panels from signature solar. I'm hoping to have it all pay off in around 4-5 years. We just dug the hole today for the basement, so it's getting exciting.

Those are some impressive weeds you are raising down there!

Need more solar!!! Or a Bank of supercapacitors on the solar side.

That song is too good

I bet you could add another solar panel or 2 and have it run longer. If you really wanted it cooler you could put another set on the other side of the shop

Hi Alex, it's Marc, the V6 Challenger guy. This was a great find! I'm going to be retiring to Thailand - hopefully next year, but by 2024 at the latest. We want to build a small house to live in while spending a few years building our main house. In Thailand - unless it's a rainy day - we easily would get a solid 9+ hours of great sun, so this would come close to paying for itself in a year, or very close to a year. It's great to see how well this worked for you, thank you so much!

Watching with interest, from Scotland, where we could do with ac 1-2 days a year and even then we dont really need it. And just aswell as we dont get sunshine to run the panels either.😂😂

Thanks for this interesting experiment, but why is there no sound?

Call it war emergency power! Used since WWII with great success. Fighters such as the P47, Corsair, and the Mustang + early turbojets and even turbofans used water methanol for a time. It's a proven technology and technique.

Fake it till you make it

You get the prayer from

What that ESC just did was downright impressive

Wood is cheaper than blood and parts. I place wooden cribbing below EVERY heavy object I raise on jacks. Wood doesn't tend to slip and deforms slightly to grab steel etc lowered onto it. I got the idea in Desert Shield watching Ammo store Mark 84s on wooden cribbing. If wood is good for multiple 2000lb bombs it's worth considering. I buy a long 4x4 or 6x6 now and then (I have many objects needing cribbing), cut it to ~18" lengths and drill for pull ropes like an aircraft chock.

I might put a layer of old tire tube between the caster and the QJ to prevent slippage of the caster over time.

Good video with good data. Where did you find the intercooler tank that was used inside the car?

Where do I get the belt & pulleys ? You left those links out , thx ! 😊

Are we sure the constant and switchable wires are correct?
