How and where can i get the future solar pump
What about this for humans this is nice buuut still a long ways away from what you all really need.
This is awesome
Water is a battery is an excellent idea. But what room temperature can maintain?
8 cooling systems, I heard. They appear to be a 12 or 24volt marine unit.....that has individual controllers for soft-start and variable capacity ability. 4000 solar watts did I hear ? 20, 200-watt panels ? Wunderful concept.... Hats off to the designer..... Would have liked to see the evaporator-plates and heat-exchanger. Any additional videos please ? ❤❤🎉
This is future for everyone.
This is one way of getting cancerous cells. This is Bill Gates pushing for this deadly farming method.
