Hey Lasersaber! Hope you're ok. Missing your great solar and super capacitor projects, hope you will be back with us soon! Best wishes from New Zealand.
im going to build this . thank you lasersaber for including the parts list and project notes .
hi. have u build it? can u share it how it went?
Right up my alley. Not to complex, not to simple! Perfect. Subscribed!
You've caught on to something awesome. I've been waiting for this video for a while. I'm building mine ASAP. You're awesome, Man.
One of my favorite videos!
Great build. I'm really interested in doing one of these. A few quick and very minor suggestions: If you attach the capacitors to the lid instead of inside the box you can work on components inside without disassembling them. Also, hot gluing a few extra fuses inside the box will be a big plus if one of them ever blows.
Excellent work! Very cool, glad to see your still kickin'!
Also, your set of helping hands look pretty helpful, a much better design than the classic.
Good stuff.
Peace
Ben
Awesome! And just a suggestion, using a bridge rectifier would allow for the crank to be turned in either direction to create power.
отличная идея!
ElectroBoom would approve
Love your design I expanded on it. Heavy duty polymer tool box, perminent magnet 800w motor, same that windmills uses, weld about a 14lbs fly wheel to the end of the motor (you'll hand spin this to start it) connect to a plexiglass box. Inside plexiglass box make a 1:642 gear train. Fill plexiglass box with gear oil for reducted friction, on the end attach a 4 ft long crank so you can get your entire body into rotation. With the brushless perminent magnet motor it doesn't matter which way you turn the generator and you'll get insane amperage and watts with your 1:642 gear ratio, just make sure you hand spin the fly wheel first. An object in motion wants to remain in motion.
Very nice unit. I can't wait to see it in action. :-)
You could make a few solar cells on the top, so it always keeps its charge when you place it in front of a window. Ready for any emergancy. Its a wow invention.

Thanks for braking my eardrums with your drill!
Thanks for the information and the DIY! I’m going to build one.
The turning of the handle got a saw blade and a drill to turn; pure science :) Well done
I like the musicalization of your channel in general
run a wood hole saw backwards if you want an easy way of cutting nice clean holes in plastic. spade bits don't work too well. running it backwards keeps it from grabbing and gives a smoother finish.
Very cool project. I'd like to build something like this into my 4x4. Weak battery, just do a little cranking and you can get it started to get home. don't really need it. already have a small solar panel mounted that keeps a float/slow charge on it, but hey it may happen at night!
This is not a theory... it is a build... way to go laser dude...
Put those 12 V sockets on the lid...
I Think you should put the crank in the middle of the large surface on the larger box with a handle on the narrow edge then you can stand it up and crank your knuckles won't hit the ground. Hope this helps
Lovely content! Keep it up!
Awesome build! Love that you share what you are doing. You should add the possibillity to charge the unit from a wall socket.
Awesome! Keep it up!
love this, It provides quiet power, No need for loud gas generators. Huge Thumbs up. Will be sharing this video and subscribing. Thank You
Dude you're amazing. Thanks so-o-o much for sharing your designs!
Great build. I built a supercapacitor bank for spot welding. It can generate 1500Amp impulses. Adding a crank to it is a great idea.
American talent has no limits and you are one of the US talents. Congratulations excellent video.
An Excellent product. Make it more functional....removable handcrank..adaptable to a DIY powertool to spin the crank.
nice job! clean work. video made well!
Thank you for sharing this cool idea
Any chance you can do a video on upgrading a $1 solar garden light with a capacitor? I'm from PR and I wanna upgrade 10 of my lights to share with my neighbors, we're still without power.
great stuff Lasersaber . i will eventually get around to assembling mine. i have all the bits i need , too many projects though.
this will be perfect for me with some of the adventures i do, it will be a safeguard for me at the end of a long weekend jaunt,if you know what i mean. well done . cheers bazz
One word....BADASS!!!
LaserSaber, it is good to see you making videos again. Thank you for showing us this unit. I like the new case for it. Will you offer this as a kit? I'd buy one. The handles are already unavailable.
Excelente proyecto, voy a tratar de implementarlo, saludos desde Costa Rica.👋
Hey, Lasersaber I used a FW bridge rectifier on my crank generator so it makes no difference which way you turn the handle. MY generator is not as big as yours but good for charging phones and running LED lights. BTW: Like your channel.
In theory it should also charge faster as the single Diode will block half of the power cycle(??) of the handcrank, while a bridge rectifier will allow both halves of the power cycle to charge the capacitor Bank.
@MultiDavid997 so there is already a bridge rectifier or similar inside the hand crank generator.
@MultiDavid997 most bare rotary generators will produce AC unless there is extra circuitry to prevent it from doing so.
Sorry, i checked in the meantime. It seems I forgot my highschool physics quite a bit.
Brushed permanent magnet motor outputs DC if I'm not mistaken
Thanks for posting this by the way..... although I would reconsider I'm putting the super capacitors in a box like that. I only say that because if you use a 5 gallon bucket it allows you to put more capacitance in there along with other components that you can open at any time as it also has a Rubber seal and a built-in handle for way less money.
Super awesome video love it
I love capacitors xD its so intresting
Hey Lasersaber thanks for uploading your videos. Really enjoyed them. Have you made a v3 hand crank box yet?
Loving the soln projects, and the joule thief projects - those are especially interesting. More please! Looking for off grid solutions. Have you seen any videos on building battery packs from 18650 cells?
Cool project, I love your passion in doing this. Don't listen to the non believer.
A shame. One of the coolest projects I have seen on YT in a while, and you removed all mention of it from the net, except for this video, which is now useless without a parts list.
Nice project thanks for sharing.
Extreme longevity potential, I love it! Decomposition of the materials used to build it being the only possible downside. Otherwise, I see no reason why this shouldn't remain functional 100 plus years on. You should commission someone to manufacture and sell these for you!
Just found your videos and channel. Quick question; have you thought about using an ammo box as your container? They’re stackable, waterproof, come with their own handle, and they provide a little more accessibility for fuse changing or other minor repairs. Maybe even space for a larger and removable crank handle?
This would be my favourite machine of all time if you included a bicycle pedalling system attached to it and turn it into a fitness generator, making it the perfect way for me to have free energy and loose weight at the same time.
Made this project almost two years ago, didn't use a bridge rectifier to minimize losses from motor to the capacitor bank . I didn't put the supercaps lasersaber used in his videos (EATON 400F 2.7V) and had the geared DC motor used in his first video, but i can surely say that as a project it has potential. Yes batteries store way more energy but you can charge this in far less time than a battery and you dont have to worry about battery lifespan or charge cycles and weather conditions, it's also way lighter than a car battery (so portability is a plus too).
I'm guessing that in warm sunlight your adhesive tape might let go of the booster pack... Maybe a support structure inside?
Don't know if someone has pointed this out yet. At 6:21, you place your adhesive tape over the pressure release vents of the capacitors. This could affect the proper function of those vents if the capacitors need to safely vent off pressure due to the failure of the capacitor. Instead of a slight pop and a hiss. It could now become a KABOOM! Other than that, I'm planning on building one of these to use as a jump pack.
thanks for posting. nice work. here are some late thoughts. imo, at 7:25, you were well on the way to cooking that diode with the soldering iron. thanks for the info about the small hand-crank generators. i am guessing nominal output would be about 18 watts. in lieu of replacing the pm motor, another stage of step-up gearing could be added, to 'speed things up'. you may know, in an application where a high-speed pma is desirable, the stator coils can be connected delta. then, output rises Amps over volts. lenz force drag at lower speeds is initially less, then gradually climbs with rotation rate; output power (watts) is roughly equal to stator coils connected wye/star. cheers
in case you or your subs might be interested, here is a link to a video in which, just maybe, overunity is achieved, on a table top.
the video appears to show an Energy Gain of 60-plus percent; where input power is about one watt and output power is about 1.6 Watts. this percentage corresponds to the Amount of Mechanical Advantage the drive motor has Over the load (generating coils), located Nearer to the center of rotation. if is is true, it is proof of my separate research, conducted in 2016. the idea is simply to use Leverage and modern power generating hardware, to Easily achieve overunity. (see the law of the lever; the wheel-and-axle, which is a Rotary, 2nd-class Lever.) see my channel for more info, if it suits. cheers

Being from the NW USA - water proof all connections crimp then solder then dielectric grease (petroleum jelly works in milder climates) then shrink wrap. (Keeps petroleum jelly from off gassing) rebuilt 1985 van this way back in 1999 and still working.
for a bigger case , a good plastic toolbox might be the way to go
Good job,,, I built battery replacement for my scooter... 500 f caps , it stayed charged for six days between runnings, then I saw a pcb charge balancer on evay, the ones with all the active electronics, , it only stayed charged for 2 days.... so I went back to diode bridge system.... works fine...
also microwave oven turntable motors make a good crank generator too.
dude, where do i get a salvage microvabe
m3sca1 yes they do
neat project! good attention to detail with things like those nut caps. how long do those capacitors retain their charge?
Very interesting, appreciate you sharing. Curious why you weren't concerned bridging your hand across the dc posts on the outside of the box in the video.
Answering my own question :)
From what I have found out a hand cranked generator delivers approximately 10-20W. If we say it delivers 20W and your cap´s hold 0.34Wh x 12 the cap bank holds 4Wh. To fully charge them with a 20W hand crank it would take 4/20 = 0.2h in other words 12 minutes, and thats at best. If you want to charge your iPhone X from empty to full (10Wh) you would be cranking for 30-60 minutes ;) Wow, thats quiet a workout guys. Carpal tunnel syndrome here I come!
@lasersaber
Do you need to use any resistors to limit the current output from the capacitor?
Also for this project is it safe to use 14AWG and 16AWG ?
If you wanted to use switches to turn off every output and control what is on and off, what type of DC switches would you use and what sort of Amp's in current would you need?
USE the biggest wire you can afford
Yeah it's safe but 12 gauge wire is the standard.
The links on this clip work fine, including the balance board.
Brilliant!! (ideas to toy with bigger, heavier (tool box-sized) with alternator... (could be "pre-charged" with electric drill prior to use)
Or connect directly to the battery and charge it up that way.....
Step 1. Plug drill into Inverter powered by capacitors.
Step 2. Use drill to spin hand crank.
Free electricity 101.
LOL
Damn, I came here looking for someone taking this joke seriously.
Expected someone to comment about energy conservation... Dissapointed...
Instructions unclear did my uncle not touch me at a young enough age? (Joke btw)
@@rizalardiansyah4486 Those of us who really do understand electrical physics tend to not argue with .... 'those' people.
Given the cost of capacitor jump starters, this is very handy info :-)
Nice.
Can a super cap store to much energy like this?
It's really amazing job.
Awesome! Thank you
Happy New year 2020
I love you forever lasersaber ❤❤😭😭
Please come back
We need u
Respect from INDIA 😭😭
Looks great... the hand cranker isn't available anymore from that link, what where the specs of the one you had, if you remember ? Thanks for sharing, really amazingly simple and great.
Do we need to charge and discharge the super-capacitors several times before normal use? I saw this mentioned in a couple places when I was looking at different super capacitors to purchase.
Are you using a DC stepper motor?
Thanks 4 sharing this awesome concept!!
No, he's using a DC generator that has carbon brushes (that's the worst efficiency of all of today's generator choices), but I still like his enthusiasm for a great cause !
What inverter were you using in the beginning of this video? Thank you.
Such a wise guy. I like it. Who needs heavy long lead cords on a remote job site!? Or jump box for starting cars when batt goes down. Can quickly charge this box off a bad batt w low voltage, then start the car w this box.
you are alive YEAH
I would like to see this tech work on an ebike motor (front wheel pedal assist bicycle) where the more you pedal, the more is added to the caps
I think it'd be really cool if you started using Anderson Powerpole connectors in your projects, in addition to banana/lug and cigarette lighter plugs. You've already got a decent crimper for them.
So Cool!
Eagerly waiting for your next project. Thinking to make one for camping purpose please help by including in your next video. Thankyou.
I think I'll check your original video. I'm more interested in what it can do and how it works than how it was made :) Thanks for sharing!
Big fan here! Are you planning to make one?
Done making it thanks bro hope i can post my working hand crank by your sample
hey you are back!
How long are you needing to crank the handle to make a car start or even make your saw run and how long can your saw run ???
Love your work a really nice idea.
thx for sharing.
Regards.
Use BLDC MOTOR for better generation efficiency! Thanks for the awesome vids.
A brace and bit would've got those holes drilled in a similar manner, but with fewer intervening stages :) The boost box could be a life saver in snowy conditions though. They come into their own for starting gasoline engines when it's so cold that even a good condition battery struggles. I've seen videos where people have permanently replaced their battery with these supercap banks. Nice job.
I remember now. They were mostly YOUR videos :)
So it has been a while since u uploaded this vid, but, I was thinking.... If u were to connect a sprocket (to the crank) that is larger than the radias of the spindle on the generator. Add a belt or bike chain connecting the sprocket to the spindle. Doing this should result in less rpm on the hand crank and more rpm on the generator, decreasing the amount of effort needed to charge the power bank. Thanks for the vid.... I'm building as we speak.
How did you connect the solar panel to the boostBox ? I only see terminals output for an inverter? Or are you using the same output connects as the input from the solar panel?
sir you are going to start a million dollar bussiness with this cause everybody wants one
Nice bro
How long would you have to crank to get enough to start a car? Hours?
This is exactly what I have in mind as well, however, super caps have low voltages and you need circuitry to ensure that they operate in a balanced mode so that they don't get excessive voltage that can cause failure if unbalanced. So I am rethinking the idea using 2.7 volt caps at the moment. The other thing is that you will need to make a current limiter so that your cranking torque is manageable to not get over stressed cranking for prolonged periods of time. There is no free lunch when it comes to energy.
heard you have an electric car, why not make boost pack to help the traction battery? you may have more range.
hi laser i like ur movies. You are genius. salut
ust a quick thought would it be a good ideal to run from a solar panel to a super cap then to a mppt to charge a rv battery bank
Built-in clamp-to-bench / clamp
-to-picnic table / clamp-conveniently-to-car, eliminating cranking difficulty?
Just for the record, I thought one of the worst things car and truck manufacturers ever did to auto-industry consumers / customers was to eliminate the hand-crank option fod engine starting. And, the second worst thing was eliminating the mechanical power take-off so that a family's second most expensive asset could no longer be used to help them complete tasks around their property.
Thanks so much for leading the way in innovatively Reinventing the hand crank starter. There should be one of your boxes included in the trunk of every new car with an internal combustion engine, as well as a small pull start gasoline engine in electrics in which you could limp home in case of emergencies. And well they're being really brainy they could put a hand crank window option just in case Electric Windows go bad. Of course Detroit and other based manufacturers would just say well it's time for a new car and that's always been there answer instead of answering with their main responsibility / the consumer in mind.
Hand crank starters were removed from cars due to people getting stupid. And broken wrists/arms. We still have tractors that are 6Volt and hand crank. But most people would never know how to start one safely. As for the PTO, yep. Jeeps had them and we have a 3-point hitch for use with one. Problem is................. you need to find one from back in the 40s-50s to use them. My pickup does have the PTO gear in its transmission and there are kits to install a 10kW alternator on that transmission. But I will tell you this, the same transmission without that extra gear is a lot quieter.
Looks like you are doing just half wave rectification, have you tried out this setup with a ~full bridge rectumfrier~ ?
nice work sir, please how fast can it charge and how long can it hold power
TIP use a bridge rectifier and you can crank CCW or CW can make it easier for left handed use. This may be the beginning of the end to batteries as we know them!!!
If the generator is connected to the capster and it rotates, there will be heaviness in the rotation, and if the wires are disconnected from the capster, it will be light.
So how much time can you keep the drill operating drilling? how much holes like you did?
One of those souped up to start a 7 liter school bus engine would be phenomenal.
is there a way to make it smaller for use on a -non kick start motorcycle -like say if my battery dies, i can crank a charge into a capacitor and start the engine -or does something like this ,exist?
I just saw this recently. I really liked the prototype handcrank boost pack. I would like to ask though, if this second version or even the first one can start a diesel type car? I really appreciate this vids you uploaded. More power! 😄
My friend has one built he added another set of capacitors and he took apart a Ryobi 18v drill battery and wired it in aswell with a regulator charger from the Ryobi battery and charger. If the Ryobi battery is dead you have to crank it by hand and it charges the capacitor banks then he can hook it to a inverter and self charge the Ryobi drill battery and run small power tools ect.
It has limits it starts my Chevy 6.0 But can only turn it for a few seconds before it has to recharge the capacitor banks via hand crank or drill battery. It should start a small diesel like a vw once it's warm but I don't think you could heat the glow plugs and still have enough power as capacitors are very rapidly discharged.
have a question about all your capacitor boot packs and replacing the battery... why not use a car audio capacitor? there already self contained and I have found them up to 10f@12v.. which I know your capacitor are 300+f but there only 2.5v which is why you make your packs.. but then you wire them up don't they loose capacitance but gain voltage? anyways what I'm trying to get at is have you tried car audio capacitors and do they work?
You were making amazing content and taught me a lot. Seems like you disappeared. Has everything been ok with you. Looking forward to getting some sort of update.
how many minutes does it take to fully charge the capacitor bank using the manual generator?
