Here are just a few of my Energy and Money Saving Ideas that I've started to implement due to the greedy scumbag energy companies rinsing the public for their profits. I've also added some information I found out that will be useful for those of you on universal credit and other benefits.
3m polytunnel... www.ebay.co.uk... you can get a smaller 2m polytunnel if this is too big or you can use a normal room near an open window. As for the power, I'm using my solar power station that I built myself which consists of 2x100w solar panel, 30amp mppt charge controller, x3 120Ah deep cycle RV van batteries and a 1000s pure sine wave inverter.
My solar power station is used to charge my electric bikes, TV and NowTV stick, 800w induction hob for cooking, 100w fan for drying clothes, charges all my power tools, garden shed lights as well as living room light. ( NOT ALL AT THE SAME TIME ! )
One of my pensioner neighbours has resorted to school boy science by winding copper round a couple of doughnut magnets to run a light bulb. Works a treat.
Bypass the metre #1
Give us a how to! 😂
😂😂👍👍👍
😂
Grow plants in your loft and bypass metre 🤣
😂
Use the cellar they have thermal detectors
Weeds or flowers????

Been using a heated throw for a few years and love it. Only uses 2p an hour of electricity 😄😄
I've got electric blanket saves me a few quid in winter.
Thank You!!!
Great tips. Nothing wrong saving some money in what the coppers liken to call "This day and age". We have a slowcooker are also going to buy an Airfryer because you can cook vegetables/steaks and so one in it too. We have a smarthome and all our lamps can be dimmed so the still give enough light and only use 1.8 watts instead of the full 5 watts. And it also turns lights on when you in a room, and turns it off when you leave automatically.
I sleep with socks on and a wooly hat, in winter it really helps
Thanks Pinaci
Best tip is use an air fryer instead of other cooking methods...I took 1/3rd off my electric bill by using this instead of the top oven.
Thanks, I think everybody is going to have to go down this road. We've unplugged every vampire unit and turned our heating down 1,5 degrees to 19.5. If I had the option I'd build a brick stove in my back garden and feed it on broken pallets. Not much peace of mind for a couple of 71 yrs old.
You can also get less powered usb heat pads, you could charge battery pack in the green house and then use the usb bank to power that, I bought usb banks that hold 8 18650 batteries, the batteries can be salvaged from old laptop batteries. I have used this method while camping in my car after festival security jobs, the battery pack at that time was also charged via solar panels for cars.
I am a stingy bastard but this helped
Light farts 💨🔥
That's what I do cook in bulk and freeze them ,I also freeze milk like yourself,just make sure you time it to defrost as the other milk is running out
awesome
Nice video, just one thing the freezer wasn't full which I have been told is uneconomical. My tip is about boiling the kettle, people tend to boil the kettle every time they want a cuppa, which is a waste of electricity, unless of course you only fill the kettle for one or two cups. I boil a full kettle and the pour the water into a large flask and use that, kettle only gets boiled twice a day.
We only use a measured amount of water when we boil the kettle for a drink but we also tried the flask option a few years ago but found that when the flask is half full then the water didn't stay hot. Maybe I'll go back to using a couple of flasks instead.
Hello, some good tips, made me think. The foot warms great as I have really cold feet. I will have to invest in a foot warmer.
The electric foot warmer has x6 heat settings going up to a max of 100w and also auto cuts off after 90 minutes. You can also fill some socks with rice and put them in the microwave for about a minute or so and then place them on top of your feet to warm them up. If you use dry rice in the microwave then make sure you also place a little water in a cup next to the rice.
All are defo great ideas we have a Air Fryer omg not used our oven in months now
I have a 5.5L air fryer which cooks so fast and takes away so much fat and oil from the food. We also haven't used our main oven for months
im using sleeping bag now. no draught
Get some polystyrene blocks and fill your freezer with them, trying to keep all that space cold also costs more because every time you open the door it takes longer to cool down the volume of warm air that you have just introduced into it.
Also, please try an talk a wee bit faster, even running at double speed this video could have ben shorter :)
That freezer is normally full, only when I shot that video we had used a lot of what was in it.
This is true, but works better in a stand up freezer.
Empty boxes work too.
👍
He's not just a pritty face 😂👍 was wondering when i would see another video from you. Some good hacks 👍
Very groovy
Diesel generator running on red #2
👍👍👍👍👍
ppl are gunna have to look out for the vulnerable, the single maybe, and each other
You can get a heated seat/blanket in 12v
For a car, but wont work on your sofa.
want to stay warm ? get yourself a good duvet with real duck fur and put underneath your sheets real fur sheep rugs...😇
Great video brother very interesting 👀👀
I only have a backyard about 6 ft long x 3 feet wide. I'm doomed lol.
Like I said we used to use the fan to dry clothes in the bedroom as long as you have a window open.
@@PINACI I Live in a 2 up 2 down house. It's comfortable, seriously it's really a backyard a few feet long, leading to an old entry, as we call it. Out back there is all ivy climbing the walls. Not that we use it. As for energy, we don't get the median average temperature in N. Ireland, it rains with a few days sunshine here and there lol. Plus we pay a premium on everything, be that bread etc, car insurance, anything they can think of, just because of where pwe live. They claim they have to transport it over here. No difference to moving goods from South to North of England. Sorry I'm ranting. Love your channel BTW.
No i am a stinggie git my better half said so for our wedding thingy i got her some candles the smelly sort so that she has light warmth and smells good Perfect i thought job done
microwaveis deffo part of the problem, and be careful with emf lecky.... but yeah... why try pay more to them
Got rid of the elec blanket once I got a pacemaker. I could have it preheat before bed but,,,, Some great ideas though.
Yeah not so good if you have a pacemaker. Hot water bottle will help.
@@PINACI Hot/cold waterbottle also helps in summer hot weather if the bed too hot to sleep in
I thought about the electric blanket trick a while back, but then I thought sitting for long periods of time with the electric heating bars practically touching the body can't be good for you because of the emf's they emit. I don't know that much about this stuff, maybe it's minimal but if I go really close to anything electrical with my emf tester it always beeps and flashes red, which indicates danger. If anyone is clued up on this stuff let me know either way.
What’s emf?
@@Sssssssslf electro magnetic frequencies
@@Sssssssslf
Electric magnetic fields.
I had an electric blanket on my bed many years ago and forgot to turn it off, in the morning I had pneumonia and a collapsed lung, funnily enough I never used it again!
@@BG-ef8sk I did the same thing many years ago also, was absolutely bladdered one night and fell asleep with it on max, though yours sounds worse as I didn't have a collapsed lung, I think I did long term damage to my kidneys, totally fried them. This was around twenty years ago, they've never felt in good shape ever since.
The portswood video??..
watch your hygiene and wash your hands in a hot water ...don't forget that washing liquid /detergent is not killing bacteria ...
Don't be scared of germs, or when your body comes into contact it won't be able to cope !
@@PINACI of course it depends on personal hygiene ... just recommendations ...especially,I am concerned for people around ...in a case if you have obligations of care to other people who maybe from vulnerable groups such as kids/adults/nursery mothers/ pregnant women/ or who's organisms is weakened after sicknesses or surgery...
just a friendly advice ...i want to see people happy and healthy around ,so you serve to public longer...please,don't get me wrong
@@7fink7 But a safe comfortable temperature to wash your hand in is 120°f or 48°c if you don't want to scald your hands but the WHO recommended temperature for killing bacteria with hot water is 149°f or 65°c which is too hot for many hands so most bacteria is just swimming around having a leisurely swim !
Piles of fun sitting on heating blanket?
Marrow boat owners have hairy dogs to lie on them when in bed.
old trick put the next day cloths on top of your bed, so not cold when you dress in the morning.
How about wind turbine connected to a car altinator to drive a fan?
Hi sir what electric blanket would you recommend a could you please post a link for one I love all your videos
just search for a cheap single electric blanket which will cost about £17. Make sure its a washable one and also one that states you can sleep on it all night.
Pinaci.
Two things.
First. How much did you pay for your electric blanket? I'm seeing them upwards of 100 pounds.
Not knowing anything about them I don't know what's cheap and what's overpriced.
Second I thought it was interesting that when I watch your videos they aren't appearing in my history.
Is this some type of shadow ban?
A single electric blanket on Amazon or eBay will cost you about £17 and I don't know anything about a shadow ban or even what one is.
@@PINACI it's when your channel doesn't appear in recommendations or search results. Even though you're not banned.
But because of this you're somewhat affected as if you are banned.
If you UA-cam search or Google search shadow ban it'll probably explain better.
It seems to happen to various channels for miscellaneous reasons . Primarily. The platforms think the content is too spicy
@@davepegington9066 OK, but no one else has ever said anything about this so I assume that it's only effecting you somehow. But Anyway, you are not banned or you wouldn't be able to comment I dont think.
@@PINACI no. It's y that's ultimately effected
By having your channel not show in recommendations or history for example
Just get a thermal fishing all in one for minus 10 job done no heating needed ...
Yes that’s good idea but if you live in a flat that is no good at all
If you live in a flat then you can fan dry your clothes near a window if you don't want to use a tumble dryer and the other ideas can be used anywhere.
Hi pinaci, is there anyway you could kindly put a link to the tent and the thing you’re using to power the fan in your description box?
3m polytunnel... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275090541892 you can get a smaller 2m polytunnel if this is too big. As for the power, I'm using my solar power station that I built myself which consists of 2x100w solar panel, 30amp mppt charge controller, x3 120Ah deep cycle RV van batteries and a 1000s pure sine wave inverter.
@@PINACI much appreciated!
It's cheaper to cook a head?
lol, Ahead !
Yeah but the eyes go soggy 👀
I thought that’s what he said too! Lol
It IS cheaper to cook a head, most butchers and fishmongers will give them to you for nothing.
PЯӨMӨƧM 🤘
I just hang em up around the house overnight.
Watch that if the house has no ventilation the moisture will encourage black mould. Which is a nightmare to get rid of.
