Just learn from youtube. You can learn anything on here.

Be that neighbor! ;-)

Shame we could *not* hear it over that bloody atrocious music.

Lautaro Hunzicker i thought it was more like the Stranger Things theme tune

Do you know what title is that song?

Shazzkid i got reminded of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Can anyone name the music in the end of the video ?

Your comment is now 4 yrs old. Nobody cared about it , in these 4 yrs 😝

KungFuChess I believe best on the subject here on youtube

KungFuChess yeah just don't try to give him any kind of review except for glowing he's like Trump in the ability to take criticism dept

danijel124 what's the name of his channel?

The name of the channel is just "jehugarcia" :) Been following him for a few years now, and I've learned a good amount of things from him when it comes to batteries and 18650's. He also have some videos with EVWest, which you also see in this video from Motherboard, that I highly recommend.

Kimolik Thanks

I was also watching him a lot of times on yt. Hes good ;)

That is what he said in the video

LOL I couldn't find my respirator

You should buy a fume extractor. They are not much money. $50-100 or so. The extractor moves fumes away from you so you don't breathe them in, but the active carbon actually removes the VOC's from the soldering process.

asusreviews I owned 5 of those at one point back in jag35 days, we got rid of them when I closed the shop

LOL

Sam G I think 50 Cent is a pretty good artist, why would you want to filter him? And not many of his fans are politically correct.

Is he married?

deadxleaves it limits the amount that is breathed in, I know from personal experience.

Great, it Limits toxic fumes. And i know from personal experience dust masks do nothing. I don't even solder small wires without a fan exhausting the fumes away. Sure, inhaling some fumes isn't going do any immediate harm, but he obviously does this often and if he's going to attempt to be safe, might as well actually be safe and get a respiratory.

maybe he was just acting for the filming

From my understanding, welding and soldering produces metal solid dust. Hence N95 masks should be efficient.

deadxleaves let's wrap everyone in cotton wool hey, live each day like it's your last!

Gustavo Ferreira that is not true every solar Panels are Made in China, so just find your way 😉

Try getting them in Brazil without paying taxes and you will see.

This country is a bureaucratic hell

Eu sou de Recife mas moro nos Estados Unidos e com certeza energia solar aí seria muito bom

Yeah, my country too... lot of traffic lights use solar cell, but fuking vandalism messed it up...

@Timmy Carl Not until we figure out what to do with the waste from nuclear power...

Catnium the free market at play ;)

Ironically, as people generate more of their own power, utility companies will be forced to raise their prices to maintain a profit. People who cannot generate their own electricity because of location or investment costs will lose out.

Sad but true, however, think in this way. Imagine you are part of the people that will lose out. for how long you going to be 'lose out'? forever? not in logical sense right. Somehow this shifting process will eventually force out people to be aware and take action. But most importantly they learn a bit or two on how to self sustain. That's the ultimate picture.

That’s the same thing I just commented on! He mine as well take it off. I bet he has high levels of lead is his blood. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@AmazingJayB51 Lead doesn't vaporize at the temperature of a soldering iron. The fumes are still bad but it's from the resin not lead.

@@blueslayer99 suppose its better than nothing if you think about it

just like no eye protection does nothing for blowing up a battery in your face...

@@anonanon1153 this is only for dust not for gasses. you need different sort.

Well said! :D

Reko Starr yahu

IRL Alan Barrett *Dust masks are actually somewhat effective at guarding against soldering fumes, just not in the way you would think. Instead of a current from the front of your face (fumes) they draw air from the layer by your skin, away from the fumes.*

vapors vs vapers !_!

Samuel Schuur YES

They aren't LiPos. And soldering cells together is fine..

yeah, some of the ones he uses are Lipos. look at his power walls! And even so you should spot weld. its not hard, Less toxic fumes. and less damage to the cells.

More expensive and tedious to swap cells if something goes wrong.

Those aren't Lipo batteries, they are Li-ion batteries.

Only if the voltage gets too low. Nothing lasts forever. But even in such a case, the raw materials can be recycled and used in brand new batteries. Watch Tesla and Redwood Materials in the coming months.

Joop van Roy is Redwood a publicly traded company? (EDIT: Yes, it is, I found it. Sadly I can’t buy any of its stocks using the software I have access to.) Also, am I too late for whatever it is you’re referring to?

You are very wise my friend. I think you found the point of this video. Motherboard probably has temporary stock in these batteries

It still makes sense. Telsa is a company, people don't just DIY there own power for their entire home, he does things differently then everyone else.

Just like Tesla....but in my own home!!!

@Oscar, No point in saying anything. You'll probably just get accused of being pedantic, despite the fact he / she is the one cherry picking words.

MrWubly Tesla making them vape batteries of the future. 20700!

No batteries not design for vapes..they can explode or vent...use high drain batteries..

Don't tell me you're falling for this crap? This freaking idiot just trying to convince you that he makes electric cars with laptop batteries LOL. Did you go look at those laptop batteries? Those didn't come out of any freaking laptop and they wouldn't power a home unless you're home consists of Two 40 watt light bulbs and a tablet to charge up.

if their power is out? If there was a natural disaster where the station is/was? You only have to partition your electric into primary and secondary. Use the secondary til you wake up in your hotel room and your primary is restored.

Charge at home, fully charge when you wake up. People don't even fully use up the EV batteries energy by the end of the day, sitting inside and using an electric car long enough that it would run out of energy isn't healthy. I don't even go anywhere beyond 1km of my house.

@@wifighostcruiser9665 Denial is a very powerful emotion.

woah Studness. Patriot and Independent are exact opposites. Patriot and Freedom are opposite. I'll leave the idea of nationhood alone, I don't want to cause enmity between you and myself.

You're not your definition of scientifically literate if you believe that fjduslxjufkekeudjsexjdhsudhaliensndjcudi

im not a "patriot", im a human american. "patriots" as defined by unconfirmed "bone spurs" trumf? What have yall done and are currently doing for America "patriots"? besides say the word patriot? patriot dont mean repeat what your dictator in chief told you your allowed to say/watch/do, etc.

They won't, brings way too much money. It should illegal, yes. I see that as a scam. You can still ditch the iPhone tho....

Vote with your wallet. If you buy their devices they won't, get something with a replaceable battery if you want that, there are plenty of phones with that feature, and an AUX jack!

Hold your breath on that

No. They resell them in bulk by the thousands.

people been hoarding those materials for the past 20+ years... good luck

Hue Man you still need to dig holes for your geothermal

It is at this stage no worse then any other product, so if anyone gets angry at the mining and refining that needs to get done then first look around and consider that is part of every useless item people buy and then promptly throw away.

What about the environmental damage to the earth when the batteries become un chargeable. They will get thrown into a landfill and than the world will have a bigger problem.

Less then oil and coal

The production of electric energy is harmful to the environment. No way around that. So called renewable energy production harms the environment in different ways then say coal gas or oil. Experience gained in the last few decades suggests that solar energy is least harmfull, since the lifecycle of cells seems to be way above the 25-30 years stated by manufacturers. When talking about batteries the answer can only be. It depends. Which kind do you mean. I'm assuming Li-Ion, which is one of the most harmful types of batteries. Production plus recycling uses a lot of power and is, when looking at the not so long lifecycle of a battery, not a very efficient use of energy. Cars that use batteries to store energy, which don't use at least 90% renewable energy to recharge and are not being driven a certain mileage every day are actually more harmfull to the environment then using a car that runs on gas. Always remember, car batteries have to be replaced at least every 5 years. Batteries in cars also pose a high security risk. As long as there are only a few percent of those on the street, risks at an accident aren't very high, but when every car uses them and there is an accident involving lots of cars and some catch fire, the situation can turn really ugly really fast. Batteries in cars is just a short term solution, one might even call it a fad. We can only hope that fuel cells become mass market ready soon.
