    36:10 When the electron becomes excited does it get a Large Hadron?

  2. Julian Poulton-King says:

    With the sodis… You could ‘double’ the water being ‘irradiated’ by using
    a reflective coating on the opposite side to the sun, this might also fix
    the cap issue as the light would be randomly reflected into it.
    Alternatively putting the whole bottle in a hemisphere of foil would
    increase the speed of disinfection and the depth (circumventing the 4 cm
    depth issue, so larger containers could be used).

    yes, don’t stop.

  4. JonaZLove says:

    sun cells cubes ?

  5. S. McCloy says:

    Why not place a black rod inside the 2 liter bottle it would increase
    warming and cut the depth in half if you are concerned with the 4 inch 50%
    reduction issue. The reason you use 6 hours is to reach temp range you can
    do this with metal UV kills bacteria but does not take as long so you can
    use cold water in the sun transfer the water into the metal container then
    after it cools you can return it to the plastic to reduce bph exposure.

  6. S. McCloy says:

    Fill the 2 liter bottles with grain rice water? You could ship the bottles
    rolled flat to a degree then you could fit more in container they can
    inflate the bottle when it arrives to the location. How about fill the
    bottles with activated charchoal so they could filter their water if they
    are concerned with bph contamination.

    Great video i want to try this

  11. Alfredo Laborete says:

    thank you for sharing this video. I appreciated it.

  12. Ronel Calamba says:

    Thank you for sharing this video… I’ve been looking for this.. awesome..

  13. Jone Montelibano says:

    This is a great video, tank you for teaching how to join them together… I
    had a hard time doing it and broke some… so its a good thing i watch your
    video..

  14. Crystal Hudson says:

    Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge :)

  15. Corazon de Vera says:

    Hi, I made a solar panel but I can not make it to work in grid inverters,
    it is only working or charging at batteries. Where do you think I went
    wrong. Please help me.

  16. Juan Matzar says:

    i din.t hear how much whatts is the panel that you built 

  17. Fazal Rahim says:

    This is fantastic. Your efforts are highly appreciated. Regards.

  18. Queen K says:

    I luv ur channel my children are learning solar panel and solar energy and
    I use ur channel for their home schooling science. it’s great I also shared
    with other home school moms.:-P 

  19. Albert Boulanger says:

    Your video is well done. thank you

  20. Michael Rue says:

    every time i try to tab the back of my cells the contact instantly turns
    grey and solder will not stick to it even when using a flux pen the fronts
    work fine

  21. RTStx1 says:

    Please make a follow up video on how you attach the wires to the diode and
    to the wires leaving the panel to the charger.

  22. Albert Boulanger says:

    what seller do you buy from on ebay please?

  23. SirLobsterman says:

    ever look into wiring glue? no soldering required, just glue the tabs to
    the panels or even the panels to each other directly. also, just taping the
    whole thing directly to a pane of glass with packing tape works great, it’s
    only glass between the panel and the sunlight and the tape keeps it
    together.

    Not only could the plexiglass warp but I’m guessing it would also get
    “cloudy” from exposure to the weather ie: sun rain dirt. 

  26. Glenn Hough says:

    Thank you for sharing this information, been looking for this… great
    work!

  27. InLaws Attic says:

    THanks- that answers my question on previous vid. THis is first time I saw
    this done so that I think I could understand and do it- so many vids are to
    complicated! THANKS for all your ideas!!! THanks for the work you have
    done!! 

  28. FreeLearning says:

    Nice video on the subject.

  29. marnix kamminga says:

    kan you get those cells and buswire online

  30. DIY Solar says:

    Thumbs up! Something worth watching. Your DIY solar panel is very
    informative

  31. Res Ipsa Loquitur says:

    Do you have to put them behind actual glass or could you use plexiglass /
    lexan?

  32. nov51947 says:

    Well done. Subbed… and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos!

  33. desertsun02 says:

    thanks – if price is the obstacle to owning your own solar system just
    start small and build the system over time.

  34. ramhornjoe says:

    Love your vids they are inspiring for sure 🙂
