Starting Truck On SuperCapacitors ~ Gardening ~ Chicken Coop Build
I have made a battery replacement for my truck using supercapacitors. We are preparing the soil for an organic garden this year. I am building a large walk in chicken coop using reclaimed lumber.
I have been hauling truck loads of composted leaf mulch for days now. I figure that six truck loads will cover our first garden space about half an inch to an inch deep. This will give nutrients to the soil for our plants to grow in.
Out in the off grid electronics lab I have been working a lot recently restoring lead acid batteries and soldering supercapacitors.
I am using both the Quanta Magnetics Q3 Charge Accelerator and the Bedini motor to restore old badly sulfated lead acid batteries. I charge a battery up on one device and use that battery to power the other device. I can cycle the batteries in this way until they gain in usable energy.
I have a large supercapacitor bank which has about 400 Farad capacity at 15 volts DC. I will use this capacitor bank to run my Quanta Q3 generator and for off grid experiments.
I have also been working on a replacement for lead acid batteries in vehicles. This will replace the starting battery in a vehicle. The advantage of supercapacitors is that they are not affected by cold or heat like a standard lead acid battery. They are not harmed by deep discharging or leaving them discharged for any amount of time. And their potential life span is much longer than that of a lead acid battery.
I used some jumper cable leads with crimp on end connectors to bolt into a pair of battery terminals. Then I put this into my truck in place of the starting battery.
At first I had problems with my truck battery terminals. They are badly in need of being replaced. But I got them connected to the capacitor bank.
When I got the connections set up properly the truck started right up. The starter motor ran strong too. You can really hear the difference in power using supercapacitors instead of a starting battery.
Out back I am still working on the chicken coop. I am using old lumber to build this chicken coop. I am making it large enough for us to walk into it and to hold a large flock of birds.
Up in the top near the back I will have a chicken brooder built in where I can raise chicks as needed. This will save us space and will allow us to raise the birds in their house from egg to adult.
