    thanks julian, interesting as always

    Not only is 127 2^7-1, but it is also a prime and a Mersenne prime as well.

    How have you not burnt your house/neighborhood down with all this Chinese junk.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matthew Miller says:

    This reminds me of a Horrible Freight Tools 12V CFL that they sold with their solar kit and used this same type of base.

    bit of a naff lamp holder I reckon those glass bottles made to look like light bulbs will probably fit

    ended up buying 12v filament bulbs from banggood as couldn't find any on ebay
    using mine as garden lights, i have solar on the shed, running to the decking – got nice coach lantern thingys for them to go in. not a fan of that lampholder,

    couldn't you use your latching remote relay to control some LED tape to give light in the work area?
    ( i did that for inside the shed, works really well )

    I was just thinking a miniature breaker panel would be neat on your porch setup. Then thought it would be full size if you are using residential sized wire. Then thought: wouldnโ€™t a residential breaker panel work? Amps are amps. Hmm ๐Ÿง. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for what you do!

    Hi Julian! Can you tell me if you're planning to make a part two of battery internal resistance device please?

    0b00111111 what a milestone… Of postage receiving?

    Found the soldering iron still trawling through all the postbags.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars unamanged615 says:

    hit between metal and edge with hotmelt

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Webber says:

    Impressed with the soldering iron will get one when I find out where it came from. Also, I was watching a postbag (I think) concerning a 1.5 to 5v D.C. voltage booster but my computer crashed before seeing where it came from. Anybody with a good memory that could help me find that one and I will be most appreciative.

    You've not been to Argos recently then if you think E27 ain't a thing here in the UK… ๐Ÿ˜›

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fox Nakamori says:

    the DC – DC in the description means its ment to operate on direct current and switch direct current loads, good video, and pretty interesting to see the inside of that little switch

    Will the 5.8ghz antenna/sensor get worse performance now that it's been touched by greasy fingers , you think? It's voodoo RF so.. ๐Ÿ˜€
