A ten year old vehicle that will still put a smile on your face. BMW’s fabulous M3 will no doubt, still be one sought after used vehicle on the market. It’s jerky SMG transmission is it’s only downfall, but we’d recommend finding one with the manual transmission anyways.

Here’s a technique you can use to start a fire for survival if you having nothing but a water bottle and a bright sunny day. If you like survival and fire-making techniques, this video is a must see!

Project Inspired By:

A co-worker mentioning her boyfriend once burned a hole in a pice of paper with a water bottle. On that idea, I practiced until I could prove it worked, and then until I felt like I’d mastered the technique.

WARNING:

Project History & More Info:

Computer paper with black ink is the tinder of choice for practicing this technique because anyone should have access to it, and it’s fairly consistent and reliable.

The bottle needs to be filled with water, and ideally should have no air bubbles inside. By turning the bottle upside down and using the rounded convex part at the top, we can use a water bottle as a make-shift magnifying lens.

The curved water refracts the sunlight, and give the ability to focus it. The closer the rounded lens is to resembling a liquid sphere, the better it will work. If bubbled are trapped in the bottle, they will distort the sunlight and weaken the intensity of the beam.

This technique isn’t easy, and takes a lot of practice to master, so don’t wait until you’re in a survival situation to try it.

For this project let’s build a sexy looking generator that uses electricity to convert water into an extremely powerful fuel! Here’s how to build an Oxy-Hydrogen generator from scratch.

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for build plans, so I made a 23 page .pdf file you can have for $20 (This helps compensate for the 3 days it took me to make them). You can get them here: http://bit.ly/HHOParts

Everything you need to know should be in the video, but the plans have templates for the stainless steel plates, a parts list with SKU numbers, pictures, instructions, and expanded view diagrams of the systems, including an alternate “all ABS” option.

This is not a “free energy” device, “over unity” device, or a claim to be the solution to the worlds energy crisis. This is a project I did to experiment with the electrolysis of water, and the resulting gasses collected.

I have not tried this HHO fuel to operate engines, although many people claim they have done it with success.

Project History & More Info:

The generator requires electricity to electrolyze H2O (water) into gas. The resulting mixed gas is sometimes referred to as Oxy-Hydrogen gas, which is 2 parts Hydrogen (H2) and 1 part Oxygen (O2). I typically hook this up to my car battery while the vehicle is running, so the alternator takes most of the load. On 12 volts I get about 1.5 liters/minute, but when I want to make the gas faster, I hook 2 car batteries in series for 24 volts, and this exponentially increases the gas production to over 5 liters per minute.

Current draw seems to be around 20-50 amps depending on whether you use 12-24 volts. High current draws mean the electrolyte heats up, and if left too long the plastic can warp or melt causing structural failure.

Some people ask why the plates aren’t all electrically connected. The plates that aren’t connected are called “floater” plates, or “neutral” plates. There is too much information to post about them here, so do a google search, or check out websites like http://www.hho4free.com/neutral_plates.htm for an in depth explanation of the theory.

I used KOH as my electrolyte because research suggested it was the best. I haven’t experimented with other electrolytes, but have heard that salt, sodium hydroxide, vinegar, etc could work, but will dirty and may corrode the plates. Potassium Hydroxide keeps the system clean, however, it is caustic, so be careful if you choose to use it. You can probably get away with about 2-4 teaspoons of KOH per 6 liters of water.

This system produces an extremely powerful OxyHydrogen gas. When the gas is used, it simply turns back into water, and that’s good for the environment. However I believe it takes more electric energy to produce the gas than is obtained from the gas. This device merely converts the energy from one form to another, with given losses.

As long as you have enough electricity, the amount of water already in this system is enough to produce thousands and thousands of liters of fuel. Some people say this is the fuel of the future. Either way, it’s a very powerful gas!

A family sedan that just wants to play it safe, an appealing price, generous warranty, and smooth ride are some of the reasons why you would buy this vehicle. For those of you looking to add a bit more appeal to your family car would be wise to check out other vehicles on the market.

Project Inspired By:

A book I read at Radio Shack on making a simple speaker, supplemented by Make Magazines video: http://youtu.be/EIbzQ_8-aaM

WARNING:

Do not try hacking your TV at home. The capacitors may hold a charge and pose a risk of electric shock. This project should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in serious injury or death. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

To all the MythBusters fans out there .. No offense to MythBusters is intended. I realize they busted the HouseholdHacker project that claimed using aluminum foil and a penny would work. However, I was motivated on this project mainly by the statement that “a paper plate speaker for less than a dollar, really is just too good to be true”.

This video is meant to be a fun way to show it can be done under $1. If copper wire is an issue, the TV hacking, and wire from the sump pump motor is to demonstrate that copper wire is everywhere, not just in stores.

The idea of making a speaker out of a paper plate is intriguing, and to do it for under a buck is even better. But first, we’ll have to understand how a speaker works.

Help us grow so we can bring you more videos! Like us on Facebook @ http://www.Facebook.com/2Redline Despite it’s older design, Volkswagen’s more affordable CC is still quite a looker today. It’s lack of a few more modern tech features will show it’s age, but the 2013 updates significantly refresh the car and for those of you who want a stylish sedan like this, but find an Audi A7 or BMW 640i Gran Coupe out of your price range. Head over to your local VW dealer and drive this model.

High amperage electricity can easily melt metal! In this video you’ll learn step by step how to modify a microwave oven transformer into a high-current device that can pump out 800 amps of electrical current. This is how to build The Metal Melter!

WARNING:

Burning galvanized metal may release toxic Zinc Oxide fumes. This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, cardiac arrest, serious injury, permanent damage to equipment and property, and/or death. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

By modifying the secondary coil on a MOT, the transformer is converted from a high voltage/low current device into a low voltage/high current metal melter. The first MOT in the video produces just over 500 amps, and the second one is capable of nearly 800 amps.

Any metal that can conduct such low voltage electricity acts as a resistor between the electrode wires, and heats up due to the extreme electrical friction.

A practical application of this modified transformer is shown in another video on how to make a spot welder. This way, the high current can be directed to one focused location to fuse sheets of metal together on contact.

Meet Acura’s previous best selling model, the TL. Hit with the ugly stick for the 2009 model year, it severely hampered sales of Acura once best selling luxury sedan in the segment. The 2012 refreshed helped to bring buyers back into showrooms however, with a next generation due for 2014. Acura really needs another home run, similar to what it got in 2004 with the new TL and TSX at the time.

Light a survival fire with your pee. If you’re into survival skills and fire-making techniques, this is a great trick to know if urine trouble.

Dual Survival – Urine Ignition http://youtu.be/SwW5hwX47MY

WARNING:

Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

This is a great trick to know if urine trouble.

If clear liquids can be conformed to the shape of a sphere, sunlight can be refracted through the fluid and the energy can be focused to a point.

Clear water is one of the best choices because it doesn’t absorb any of the suns energy, so more heat is transferred to the tinder. Colored liquids, or liquids in colored bottles can still work, but energy is lost, and that could be the difference between getting tinder ignition or not.

After making fires with various water bottles, and posting my first video on it in 2010, someone commented and said they saw a guy on Dual Survival do it with his urine. That sounded pretty amazing to me, so I looked up the link on YouTube and saw the clip.

It seemed like he had quite a bit of trouble actually getting his fire going, and I thought that if I were ever in a survival situation like that, the last thing I would want to be doing is trying for hours how to figure out how it works. It’s better to be prepared beforehand.

This video comes after many experiments of playing with various techniques. I found that using plastic wrap and urine made a combination that gave great success, and within a minute or two I could have a flame! When done correctly, it works just the same as a magnifying glass.

Practicing with the amount of pressure is key, because too little and you won’t have a good lens. Too much, and the plastic bursts and you’re soaking wet.

FAQ’s:

Q: Why did I wrap an apple in plastic wrap?

A: Of course the video is fictional, however the survival techniques portrayed are real. I wrapped my apple with plastic wrap because I’ve seen it done before at hotels, and I wanted to give an example of how random resources can be used as tools. If you don’t wrap your apples in plastic wrap, perhaps you wrap your sandwich, or various other food items? The plastic baggie holding the celery can also be used in a very similar manner.

Q: Why did I use a page from the map for tinder instead of grass or leaves?

A: This liquid lens technique will light any tinder that could be lit with a magnifying glass, since that’s what it is in essence. I used a piece of paper as an example because most people have access to that as a material they could practice with. I chose paper because it’s easily duplicatable by anyone wanting to try.

Q: Why does the urine change color just before I light the tinder? Did I cheat?

A: The urine changes color mid video, and that’s because when I went to re-set my camera for a different angled shot, I dropped the first sack of urine. Awkward to hold the sack, and adjust the camera on rocky terrain at the same time. I lost my urine and had to wait for another round .. which, by that point was more hydrated because of all the water I’d drank earlier, and therefore more clear in color. In either case, I have the same success igniting tinder with either liquid lens so the difference made by the color is negligible.
