Introduction to the DC Head Unit - WWW.PortableUniversalPower.com
I own the original box for the 115, just need to get the quick reference panel.Awesome quality Bill..
Awesome product, was wondering if their 575 model would fit also. It does need a little more juice to do the 50 watts??
The 575 is compatible. Power is fine for the 50 watts. The oversized mic still fits in the mic pocket.
Beautiful machine! Definitely on the wish list.
Thank you! We would love to build you one!
A single band GMRS would not be referred to as a shack in a box. That's a term more for something like a IC-7100 or the like, all modes, all bands generally. Along the same lines not many folk would show you to their radio shack is they had just a single GMRS rig. It would just be a part of a room not the purpose of a room unless you're just the guy with lots of extra rooms. Kool bits o kit you guys build though.
You guys make some truly awesome stuff! Absolutely love everything I've purchased and would love to buy more. I miss the days when phone calls and emails were returned.
Looks great!
Thanks Commsprepper! Great to hear from you!
Bill, very excited to see the new product releases. Watching the videos now. -Todd K4VIA
Nice but very pricey
Do you have a list of known good radios for the Recon? I was considering getting one and throwing a Anytone 578 into it for an EMCOMM/RACES solution.
absolutely beautiful - and as an owner of said radio, I WANT :D
AWESOME!!!!
Thanks, Jason!
Is this unit 12 volt regulated?
There is no regulation, but the LiFePo4 battery bank provides 12.5 - 12.8 volts through 90% of it's power curve. Voltage drop under load is small. This allows us to avoid the cost, complexity, and failure-modes created by the additional component.
Sign me up.... I need one ASAP! Really nice design as a 'grab & go' box.... is there only one size for now?
Thanks, Vic! Yes, for now, only this size... we will begin development soon on the next unit in the 'Air' series... we are still debating what should be the priority next: Smaller (like the Operators) or larger (like the Commanders). The Operator Air would develop quicker, be simpler, and less expensive. A Commander would take more time and be more complex... If you want the Recon Air, visit the product page here: www.portableuniversalpower.com/recon-air/ ...and make your purchase, or call the shop at (931) 207-0079 if you have questions.
Looks great, wonderful idea.
Thanks, and MAGA!
This is soooo rad!
Thank you!
Very nice setup!
Thank you, Stuart!
I'm interested! I have a year round creek in the back yard.
That's very slick. I've never seen one of these before, and I'm very interested in learning more about it. A couple questions for now, is that standard PVC pipe for now for proof of concept, or is it furniture grade PVC pipe, which is UV rated to be outdoors? Can you angle the nose and tail up some to increase the water flow to the water wheel and would that increase the GPH? I'm thinking for watering a large garden and possibly live stock. Having almost 500 GPD of water is more than most will ever need for everyday use. Keep up the great work.
It is standard schedule 40 PVC. My research into the effects of UV made me comfortable with this choice. UV degradation, even long-term, only penetrates a few thousandths of an inch into the surface of standard PVC, the only real effect being discoloration, but not mechanical degradation. Furniture grade PVC is treated to not discolor. I wanted the nose in the water to deflect any floating debris from the paddles... that said, yes, If the nose cleared the water you would likely see an rpm increase. A machine like this, though is not about speed so much as torque. It is inherently slow-moving, which should prolong the life of the whole assembly, and makes the effects of imbalances less pronounced.
@@hardenedpower That's a good point about speed, balance, and resulting vibration, and it will shorten the life of the pump. I guess building one or two more would be the way to go if more water is needed. Maybe in the future, design a multiple wheel pump, with one behind the other, and the water hoses are spliced together and going to one feed hose. I'm just the kind of person who likes a back up for the really important things like power and water. This is a little off topic, but have you guys ever considered building a compact, simple, light weight way to carry in a back pack, a radio like the Midland MTX400? Keep up the great work.
Great Bill ! I'm watching during a blackout in NJ in my living room, lit by 2 Nano LEDs. Check out a ram pump as well. Good stuff!
I am glad the Nano LEDs are working for you! ;-) I have worked with ram pumps... I just wanted to avoid the maintenance and tuning, and or river is more suited to steady, slow water...
interesting
This is awesome guys! Great job!
Oh I just saw the full intro!
Looks good. A video with it setup, and with the 40mm box, coming soon?
Hey Glenn, me two! 😄
I want one!
Glen, I think you need a few! One for you, one for Pierce Point, and one for the Team!
Hardened Power Yep! I’ll be giving you a call in a week or so about our growing radio show.
That sounds good. I like prepping 2.0 and I am pleased it is doing well! I MISS AMERICA.
Nice system and perfect choice of a radio for it.
Thanks!
There are a number of people who sell Powerpoles on Amazon in various packages. You might want to see if some of them would be interested in selling them. You'd get more visibility for it without the hassle.
This is great- are you guys still making these?
Yes. They ship everyday, all over the world. We would be happy to make you some. ;-)
Awesome job!
7:52 If the SLA/AGM solar controller is safe to use with a LiFePo4, then can any SLA/AGM charger be used with the Dakota Lithium batteries without decreasing performance or life cycle as stated on their website??
Did you take your show name from Dave Jones' "Amp Hour Podcast"? theamphour.com/
Umm... not on purpose. I have never heard of the show. I hope he doesn't mind!
@@hardenedpower He probably won't mind. It's a good show, though, you should check it out. Dave runs the EEVBlog website and UA-cam channel. Lots of good electronics talk.
Heads up on the company link. Fix the link to include the "m" at the end of com. Otherwise, AWESOME looking power supply!
Fixed. Thank you! ;-)
Great innovation again guys. I would like to offer these great products into Australia.
Whoa that wood looks amazing! Great work!
I might have to get one of those...
We would love to build you one. ;-)
Nice!
Thanks, Commsprepper, glad you like it. Are you still down South?
Would you please create a video on the Commander 7100? I just happened upon your website earlier while looking at your Raspberry Pi case and selected the link to see what the Commander 7100 was all about. I FLIPPED OUT!!! It’s exactly what I’m looking for. I would love to see a breakdown of the Commander 7100 just as you’ve done for this Yaesu case. Thank you! INCREDIBLE work!!! Well done!
Great solutions Bill.
Thanks guys. LiFePo4 for my JuiceBox showed up today and installed it as I was watching. Thanks again for great products.
Excellent. ;-)
SERGIO!!!!
What type of port is the solar input?
5.5 x 2.1. The most common size available.
i have like 6 bat pacs and all the accessories but the nano light and multitap and love every piece of it.
Great show, awesome product! Keep up the good work guys!
The "Tinker Toys" of electronics. ..
Yes!
Cool stuff 😄😄😄
Thanks!
Great way to improve your channel and start some thing new in 2019. I'm really enjoying this style of video, and it was the fastest half amp hour I've had on youtube. I'm looking forward to the new video on that 1K Juice Box with the pure sine wave inverter. I have a lot of questions, but I'll wait for the video as well as videos on other new items. Keep up the great work.
yall have some great products, keep the vids coming. kd5hqf/wqus370
Great, very interesting....keep it coming...
Thanks, nr3rful! Good to see you!
Looking forward to future episodes. It would be great if you guys talked about the batteries that you look to be building that are behind Sergio in the video. You will probably want to update the date on your camera as it is showing 2018 instead of 2019.
I forgot to mention I ordered a Juicebox G2 without batteries and solar panel earlier this month, so looking forward to using it!
This is great! Would love to see more. "It says it right there, it has 50 mile range. If you shoot it out of a cannon." Hilarious.
