DIY Solar Panel Mounts for 100 Watt Solar Panels- $25 per mount

Made a new video on the solar panel mounts I designed. I couldn't believe the prices on Amazon and eBay as well as other vendors on how much a 100 watt solar panel mount costs. The prices range from $75 minimum after purchasing the actual mount, screws, unistrut or wood, etc. The panel itself is $110. I just found this to be ridiculous so wanted to design a mount that costs less than $25. Here it is!

DIY Wind Turbine Power Overload

It's been very windy in Central Florida this week, and my resistive load circuit on my wind turbine had a power overload. I had to replace a wire on the circuit after it shorted out. This video goes over what I did and why I replaced the wire.
