Early release
Added 2024-03-28 02:29:38 +0000 UTCStart of a new series of videos on the road. The second one is already done and honestly is much better with more live footage. Let me know what you think.

Can you use these to power other things? how do know if you have made enough power?

2024-03-31 10:56:33 +0000 UTCI guess in emergencies, one often doesn't pack safety glasses? I'm only slightly teasing... Plenty of people (white men) have mocked me for mentioning them. But then I wear them anytime I'm using a power tool. Lol thank you for this.

2024-03-31 07:35:51 +0000 UTCThis was the “in case you missed it in Jr. High”introduction. It reminded me that my 9th grade reaction to similar demonstrations was basically Why do I care? Electricity comes from the wall switch and batteries from the store. A good reminder of the basics of conductivity. Keep going.

2024-03-28 17:33:26 +0000 UTCI agree with Sean; audio is too low

2024-03-28 17:14:42 +0000 UTCThanks Beau, the W.H.O. shares a method of using PEET bottles to Purify water. Couple this with the two liter sand then campfire charcoal system and you’re good to go. Thanks again!

2024-03-28 14:56:47 +0000 UTCBeau meets McGuire for staying connected and safe when power is out. Great stuff!!

2024-03-28 14:48:59 +0000 UTCThat McGyver patch! Also a McGyver patch is a thing!

2024-03-28 13:20:15 +0000 UTCLove it. Audio seems low. And way more apron please 🙏🤣🤣🤣

2024-03-28 13:04:12 +0000 UTCThanks a lot! Valuable stuff. Makes me feel like I'm back at the scouts again.

2024-03-28 12:33:45 +0000 UTCLooks like this will be a very informative series. Thank you Beau and teams for all you do!

2024-03-28 12:30:48 +0000 UTCI think I see it. `The Roads to Understanding Batteries'? The question mark is because it was uploaded a month ago, but I don't remember it, so maybe it's been waiting there while you were busy with other things?

2024-03-28 11:32:38 +0000 UTCNo access 🤔 Perhaps it is accessible on a higher tier than I am on 🤔🖖✌️☮️🌈

2024-03-28 11:15:48 +0000 UTCWould that be 8am Eastern Standard Time, please? I’m 🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧 and we’re putting our clocks ahead this weekend so I’m all over the shop. 🤸♀️➰✨🕰️💨 <— read R to L

2024-03-28 10:50:00 +0000 UTCI can’t open it, as well.

2024-03-28 10:38:59 +0000 UTCOh, well all notice that. And his hat too though that doesn’t change nearly as often as it used to.

2024-03-28 10:35:57 +0000 UTCI was going to say either Dr. Who or MacGyver but I didn’t want to outdate myself, having moved to England in the 90s. Your easter eggs are 😘👌 sir!
Melissa Chapin
2024-03-28 10:06:01 +0000 UTCCan't watch it beau. 😭
Trifton Dolbier
2024-03-28 09:33:02 +0000 UTCI'm a big fan about seeing the world through the lens you describe. The video, however, seems more like nifty science experiments than actionable information. To become really fascinating under the lens of creating useful amounts of DIY energy out of readily available items, I suspect you'd be limited to wind energy (or a bio-gas generator as a more dangerous option) As for the methods you describe, I'd like to have seen a. information on the scalability (or lack thereof) of the different methods, b. the voltage and current produced by each method and its longevity, c. a schematic diagram for the soda can experiment (I tried to get chatGPT to create one from a screenshot, and while it was able to properly explain the circuit in technical terms it was unable to create a usable diagram - maybe in 6 months...) Maybe I'm missing the point and your aim is to spark curiosity, which this video succeeds in.

2024-03-28 08:38:41 +0000 UTCSomehow I'm blocked from watching this, but I'm sure it's great and informative. Good luck with all the other new videos.

2024-03-28 08:00:56 +0000 UTCGranarchy here. This is great! It's exactly the kind of thing I want to learn about. The more practical the information, the better. I'm ordering the kit right now so I can practice before The Big Quake levels Seattle.

2024-03-28 06:05:06 +0000 UTCCool. Sound needs work!
Frederik
2024-03-28 05:28:43 +0000 UTCI like it a lot, and I agree that starting with basics is a great idea. Some of us have done these things before, and others haven't, but it never hurts (and often helps) to review the basics. That's true of dancing as well as "survival" skills (I'm a dance teacher).
Barry Drake
2024-03-28 05:27:41 +0000 UTCScience teacher Beau is going to be a lot of fun! My critiques are regarding the audio and video. The volume was inconsistent and frequently too low so I had to crank up the volume on my end. The video was sometimes too bright and washed out the colors. Aside from that the knowledge was great!
alexander gaitan
2024-03-28 04:46:38 +0000 UTCWill be a good series. Telling us to be patient and pay attention because this will be incremental knowledge was important. I don't actually have much interest in this but I like learning stuff from you. Also, growing up poor means that I am partial to macgyvering stuff!
Frances Wong
2024-03-28 04:26:00 +0000 UTCFascinating! And sound quality needs some tweaking, both volume and clarity.
Cindy Lemaire
2024-03-28 04:23:20 +0000 UTCThe thumbnail makes it look like you're smoking the battery like a cigar and also lighting your beard on fire. I find this deeply amusing and thank you for the chuckle. The best science teachers know that nothing goes with lab demonstrations better than performance art. Appreciate you.
Sturdy
2024-03-28 04:05:10 +0000 UTCHey, Beau.. I wonder if anyone else here pays attention to the shelf stuff in the back.. pretty clever from time to time.. as well as the teeshirts.
Mary Daniels
2024-03-28 04:03:05 +0000 UTCYou’re truly a man who is all about ‘empowering the people’, pun intended my friend. 😀
CheeseWizard
2024-03-28 03:44:41 +0000 UTCYes Beau, something that would absolutely be appreciated for us Boomers with high blood pressure that sometimes have to take ur advice and chill for a few but still want to have another way to support your platform as in, I've missed a lot since the Supreme Court started it's 🤬a couple of weeks ago, so I've been chilling to regain my sanity reading the Pelican Brief, but having some more Beau would be great, I've come a long way from my youth but trying to become a secular humanist but I still have to much hate over come but not giving up till push me off the cliff 🫣 Thank you and your team and of course your loving family ✊👍👏💙

2024-03-28 03:41:36 +0000 UTCLove the series idea… love the MacGyver patch even more. 🤭😁Thank you for all you and your crew do for humanity. Looking forward to learning more!
Alexandra Medina
2024-03-28 03:13:25 +0000 UTCThis one is super quiet - but I love it anyway! Thanks for sharing, love this idea.
evistre
2024-03-28 03:11:26 +0000 UTCProjects with Beau, love it, I am guessing editors will go in and fine turn the sound. If this is multiple part one, that might be mentioned with the teaser picture, but I get the concept after making a battery.
W A Myers
2024-03-28 02:58:44 +0000 UTCThat was absolutely awesome! I'm very looking forward to the series. These are some neat things that I think are going to be necessary. I hope they're not going to be necessary but they may be. Thank you Beau!! Do you know if your planned trip up route 66 will take you to Oklahoma City? Or at least to Edmond Oklahoma? I would personally love to shake your hand. The first time I ever watched one of your videos, I literally paused it right after you said your intro and looked at bestie and said what is this Trumper are going to say... And man I have never been so glad that I was so wrong 😞 I have learned so much and if so happy I found you! I literally show you to every one of my friends and have used your Thanksgiving advice more than once! Keep it up! You're amazing!

Beau of The Fifth Column
2024-03-28 02:52:20 +0000 UTCWhen you talked about getting everyone on the same page as far as the basics go, I heard Julie Andrewssinging "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start..." from the Sound of Music. And that's a good thing.
Donald Wert
2024-03-28 02:52:14 +0000 UTCThank you! I can use this as an applied science lesson for my teen. I may even teach my 9 year old.

2024-03-28 02:50:58 +0000 UTCExcellent stuff, Beau & Team! Thank you so much for these. Can’t wait for the next ones!! I missed the patch meaning tho, unless it’s Dr. Who (🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧, here). Would someone please enlighten me? Many thanks again.
Melissa Chapin
2024-03-28 02:45:57 +0000 UTCLike the coolest science teacher in the world, yes, please!
