6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: wymus Radio. This is one of those things I saw

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: popping up yesterday where I would not want to be

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: living next to this person. Okay, it is kind of

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: scary when you're next to somebody in a vehicle or

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: in a house, you know, you'll really know what they're

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: doing or what's going on. Man powers his home for

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: eight years using over one thousand laptop batteries. What that

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: sounds again, I'm not a scientist, not a rocket surgeon.

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: That sounds like a firehouse.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that sounds so dangerous.

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Think of a hot our laptops got powering Microsoft word.

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine you in your house. Oh my gosh, excuse me.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: So what begame nine years ago is simple plan for

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: a DIY project, laid out on airnet forum, which also

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: so he was.

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: His DIY project was to power his whole house from

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: the get go, not just like a blender.

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so is hailed as a monumental achievement, both

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: from a sustainable energy standpoint and from the perspective of

25
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: battery recycling. It doesn't Again, I'm not an electrical guy.

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: That that sounds like a disaster.

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: Wait, house so dangerous. I would never go to that house.

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: And that was my friend be like, yeah, I'm not

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: not doing that, So I guess the guy.

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: Over time, he says he masked more than one thousand

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: second hand laptop batteries, which is fantastic. They end up

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: installing a separate warehouse about fifteen years from his home,

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: or so he speaks. In the beginning, battery discharge rates

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: were uneven, the differences in the cells, Yeah, because he

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: would need to have the same battery.

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: And also do you have to replace them all the time?

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: I assume so, And because I hold in that kind

38
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: of thing too, causing some of the drain faster than others.

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: So he started taking part laptop batteries, arranging the cells

40
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: in custom racks. Again, imagine your neighbor's doing that.

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Well.

42
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: So did he just want to be like, hey, I

43
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: did it?

44
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: I think so. I think it's trying to brage his

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: friends online. So it's been rank continuously for eight years.

46
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, according to him, that a single

47
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: battery cell has failed.

48
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: Sense I don't believe that. Hey, listen, they say you

49
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: impress a lot of people. If you live in your meat,

50
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: please don't and also if you are I don't want

51
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: to know.

52
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably a better way of putting it. So

53
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 2: there you go. He said he has collected extra batteries.

54
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: He's around six hundred and fifty for now, So there

55
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: we go. It's an intern Johnny Morning.
