You probably got …
You probably got asked this a million times, but what is that background? its pretty sweet.
hey go for it, it’s …
hey go for it, it’s not my idea! everyone should do out-takes oi reck’n!
I might have to …
I might have to nick your idea and use my own in a future video. I see you are a tongue sticker-outer…I am more of a “faaaack!” man.
cheers dude! there …
cheers dude! there will be more, no doubt..
haha you fucker! re …
haha you fucker! re the error message.. yea that was a bit annoyin.. it does that from time to time and i have no idea how to stop it! i shoulda been doin the outtakes all along, theres been some corkers. ; )
Informative video.. …
Informative video…also like the outtakes and the “error connecting to server” warning that briefly hovers above your head
Good stuff once …
Good stuff once again. Looking forward to more outtakes
yea i’m lookin …
yea i’m lookin forward to those ideas you have on lighting, they sound fascinating! solar panels have come a long way but i agree they are going to have to keep improving at that rate in order for them to be a widespread viable option.
they ADD 25% to …
they ADD 25% to your bill?!?!? wtf?!? they should be promoting it ffs!

That is a …
That is a disgrace … but really of no surprise. Part of the appeal for me of homes being self-sufficient in terms of energy generation is in relegating the greed of power companied to the dustbin of history. Yes, we’d still need them if / when electric vehicles (~90% efficient by design) become commonplace, but with an entire roof of 80-90% panels many homes are going to generate more than they need, leaving excess for an energy co-op to help vehicles (~15KW per hour normal running).

i am loving this series mate.
this is a fab …
this is a fab series.
here in cornwall, there are scores of turbines generation electicity, spread across several “wind farms”
however, from the energy supplier, should you opt to receive your electricity from this renewable source, they will add 25% extra to your bill.
in other words, they are making renewables more expensive, rather that cheaper. this needs to be overturned URGENTLY. frankly i’m surprised the regulator let’s them get away with it.
For example, if we …
For example, if we had panels in the 80-90% efficiency range, then – although I haven’t done the math yet, I’m extrapolating what I’ve been doing looking at lighting only systems with 15% panels – I reckon you could generate most, if not all, the electricity you need, even in the UK climate and at worst case seasonal light conditions. 1 roof = enough for 1 house.
This would free the grid to supply energy for electric vehicles – we couldn’t presently run them as there ain’t enough grid power.
This series is …
This series is really great, Oojie. I really hope to explore the issue of renewable energy in a series of vids myself in the near future (time! time! time! never enough of, bleh!)
Keep in mind that most commercial solar panels are around 15-20% maximum efficiency. This is of course dire. They’re also still pricey. Recently 50% eff. panels have been developed, but cost a bomb.
Speaking of bombs. If just a fraction of bang money went on this tech, we could ALL be generating our own energy/cont’d
cheers genius! …
cheers genius! that’s interestin bout the green oil..
i shoulda been doin the outtakes all along.. reckon they will be a regular feature of this series.. : )
i shall try TMA, i …
i shall try TMA, i shall try..
iiii know! lol! ; )
iiii know! lol! ; )
that’s an …
that’s an interesting point there vikingNinja.. here in the UK we shut down the coal mines in the 80s, losing 10s of thousands of jobs, it crippled the economy and i didn’t see those dudes all goin to work on wind farms, lol! but we do need to move away from fossil fuels, they are just not sustainable in the long term
nice video. The …
nice video. The elephant in the room that the US doesn’t want to talk about is the fact that there is more coal here than anywhere. If you go green, you lose jobs. Poeple say you can replace them with “green” jobs, but I don’t buy it. Didn’t know that about the underground water heating system, sounds cool, just won’t be able to get hot water, only warm, but I could live with that I guess. I think nuclear is a good source as well. No air polution and low risks. Niggas is broke these days.
You have a unique …
You have a unique noise-making skill
keep it up!
keep it up!
Another great video …
Another great video
I saw a programme where they had field of algae growing to experiment on transforming it into a type of ‘ green oil ‘ Interesting.
Nice ending clips. Funny clicking sound, oojama cricket? lol
cheers MrUn! that’s …
cheers MrUn! that’s awesome, means a lot, thanks! geffel is the blakey dude yea, i’ll put a link in the side bar.. he’s english but lives in America (and is now officially an American citizen, i do believe)
Too much good info …
Too much good info has built up here, so I’ve made it a playlist on my channel. If it’s going to change, it’ll have to be one person at a time.
World tube Class vids mate.
BTW Whose geffel? you mean that American bloke with Blakey on his profile.
