The batteries and charger are available using my link:
https://amzn.to/3P2Rkrb
Here is a link to High Power SPLAKS Charger I used: https://amzn.to/45PS3mo
Lithium Ion batteries charge faster, hold their max voltage and current longer and are lighter than the old batteries. But what must be stressed is they need a Lithium Ion charger if they are the standard battery package shape.

There are commercial seed trey Tamper's available but they are expensive for what they are so I made my own. You just need to cut a piece of wood to the size of your tray and put a handle on it.

youtube videos, most of them came about due to a repair I needed to
carry out for myself or from the very long list that my wife keeps just
for me ;-) a growing and expanding list. One such item was the fact
that her laser printer was now putting messy lines, spots and smudges on
her laser prints.
After running the clean the drum routine (it hardly ever works) she
asked me to fix it. So this is me Removing Laser Printer Drum and
removing the Lines And Marks quickly and effciently. Althought this
video is about a Brother laser printer the same principle applies to
laser printer makes. However, there is never guarentee this will
complete work and I accept no responsibility if you decide to copy what I
show in this video, but it does work and often buys time to get another
roller and or ink cartridge.

achieved my result a temperature of 80+ centigrade and a hard boiled
egg. The time taken was cut by a third by adding insulation to 2 hours
15 mins.
In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg
Part 4 I've substituted the Tealight Candle for a candle sized
Methylated Spirit Burner to try and reduce the cooking time to reach 80
degrees centigrade. My modification was really successful as you will
see, if you watch all the video.
Background
The UK economy is in trouble, normal working people are regularly having
to work two or three jobs and shifts in order to bring in sufficient
money just to live. The energy crisis caused by the energy companies
price hiking with no controls other than 'The Market' ie themselves
means that working people are desperate to reduce their energy costs,
fuel bills and food bills to try to reduce the increasing amount of debt
they are having to take on just to survive. So where does that leave
those without jobs, or in such poorly paid zero hours jobs where they
find themselves with only a few pennies to spare for heating, lighting,
food and cooking or the old on miserably low UK pensions and disabled on
benefits, the worst in the free world. It leaves them with nothing. So
I've decided to set about finding out what I can achieve with the
meagrest of items and over this series of videos I will be doing
truthful and repeatable experiments and eating, drinking and staying
warm with the outcomes. scenario one: So your in a war zone, you need to
stay indoors perhaps in a cellar, you have limited water, only a single
small candle and a lighter plus a tiny 250ml pan and one egg stolen
from a local chicken. If you like the video please subscribe to the
channel, and if you know somebody struggling with poverty, let them know
about this series, the things I am learning will have greater
significance than just the video and may spark them or yourselves into
other ideas. </p><p>Malcolm aka @fixed1t</p>fixed1thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14470080491721647533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813876595884911615.post-41877188907824726812022-11-15T01:11:00.003+00:002022-11-15T01:11:49.800+00:00Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 3<p></p><p>In Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 2 I

In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg

using just a small Tealight Candle, I realised that a lot of the heat
going into the tripod mesh was being lost heating up the metal tripod
legs. So I've come up with a single fix for Preventing Heat Loss Through
Tripod Legs.
In the next experiment we will be testing this theory, but here is how I
did it.

The energy crisis caused by the energy companies price hiking with no controls other than 'The Market' ie themselves means that working people are desperate to reduce their energy costs, fuel bills and food bills to try to reduce the increasing amount of debt they are having to take on just to survive. So where does that leave those without jobs, or in such poorly paid zero hours jobs where they find themselves with only a few pennies to spare for heating, lighting, food and cooking or the old on miserably low UK pensions and disabled on benefits, the worst in the free world. It leaves them with nothing. So I've decided to set about finding out what I can achieve with the meagrest of items and over this series of videos I will be doing truthful and repeatable experiments and eating, drinking and staying warm with the outcomes. scenario one: So your in a war zone, you need to stay indoors perhaps in a cellar, you have limited water, only a single small candle and a lighter plus a tiny 250ml pan and one egg stolen from a local chicken. If you like the video please subscribe to the channel, and if you know somebody struggling with little let them know about this the things I am learning will have greater significance than just the video and may spark them or yourselves into other ideas.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Malcolm aka @fixed1t</span><div><br /></div><div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/Fntc6mk_i-s" width="480"></iframe></div>fixed1thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14470080491721647533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813876595884911615.post-33279118717156754692022-11-09T20:21:00.001+00:002022-11-09T20:21:05.349+00:00Unboxing A Small 250 ml or halt a pint Turkish Copper Bottom Milk Pan<p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>This video is an Unboxing A Small 250 ml or halt a pint Turkish Copper
Bottom Milk Pan. Over the coming weeks, months and years, I plan to use
it and others in a series experiments. Due to the rise in Fuel Poverty
with people not having sufficient income to pay for fuel or energy for
cooking, I've decided to look into the minumum that is required to
provide cooked food, hot drinks and personal heating.
The reason I have gone for this small pan is; its highly conductive
copper bottom; its sturdy stainless steel design and its size make it
heatable by a low heat sources.

a number of experiments on how somebody with very little money can
provide hot food, hot drinks and body heating with the minimal amount of

This would provide an excellent small cooker in the event of the

tangled up and pulled apart roughly. There are lots of fancy led lights
on sale for Halloween, Christmas or for garden and other parties.
Although relatively cheap as a one off they tend to be purchased in bulk
and when they are being put away they tend to be thrown in bags or
boxes with or within dying or dead batteries inside. For some spooky
sub-atomic reason, however carefully they are collected together they
always seem to tangle themselves together in such a way as to make the
user lose patience trying to pull them apart. This often involves
ripping out one or other of the wires from the powerpack in an attempt
to untangle them.
Such was the fate of these Halloween LED Bat lights and rather than
throw them away, this is how I set about fixing them.

Autumn Leaf Mulch Fast
When Autumn or the Fall arrives so does the annoying chore of racking up
all the leaves, a lot of people do it then throw them into the
recycling bin to be taken away, this is a terrible waste of good
nutrients and potential compost. Others may pile them in a huge pile in
the garden and wait for them to rot down. The problem is this takes up a
lot of space and takes years to break down. It would be much better if
you could chop them into small bits and get all the leaves into a few
bags. This is exactly what I've done using my Petrol Driven Lawn Mower
in this video.

In previous video, I showed how I restarted my dead Toyota Auris Hybrid
car after Covid 19 lockdown using a portable powerpack. It started my
dead car but the next time I went to use the battery it was dead.
Putting it on the charger gave an instant green light, but it was
totally dead. You must watch Part 1 for Part 2 to fully charge the
battery.
In - Fixing My Flat High Power Lithium Car Emergency Battery Pack - Part

I showed how I could revive the battery to 3 volts. In this video I
show how I took the battery and work on it further to fix the power
pack.

car after not using it during the Covid 19 lockdown. I purchased this
power pack to power my telescope rather than lugging a huge battery and
torch around and to be able to charge my phone at the same time. The
battery dead indeed start my dead car but I forgot to recharge it in the
car as I drove.
The next time I went to use the battery with the telescope it was dead.
Putting it on the charger gave an instant green light, but it was
totally dead. If there are no protective circuits in a power pack, they
let the lithium cells discharge to far, and the protection circuits cut
in and they die, DEAD never to be recharged by the charger.
However, after weeks of research and messing about, I've figured out a
way to recharge it. If you bought one of these super power packs and
its died and its out of the return time, on the supplier from overseas
won't help, here os what I did. You must watch Part 1 for Part 2 to
fully charge the battery.
