I Bought My Kitten a Solar Water Fountain
Just a little video about a solar water feature fountain I bought for my feral kittens and any other wildlife that may use it. The cats live outside and I want to make sure they have plenty of water for all the sunny weather that the UK gets! haha I'm not sure the solar panel is that great though.

    Intro what you're going to do today, explain why, then do it. BUT speed up the part where you are doing it. When viewers see loads getting done in a couple of minutes they forget all the jobs they never got done 'today, this week, month' and will keep watching you do all the work gladly. I follow a lawn guy and all he does is tell you what's wrong with the lawn, what he's going to do about it, then does it, BUT does it on fast play. Peoples attention spans have shrank, they want to see a lawn scarified in 15 seconds, seeded in 12 and top dressed in 10. Its a drive through world we live in now, the screen is where its at.

I literally filmed the 2nd half as soon as got back from getting it cut, she didn't put any product in it so I'm sure it could have looked a little better on camera if I bothered 😂

    Ivy Watts a powerful lady, I (amps) x V (volts) = Watts. The panel needs to produce enough of amps x volts to meet the minimum wattage of the pump, I prefer to use a clamp meter to measure the amps.

Wish I could just pause time and mess about with them

  • @gavbansal967
    @gavbansal967 2 дня назад

    The solar panel has no load on i, that's why the voltage remains high, as soon as you load it, by connecting the pump, it pulls current from the panel and it will drop the panel voltage. If its sunny and the panel is uncovered, the suns energy is being converted usable electrical power. If you cover the panel, there is less power, so the pump slows down. Imagine it like a poor battery, when nothing is connected to it the voltage across the terminals will be sort of normal. If you connect a load on it, the voltage drops significantly.

  • @0liver0verson9
    @0liver0verson9 2 дня назад

    If you ask ChatGPT it says voltage does remain constant while the current varies according to weather conditions. So if the panel has enough light to function at all, the voltage level is determined by the semiconductor materials in the panel, not outside conditions.

    Come on the new Barnet was out and you didn't mention it..Does the fountain have batteies for the solar panal to store charge? It looks like the solar panel powers the pump directly, if it's a 5-7 volt pump and the solar panel can't harvest that when the sun goes behind a cloud it'll stop...maybe...🤷🏻

    I bought this last summer. Worked great for a week or two, albeit with same solar issues you had. Both my domesticated cats drank from it (it wasn't bought for that purpose). Then the seal under the frog went, and it kept emptying, so it got stored in the shed. Am 50/50 on whether to find a solution to the leak or bin it.

    I’m on the driveways and patio landscaping Facebook group, and it’s full of grumpy old experts with nothing better to do than critique and mock other peoples work. With regards to the acer, it looks like it’s dried out for a spell, hence the die back. I would mulch the soil with compost and feed liquid seaweed to help the roots along but go easy on the feed for the rest of the year. Find a more shady sheltered spot for it too. It will come back fine and you will be able to take cuttings or air layerings to make loads of them.

Get yourself a whiteboard, get the jobs listed in an order and start crossing them off! I bet you felt so much better after all that tidying, there’s something very satisfying about just having a massive tidy/clear-out. I wouldn’t worry about the insulation / mouse situation, I had a load of sips panels sat out for a year or so, I think I had one or two panels with a little nibble off an edge, that was it.
