Thanks Mike, a couple more episodes to go 😁😁

Good afternoon, David 😁😁

Yes that would work 👍👍

@@johnwynne-qx6br it took me longer to build than I expected 👍

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan have you done a video of the build.

@johnwynne-qx6br yes but it doesn't go public for a couple of weeks 👍

@GrandadIsAnOldMan I will look forward to it..thanks for letting me know 👍

@@johnwynne-qx6br one of the purposes of this "Good morning" video series is to give people a peek at what I have been working on, but as I like to work as much as a month ahead, it is a teaser. I also put stuff on Patreon, but that is rather irregular.

@@johnwynne-qx6br morning 🌞

Have you tried using an AA battery in place of the solar panel? If you are testing indoors, you will find many modern lights don't give the right light for solar panels. You need a high wattage halogen bulb or an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. If it works with a battery, then you have built it correctly, and you just need good sunshine. If it doesn't work with a battery, then you will have to take it apart and check the motor works. If the motor works, then you had something misaligned, and putting it back together might help you sort that out.

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thank you so much sir! tested with a battery and heard the gears turn than stop,so my son and I took apart and found gear was misaligned. Fixed and works now!

Well this cheese eats the magnesium pretty quickly so it is not a practical idea 😢😢

Thanks, John 👍👍

Very acidic, it ate the magnesium pretty quickly 😁

Yes, you could👍👍 I guess you were not listening to what I said. The one I talk about by Gaudesign at 01:05 uses that method. The link is in the video description. I have it in mind that I might do a video changing the NiCd cells for new ones so I would want the old battery case anyway. This project took me 4 episodes to get it to the point that I was actually rather pleased with the result.

It took me 4 episodes to get it right. I am rather pleased with the final result 😁

Yes, I like bigclive's version. There are loads of more complicated adapters on UA-cam videos that really achieve nothing more than Clive has done with his minimalist approach. There are 4 episodes in this series and I am rather pleased with the end result.

Yes, you could buy a set of NiCd cells to replace the originals. Not cheap, but cheaper than buying a replacement NiCd battery. Of course, to connect up the cells you are best using one of those little spot welders, so that would be an additional expense, plus the Nickel tab strips. Suddenly the LIDL LiIon battery seems to be a reasonable cost and a good upgrade. Add to that the fact that I already have 2 of those LIDL battery packs that I bought several years ago and never used. Check your comment 2 years ago on the video I did on the original battery teardown ua-cam.com/video/eGRzEYbYOSw/v-deo.html

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan We need to reverse the time machine. 🤣 Oh yes, those little spot welders. Well, I have one and tried to use it several times about 3 years or more ago. It kept tripping the circuit breaker, no matter what socket I plugged it into. Have a nice holiday. 👌👍

@@MrDbone75 Have a great time 👍🌞

@@onaona. thank you, you too 🌞

@cofa4011 good morning 🌞

@johnwynne-qx6br good morning, John 😁

@Lilith6.6 thanks, the sunshine always makes things look good 👍

Good morning! 🌞

That always works 👍👍

Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia. Common examples include perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations; seeing faces in inanimate objects; or lunar pareidolia like the Man in the Moon or the Moon rabbit. The concept of pareidolia may extend to include hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing voices (mainly indistinct) or music in random noise, such as that produced by air conditioners or by fans.

I am afraid I am not a photographer and have limited knowledge of brands of paper. What I do know is that it must be light sensitive paper, not the paper you would put in an ink jet printer to produce glossy photographs. There are links to my other videos from this series in the video description and here is a link to Justin Quinell's video tagged to start at the point he talks about the paper ua-cam.com/video/wtZOWEB_wcI/v-deo.htmlsi=InSsgfMkBqOYG-l5&t=312

If you mean to add another layer of reduction gears inside the gearbox I doubt you could make enough space. You could try trimming the spacers but I think it would be too difficult. Obviously you would also need to find suitable gears to match what is already there.

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan thanks for the reply, might try some Lego gears or a geared down motor

I choose to repair it because I have the ability to fix it and I find it interesting. However if you are looking at costs, you are right, repair is not economical. As for "sending" it back, that wouldn't be economical either. These cost less than the cost of a stamp. If it had failed within a reasonable time after purchase I could have taken it back to the shop where I had bought it and asked for a refund or replacement, however driving back to the shop would again cost more in petrol that the item cost me originally.

@mikeflight9 The white cabbage I used a few weeks back worked fine, so this was a surprise 🤔 It may well be that the leaves have some sort of coating the white cabbage didn't, or there is a chemical difference to the makeup. Certainly, the reason for buying it was to make a litmus solution for demonstrating acidity.

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan I have small nickel plates about 4X4 inches. I will give you a shout via em.

With enough cells in series to build up the voltage the copper/lead would probably work. As for nickel, that gives me an interesting side thought/rabbit hole 🤔 I don't know how I would identify nickel, I don't even know for certain that the copper I use is copper or the zinc I use is zinc, or for that matter if the lead was lead. The only reason I believe I have magnesium is because that is what I ordered. Without being a chemist, I don't know how I could be sure of any of the materials I have used. In fact many of the items that I have assumed to be stainless steel could well be nickel plated as that is used for the same purpose. From memory, stainless steel would be using chromium. I have just checked and stainless steel can contain chromium and/or nickel 🤔🤔 I said it was a rabbit hole.

I would suggest you research what the Coanda Effect is. I am not convinced that this car actually runs under that effect. However I am confident that it is not using a conventional propeller to "screw forwards" through the air. There is a link to a playlist in the video description where I collected together several videos on the subject.

It was worth a try. I expect that a series of 3 or 4 of them would probably do the job 😊

Good luck. You will find more information in the video description 👍👍
