Can you use these to power other things? how do know if you have made enough power?

Stef fi

Love it

Trēva

I guess in emergencies, one often doesn't pack safety glasses? I'm only slightly teasing... Plenty of people (white men) have mocked me for mentioning them. But then I wear them anytime I'm using a power tool. Lol thank you for this.

John Caywood

This was the “in case you missed it in Jr. High”introduction. It reminded me that my 9th grade reaction to similar demonstrations was basically Why do I care? Electricity comes from the wall switch and batteries from the store. A good reminder of the basics of conductivity. Keep going.

CheeseWizard

We know 'Billy Nye the science guy', but 'Beau, Beau the survival bro' has a decent ring to it! :D

Ocean Light

I agree with Sean; audio is too low

sandy

Thanks Beau, the W.H.O. shares a method of using PEET bottles to Purify water. Couple this with the two liter sand then campfire charcoal system and you’re good to go. Thanks again!

William Stefens

Beau meets McGuire for staying connected and safe when power is out. Great stuff!!

DrMaryBee

That McGyver patch! Also a McGyver patch is a thing!

Sean Lantis

Love it. Audio seems low. And way more apron please 🙏🤣🤣🤣

Mo po

Thanks a lot! Valuable stuff. Makes me feel like I'm back at the scouts again.

Gabe

When life gives you a lemon, cut it in half

Kevin Pepe

Looks like this will be a very informative series. Thank you Beau and teams for all you do!

I think I see it. `The Roads to Understanding Batteries'? The question mark is because it was uploaded a month ago, but I don't remember it, so maybe it's been waiting there while you were busy with other things?

Trifton Dolbier

Thanks buddy, love your channels you are the Only thing that keeps me going. Keep up the amazing work.

No access for me either. Shame because it looks interesting.

Sandra Blomberg

No access 🤔 Perhaps it is accessible on a higher tier than I am on 🤔🖖✌️☮️🌈

Melissa Chapin

Would that be 8am Eastern Standard Time, please? I’m 🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧 and we’re putting our clocks ahead this weekend so I’m all over the shop. 🤸‍♀️➰✨🕰️💨 <— read R to L

Ken Ferris

I can’t open it, as well.

Lauren Wagstaff

Oh, well all notice that. And his hat too though that doesn’t change nearly as often as it used to.

Melissa Chapin

I was going to say either Dr. Who or MacGyver but I didn’t want to outdate myself, having moved to England in the 90s. Your easter eggs are 😘👌 sir!

Trifton Dolbier

Can't watch it beau. 😭

Mahadma

I'm a big fan about seeing the world through the lens you describe. The video, however, seems more like nifty science experiments than actionable information. To become really fascinating under the lens of creating useful amounts of DIY energy out of readily available items, I suspect you'd be limited to wind energy (or a bio-gas generator as a more dangerous option) As for the methods you describe, I'd like to have seen a. information on the scalability (or lack thereof) of the different methods, b. the voltage and current produced by each method and its longevity, c. a schematic diagram for the soda can experiment (I tried to get chatGPT to create one from a screenshot, and while it was able to properly explain the circuit in technical terms it was unable to create a usable diagram - maybe in 6 months...) Maybe I'm missing the point and your aim is to spark curiosity, which this video succeeds in.

Mo po

Somehow I'm blocked from watching this, but I'm sure it's great and informative. Good luck with all the other new videos.

Beau of The Fifth Column

This video will go back public at 8am.

Ro

Granarchy here. This is great! It's exactly the kind of thing I want to learn about. The more practical the information, the better. I'm ordering the kit right now so I can practice before The Big Quake levels Seattle.

Frederik

Cool. Sound needs work!

Barry Drake

I like it a lot, and I agree that starting with basics is a great idea. Some of us have done these things before, and others haven't, but it never hurts (and often helps) to review the basics. That's true of dancing as well as "survival" skills (I'm a dance teacher).

alexander gaitan

Science teacher Beau is going to be a lot of fun! My critiques are regarding the audio and video. The volume was inconsistent and frequently too low so I had to crank up the volume on my end. The video was sometimes too bright and washed out the colors. Aside from that the knowledge was great!

Frances Wong

Will be a good series. Telling us to be patient and pay attention because this will be incremental knowledge was important. I don't actually have much interest in this but I like learning stuff from you. Also, growing up poor means that I am partial to macgyvering stuff!

Cindy Lemaire

Fascinating! And sound quality needs some tweaking, both volume and clarity.

Sturdy

The thumbnail makes it look like you're smoking the battery like a cigar and also lighting your beard on fire. I find this deeply amusing and thank you for the chuckle. The best science teachers know that nothing goes with lab demonstrations better than performance art. Appreciate you.

Mary Daniels

Hey, Beau.. I wonder if anyone else here pays attention to the shelf stuff in the back.. pretty clever from time to time.. as well as the teeshirts.

CheeseWizard

You’re truly a man who is all about ‘empowering the people’, pun intended my friend. 😀

Koolgrndaddysweets forever

Yes Beau, something that would absolutely be appreciated for us Boomers with high blood pressure that sometimes have to take ur advice and chill for a few but still want to have another way to support your platform as in, I've missed a lot since the Supreme Court started it's 🤬a couple of weeks ago, so I've been chilling to regain my sanity reading the Pelican Brief, but having some more Beau would be great, I've come a long way from my youth but trying to become a secular humanist but I still have to much hate over come but not giving up till push me off the cliff 🫣 Thank you and your team and of course your loving family ✊👍👏💙

Alexandra Medina

Love the series idea… love the MacGyver patch even more. 🤭😁Thank you for all you and your crew do for humanity. Looking forward to learning more!

evistre

This one is super quiet - but I love it anyway! Thanks for sharing, love this idea.

W A Myers

Projects with Beau, love it, I am guessing editors will go in and fine turn the sound. If this is multiple part one, that might be mentioned with the teaser picture, but I get the concept after making a battery.

Arthur Block IV

That was absolutely awesome! I'm very looking forward to the series. These are some neat things that I think are going to be necessary. I hope they're not going to be necessary but they may be. Thank you Beau!! Do you know if your planned trip up route 66 will take you to Oklahoma City? Or at least to Edmond Oklahoma? I would personally love to shake your hand. The first time I ever watched one of your videos, I literally paused it right after you said your intro and looked at bestie and said what is this Trumper are going to say... And man I have never been so glad that I was so wrong 😞 I have learned so much and if so happy I found you! I literally show you to every one of my friends and have used your Thanksgiving advice more than once! Keep it up! You're amazing!

Beau of The Fifth Column

MacGyver. A character on a TV show that always had to apply science to survive.

Donald Wert

When you talked about getting everyone on the same page as far as the basics go, I heard Julie Andrewssinging "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start..." from the Sound of Music. And that's a good thing.

Teckriter

Thank you! I can use this as an applied science lesson for my teen. I may even teach my 9 year old.

Melissa Chapin

Excellent stuff, Beau & Team! Thank you so much for these. Can’t wait for the next ones!! I missed the patch meaning tho, unless it’s Dr. Who (🇺🇸 in 🇬🇧, here). Would someone please enlighten me? Many thanks again.
