Instructables Podcast Vol. 1 - Build a Greener Life: Robbtoberfest

video Instructables Podcast Vol. 1 - Build a Greener Life: Robbtoberfest
Part of Instructables' mission is to inspire our community to create and share great projects. We do this though contests, theme months, and challenges that are seasonally appropriate, part of a bigger cultural trend, or simply areas where we want to see more great Instructables. This year we've decided that our overarching theme will be "Green."

To kick off our Green theme of 2009, comes the first in a series of podcasts from Instructables featuring just some of the outstanding projects and authors on the site. In this first episode, titled "A Greener Life," we talk to Instructables community member Robbtoberfest, whose eco-friendly projects represent exactly the kind of DIY green ingenuity we love to inspire and share at Instructables.

How About an uninterruptable power supply using 1 relay a 12v. power source and rechargeable battery?
Apr 9, 2009. 8:46 PMxtremd says:
Why would you need the relay and the 12 volt?
Apr 10, 2009. 7:38 AMdrbill says:
To handle the high current passing to the battery and/or a radio transmitter. The contacts are rated at 20A so if you wire all the contacts together to make and break the positive 12v. side from the power supply you double the current carrying capacity of the relay. I know there are was of using silicon devices but the unit I made with the relay is easily replaceable in seconds in locations that there may not be enough power to heat a solder iron. Yes I know there are ways to just plug in a silicon device as there are for a relay however a relay is not prone to EMP from lightening or static electricity. My short wave station is hardened to protect it from these problems. Also the UPS is a lot cheaper than a real UPS. Works good and is so retro.

Nice, my dad's currently making a portable chicken coop with his new welder. It's pretty cool, knowing you're using something that's creating a pool of molten metal that's 1700•C. I wonder when other welders (people) started welding, I tried it for my very first time just last week at the age of 13.

Great feature! I'm really glad Instructables will be encouraging eco-friendly products this year. I'm featuring this podcast series on my own upcoming post on the environmental blog Super Eco (http://www.supereco.com).
Good luck! I'm sure you'll get some innovative submissions.
