Alright, so Jackson is going to be our video art for today and I'm going to work with his dad here Anderson just for a minute, but alright we're going to get after this. So we're going to talk about we're putting a inverter system. I don't see a lot of videos on this so it's very important you know I think we should educate people in videos. So in the back of the truck you can't see it. I've got a 2000 watt inverter and some reason why I'm doing that is because I want to be able to charge up stuff on AC power. I want to be able to run power equipment out in the field like a circular saw, a skill saw out in the field with AC power not just DC power. But I want to be able to use my engine right here as a generator. Now this engine using an alternator here produce 12 volts of electricity. Excuse me, actually it's producing 14 volts with a voltage regulator and then that charges 12 volts to the system of the battery. So the battery's 12 volts, 12 volt battery and we've got to be able to produce more energy than we actually need in order for this to be charged and then run all the other electrical stuff that we need to be able to. So while the vehicle is running this engine is actually just like a generator wood in your house or what you're seeing if you have a power outage. So what we're going to do is we're going to do a two battery system here. So this is the main cranking power battery right here. So this battery is producing this energy to then go run everything on the engine including the spark plugs. But then we're going to jump off of here, run this line as you see the red line here all the way back here and we're going to put a battery in here. Now this is going to be a deep cycle battery. It gets a little bit better energy, better production, not just a cranking battery. So what we're going to do once we get to this point, we're going to take a little beautiful thing right here. It's called a smart battery isolator. Now why would we want to use this? Well the key here is and we use this into our bees and boats and all these different industries so that we can keep one thing from having. When we need to crank a battery we want to make sure that battery has the energy to crank if we're dispelling energy through the inverter. Because we're taking energy away, we don't want that to happen to the main cranking. The reason is is because I have the engine off and I'm just discharged all the energy from both batteries. I'm going to be dead in the field, right? So what we're going to do is we're going to isolate that battery by putting this little bad boy right in the middle. Now let's say what it does isn't it. If this one's discharging, it will not allow it to discharge from this battery. Now I can use a switch in RVs. We actually have a switch and that's what these two lines are for. You can put a little kick over switch and allow the energy to flow from this battery if it's charged back to the main cranking battery if the main cranking battery is dead. So that's a dead kill switch, is what that does. And it gives you that energy to go back, which is really, really neat. Now so the other thing that we've done here, we've run these large cables. The reason is is because that inverter takes a lot of energy to go from the front to the back. So we're producing a lot of voltage from the front to the back. So we have both a ground and a positive wire that we've already run to that inverter in the back. And we're going to ground that. Then we're going to have our two main battery here. We're going to put a charge line right here. And then we're also going to put a ground line from the secondary battery once we're done with that. Now the reason why we're doing that is because we got to close the circuit. One of the things you may not notice is that we're actually going to do what's called a parallel circuit. What that means is that you got a 12 volt battery to a 12 volt battery. We want it to stay in a 12 volt system. To do that, we go from a positive to a positive and negative to a negative. So you're hooking up the positive terminal to a positive terminal and negative terminal to a negative terminal. Now you may see stuff like a battery that works on operates on a piece of power equipment. And it says 18 volts or it says 24 volts. Well what does that mean? That means that the battery is actually been put in series. So that means your positive goes to the negative and then a positive to a negative, positive to a negative. What that does is each one of those ramps up voltage. So if I were to put that in here in this system and I look from the positive to the negative on this battery and then the positive to the negative on that battery, what that does is that makes this a 24 volt system. We don't want a 24 volt system because it would overload too much voltage, too much energy going there. So we want it to be a 12 volt system. So we're hooking it up in parallel. So that's kind of a simple explanation of what that does. Now here's a very good way to understand electricity. Electricity flows from a positive to a negative. It's exactly like a river. A river flows from the mountain to the ocean. So it goes from a hot place to a low place. What electricity is the same way? And it has the current and that's the reason why we call it electrical current because it flows. So that's a very good way to kind of see the unseen in this. Now you can have a back flow of current and that's something that this isolator helps with. So we put what's called diodes in there and keeps the energy from going backwards. So very important to understand how that system works so that you don't get stuck out of the field with two dead batteries. So now, but here's the cool part. When I'm going down the road, what's going to happen is this is now alternating this battery and then that battery is going to charge this battery while we're going down the road. And so I can have that inverter running and charging another equipment while I'm going down the road. So I'm getting the maximum amount of use out of my engine being a generator while I'm going somewhere. How cool is that? So that being said, we're going to finish this project up and get you some pictures and we'll finally into this and we'll let you know how it works out. You don't have a great date again.
