This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Electricity.
In this Badge Bit, you will augment a pickup or other rig to be a generator. Instead of maintaining a generator to power your tools, why not use the engine in your car? Let's add some batteries to your rig so it can stack some functions!
Here's a
video of a pretty nice system:
And another that is also in-line with the aim of this BB (except for lacking one battery):
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- has two batteries (not counting the vehicle's battery)
- has fuses at both ends of the main supply wire
- can provide AC and DC power
- is a relatively permanent installation
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
- the parts you're putting together
- a short description of the build
