It's finally completed! I hope you all enjoy this video. I'm already in the scripting stage of my next project and will have more to share soon!

I Turned my Lawnmower into a Tiny Camper

DeleteMe international Plans: https://international.joindeleteme.com In this video I build a mini camper from a zero-turn lawnmower. This camper is the start of my efforts to apply my projects on a practical scale. In future videos we'll continue to explore radiative cooling, power generation and storage, outdoor skills, and many other things that can be put to the test when applied to this camper. I had a lot of fun with this build, so I wouldn't be surprised if we made more mini living spaces in the future.

I've always wondered why more people don't convert zero-turn mowers for projects... They're so fun! Very cool mini-camper. Edit: Also, I've have that same american boys handy book since childhood, and it has so much good stuff in it that is seemingly lost to the past!

Could you not just paint the outside of a house with intumescent coating and then apply a weatherproof paint on top of that? Anyway, very inspiring video!

Since I see you posted on YT for a poll on what to make next, I wanted to let you know of something I thought you might like doing. I was watching the YouTuber Technology Connections’ videos on heat pumps, and one of the issues with them he brings up is that the coolant they use for it is either super toxic for the environment, or super expensive. While watching them I had the thought, “well NightHawkInLight could probably make one that’s safe and cheap.” I was wondering if you would like to do something like that? Find a new solution for a coolant to use in heat pumps and refrigerators all together?

Also commenting re: what video to make next. My personal favourite topic is radiative cooling. But, as I also commented on YouTube. In F1 circles right now phase change materials are a hot topic, because apparently McLaren has figured out how to incorporate phase change into their brakes for managing heat, and are outperforming everyone on tire life. If you can find a related angle on that it could make an interesting video and likely attract a significant number of new subs from the F1 engineering nerds segment.

Beautiful digression about learning new things and then I read "selfishness brings isolation, humility brings connection" and "love can't yield to both good and evil". Damn right. I've been watching you for years and I always take away something from your work that carries on. Thank you.
