One million views!

Hey everyone,

For some time, I have been making YouTube videos following the builds of my electric motorcycle, electric car, rebuilding a 1970's electric riding lawn mower, and solar and water-saving experiments.

When I checked the stats on my YouTube account today, I saw for the first time that my videos have had a total of over ONE MILLION VIEWS. My account also has over 1600 subscribers!

Thanks for watching, and for your continuing support of my projects!!!

That's a common enough question that I have a standing post about it on my web page!

HEAT!

Basically, an electric heater on a timer.

One million views! That's two million eyeballs! Except for the pirates, a lot of them only have one eye. And my cat, he came with one eye :

That's a lot of views. I'm sure it inspired some people to build their own EV.

I have confirmed accounts of 4 motorcycles and one car built specifically because of people seeing my projects!
