Overview and quick tour of a 12 volt electrical system I set up in my room. The battery is being charged using the wall outlet as of now.
UPDATE:
See "12 Volt Room II" for my updated system with new batteries and charge controller.

I eventually plan to have a solar panel for charging the battery and powering my stuff.
Video of my current 12 volt room setup showing the new batteries, updated power panel, iGo universal charger, laptop DC-DC converter, and the Xantrex C-40 charge controller.
I currently use a car battery charger to keep the batteries topped off but will be hooking solar panels up in the future
It was very cold today so I decided to turn the furnace on which I rarely use. I made a video as well of the furnace starting up.
You'll hear the gas valve click open at 1:40 followed shortly by the 4 main burners lighting off. The loud noise near the end is the indoor blower fan comming on.
Monthly test of the California Institution for Men Chino Prison community alert sirens. Siren featured here is mounted on the north water tower about two trusses up.
Commercial for Toyota's Tacoma pickup involving a meteor impact. Yep, it's the famous "meteor hits truck" video but without the end cut off. The burning peice of wreckage falling out of the sky near the end was the dirt bike that was in the back of the truck. Toyota has a bunch of other commercials their trucks surviving weird things.
