Has anyone been able to make a homemade version that works?

How does one verify the Del Mod V?

I am posting here to see if there is any interest in my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid Battery. The Escape itself still runs & could be driven to your location. The vehicle has multiple problems at 350,000+ miles and it's time to retire it. As far as I know, the battery is still good so the resale is...

Thanks for your comment! I am however looking for info on sand batteries, not water.

Greetings! I am going to assemble my larger sand battery I posted about here: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/sand-battery-experement.67368/ I have made a few slight changes & have purchased a large metal barrel measuring 6' tall and a 4' diameter. Before I start assembling this large...

I plan on heavy insulation!

My system will be stand-alone as well, completely separate from my main solar array.

Thanks for your input! I am in a very rural area with lots of free sand on my property. I am not interested in the water version, only the sand version.

You get presents & money under your pillow from them? Lol

I plan on eventually making the Tesla system my main one after it is working & I have a better idea of how much I need just to charge the Cybertruck.

Daytime is what I plan on. Arizona is ideal for it.

Good clarification questions! My average use: every other day or every few days, 100 to 200 mile round trip. I live in a remote area and have to drive a long ways to small towns. The Cybertruck would be a second vehicle and I would not be fully reliant on it. Occasionally: drive the full or...

You are correct, it may not. It will give me more time to get my array up for the charging station.
