*** Youtube/Video thread ***

I'm finding this channel interesting. The video titles can be rather clickbaity, but the content is detailed tech and engineering. Detailed enough to ensure that a viewer could duplicate the results, with precise explanations of what's done and why and what the required settings are. This video is about fans and heatsinks and "overclocking" solar panels, so it seems like a good fit for here.

The simple summary is that with the right knowledge, some relatively cheap materials, some relatively cheap off the shelf components and the use of equipment to cut and bend aluminium plating he was able to increase the net power output of an off the shelf solar panel by about 4% while also probably extending the working lifespan of the panel. He also talks about scalability, how to increase the efficiency when implemented on a larger scale, stuff like that.
