Man builds 27 million mAh power bank that can charge TVs, washing machines, and thousands...

WTF?! Do you find that your portable power bank doesn’t provide the kind of juice you want? Chinese YouTube star Handy Geng felt the same way, so he created a 27 million mAh monstrosity that’s not only able to charge thousands of phones but can also power household appliances such as washing machines, though you’re not going to be slipping this one in your back pocket.

Geng starts his homemade project by welding the power bank’s 5.9-foot by 3.9-foot frame together. While that’s obviously quite far from portable in the traditional sense, he does at least add wheels for some mobility.

Most of the power appears to be provided by the same type of massive, flat battery packs you would find in an electric vehicle. Geng says the 27 million mAh capacity is enough to charge around 5,000 phones with 3,000mAh batteries fully. It also includes 60 power sockets for charging multiple mobile devices (and standard-size power banks) simultaneously, which he demonstrates.

But it’s not just mobile phones that the giant power bank can juice. Geng also shows how it can fill up an empty electric scooter that’s run flat by the side of the road, providing you’re willing to drag it using the attached rope.

Possibly the most impressive demonstration is how the power bank can be hooked up to home appliances while outdoors. We see Geng using it to watch a large-screen TV and operating a washing machine all while fishing by a river; he’s even able to cook his catch in an electric pot afterward.

Make sure to check out some of Handy Geng’s other inventions on his channel, including a homemade security mech and the somewhat overpowered corn removal tool (above).

Laudable efforts. but wouldn't be it be cooler if he added some wheels and motors. after all the battery pack looks like it was intended for an electric car.
 
Charge TVs?

Really?

Great job to both the author and supposed site "editor".
My TV is powered by a matter/antimatter battery. The constant sound of matter annihilating itself can get distracting but just watch action movies and you don't even notice.
 
Reduce that to 4x8 and you could easily slip that in the back of an F-150 and probably give you a range of 750 to 1,000 miles ..... Ford, are you paying attention?!?!
 
It is funny, but beyond that...

27million mAh is just 27kAh and one cell nowadays can provide almost 5Ah. So you need 5 to 6000 cells. A Tesla pack (P80 from 2012 for ex) has over 7000 cells, so...

There are many people into diy powerwalls that have gone far above these numbers, mr Geng gets kudos for packaging it like a ridiculous power bank.

350 to 500 miles if it's cold. Or simpler yet, just get a gas F-150 and bring a few 10 gallon gas cans.

Exactly. Gigantic power banks have existed for quite a while and are simply called electric cars or home energy storage aka powerwalls.
