Although I didn't find the video very interesting, the topic of understanding 
these technologies can be helpful.  There is a great book (re)publishing 
company that prints old machine shop manuals and has a few interesting books 
of their own.  They cover everything from do-it-yourself forges and making a 
metal shop from scrap to glass making, alcohol stills, steam engines, and 
photography.

I'm thinking of all the glass, plastic, and metal dumped in the parks where I 
live and wondering how practical it might be to recycle it myself as a hobby.

Sorry for the OT pollution, won't be repeated.
I was impressed with the breadth, depth and scope of technology these days,
might be useful to us or perhaps not. Certainly technological advances
in the study of life in the soil and plants is. Seems it is all interrelated
and free-flowing except when industry seeks to coop it and block access to and
competition from ordinary and extraordinary people and communities.

John Fritz,

If you have an array of solar panels, they generate DC electricity, you'll 
need an inverter if you have AC appliances.

With no batteries, you use AC from the power company when your solar array 
isn't getting any sun.

Now, about that watch.... dunno Scott, maybe Lawrence is suggesting could 
drive a small vehicle that stores up kinetic energy (y'know they buildt a 
watch based on an engine, maybe somebody could build an engine based on a 
watch)  -I'm only half kidding.
