The iMac G4 is easily one of the most iconic industrial designs ever, so seeing modern hardware like an Intel NUC fitted inside to bring a non-working unit back to life is awesome.

Using a rolling workshop toolbox as the enclosure is a really practical way to keep a hefty 66Ah setup mobile. Great job fitting the solar charge controller, battery monitor, and multiple output options into a clean, expand-ready design.

In preparation for his move, he wanted to be ready, regardless of what mother nature threw at him. And so, the off-grid solar power charge station was born, capable of recharging flashlights and powering small devices without skipping a beat! It boasts a total of 66Ah battery bank with a 100w solar panel and multiple charging options. It was considerably less expensive as a project than a commercial device would have been, and it could even be expanded in the future.
