Redde R1 Fuel Cell: Revisited and Rebranded

"Redde R1 Fuel Cell: Revisited and Rebranded" is the video doing most of the work on Engineer775 right now. As the title says, it is a return visit: a fuel cell the channel has looked at before, back under a new name. Three weeks after it went up, it is nearing 40,000 views and still picks up more each day than anything else on the shelf.

The channel belongs to the man behind Practical Preppers, the company he founded in 2012 to design and install grid-tied and off-grid power systems. He started posting back in 2008 while building out his own homestead, and his about text makes a simple promise: everything is tested in the field first. That shows in the two older videos still finding viewers. One is an outdoor installation of EG4's FlexBoss and GridBoss gear. The other, LunaVolt, is billed as a solar setup that never sends you indoors to fiddle with anything.

No new uploads went out, and the channel held close to its usual pace, a little over 2,600 views a day, with its subscriber count unmoved at 332,000. Among the DIY and home channels nearest its size, the big weeks belonged to Dreamy Interior and Melt TheStress Out, each pulling in millions. Engineer775 works in a slower register: a fuel cell, a breaker panel, a wiring choice that has to hold up for years.
