Water Powered Flashlight!

max — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:02:59 +0000

Back in 2007, we posted a video from MIT showing that water could possibly be used to power batteries. Well, within months, a Japanese company NoPoPo came up with water-powered batteries that can even use your own pee to power them.

Now, this water-powered flashlight is available, all powered using NoPoPo water-powered batteries, way too cool. I suggest you to get one for emergencies. This flashlight lasts virtually forever!

The NoPoPo Mini Lantern is pure craziness: a lamp powered with nothing but water! Simple to use, rechargable almost anywhere, and lasting up to ten years without losing charge, the NoPoPo is a perfect addition to any emergency kit, camping gear, survival set, and more. The versatile mini lantern can be used as either a flashlight or a unidirectional lantern; just slide the cover up to change modes.

Watch Hack – How to Make a Spanner Wrench for Taking the Back out of a Watch!

max — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:40:42 +0000

Fixing most watches involve two things, either a spanner wrench or a simple tool to pull the back out. Well, if you happen to replace those batteries on you expensive watch all the time and pay at least $10 to the watch repair shops, there’s a better way. You can learn how to make your own spanner wrench custom0-fitted to your watch so you can replace the batteries yourself. (There’s also a guide on how to make a plastic spanner wrench but probably don’t recommend (nor will it work) on watch backs)

I also replace the battery on my TokyoFlash watch couple days ago myself so I should have a howto on that real soon too.

Battery is a wind up

David Allen — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:00:57 +0000

It is about time that there was some sort of change to the way that we use batteries and finally the designer Qian Jiang has come up with a brilliant idea that is so simple a lot of people would like to think that they could have thought of that. However, as ever, they did not and Qian Jiang did.

This concept could work for all sizes of battery, all it takes is a little wind up, and I am not talking about a joke.

UPS Hack – How to Get More Capacity and Battery Power from a UPS!

max — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:58:33 +0000

UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a great way to insure that none of your real-time applications shut down while working if the power goes out for some reason. Of course, UPSes aren’t cheap these days and they can cost you an arm and a leg but there’s a UPS hack that can help you get more capacity and bettery life by adding car batteries to it. What a great idea huh? Your new hacked UPS should last you at least 3-20 times longer.

Now I have a great idea for all those UPS companies, they can simply make a UPS unit that works with any 12V car batteries! (Why would they do that though, they’d make a lot more money by selling overpriced units with smaller batteries.)

Those UPS devices you buy for your computer usually have a gel-cell battery that lasts for a few years. Less if your power goes out a lot. When you replace them, you pay a bundle, even if it’s a standard cell. This short Instructable will demonstrate how to rework an older UPS for more capacity with cheaper battery power.

Got enough power sockets?

David Allen — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:00:48 +0000

Most older houses have trouble catering for the power demands of the modern lifestyle, with one or two power sockets in a room sometimes at different ends of the room. This normally means that we end up having to resort to extension leads.

However, maybe there is a better way for us to a power the electrical item that we have accumulated, like this power point wall. As you can there is no problem finding a spare socket in this room in fact you could say that it is power point over kill.
