how to make a homemade gadget - AA battery coffee warmer!

[Mayaghian]

has anyone else even thought of the battery getting too hot and exploding?



[the1guy2]

Fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! N n.

[dillinger9999]

I want to make a warmer to heat up water, this is called a stinger and i have seen this same thing done in jail along time ago. but i never saw it made though. I want to heat up a 5 gal. bucket of water. does anyone know how to do this using copper and stripped wire plugs in the safest way possible?

great video BTW

[66Ralphy99]

Don't worry - you won't get a shock from 1.5 volts! Could get hot in your pocket if it shorted out in there though! Also, think you made Oxygen & Hydrogen (Google electrolysis of water) so you might blow yourself up! Then again probably not enough to blow yourself up :-)

[wormroX74]

you kick ass. i love a smart woman!

[32CoolestDude]

Now i am gonna do this with Water

*Doing, Doing*

What the??!

Why do i have hydrogen and oxygen?

[anatrakya]

this thing is really effective!!

while i was watcing this vidmy computer screen got steaming !

[electronics740]

dick

[laserguy815]

ok lets not feed the hungry and just cut up a nice good pair of headphones we just spent some money on..... fair enough

[hydrosisgunner12]

thats why they invented the microwave:P

jk nice vid

[1BobSagget]

As time passes she puts it in the microwave

[iRevized]

you cant shock yourself with a AA battery, unless you put it in your mouth(which dosent hurt).

[shnimy]

Haven't you Hurd of a microwave but any way nice vid

[200chloeshow]

Why dont you make a new coffee its a hell lot cheaper and easier and safer

[ElecEng91]

...Wow. Please explain to me with VALID reasons why this doesn't work. Without simply stating that it wont work. And without retarded things like saying it's not enough voltage to have a current travelling through the coffee (which you previously stated).

And why do you want me to post a video if you don't even believe that the person who did this video actually got real results? Do you think this is a big conspiracy?

[killzpwnz0red]

Nice Video! Thanks for sharing. I would however suggest that nobody try to take this through the airport on their trip....LOL. Just sayin'

[TheGiedow]

why use a earplug if you can use a piece of copper wire?

[StinkadoodlePie]

@TheGiedow Either way is fine, just most people don't have copper wire lying around. :-)

[TheGiedow]

@StinkadoodlePie that is true



[Elijahbabyluigifan]

no offense, but you could put it in the microwave for 10 seconds and it will be just as warm....just sayin'...

[brodie1709]

It takes 50 volts to pass through the skin and produce a noticable shock so a 1.5 volt battery will absolutely not in any way shock you, you could even put it in your mouth. Also the wires on a set of headphones are insulated so just wrapping them around the metal of the corn stick would not creat any sort of connection. The last point is a 1.5 volt battery does not have enough power to create a eletrical short through the liquid to heat it that there would be no chance in this working.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

Yes a short will be created. Why would it not? Coffee has a resistance, and if you have a voltage source connected to a load, there will be current, and heat will be dissipated.

Did you not see her strip the wires? The stripped part was touching the metal. And current will flow through the cord, no matter if it's insulated.

Of course it will work, it will just take a long ass time. Stop pretending you understand this stuff.

[brodie1709]

@ElecEng91 if anything were to actually happen it might heat the coffee up 1 degree at the most. but they are saying that you should practice caution when doing this because a 1.5 volt battery will shock you when it never will.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

Once again you have no reason for thinking it will only heat up one degree. Unless you did some calculation, but I don't think you did.

And yeah you are right that 1.5V will not hurt anyone but that doesn't make you less wrong about all the other incorrect things you said. And that has nothing to do with it working or not.

Your reasons for thinking it wont work were all wrong, why are you still arguing?

[brodie1709]

@ElecEng91 try it.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

...I don't need to try it to know that it works. Unlike you I actually understand electricity.

Why are you still arguing? You were wrong about pretty much everything you said, get over it. Obviously it worked for the person who made the video, and the other people who said it worked for them.

What logical reason can you give for believing this not to work? Other than the incorrect bullshit you said earlier which wasn't even close to being right.

[brodie1709]

@ElecEng91 try it! see for yourself. and you agreed with me about the 1.5 volts not going to shock you.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

I'm not going to try it. Because I'm not going to waste my time proving something that is obviously possible. Just because I agreed with you on one obvious unrelated thing doesn't make you any less wrong about it not working,

Give me one logical reason backed by facts for not believing this will work. You HAVE to have at least one reason for thinking this wont work don't you? I mean I already explained to you exactly why this will work. Do you disagree with my explanation?

[brodie1709]

@ElecEng91 i never said that this wont work, i did say that at the most it might heat up the coffee 1 degree or less. now instead of arguing about it just try it, make a video of it and post it as a response, because at the moment neither of us are right, we are just both very opionated. so to just end the argument and prove who is right try it.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

You said: "a 1.5 volt battery does not have enough power to create a eletrical short through the liquid to heat it that there would be no chance in this working."

You clearly said this wouldn't work. "no chance in this working". Ok? And you have no reason for thinking it will only heat it up one degree. That's a completely arbitrary number.

I'm not opinionated, it's a scientific fact. I don't know how you can't understand this.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

I'm not going to waste my time and make a video to prove something extremely basic about electricity just because you are too stupid to understand something extremely simple.

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

Did you not even watch the whole video where she shows the temperature has gone up almost 20 degrees? If you don't believe that she actually got it to work why would you believe me? Who says I wouldn't just throw it in the microwave? Since YOU are the one who doesn't understand how this works, you should do this yourself because it's the only way you can be sure of it.

[brodie1709]

@ElecEng91 i know it dosent work so i dont have to try anything, how can we be sure she didnt just throw it in the microwave?

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

You don't KNOW that this doesn't work because:

1. You didn't do this experiment nor believe anyone's results who have done this.

2. You don't understand how electricity works.

You first said that no current will flow through the coffee, then you later said that it will only heat it up less than a degree (an entirely arbitrary number). Well which is it? Does the coffee create a connection or not? Are you even going to comment on the fact that you changed your mind about this? Why?

[ElecEng91]

@brodie1709

What realtionship between wattage and temperature over a period of time did you use to decide that it will only heat it up one degree? Surely you have a reason for saying it wont heat up more than one degree right? You didn't just arbitrarily pick that assuming you were right did you?

[ECWFilms]

Here are my questions

1. Does it heat up solids

2. Does it heat up other liquids or just coffee?

[StinkadoodlePie]

@ECWFilms I've only tried it on coffee, but it could easily work with, say, broth.

[gsxxxrk5]

how long does the battery life last?

[StinkadoodlePie]

@gsxxxrk5 Enough to heat several cups of coffee.

[coooly2]

personally i stick it in the microwove a couple seconds lol....

[robertghouston]

@coooly2 Not everyone has a microwave.

[yanchuga]

it's great! i should try it when its cold.thx.

[jm2trash]

Woah this is AWESOME! I tried it and it kept my coffee warm all day! Did you make this up!?

[StinkadoodlePie]

@jm2trash Yup we did, thanks! Glad to know it worked for you!

[crowbrat1]

holly crap that was cool yaaay! no more cold coffee!!! lol
