How To Make: a Home Made Hand Heater.( EASY )

[ShadowParalyzer]

question: Could I make wires from unfolding a paperclip instead of buying wires?

[eunicejoyful1]

will it be really hot or just hot?????

[maxtaxchecks]

can you use a 9 volt??

[thatperson1980]

Everybody saying this is dangerous is retarded. yall know nothing.1 AA battery will not "explode" calm yalls ass's down.

[MrAirsoftkings101]

haha i have the same cup and my mom one time said soda cola

[MrSquishy1199]

omg dude your dumb......the battery is cancleing out and pretty much becoming a bomb

[charmanderstail]

for the first 3 minutes it does nothing, then you can use it for a warmer for a minute, then it will probably burn you

[jedi22300]

do you need a battery? can I use solar too?

[maxtaxchecks]

NO!! IT will fry the solar panel!! DO NOT do that

[therorybox]

In any of the cases described above, the result isn't good. SO a much better thing to do would be to look up the chemicals used in chemical hand warmers and use exothermic chemical reactions, or even better, buy hand warmers! The chemical ones are reusable anyway.

[therorybox]

... continued

Rechargeable batteries are a whole different kettle of fish. Ni-MH batteries (most common rechargeable) are likely to heat up to dangerous temperatures and burn you, so it would be stupid to do that.

Lithium batteries, whether Lithium-Ion or Lithium Polymer are likely to (in order of descending likelihood): a) Rupture and spray hot electrolyte (liquid) everywhere. b) Explode due to heat and pressure. c) Catch fire. d)Explode due to fire.

Continued...

[therorybox]

I would like to point out a few things.

1. Short circuiting a battery as demonstrated here will cause it to heat up.

This means that this 'hand warmer could be created with simply the last layer of foil.

2. With alkaline batteries (most common non-rechargeable), the battery will heat up but nothing overtly dangerous will happen. With lead-acid batteries, they will leak acid all over your hands (these are very old and are only used as car batteries).

...continued in next comment...

[nateollie]

Yet another simple but dangerous, AND inefficient way to make a heater...

This meathod will cause an electrical feedback into the battery, causing it to leak acid, or in some cases (moreso with rechargable batteries), Explode.

Don't be stupid, learn about how these things work, before doing something like this.

[randellqwertyuiop]

thats dangerouse as aluminum is conductive and you connect it to both sides of the battery yes it gets wark but it can burn too i have a few experience my self just try to keep it in a short time only or youl burn the battery

[LiquidChem]

disregard my previous comment - this one is much more important... anyone creating this device, good luck. your battery will probably start on fire.

[LiquidChem]

2 things -  1. where can i get me some cobber wire? im familiar with copper, but this new cobber stuff sounds great!

and 2. fuck the mpaa fuck the riaa fuck youtube and fuuuuuck google.

[dawsondrew69]

supossed acid all over your hands would warm them up! lmao

[equalsawesome412]

this tutorial sucks!

[capsulend]

no audio, and your big fat hand is always in the way of what is being done.

the video sucks.

[mizzoumail]

I'd pee on my hands before I did that....lol

[codcoda]

id rather get a $2 hand warmer from 7-11

[spazzesunite]

WOW u guys are so stupid you can just use a paper clip and take ecah end and put on the metal parts of the battery and it got so hot i couldnt even hold em

[ihateallschools]

ouch, dont touch the paper clip

[globe255]

Hmmn what about just putting your hands in warm water?

[aquatosdark]

It didn't work like you said it would. I had to get down to the very last layer of foil to feel any warmth at all.

[SuperHeber1]

im sick yeah idk

[fuzzynostic]

I make them from cobber and they last for ebber

hab hab hab hab!

[kingoflubu]

thanks dude

[97bosko]

"cobber" huh do you even know english?

[Increazon]

you suck!

[Increazon]

cobber

[DonD1997]

wow man it workd tx

[ms5301]

i would probably not recommend doing this cos the battery could explode!

[NeoKunFTW]

This is Extremely dangerous! by shorting out the battery for long periods of time you risk explosions, burns, and acid leakage from the battery. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!

[cbr954ny]

gay music

[astrosfan198]

Does it HAVE to be steel or cobber wire?

[sportguyontherun]

i just made it lets see whats happens

[sportguyontherun]

i just made it i dont know if it's getting hot...

[sportguyontherun]

lol i know 'I' don't look like a hand warmer lol i hope not

[mikekoz68]

even if this works, this was just a lousy video! ever hear of camera angles? pair of scissors? wire cutters? we watched u twist a wire back&forth for 20sec to cut it?! garbage! first & last viewing

[CreaIster]

A pair of gloves will be cheaper and less dangerous

[charleshood97]

@CreaIster its not really that dangerous, if hes doing wht i think hes doing...

[dylanfleck]

@CreaIster It's not really dangerous. 1.5V isn't a lot or electricity. Not enough to kill you at least, you may get a little shocked but nothing big.

[CreaIster]

@dylanfleck Sorry for correcting you but it is dangerous...shorting a battery can cause it to explode .

[lloydmedley]

How long would a battery like this last for? Going to make something more permanant that I can remove the battery and replace it eeasily! (I have loads of rechargable ones I use for my xbox controls)

[lloydmedley]

Nice, Ill try this later. Just wondering now how I can use this to make something small to fit in my gloves when Im out on my bike in the winter! :D

[kimchidawg]

Like licking a 9V !!! ; )

[mangekyovision]

what if the battery blows up??

[inkey2]

@mangekyovision : same thing I thought......possibility of it blowing up. I once put a 9 volt battery in my pocket full of change....all the sudden i felt this surge of heat....and I mean real hot in my pocket. The battery was roaring hot.

[iRePcA]

cool you short circuted a batterry

[worldofwarcraftmage1]

its hard to see cause ur hands r in the way

[mangekyovision]

what cuase's this to heat up??

[mylvl200wizardpwnsjk]

it heats up because after you continue the current through a battery without the current being used, the metal and the battery get heated up. same concept as a light bulb.

[eunicejoyful1]

will it be really hot or just hot???

[ArrenT7]

its very very hot when i go to a camping trip im taking one

[ArrenT7]

mine is heating up quite well

[ArrenT7]

very cool even tho i allready no it thanks ;-)

[chandraisgreat]

i liked the music and the macguyver appeal of it all. gave it a 5!

[dstymn85]

Like I said Bigjohnnywad, you have no patience.

[coatduck]

an easyer way to do it, is to just tape a wire from one end to the other

[Bigjohnnywad]

Like I said Im done with you-

[dstymn85]

With your level of patience, I hope you don't have children.

[Bigjohnnywad]

I hope they are not like you if I do LOL LOL

Let it go.....

[dstymn85]

Yes, because your kids graduating as EE's would be very bad.

[Bigjohnnywad]

Your like a pesky fly that will not go away....shoo....shoo...

[dstymn85]

Pretty sure I was here first and you came to ruin the party!

[Toppmad]

will this work with copper wire? and can't it shock you a little?

[fakiir]

i can has cobber wire?

[TheDesertGardener]

how long does this last

[wwwpaikdk]

@TheDesertGardener depends on quality of the battery, and how big the battery is.

[sidewipe200]

@wwwpaikdk is there anyway u can turn it off

[maxinpains]

@TheDesertGardener LOL Good point. i think that would be waay faster than chinese hand warmer... in fact they were much better than this.

[luciasko]

@TheDesertGardener you can user AC adapter(of telephone)

[dstymn85]

What the heck is cobber wire?

[Bigjohnnywad]

Copper wire you idiot....Can you not figure that out?

[dstymn85]

As and EE graduate, I know what COPPER wire is. As none of my classes specifically talked about different types of wire I don't call myself an expert with wires. Besides the obvious he/ she in the video making a typo in the spelling of copper, I was curious if this was a type of wire I had never heard of just as you likely don't know what ACSR wire is and also likely never heard of words such as GED or diploma. As you're quick to point someone out to be an idiot just because they are curious.

[Bigjohnnywad]

Personally I could care less what ACSR wire is never had a need for it since now and may never in the future..I am sure you know what GED is..since that is probably the highest level of education you have received. Take care clown..

[dstymn85]

See previous comment.

[Bigjohnnywad]

Back for some more beating huh..You High School boys do not learn that quick

[dstymn85]

Obviously you don't learn that quick. Lack of reading comprehension skills I see.

[Bigjohnnywad]

And your point is? Get on with your life ok...Im done with you..Period.

[dstymn85]

Point is that you are quick to criticize someones curiosity and call them an idiot. I would hate to see you around a young child, or even worse be a parent.

[lloydmedley]

tehe, he said period :p

[Ersyad05]

will it work if i put in water...coz i have no money to buy heater for my turtle tank...

[hotboyfriend55]

waste battery! all you need is just a nylon bag filled with hot water :D

[Tails305]

so is it the more batteries you use the warmer it gets and longer it lasts?

[tels2006]

I'm a polar explorer frozen and stranded on an iceberg, with only a large amount of small batteries and rolls of tinfoil.

You have saved my life!!!

Arghhh the titanics coming!!!!

[mytoypodcast]

holy shit it works thnx

[brahmamurti]

safri duo

[jl72cordoba]

what temp does it get at the end?

thankx

[wwwpaikdk]

at a time it gets pretty hot, but it doesnt get so hot that you cant hold it :)

[xXxGenasai]

xD thats a waist of a battery. a hand warmer should be more efficient :3 like if you connect foil around your hand, put it in a glove, add a resister, and connect a wire to the resistor and the foil. this way you can start it up fast, then turn down the current of energy so you dont waist electricity and burn yourself :3 thanks for making me think of this though. if yours lasts 1-2 hours then mine should last 5-6 :P

[wwwpaikdk]

hehe okay, its also a very old video, hmm you should make a video about it and set it up as a video response to mine, it would also secure you a bit more viewers ;) or if you dont know how to make the video ( witch you really should ;P) then you could send me the tapings and i would edit it for you :) GL ;)

[xXxGenasai]

ill make it eventually :3 my hands dont do too well in the cold so i need them D: but the only problem is im lazy xD so yeah... ill try :3

[hoodstarx1]

@xXxGenasai im kinda interested in your design please tell me how to make it more efficient

[xXxGenasai]

@hoodstarx1 i found that the battery heats up more than the aluminum foil because it shorting the circuit out. It's actually smart the way this person does it because it uses conduction, using both the heat of the battery and the heat of the power going across the metal. Gloves are also a lot more tricky than i thought they were, only working when your out moving your body.

[hoodstarx1]

@xXxGenasai i see your point but heres what i did i took about 3 or 4ft of cat5 wire and evenly wrapped it around a 1inch wide 6inch long piece of flat wood and connected a battery to it and the wire heated up is there any modifications you would recommend for my heater? like to improve it? like a bigger battery?

[xXxGenasai]

@hoodstarx1 ok ok. what you'll want to do is use something like AA bateries. you'll have 6 for each hand and youll connect two bateries positive to positive and negative to negative. do that to the other pairs and then connect the double positive wires to the negatives of the pairs but leaving two wire ends unatached. this snake of 3 pairs of batteries will give power for a long time, but only the power of 3 batteries, and wont over heat. I would use magnetic coil wire though, not cat5

[hoodstarx1]

@xXxGenasai what if i get a three aa battery holder would that work? and where would i find magnetic coil wire?

[xXxGenasai]

@hoodstarx1 you get magnetic coil wire at radio shack. and im not really sure about how many batteries you use, just the fact that if they're all in series, they will loose energy from short circuited heat.

[EKGsMOM]

This would be a great trick IF it worked, which it does NOT! Both steel wire and copper wire were used along with several brand new Energizer Max AA batteries...

[wwwpaikdk]

it does works, you must have been doing something wrong:

take battery, wrap steel wire around ( i think others works too i use to make it with steel ) wrap around foil press it together so its tight, and wait some minnutes.

remeber it has to be a new battery, if it doesnt work i might not be waiting long enough, try waiting about 3 - 5 minnutes, if it doesnt work ´now i dont know what wrong. :)

[Ne3bO]

U WRONG DUDE! It works!

[stevesrd]

kool,,oh and by the way you can recharge almost any battery,,trickle charge it, homemade style,,works,,done it a zillion times,,ok less but still lol

[parasar007]

hey kido doess this thng work's

[wwwpaikdk]

hey, and yes it works :)

[apro144]

make sure it dose not explode ok

[tanzhuzhen]

how long it can last?

[wwwpaikdk]

hello sorry it went so long responding.

it is between 1 or 2 hours. u cant always be sure, it depends on what kind of battery u use.

[protomanz891]

Depending on the conductor.

[erfans22]

is this safe?

[wwwpaikdk]

yes and no.

its not safe as a battery will never be safe becous it has a risk of exploding, just like every think else u use a batery for.

and yes its safe becous its the same way the battery gets used as, like exaple a wireless mouse.

[talatori]

you proble have no idea how smart you are

[6754tej]

That was good. May God Bless You.

[MylesandLucas]

this is really cool i make it alot when its cold

[kito2312]

really great video and great work and i d like to ask if i can use a copper wire insted of steal

[TalkyAlex]

det da ok

[antiemoforce2323]

pretty sweet
