He is actually closer than he thinks.. If you ran a wire across the negative sides of the batteries in would put them in parallel which would bring the batteries to an equal charge. because a dead battery would measure about .9-1 volts and the new one would be 1.5 volts when you connect in parallel the voltage should meet in the middle around 1.2 volts if using the same type of battery. So really this joke can has a half truth in it.
OK,SO...You and that other guy are either on the same page...that is: making fun of people who trust youtube for educational purposes, and who are a bit ignorant; or you are the biggest idiot...of course if you change the dead battery with a new battery, the battery has charge!OMFG! WHAT AN AMAZING DISCOVERY you should get a NOBEL Prize! you RETARD! This is yet another proof of how youtube is downgrading society and education...and sadly me too since I took the time to respond to this dumb shit!
so what your saying is replace the dead battery im trying to charge with a new battery that is charged? meaning the whole tape thing is useless also i would like to mention that electircal tape is fully known at "electircal insulating tape" meaning it cant conduct electricity secondly to charge a battery the voltage flowing in must be greater than the total battery voltage so an equal current wouldnt work.
Thank you so much! I ran down to wal-mart and picked up a pack of new batteries and then did what Mark said and it was AMAZING!! 24 hours later those batteries where fully charged!!
okay heres the deal these videos are meant to look authentic when in reality there obviously crap but there more of a joke than anything else example if you watch the new york one with the "firearm fridays" at the empire state building lol and obviously if electrical tape was conductive it would completely defeat the purpose of its existence...
I don't understand what's so jerk-like in my manner. I do think it's cool that I found a workaround for those who couldn't get the experiment to work the first time around. If anything, I'm making the experiment even better than before because. I will have to admit thought, I am standing on the shoulders of giants.
I haven't seen that video, but maybe he's the kind of guy that likes to have fun every once in a while. Some of his videos look very useful, especially the WiFi salad bowl/radar dish tip.
you have to be kidding would you accutally ever carry around a salad bowl covered with aluminum foil? the only purpose it could ever serve would be to make you look like an idiot.
I wouldn't carry it around, I'd use it at home to enhance my WiFi signal like the video suggests. I'd also do it alone so that if I don't do it correctly (i.e., I don't get a strong signal using the dish mechanism) then I wouldn't look stupid. I agree with you -- if you're out and about, it would look pretty dumb to carry a salad bowl/radar dish around, especially for me since I ride a bike.
Did you try the orange juice catalyst? If you put too much OJ on the ends, it will not work at all. I'm assuming it's all Floridian juice, but nowadays oranges can be from anywhere thanks to NAFTA. Brazil supposedly makes more oranges than the USA but I don't have those figures handy. I will use a search engine later tonight to find out more agricultural facts and repost them here.
your right dude geurge bush senior is an idiot. i'll have to try adding less orange juice. and does it have to be juice from florida? do you have any idea what this catylst does? cuz i tryed to find it on wikipedia but it said it wasn't able to be found. PLEASE HELP!
I don't know, but since Brazil and Florida oranges both have vitamins, I'm thinking either or will be okay. Also, get orange oranges since the larger yellower oranges aren't actually oranges at all, but grapefruits. It said so on the sign but I was in a hurry and just grabbed a couple w/o reading. Stupid me but now I know.
Limes and lemons are good for Triple A size batteries, but I would use an orange for A or AA. Use kumquats for hearing aid batteries and the like and, you guessed it, grapefruits for car batteries but honestly we're talking a lot of electrical tape for those so it might be best just to buy new when it comes to your car.
Beware of marckericksonfan... he is going around saying the videos are fake because he wants attention. If they were fake, why would he be such a big fan?
beware of toddunt a self proclaimed genius he is acctually half retarted and enjoys wearing womans clothing. also i am not an attention seeker i just am trying to bring the facts to everones attenion that mark erickson is a fake and my account is just a sarcastic opinion of his actual stupidity.
If markericksonfan thought Mark Erickson was fake, why is he a fan? I would not be a fan of someone fake nor should he. If he thought Mark Erickson was fake, his handle would be markericksonsfake or something like that. Beware of attention seekers who lie to get attention. Look at Mark David Chapman, the killer of John Lennon, he was a liar before he was a killer. How was he a liar you say? He posed as a fan before he killed Lennon. I daresay I speak the truth.
Couldn't agree with you more about the half-retard remark. Well, actually, I think the man must be fully autistic or something, because he's really not very bright. OR, he could be trying to do an internet sarcasm shtick, but he doesn't have any "tells" to let the audience in on the fact that it's a joke. Which makes him either a genuine half-wit or a troll, but either way this shit needs to be shoveled.
I'm not sure what you mean, but I would certainly NOT charge old batteries with more old ones, that would be ridiculous. Watch the video again please.
yo man are u fkin dick brained, he said using new batteries 2 charge old one's. you are so fkin stupid. n i tot dis was a video 2 diss da other 1 but apparently not, js another guy who is more fked in da head dan da other 1
If you get frustrated, then you should watch the first video again. I tried it several times before I got it to work correctly. I also admire how the two longest words you used in your post you spelled correctly.
i give u 2 words, dick headed.... simply fked in da head. i was trying 2 correct ure reply, n u cant even understand. wateva man, u culd go for sum english classes for sumthin

wow... u realli hav ure way wit absolutely no understanding of english. alrite im gonna get a life n stop talkin 2 sum1 who doesnt understand english. byebye
no dude, if you wrap them in tin foil and then keep it in your pocket. the heat from your body transfers into the tinfoil and converts heat energy into chemical electrical energy. you could speed up the process if you did it with a fully charged 9V. Just make sure you have both the poles touching the tinfoil. if you really wanted to you could hold it directly to your skin to speed up the process
I'm a chemistry teacher so trust me on this. Urine is full of electrolytes. You could enhance the effect by going without water for a few days and eating a lot of Salt 'n Vinegar potato chips, pickles and asparagus to increase the concentration of your urine. This plus the tin foil (don't use aluminum foil--it doesn't conduct as well) works wonders. I haven't had to buy a new battery in years. Side tip: Use Neosporin when the urine burns on your skin get bad.
think about it...if you replace the dead one with a charged one, then you have two fully charged batteries...which defeats the purpose of recharging the batteries
hi, it probably didn't work with the first battery because it had a dry cell. When the alkaline solution inside is dry/absorbed by the surrounding carbon the battery has had it unless you can get an electrolyte back into the inner "bi-metal compound" core. Some people do this by boiling the battery which extends its life somewhat.
when my batteries go flat i chuck em out and dont give a shit where they end up. As long as i have batteries that are charged and work i wont ever be trying that.
serious like a bursting appendix! hmmm i have to replace my car battery every year...maybe the cells are killing my batteries or maybe something is wrong with my Reliant K car, it really is a fine automobile.
That's a brilliant idea, but are you serious? Because I have to replace my car battery every four years or so. Do you mean three car batteries since 1997 or three regular batteries?
It would work as long as the current does not fry the battery and it didn't leak. Most alkaline batteries have a very weak seal which is why they cannot be recharged. Using a car battery for a charger would be like using a firecracker for a birthday candle ;)
Now, let's see here...You buy new batteries...to re-charge your old ones? Am I getting this correctly? So, when you re-charge your old batteries, what becomes of your purchased battery?
If you think about it, you have another dead battery that you JUST bought, so, buying the new battery and recharging the old one, defeats the purpose of buying a new battery.
The answer is very simple: I charge the drained batteries with new ones. I buy a few more than I need so I always have some batteries on hand that I can use for charging.
I wanted to recharge batteries that I already had so thankfully I found some already at home in the pack. That would defeat the purpose if I went out and bought some. Duh.
i thought the purpose was just to get something to work if you didnt have the right size batteries. anyways.... just buy recharable batteries from now on. it saves resources
listen to yourself. think before you type. "so many times"? isnt that the point? you can use them more than once. and they can be recharged many many many times and in those many many many times, you've saved alot of money and you havent thrown away anything (assuming your still using the rechargables)
Yeah, but I can re-charge the regular batteries using the techniques in the video so I don't have to buy the re-chargables. And it's not like it's one person buying the re-chargable batteries - there are lots of people buying them when they could buy regular batteries instead.
the concept im trying to get across is that your not actually recharging anything your just using the given amount of energy and distributing it and then you need to buy new batteries and throw out the ones you just depleted
I don't have to throw out my old regular batteries if I re-charge them. All I have to do is buy new batteries and use those to recharge the old ones. Therefore, I don't need to waste money on re-chargeable batteries.
are you serious???? .... "all i have to do is buy new batteries" if you're gonna buy new batteries then just use the ones you're buying instead of keeping the others. "I don't need to waste money on re-chargeable batteries"... you're actually saving money since you only buy one instead of tons to recharge another.
The idea is to have new batteries on hand to recharge the bad ones. Unfortunately, the only way I've found you can do it is to have other new batteries on hand to recharge the others. I wouldn't waste the extra money on re-chargeables because they cost a lot more than regular batteries, which are perfectly fine.
but you save money in the long run because they don't even cost twice as much as regular batteries and you can use them a lot longer than regular batteries. The batteries you have now will run out sooner or later and then you will be forced to go buy more. which will you get?
Again, I will just recharge my old batteries using new ones and that way I don't have to buy re-chargables that cost more. Obviously, I save money by recharging them. You can save more energy by turning off the item you're using. For instance, I have a flashlight and I only use it when it's really dark. I never ever use it when either a) I can turn lights on or b) I'm outside at night.
i know how to save it i'm not stupid. Although you are being completely ignorant of the fact that the batteries you have now will not last forever and therefore you will be forced to get new ones. I highly doubt you will ALWAYS have new batteries lying around.
What I always do is wait until batteries are on sale, or I get them at a wholesale club. I never buy name brand batteries because the generics have the same juice inside. The juice is mined from the same places and is perfectly fine. I don't like to use re-chargables because they don't get thrown away as often as regular ones and thus they don't get biodegraded.
What I'm saying is that once the batteries are in the city dump, they go back to being part of the earth. Re-chargables don't have that opportunity because they are used for a very very long period of time. So they are bad for the environment compared to disposables.
"they are used for a very very long period of time" and that is the whole point of this entire conversation. To find out which lasts longer and is more efficient economically. "So they are bad for the environment compared to disposables"...... look around you.. buddy...... this whole planet is fucked to hell....pardon my french... tiny batteries aren't gonna make any difference. What i'm trying to say here is... GET THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES!!!
Right now, I have so many disposable batteries that I can use them for recharging for quite some time. If I drain them all and decide to throw them away, that would be bad for the environment. It makes more sense to recharge the disposables than to throw them away and ruin the environment.
Miguel, you should really just try this technique. It works wonders, it will change your life. I have even rigged up a cell phone charger so that I can charge my phone from batteries that I have around the house.
yes because we all have batteries lying around the house, and the measly bit of electricity that is taken to charge your phone just totally needs to be used with batteries and your charger must be messed with as a requirement for this battery operated charger...instead of being plugged into the outlet.
Okay, shit man, I can't keep this up. The whole thing is a fucking joke, are you retarded or something? Pull your head out, this whole thing is meant to trick retards like you into getting upset.
he say if you chane the dead battery with a fully charged battery it will be charged!! but it dosent need to be charged in the 1st place!! lol funny dude

Now, let's see here...You buy new batteries...to re-charge your old ones? Am I getting this correctly? So, when you re-charge your old batteries, what becomes of your purchased battery?
If you think about it, you have another dead battery that you JUST bought, so, buying the new battery and recharging the old one, defeats the purpose of buying a new battery.
Sir, you fail.

The answer is very simple: I charge the drained batteries with new ones. I buy a few more than I need so I always have some batteries on hand that I can use for charging.

why don't you just save batteries and stick them on your charger?

since it takes so long to equalize the charge in the batteries, go ahead and just go to the store and buy new ones!

I wanted to recharge batteries that I already had so thankfully I found some already at home in the pack. That would defeat the purpose if I went out and bought some. Duh.

i thought the purpose was just to get something to work if you didnt have the right size batteries. anyways.... just buy recharable batteries from now on. it saves resources
dirtbiker8120077 4 years ago
It doesn't save resources because once you re-charge them so many times you have to get new ones.
toddunt 4 years ago
listen to yourself. think before you type. "so many times"? isnt that the point? you can use them more than once. and they can be recharged many many many times and in those many many many times, you've saved alot of money and you havent thrown away anything (assuming your still using the rechargables)
dirtbiker8120077 4 years ago
Yeah, but I can re-charge the regular batteries using the techniques in the video so I don't have to buy the re-chargables. And it's not like it's one person buying the re-chargable batteries - there are lots of people buying them when they could buy regular batteries instead.

the concept im trying to get across is that your not actually recharging anything your just using the given amount of energy and distributing it and then you need to buy new batteries and throw out the ones you just depleted
dirtbiker8120077 4 years ago
I don't have to throw out my old regular batteries if I re-charge them. All I have to do is buy new batteries and use those to recharge the old ones. Therefore, I don't need to waste money on re-chargeable batteries.
toddunt 4 years ago
are you serious???? .... "all i have to do is buy new batteries" if you're gonna buy new batteries then just use the ones you're buying instead of keeping the others. "I don't need to waste money on re-chargeable batteries"... you're actually saving money since you only buy one instead of tons to recharge another.

The idea is to have new batteries on hand to recharge the bad ones. Unfortunately, the only way I've found you can do it is to have other new batteries on hand to recharge the others. I wouldn't waste the extra money on re-chargeables because they cost a lot more than regular batteries, which are perfectly fine.
toddunt 4 years ago
but you save money in the long run because they don't even cost twice as much as regular batteries and you can use them a lot longer than regular batteries. The batteries you have now will run out sooner or later and then you will be forced to go buy more. which will you get?
Miguel001 4 years ago
Again, I will just recharge my old batteries using new ones and that way I don't have to buy re-chargables that cost more. Obviously, I save money by recharging them. You can save more energy by turning off the item you're using. For instance, I have a flashlight and I only use it when it's really dark. I never ever use it when either a) I can turn lights on or b) I'm outside at night.

i know how to save it i'm not stupid. Although you are being completely ignorant of the fact that the batteries you have now will not last forever and therefore you will be forced to get new ones. I highly doubt you will ALWAYS have new batteries lying around.
Miguel001 4 years ago
What I always do is wait until batteries are on sale, or I get them at a wholesale club. I never buy name brand batteries because the generics have the same juice inside. The juice is mined from the same places and is perfectly fine. I don't like to use re-chargables because they don't get thrown away as often as regular ones and thus they don't get biodegraded.
toddunt 4 years ago
you don't like to use re-chargeable batteries because they don't get thrown away as often as regular ones??? .... ok suit yourself.
Miguel001 4 years ago
What I'm saying is that once the batteries are in the city dump, they go back to being part of the earth. Re-chargables don't have that opportunity because they are used for a very very long period of time. So they are bad for the environment compared to disposables.
toddunt 4 years ago
"they are used for a very very long period of time" and that is the whole point of this entire conversation. To find out which lasts longer and is more efficient economically. "So they are bad for the environment compared to disposables"...... look around you.. buddy...... this whole planet is fucked to hell....pardon my french... tiny batteries aren't gonna make any difference. What i'm trying to say here is... GET THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES!!!
Miguel001 4 years ago
Right now, I have so many disposable batteries that I can use them for recharging for quite some time. If I drain them all and decide to throw them away, that would be bad for the environment. It makes more sense to recharge the disposables than to throw them away and ruin the environment.

Miguel, you should really just try this technique. It works wonders, it will change your life. I have even rigged up a cell phone charger so that I can charge my phone from batteries that I have around the house.
bigbobmegadeth 4 years ago
yes because we all have batteries lying around the house, and the measly bit of electricity that is taken to charge your phone just totally needs to be used with batteries and your charger must be messed with as a requirement for this battery operated charger...instead of being plugged into the outlet.
Miguel001 4 years ago
Miguel001, why are you being mean? There is no need, I'm just saying this works really great and you should try it.
bigbobmegadeth 4 years ago
because it is as i stated above. a WASTE of time.

Okay, shit man, I can't keep this up. The whole thing is a fucking joke, are you retarded or something? Pull your head out, this whole thing is meant to trick retards like you into getting upset.
