Nice job, MacGyver. I wouldn't recharge the regular batteries now, but back in the 80s when they were pricey my sister used to heat them a little and they would last a couple more songs in her walkman.
lololololololol whoever tries this is really really stupid!!!!! Unless you would like to find out how acid burn feels like and maybe if you lucky it will ignite too.....what a Douche
Hi, Very interesting. I tried to hook up a voltage regulator to my drill to test the crank but meter did not move. What did you have your multlmeter set to? Thanks
also blowing on the positive terminal will recharge the battery on an xbox remote you will get aprox 20 mins more with one blow which is better than nothing test it for your self :)
Yes , very clever. Except the bit about non rechargable batteries. The point is, they are NON RECHARGEABLE !
I used to work in a phone repair place. Most common fault, people putting non rechargeable batteries in a phone with a charger in the base. The batteries would leak, filling the phone with corrosive goo. Don't do it !
99% of the comments on this video were made by idiots who missed the whole point of the demonstration, and were to stupid to even follow what he said! This world is doomed. Thanks!
Really the point of a hand crank is you don't need to plug it in . i was just with out power for a week after last snow storm. that being said all motors can be used for this application provided thy are big enough to produce the charge needed. this was just a real easy and clear way to show how it can be done if needed. and the charge regulator from the solar lamp is brilliant i doubt you could build one from radio shack for less then the 3 bucks one of those lights cost.
Oh, question: is the dude in the video saying something like "rechargeable batteries can be recharged, so do not throw them away"? Man the things some people post when creativity tortures them...
For $5 you can buy a damn battery charger! How about them apples? Oh, NEVER EVER try to charge nonchargeable batteries, unless you want them exploding in your face or setting fire to the house...
see all the scary movie people do this before they go to see what that "loud scary noise" was and thats why there flashlights all ways go out for no fucking reason
Dudes its just a physics project, just let it go. I think it's pretty neat. I do a lot of low-voltage experiments that involve double A batteries and they die really fast in most cases and keep buying them end up costing too much and using rechargeable batteries will not work as they only 1.2V, Now I can recharge them.
wow, i actualy did this my self, I also noticed how well sollar chargers work on regular batteries, my solar light works almoust 2 month on same battery, and rechargeble batterys that came with it died faster then battery in same charger!!!
@thekingdoody Please tell me where on earth you can buy a battery for $1, for that matter tell me where on earth i can find any 1 battery for $3 ? and if say Homier or generic then your comment makes all the sense in the world gomer lol.RRRRRetard.
I have a solar panel that charged a battery that was 1.2 volt nicid. How can i charge a 9 volt alkaline safely to power a set of LED lights. (also from the lamp) ????
This is ingenius. Never thought of the power drill. But it's shocking to see from the comments how far behind the world really is. F*ing walmart generation. I am sure all those Japanese earthquake victims just went to the stores and bought new things as well. And I wonder what ppl in the Third World are complaining about. After all they could go and buy stuff, too. And let's not forget to throw things out and replace them when a new fad starts. Consumerism puppets!
Thats Way To Complicated I'd Rather Ran My Ass To The Store Even Though Its Like All The Way Across Town Damn Man I Don't Have Most That Stuff Sure I'll "Have Fun" Not Doing That Haha
@LostInTheGame15 Um there is no such difference, that was the whole point of the video but some people I guess. You were never told or thought what the real difference between the two were...?

@OmGiTzKainen OMG He told you exactly where to get one, he never said it was a common household good, Why would you bother even worrying about it, what could possibly manifest out of your mank to possibly justify you ever being likely to even use this, you cant even spell regulator. And Firefox even spell checks FOR you. You are the type of person that is the reason for all the safety regulations are in the world today, so heavily.
