  • Mr.Hanky :D

  • Heyyy... This is cool... I'll definitely be trying this out... I have a Zune too!

  • I never said I fully charged it. The video shows that some current goes through since it does switch the Zune on. That's all I wanted to show. I don't plan to charge it this way and I'm sure it wouldn't last long but it did switch on in case you haven't noticed and as I said in a post below there are no additional cables or items used and it's visible by the way I filmed so nothing is hidden.

  • The video is crap. We don't see the zune charging. We don't see the battery indicator before or after and it's obvious the zune already has some charge or you wouldn't see the menu screen. For the skeptics out there, the principle is sound. You can make a battery out of an onion, or a potato for that matter. As far as fully charging the zune (or iPod) goes, forget it. Zune needs 5watts and 1.4amps for about 2 hours to charge fully. That's more ions than an onion can hold.

  • all u did was use 2 usb cables, plugged one into the zune and into a computer, the other one u plugged into the onion and left the other cable hanging there, giving the effect it was one cable.

  • Did you even watch the whole video? As you can clearly see in the second half, there's no computer nearby whartsoever that's why I made the same thing again in another location to prove it... watch carefully and you will see no computer nearby... just one cable... try it yourself...

  • I think how householdhacker did it is because he is REALLY good at editing and you see how he didnt move the ipod at all? He just filmed him charging his ipod then put the screen on the charging the onion one, thats how i think he did it.

  • electrolythe ? water and salt that's it ...put your ogion in water that is saturated with salt you'll see ! and fuck gatorate it's shit

  • I'll try that sometime! Thanks on the suggestion!

  • Err i'm starting to doubt myself because the salted water i used it in another experiment to pruduce hydrogene so it may not work ...anyway don't waste too much stuff

  • Well if I have time I will try it out, I like these kinds of things hehe!

  • does lemonade work or maybe lucazade? or even coke? please explane.

  • I'm not sure, I used as specified in the other video. I think it needs the ions found in energy drinks... Maybe lucozade will work. Not too sure about coke or lemonade... Watch the original video for more...

  • it neads electrolytes

  • ever heard of smart water?? it is just water with added electrolites just like in gaterade.

  • um i have a ? wats the song caalled n by who?? also not to be mean or anything is that a computerdesk chair when ur moving the cammera after u dry the onion cuz i think is a rolling chair that u use at desks

  • The song is 'save me' by 'shinedown'

    No. The first time I have someone holding the camera and the second time it's placed on a shelf.

    There's or at least I can't recall any chairs being there.

    The thing behind the onion in the second part is actually a sofa. I'm a little confused on what you're on about so if you want to explain better please do.

  • AY DUDE DO I HAVE PEAL OFF THE SKIN WUT EVA IT CALLED? 0.o

  • Ummm I peeled off the main skin.

  • Did you poke them all the way through?

  • I didn't have so many, but it was left to soak for ages, so it got through. Maybe around 6? Can't be sure...

  • I think I'll do it again, just to poke the holes, cause they're small which makes htem less visible compared to the large usb one, so you can see what it looks like.

  • How long did you keep it in?

    might make a video... though still trying to recover my usb from onion particle invasion. LOL

  • umm not sure, it just stayed in for ages and then I came back to it.

    Use a toothpick, that's what I did.

  • Dude I just tried this, and shit not what I expected, it works, lol was shocked, Just had to leave the onion to soak for longer... wouldnt work first time

  • Awesome!

  • Nice

  • does this really work.....

  • How come the light never came on the second time?

  • uhh it's there can't you see, at least I can.

  • It's there just bad lighting in the room makes it less obvious, just look closer, the second vid is meerly just to show that there is no computer there. Just stare at the screen and hopefully you'll notice.

  • does this charging method work with anything with a usb charging lead and quite low voltage?

  • I'm not sure... but it worked for me... will try with something else...

  • Do you need to clean off the onion from the cable.

  • No duuh... lol well it get's stuck inside the hole and you need it out otherwise it might not work, at first it acted weird in my computer but I had to dry it all out cause it was still a little wet I guess...

  • Glad to see this method is compatible with the Zune! Great video!

  • Thanks.... Just know a few people not beleiving so wanted to prove it...
