I can't believe it, but this really works!

I can't believe any of you dipshits would believe it could possibly work, let alone even try it.

Although it is true that just about any form of energy can be converted one way or another into the (approx)~115volts ~2amps that this tv requires, I promise you that a single AAA battery will not power this television. Even if using the most efficient speakers available to date, you would BARELY be able to hear the audio from this set as loud as is shown (let alone power up an old stytle Cathode Ray Tube).

i would like to know how long it worked i see your smart and not going to use this on an expensive tv and i have a similar tv so if you would say how long did it work

[hegedus000]

hahaha this cant work no !!!!!

I put 'kinds' in quotes for the people who didn't know better - I couldn't fit the proper explanation in 500 words - but I tried).

Yep, that's what I said, an inverter on a 1,5 volt bat would just work like a short circuit. However, Volts and Ampere are not diffrent kinds of energy, they are just diffrent aspects of any electrical energy. Voltage is the "diffrence" or "Pressure" of the electricity, Ampere is the amount of that energy. That's why battery capacity is in ampere-hours

[Tanqwork]

Many people are overlooking the fact that there are two 'kinds' of energy at work here: VOLTS and AMPS. Using the plug shown, the tv requires 115-volts AC at about 1-3 amps. The requirements for BOTH the volatage AND the amperage must be met for the tv to work. Convert the 1.5-volt DC AAA battery however you want, there simply is not enough amps in a single AAA battery to power the television - PERIOD. Yes, a 24 volt truck battery (LOTS of AMPS) would certainly have enough amps to run the tv.

Old tv's with CRT picture tubes did, and only older models that didn't have a built in discharging resistor. Most powersupplies have capacitators that also hold a small charge

[DusteDdekay]

If you use an inverter it's possible, and the battery sill more or less short circuit, it won't power a tv..

I've run a projector (that's around 300 watt) off a 24 volt truck battery, it ran for around 20 minutes..

I have a video comming out soon, its a video on how to power your entire house for a whole year using a watch battery (button cell), LOL!!!!!!.

No - a single battery (Double or Triple 'A') is only 1.5 volts, this unit requires 115...
