power plug rebellion
some shuttle pipes, the drones use the same principle as the musette de cour.
another diy segment. i followed this guide to do it. laptop chargers (all chargers actually) are usually done in a particular way by the makers so they guarantee that only they sell their stuff. for example, my (now over 8 years old) laptop had an apple jack charger. this jack is not standard, so it means i had to get it from the maker (or some chinese knockoff like i did). so i changed it so it’d have a standard jack to charge it. works perfectly, and now lets me use any charger that matches the voltage and current rating. here are the results, pics by T.
right now i’m designing solar mods for the rest of my electronics. what i applied here works for every charger. for example, a regular cell phone charger can be modded into a usb plug so you can charge your cell using your laptop. another fun thing would be doing a solar charger on the laptop cover, but for that, i’ll need some more sketching and electronics recycling. a key thing is epoxy, so i could make a proper casing for the cells. by now my front bike light is solar, and i’m planning on adding some more panels to do the back light too. the plans are to have all my electronics be entirely solar powered.
