um. . .

2 weeks.

[i remember once i pulled the power cord out of my VCR, wove the cables together, then plugged it in to the outlet. blew out the fuses for half of the house. i was in middle school at the time]

Ummm... what exactly are the batteries powering??

is that a home made pottery wheel i see. :?:

...flashlights, of course.

Wow...you guys really went off topic on this one (I only veered off road a bit). Warning...do not stick wires into electrical sockets that are not meant to be done so.

Now...Haro... how long did it last or is it still going?

my question is, what are you playing?

You really should use lemons. We made a lemon clock last a month in my electronics class.

still going. about 36 hours now

I'm playing a custom burned CD

Want a lesson in torture testing? I had a Radio Shack RC car a long tie ago, ran on 8 AAs. I wired in another 8 just to see what would happen. Thing went really, REALLY fast, then caught on fire....fun while it lasted, though...

still going?

oh yeah...

keep in mind the C battery was not even a new one, I just found it in my battery bin
