I think the handle's a little short

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He might be schocked by a batteries potential

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

While making such devices, one should be grounded to reality to avoid making such mistakes

We don't know. There is no banana for scale.

Banana plugs for scale

And warmer!

In short, this is a battery handle.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will unleash the battery's potential

[–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Perhaps, but I think we’ll see a high level of resistance.

[–] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

That might be a hot take.

I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for "focus on what you're doing" or something.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of this.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's a suicide cord. Works great for generators

[–] StThicket@reddthat.com 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.

It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

You can also get that from just the label. The CCA rating (cold cranking amps) is the max current that specific battery can supply in short bursts. 600 CCA is pretty typical, but I've seen up to 900 in the batteries I ship.

Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won't get stuck in it.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.

Hmm. Giving it away a bit here. He cringes well before it discharges.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Obviously, Mehdi is an electrical engineer. The "dumb guy making things explode" is a persona he puts up to teach people about the dangers and wonders of electricity.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

That's... immensely cool. I wish him luck in his dangerous endeavors.

It was the last thing they made

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

With that hand, anyway.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

Took me a min to realize...

[–] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am a "ask me anything" Tech, ask me anything!

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How long can you hold the handle once it's attached to a fully loaded battery?

Why does it smell like BBQ in here?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (6 children)

If it's plastic, then it's fine.

A bit of copper would spice things up

that's a killer gadget!

Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.
