| 2008/6/22-27 [Science/Electric] UID:50331 Activity:nil | 6/22 I got a bunch of AA batteries that are about 0.8 - 0.9V. They're
not strong enough to power the devices I need. What are some creative
ways to get the most out of your batteries besides recycling?
\_ Look up "Joule thief"
\_ Seconded
\_ Wow, that's cool. I have all the parts except the transistor.

| 2008/5/18-23 [Science/Battery] UID:49997 Activity:low | 5/18 I'm looking for a good rechargeable AA battery system. What do you guys
use? I'm thinking of getting a bunch of AA NiMH and a really good
charger that can do a full drain/recharge cycle to reduce memory
effect as well as battery tender since NiMH seems to lose 10% charge
per week, or AA Li-Ion with normal chargers. What do you guys think?

\_ submarines have been using 'hybrid' power systems since WWI, in that
they have batteries to run off of and diesel engines to recharge
those batteries. Granted this was done not to save fuel, but to
actually have motive power when underwater.

than the iPad2? I don't really understand the hype.
\_ 5MP camera? My 1-yr-old Android phone has a 8MP auto-focus camera
(plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)

to take more photos than I otherwise would in hopes of getting a
clear one. I took some photos of the Rio grande and they
were all awesome, but the next day I took photos of landscapes
and almost all of them were blurry. Could it be the camera or is

she's running around with this 1 megapixel camera from back in the
day. I looked at Canon and Nikon, but I am not as into this stuff as
some people on MOTD are. I take photos with my Blackberry. What's
a good choice in that price range? Definitely not more than $200.
