For times when you are away from an AC outlet and you can't think of a better way to drain your laptop battery. :-)
@mightyohm: A USB-powered soldering iron. Really? http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2173618_-1 It's a 6W iron that draws 800mA @ 5 V. So you could power it with a 1 A USB car power adapter. They claim it can reach almost 900 oF in 15 to 20 seconds. They say it can even be powered by a 9 V battery. (The question is, will it reach temperature before the battery is drained?) -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
