But isn't e-mail from a cell phone free, it's the same thing isn't it, and you aren't limited to 160 characters. If you use SMS then can't you just switch to free e-mail?
Wall warts pull power out of the wall even when they are not charging your shiny gadget. In fact this Idle current can be from 4 to 20 watts. They are using power to heat up so hot while doing nothing. This can add up substantially over a months time, increasing your utility bill. So it is best to put these small power supplies on a switched power strip just to save money on your Power Bill.
Not to mention the fact that you may have a power strip that has 6 outlets on it, but you can only plug 2 or 3 Wall Warts into it, so you end up with a spider of power strips.

I would like to fly USA to France in 2 hours like they keep promising me they're going to do. But I wouldn't pay $95,000 for it though . . .
After you make safe cigarettes, could you start working on Clean Coal ?

I have seen a good many starters restarted with a good swift thwacking . . .
Is it "Duct" or "Duck" Tape ?

Wind turbines are fairly easy to make

I think it would make a better microphone, than a wind generator.
You would need a bunch of them to light up your room. One of these windbelt machines will light up only two 20 milliamp LEDs.
if you wanted 4 watts, you would need 100 of them

With Wind sails like that, you will need some really good propulsion
Sure, it's wind power to spray the water but I assure you that The engines for propulsion will use fuel
I wonder if each ship would be able to cancel out its own carbon emissions from Burned Fuel, and of course multiply that by 1500 ships.
Looks like the drives will star coming built into the motherboard
I thought I could put my Credit Card into a Microwave oven and blowup the RFID chip ?
You can make most of a Mastercharger from a computer power supply

Isn't it a pretty good Phone ?
It looks like an Air Core Transformer.
What would happen if you laid your Credit Card on there and tried to charge it ?
