Couldn't remember. Yea, it's a volleyball.

Day 21: Wilson left today. He said he could only wait 20 days for the PHRs to arrive. I think it was because he is a soccer ball.

Please post a copy of your Western Union receipt (with some details blacked out) so that we know how this is progressing.

Your momma's so stupid she thought this was a real product.

...hopes Wes is joking...

You know that you can't get Western Union to reverse a payment, right?

bump. tracking number prease.

I've bought a total of three 50mW CR2-based green lasers from them over the last year. Each one took forever to arrive, and I had to prod them about two of them. The laser was pretty good IMO though.

Meh...I have my reasons for not using the 0.3V chip. Per the relative efficiency, this is probably 80% efficient regardless of the voltage you give it. I haven't the slightest idea on what the efficiency of the FlexDrive is, although I thought I saw someone saying it would work down to 2.4 V...

I was in a hotel in CA with some friends and had a 50mW 532nm on me. I was shining it around outside at night, and prop plane flew over at probably 3000 ft. My friends begged me to shine it at the plane, which I obviously declined. A couple minutes later it got pointed at a building about 1/4 a...

Thing looks like an e-meter :P For those of us who aren't used to using a seismic detec..er..geiger counter...what does that mean?

Tried it. Didn't work well for me. The cracked set looks so much better than the crackjobs I tried...and several marbles cracked in half on me.

Sure. The chip I'll use will handle up to 6.5 V. If you're looking for a driver now, I strongly suggest getting a FlexDrive. I'm trying to get this working (will likely order some components/a bunch of boards this weekend to make up some demo drivers), but there's only so much time you can...

Lol...I was able to leave a message about myself using a similar hack.  Nobody unrep me because it didn't affect all my many rep points.

That's a given, but the capacity drop is probably less than 10% with the NiMH under high loads. Look at these charts --> http://www.powerstream.com/AA-tests.htm These charts are rated on the total mAH a cell can put out at a given current drain. If someone wanted to run an 803T at 200 mA...

That's why the alkalines perform so poorly. You only get to use about 1/4 of the alkaline's stated capacity under these conditions. NiMH batteries, however, perform much better under higher loads.

...says the person who sells FlexDrives :P.  Here's why I want to make them: 1.  Collect underpants 2.  ??? 3.  Profit!!! No, seriously, here's my reasons: 1.  I want to make a few of these for myself. 2.  After the setup costs, the price per board justifies me buying far more boards that I...

Speaking of keeping customers, where's the tracking number?

Alkalines appear to have an internal resistance of 200 mOhms, which means they'd last until around 1.2 V, while NiMH appear to have an internal resistance of 100 mOhms or less, meaning they'd last until about 1.05 V. (source) Based on the charts on this website, you can expect around 20-30...

I'm not surprised. Anything below 2.4 V should not be expected to work - but then again, I don't know what the FlexDrive is rated at. Look at the voltage rating on the rechargeable. Rechargeables are considered "dead" once they reach the voltage stated on the battery. If you dip too far below...
