That's why there is no useful videos on sites like "break"... that 2nd dude is too funny "it's a bunch of BS mate, fake"
too funny.. the only legit one is the 9v one.. it has AAAA batts in it (which are basically pointless)
(I couldn't even quote the link in my response.. heh)
That has to be one of the more stupid videos I've seen posted anywhere.. Anyone that actually tried it (meaning they're that stupid), should be fitted for a Darwin award..
Re: doing this w/o the regulator.. Unless you want an LED that looks...
Well, i built it this evening and fired up my blu-ray and it's purty... i used a 10uF cap on the input, a 47uF and a .1uF cap at the output, 4001 for reverse protection and a 33ohm resistor for the current limit tied to the adjust... that put me at about 38mA and 4.10V.. it's plenty bright...
