Powering a TV using one AAA battery: Fake or Real? on Product Reviews Net

Anybody tried this?

When man can get 240v out of a 1.5v AAA battery they would have solved the worlds energy problems

I am going to try this this weekend and barring I do not shock the s__t out of myself or blowout a tv and get grounded by my wife i will let you guys know LOL

Impossible. Simple maths and physics will tell you that a even a 15inch screen will use a 100watts minimum. Since most AAA batteries are 2000 milli ampshours if your lucky at 1.5 v the P= V x I equation will tell you this cannot work. Not enough current and not enough voltage. Redesign the TV howver and it may be posiible with a LED screen. Complete redeisgn will be needed though. Safety. Dont risk your marriage.

I know BT LOL I actually have an electrical engineering degree and my first job was as to reverse engineer products (imaging getting paid to break stuff errr see how they work LOL)

Still their are so many flawed engineering designs I have seen in the past that have defied logic, I have to try it LOL

well I tried it and got a flash on the "ON" LED on my television but that was it just a quick flash, but I am not sure if this was left over energy in one of the capacitors in the television or the battery.

Still this television seems to draw a lot of energy from the wall before it turns on completely so this may have been a bad choice. The rest of my sets are flat screens and cost too much to try this and if I try this on my kids television I instantly move his gaming tv into one of the flat screens....... dilemma as to how to kill bust this myth.....

"...the only thing you will "blow out" is the lightbulb behind the standbye button!!"

Wow, the techno-idiot woman was right!!

So far you are LOL But I will not rest until I permanently damage a television. I hate that fact that I gave away a 20 inch insignia television a couple of months ago. It would have been perfect for this test in that it is the one used in the video.

Ah.. I can see why you have to do it then..lol.. I also think it was your capacitor but you could always discharge it before the test and rule it out.

May be wrong but my money says it will be easier with a LED screen rather than an old telly with a cathode ray tube. ..Them things are just power hundgry and require high potential surely... Im not electrically biased however so If Im missing something tell me.

Theoretically speaking, what would happen if you lowered the resistance in the power circuit ( using supercondutors, if possible ); wouldn't that dramatically increase both the voltage and amperage, allowing the TV to work??

Or is the battery still the problem here??

Batter still the problem breadfruit.

This is free enegy talk. It ranks up there with perpetual motion. Won't happen.

Hear that Bro....

Like the Watcher said Breadfruit. Its the old problem cant get more than what you started with.
