So I got bored a little bit ago and decided to do something fun.

Ingredients:
1 1gb Flash Drive
1 9 volt battery
1 needle nose pliers
3 packing peanuts
1 knife


Using the pliers I opened up the 9volt battery and pulled out the guts(6 small AAA batteries). I took the piece of cardboard from the back end and cut a slot for the USB plug to fit into. Then I pulled the terminals from the battery pack and put the terminals back in using a tad bit of super glue, which didn't hold.
Then I opened up the flashdrive case and took out the circuits. I split 2 packing peanuts partically in half to fit the flash drive inside. I cut the third peanut in half and crammed it into the battery case, to hold the terminals in.

Sorry for the blurry picture.

I then stuffed the drive with the peanuts into the case and closed up the ends.

Viola!

It turned out nice. I looked on Google and didn't see anyone else doing this, so I figured I'd see how it went.
I think I'll go back and replace the soft packing peanuts with hard styrofoam. When I put it into the computer it moves around too much. I'll also close it up cleaner and perhaps paint the scratches. I also want to add an LED into the terminals that lights up when its in use.

 

A true nerd.

 

for good reason.

 

too big

 

And why is that? People do it with all sorts of things. Rubber ducks, legos, barbies, even bowling balls. Why not this?

Its not that big really. I don't care much. I don't carry it around with me all the time.

 

what are you, a terrorist?

 

Because it's dumb?

 

Yup. I plan to use an army of 9 volt battery thumb drives to take over every country.
:hsdunno: So? I was bored, I had a dead 9 volt and wanted to do something with it.

 

cool stuff man! geeky? yes. but hell, why the hell not!

 

so... are you actually going to use it?
if not can I have it?
