How to Power a TV using a AAA battery

Back


Description : We have put together a short instructional video which details how to power a TV (or any device) using a small but effective AAA battery.*This is a parody video for fun. Hope you enjoy!*You will need:1. Duct tape2. RCA cable3. AAA batteryCheck out our website! http://householdhacker.comDisc with this experiment and all other HouseHold Hacker videos. We cannot be held responsible for damage or mistakes made if attempting the experiments. These projects are for demonstration purposes only and should not be attempted at home.

I love all the comments on here. So far we've had the total components of a power supply to 'it can't work because of bla bla'. It's like everyone is trying to comment on why someone wouldn't slip on a banana.Come on folks, it's a **JOKE** a **COMEDY** a **JAPE**.Also for folks running this guy down, take a look at the views. When I posted this it's 2,655,064. He's got to be doing something right!11ɐ noʎ oʇ sǝɥsıʍ ʇsǝqCleeWarrior

what a wanker ;/

this always makes me crack up. i bet he was messin around with rca cables and saw they fit in the prong holes and was like, "i can make another video"

ass hole fuck you

I dont know what's more fucked you or the piece of shit you made

this guy is fucked in the head. this is bullshit. in us, most of home appliances run on 110 volt., 15 amp avarage, AA 1.5 volt battery which dosnt even got 1/4 amp in it cant even turn the tv on plus., battery power is dc. appliance needs ac power .remember there is power supply which it pulls, 110 volt and around 15 amp to kick in and turn the tv on then it drops to 3-4 amp,

Funny video!

at least 12 v dc for some parts of the tv.
funtimeswithflames
he switched the chord and 1.5 volts cant power something that needs 120 v

@darthvesgo good job, i bet you feel smart now.

he came off well! XĐ

FAKETVs use AC, and Batteries are DC...

wat if ur tv plug is the 1s with three things and no holes in them???

worked for me, but lasted 3 of 4 seconds max, the tv is the key as to whether it will work. The battery activates stored power in the main capacitor, that is what allows the tv to start and run until the capacitor discharges, small tvs may go 10 seconds, but it works.

Not that I don't believe you but have you tried?
monstermiataman
oh look another fake from this guy AAA batteries couldnt even power a tv for a millisecond a tv needs 110v to even turn on AAA batts are 1.5
DYLAN102001
I have to agree with you. You should seethe one on hover shoes.

why has this wanker still not been banned from utube ?

this will never work. a CRT telly needs at least 1 voltage on about 180v and a high V of about one kv pr inch of tv. and the transformers in a tv needs ac to create voltages.furthermore at wattage a AAA battery can sustain is no way near what a tv needs. and if it indeed could deliver enough watts a batt that size would last about 1-4 second depending on the quality of the batt.. this is NOT something you would want to wast you time with, it wil never work.BTW i am educated in tv repairs

all electronics are dc powered...solid state components cannot function on ac power...unless your trying to turn ac into dc via diodes. electronics work on solid dc..or duty cycles such as c.p.u.s in computers. duty cycles are pulsating dc power. the main things that work on ac power are audio amplifiers (transistors or tubes) but they need a dc voltage to amplify with because the audio signal is ac current, but its all above 0 volts. lights and motors are the only (electronics) that work on ac

well it better be well regulated voltage.and take the voltages relative to ground with a multimeter. you then have to trace each transformer wire to the bridge rectifier. after the rectifier, you will have to find the dc voltage by the smoothing power capacitor. then bypass the bridge rectifier. the voltages are probably going to be weird...and life would be a lot easier if you had the schematics for the television. and dont do this with your favorite t.v. good chance something will fry

Thanks for replying... Now I assume this is concrete information that you're sharing not just some 'it-must-be' thing. I will support your theory that the transformer outputs diverse voltages because several sets of wires do coming out of them... but if one were able to supply those DC voltages through other sources of DC current bypassing the transformer would it work? The reason I'm so adamant that it works is because I have a project that somewhat depends on this being possible. Thanks again!

and for all the people who know that the television will work on just 12 - 18 volts dc....not possible. the transformer puts out at least 2 different voltages. probably 5 and 12. 5 volts for the solid state components that are in every television today. so unless you can figure out the resistance needed to drop the 12 volts down to 5 for the other circuits...and regulate it very heavily...your television project is just going to boom...

theres no way this could work. if it has a high frequency transformer...a step down transformer steps 120 volts to multiple voltages some tvs have 5 or 6 - 10, 12 or 15. you would need more then a 12 volt power supply. and it is impossible to use a transformer on dc current.... and these newer power transformers work on duty cycles....
