A cordless drill/screwdriver can easily be used as a hand-crank charger for batteries... even alkalines! See for yourself! Recharging alkaline batteries is done at your own risk.

For NiMH batteries too, I forgot to mention. It's also great for emergencies, like the ice storm we're about to get here. I'll no doubt need this when our power goes out... =)

I bet this would work well if you hooked this to an old bike as well. While hand power is great leg power would charge the batteries faster and if setup right you could charge your batteries while exercising and watching TV or Gaming.

never thought of this, I knew there are out put voltages from Motors DC motors only.
but never thought to use it like this.
it is very good and helpful.
but I am not sure does a dead battery can really be charged back? some one would help telling me? I don't know.
Never thought to find you here, I watched ur latest video, that is amazing man! very impressive machine.
ha ha u know allot about Electricity and machines, how come you ask about a battery?? are u kidding man? by the way waiting for ur next videos.
Good luck
Love your vids... great stuff!

By FatPumPumLovah 1197912888 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeevery permanent magnet motor will work, some (or in fact most) motors have a rotor an stator consisting of wire coils, which must be energized to create the magnetic force and thus motion - if you try to use them the other way, they will not produce energy.
By UBIQ.TV 1200178926 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif you´re stupid enough to take that serious: please do not post "hey, this are no batteries", for this will show that you did not understand the objective of this spoof...
@babblin: i think this video was a very good comment on all the stupid "charge batteries"-vids before...
- It's not a spoof.
Seriously dude. You won't see any "hey this doesn't work" comments here, I assure you.

Good idea
By VANRON 1197209090 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI experimented with something like this when I was in high school, but couldn't come up with a voltage regulator circuit back then. Awesome job, I have an old Homier drill that is useless outside of this, and guess what it's destined for? !!! 5 well deserved stars and some big props !!!
By Hoopajoo 1197206145 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCan you charge the drills battery by cranking it?
By jeff3230 1197213843 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- About the highest voltage
I could get was 6 volts, and that's with some seriously fast cranking. I think it has to do with the circuitry in the drill itself, mainly the voltage regulation that powers the drill's motor. I wish it would work that way!
By babblin5 1197251522 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove6224509
That is so amazing, I will try it definitely. It saves money man!
By Mr.illusion 1197201622 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebut wouldn't it be dangerous for some batteries that can't be recharged?
- Don't try this
With dry cell batteries, like Heavy Duty, etc., but Alkalines work fine. I expected them to get hot, but that didn't even happen.
By babblin5 1197195940 Reply Spam [+7] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove6224509

By dead_dude429 1197237115 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- I wouldn't recommend that...
Although I did consider it. At full speed, the volt output might blow the charging circuit, but then again, that might make a good video =)

By cashnikhil001 1197205535 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI think this Take more time and more expensive than The money you spend for Universal Battery charger. Any the charger will charge the non-rechargable battery too. So if you want fun for inventing then do this. But if you are life-easy person then just pay about 6 dollar for Universal Charger.
By vnstyle 1197272448 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- I agree...
The video is more about showing what's possible and thinking outside the box, although this would sure come in handy when your power is out... ;)

Actually marketed rechargeable Alkalines back when alkalines first came on the market. It worked pretty well, but never caught on, mainly because you can only recharge them about 15-20 times. I actually still have a couple of those batteries!

By jpvideo 1197191874 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethis is the most stupid video I have ever seen !!
people you should take a heavy drill with yours while using some tool working by AA batteries. peefff
this guy is crazy !!
That this works for NiCd, NiMH, and alkaline batteries; are these the only types that work? Or will this work on any non dry-cell battery? Also, it sounded like the longest you charged a battery was for around 30 seconds; how long is too long to charge? Is there a point at which the battery will not receive any more charge?
By RickyTheFish 1197254227 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- I'd be hesitant to overcharge anything
Cause it's never a good idea, which is why regular battery chargers have a shut off when the battery is at full charge. I'd recommend pausing every 15 seconds and checking the warmth of the battery, which would be a possible sign of overcharging. NIMH and NiCads are a different story, as they generally DO get warm when charging, even with a wall charger.
By babblin5 1197264723 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove6224509
Regular Batteries WILL NOT hold a charge so dont waste your time on those. They will go from fully charged to dead in about 15 minutes. I have a battery charger so I know.
By cowsgonemadd3 1197243672 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- They definitely hold a charge.
My charging experiments show this process to be absolutely true and real and successful.

I am using a Nicad/ Nickel-Metal Hydride wall charger with no problems.
I rechecked my 2 AA Duracells in a tungsten bulb flashlight this morning after 10 days of sitting. The flashlight is still bright. This works great!9134175
First, Great video man. Your a natural Kipkay!
Second, Imagine if you had a second batterie drill, your could put drills on both ends of a drill bit and power the drill. So instead of a hand crank, you would have a drill powered batterie charger! It would take almost no time at all!
- not
