Still not sure exactly what I will do with it.
What I really want is 5 grand in lithium batteries, electric motors, battery chargers, solar panels, LED arrays....... 
I'm going to have to triple-check all the fine print before I do anything! |
Wonder how many AA Lithium batteries you could get for 5K ? Isn't that how Tesla motors burried all those kwh around the car.
Just imagine the look of the checkout person when they look in your cart !

Good idea Jason! You got me thinking:
You could buy a bunch of electric lawn mowers, and leaf vacuums, and chain saws, etc. and donate them to all the local veterans and retired folks? These use a fraction of the energy of most ICE powered -- and no gasoline or oil from foreign countries will be used...

If you could get RC batteries at sears, order about 2500 of them to use as a new car battery. Make another instructibles on it and see what sort of responce you get.

Hee hee. All of the Google ads on this thread right now are for Sears!
I did just get a shipping notification from INSTRUCTABLES that my prize is on the way!
My wife said she thought it would be funny if it showed up as a giant check. I assured her that it would be a card and a t-shirt.

You should be clicking on random ones to support the site.
In the interest of full disclosure I run add block too.

That's my thought too. Plus, I actually think that advertising is a very interesting art/science when it's done right.
I have a star too. It just happens to be green. It means I WORK for my membership. |

You could say I work for mine, I moderate the wiki but they do not want to give me a nice green star.
