How to Charge an iPod using electrolytes and an onion

In this episode we show you how to charge your iPod (or other mp3 player) for up to 20 minutes using electrolytes derived from Gatorade or Powerade which are then stored within the cells of an onion. You will need: 1. 1 White onion 2. 2 cups of Gatorade 3. Screwdriver 4. iPod and USB cableDisclaimer: As 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.

Apple’s September music event comes early; we’ll show you an iMac you can touch; sumo wrestlers get iPads; and we’ll get a first peek at Apple’s “Bri-TV.” cnettv.cnet.com
