just because you can...

doesn't mean you SHOULD.

someone (looks like it is over in Japan) decided that they would see if they could generate enuff power to cook meat using 30 USB connections. well, duh....

usb ports have a low voltage of ~4v (nevermind the wattage) so 4v x 30 = ~120v.

that should be enuff to power a small george foreman grill. and that's just my electrical idiocy thinking here. (i make no pretense that i know much about electricity, watts, amps, volts, etc, but i can manage basic math.)

so rather than spend money on 6 5-port USB cards and associated cables (which aren't that cheap), i'd rather break down and buy a george foreman grill. a device i have decided i do not need, nor plan on purchasing any time soon.

you can view the stupidity here
