That is essentially a battery holder. Four rechargeable AA batteries
will give you close to 5V to charge your devices through the built-in
USB socket.

only two AA batteries... so it must boost the voltage up?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mraqng4303Y

Yes, the room near the USB port must be housing the DC-DC converter to
boost the voltage to 5V.

A normal lithium ion battery is 3.7V and requires a 5V USB voltage for
the charging circuit.

My idea of using 4 rechargeable batteries (4.8V) without using a DC-DC
converter is simple and efficient, except if you put 4 alkaline
batteries it becomes 6V (20% over voltage and no limit on output
current) which may damage some sensitive USB devices connected to it.

Don't disparage Stormy. He's never pushed his faith on anyone. He mentions it his sig and would be glad to share it with you if you ask. I've done work for a lot of churches, not because I shared the faith but because the people there are good folks.

I've had some VERY interesting discussions like that!

Hi Muggles,

Something I have found interesting is Einstein's take on
quantum physics. He did not believe it to be correct
because "God is not random". And indeed the theory
which is starting to replace quantum physics, called
String Theory, is not random.

Problem with quantum physics is that it is not unified,
meaning it does not incorporate gravity in its model.
String theory does.

We have a saying in our church. "Do not seek the truth
in science, for today's truths are always tomorrow's
falsehoods. But instead, seek the truth in Jesus Christ,
who is the way, the truth, and the light."

One of my most fascinating courses in college was the
history of science. It was all about tomorrow's
falsehoods. Caloric was a huge one.

My personal belief is that when the eight day comes
and all is revealed, that all our humanity's collective
knowledge and all our machines, we will have not scratched
one cell in God's finger.

I also think that ever since the first human eye laid
sight on the first star in the sky, that we were meant to
go there. I look forward to the light barrier being
broken. I will probably have to watch that happen from
heaven.

And we have Saint Moses to thank for science:

Genius 1, 1-5 KJV
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided
the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And that was the beginning of science. The universe was
a creation of God and what we observed around us was nature,
not the work of petty human like gods and magic.

Glory be to God!

String theory is really w-e-i-r-d.

I wonder how many more things Einstein could have discovered if he wasn't hampered by religion?

After all the calculations and proofs he went through, YOU think he was "hampered"? You're ****ed-up!

Einstein was driven by "How did he do it". So I have to say,
no. He probably would have just been mediocre.

"hampered by religion"? You lead an insular life.

Often times, those that say they don't believe in religion,
get caught up in religions by other names, such a secular humanism,
atheism, Liberalism, global warming (which is not science, but religoun).

Liberalism, which tells you what you can eat, what you can
wear, who you can speak with, what you can drive, yada, yada,
yada, is far more restrictive than Christianity. Hell,
Liberalism even tells you what you can think (political
correctness).

A lot of atheists are very religious people.

That's pushing it on people.

He is only telling you what he is and where to follow up
if you are interested. That is not pushing things on anyone.

Seems to me that any mention of a religoun other than your own
(atheist) offends you. And that is religious intolerance.

I'm the one who posted that he's never pushed his faith on anyone. There do seem to be several people who resent the fact that he even is a religious man. I've found that people of faith are more likely to offer help to those in need than those who profess to have no belief in God. o_O

I've plonked the idiot a long time ago and I have to read his crap
because you guys keep "feeding the troll".
I aften wonder if the Macaw is human or a robot of some sort. No human
could be THAT stupid and still manage to reach adulthood.

They are touching the face of God:

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say
unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Matthew 25:40

We are all so much better off having religious people around us.

Stormin is a complete gentleman about his religieuse beliefs.

More dogmatically narrow minded than the most devout Jew, Muslim, or
southern Baptist Christian, by far.
