https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e1367fe6-957f-4f83-b241-0ac18fa41e87 I thought it might be a good idea to use AvE's bigger copper swing press to drive a nail through a slightly overcharged lithium cell out of a pink Poundland power bank. It's a slow starter - but it gets going when it's got excited enough. Note that it's normally quite hard to make lithium cells do this. The power they unleash is purely the stored energy and not much to do with the tiny quantity of lithium itself. The Poundland power bank this cell came from is well constructed and has independent cell protection to avoid overcharge or discharge. Lithium cell fires are such a tiny percentage of the massive number in use that they often make the news when it happens. Here's AvE's video where he makes the copper swing-press:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivrxXEUWHL8 If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators #sharts Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:29:30 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e1367fe6-957f-4f83-b241-0ac18fa41e87 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
