Is anyone working on a self sustaining battery?

Someone made a mod out of a hand crack flashlight, thats about as close to getting what your asking for...

I dont see anything practical as to what your asking... creating enough heat to atomize liquid without a chemical recation, electricity, or fire, might be a little difficult...

then again you can always stick juice in a spray bottle, but that might sting a bit

A battery with out electricity is like water without oxygen, it ceases to exist and just becomes hydrogen. Batteries store electricity. Without the electricity they wouldn't be very useful.

Self perpetuating machines go against the laws of Thermal Dynamics. People been trying for hundreds of years to build one with no success so far.

Good news is there are batteries out there that are considered safe and non combustible

I am personally working on a miniature micro Thermo Nuclear reactor for PV's . Only problem is Iran is the only country that will sell me nuclear material and Fedex and UPS have some stupid rule about not transporting radioactive material. So Now i have to work on my cold fusion reactor instead.

But you *might* be able to get fissiles from the Libyans, who I understand personally deliver them by VW bus... then, if you can get the DeLorean up to 88 mph, you can go to the future and just buy a Mr. Fusion. Wouldn't one of those things make one hell of a mod, eh?

nice hiram. nope no self sustaning what your asking the only way possible is to let electricty flow through the air and have your pv charge off that. unfortently i forget maybe tesla or edison tried and was shut down by big conglomarte. said it wasnt safe but truth is no way to market free energy its in the air so no way you can charge for it.. and its tesla

Bwaaahh Haaa Haaa ROFLMAO ....

You forgot about zero-point energy. Doh!

And Renro, you can make a solar powered e-cig with a (big) capacitor and (big) solar cell. You'd get 1 puff per day tho......

And T.C. Yeah, he used big electromagnetic fields and induction (as far as we know)... I actually discussed using EM to charge a capacitor from a tray-like device for a puff or two. We decided that the capacitor would weigh in a 4 pounds or so. lol.

Yup... zero-point energy all the way. And if you guys do figure it out, or the perpetual motion machine, I'll outbid zadane and give you $25.00.

Do I hear $30.00? going once... twice......

A while back, maybe here maybe on VF, someone posted about a solar-powered mod they made. interesting idea.

I have made one with solar cell. but its totally NOT worth it . I used 16 solar cells from a solar-cell garden lamp. wired them 2 and 2 to get about 6v. and a 4 big capacitor´s the thing was measuring 15" X 15" and the performance wasn't that good. :D

What about those batteries you can just shake up and down a few times and get some power that way?

Not going to be any more efficient then the hand crank ones. If i am remembering right the guy that made one had to crank for 15 minutes to get about 30 seconds of vape time. I think it is safe to say you will be shaken more then vapen. But on the bright side you will build up your forearms. They will get the size of Popeye's in no time. The chicks will dig it :)

Tesla was on to this a long time ago and he got shut down. The conglomerates will win ever time. Much easier to control flow and price with wires.
This happens over and over again. Did you know the first electric car was invented between 1832 and 1839. In the early 1900's the US had a great version. What happened to that? Gas companies that's what. did you know that a group of companies, GM being the ring leader, completely wiped out public transportation in the early 1900s? Tire, gas, automobile, etc companies got together and literally bought out public transportation companies across the US, just to elimanate them. Most notably in Los Angles. Where they bought up brand new buses and trains and let them rott. MAKING americans buy cars, and buy gas, tires, etc.
CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME That is what are society has been forced into. Do you think a huge gasoline company is gonna sit by and let people use more efficient ways for transportation?
DO you think tobacco companies are gonna sit by and loose all there customers to ecigs?

i do apologize for getting off the topic of this thread.

Yeah, I am so ...... that the huge car and gasoline companies have forced me to choose my home and employer for their own merits and not their proximity to each other.

I won't deny that some companies have done some shady things in the day, but if you really believe that there was a viable electric car 150+ years ago, you need to RUN to amazon.com and buy this book: Thermodynamics, by Enrico Fermi

LOL LOL LOL please do some research before posting.

History of Electric Vehicles

Electric car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the problem so many are talking about. DO YOUR RESEARCH before assuming you know something because someone told you. This is the biggest problem facing ecigs MISINFORMATION

"Before the pre-eminence of internal combustion engines, electric automobiles held many speed and distance records. Among the most notable of these records was the breaking of the 100 km/h (62 mph) speed barrier, by Camille Jenatzy on April 29, 1899 "

I mean REALLY?

A hundred years from now, cold fusion will power everything. Necessity breeds invention.

Of course, by then the brain will have been completely mapped and all those desires and cravings we have will be erased with some magical device or microbots in our water. The nicotine eradicators will have won the war and we will all be nice passive individuals with no desire to do anything not good for the Borg.

And then, there will be the hard core vapers out there making DIY hardware and juice and laughing about the "good old days" when the postman would bring you anything you needed.
