Mentos JuiceBlast

[utak3r]

Started my new mod. Right now it's just a passthrough to some sort of the power supply (I'm running it from the 2A 5V machine). In the future it will have a one 14500 cell, built-in charger and a booster to 5V - hence the size of the box.

Ladies and gentlemen - here's the JuiceBlast!

Nice one Utak3r! The mentos gum case it great for 14500's should you want to work your way through the candy aisle

Yep, the 14500 casing is already prepared, now I'm working on the integrated charger, based on the MAX1811.

Nice, are you using the mentos gum case? I did one but over time I crushed the protection circuit on some batts by over tightening. Maybe yours will inspire me to fix it. I still like the case's fit in the hand.

Yeah it's the gum case. What I did is to break the batts case apart to get a single cell apartment - it fits into this box.
...but I need to change the switch, it's hard to press You can use it in tanks for launching rockets or something So when I'll work on the circuit, I'll add some tiny switch driver.
