The magnetic cable management/mounting methods is a really GOOD idea. Like I hope you got a patent for it good. Maybe someone has already made it but if they haven't you have a good product.

@lightjack0540 Год назад

Pro tip: Most hot glues can be removed from most surfaces (wood, plastic, metal) using Isopropyl-alcohol. Just make sure you put it around the edges and wait a couple minutes. (If you can, it works even better if you can inject something between the hot-glue and the surface, e.g. by using a syringe)

@tel0004 Год назад

Also, if you want to mount a power strip with screws, use masking tape, or painters' tape. Tape it to the back of the power strip. Poke holes in the tape where the mounting holes are. Then peel the tape off, and tape it where you want to mount the strip. Drill through the holes, remove the tape. Its faster, and much easier.

How to line up screws for a power strip: run blue painters tape along the back, and use a pencil to fill in the holes where the screw go. Remove and apply to whever you are mounting, screw where your marks are. PERFECT mounting. add an extra screw on the side so it can't be bumped off

@CyFr Год назад

I think he was meaning how you tend to miss the screwheads when hanging them.

@sergiogsr Год назад

This is what I use. Just don't forget that the tape is a mirror image when you flip the adhesive side from the device to the wall. Also don't forget to consider the space needed for the cable and also the space needed for the device to slide into the screws.

@Carpetfilter Год назад

The 3M command strips that use the interlocking plastic pegs instead of normal hook and loop (marketed for mounting heavier artworks/framed photos to walls) work exceptionally well for mounting power bricks (even large ones) to furniture. The trick is to orient the strips so that the long dimension runs along the axis of gravity. I've done this for years and nothing has ever fallen off, yet it is a cheap locally available product and easy to remove later. The main flaw is that they are not re-usable once removed.

@@ollianddelphine Not really, imagine the battery in your phone as a great example of a LiPo battery that charges in a very enclosed and warm space. The main issue is a false sense of security. Battery enclosures are supposed to prevent a fire from spreading for specified amounts of time so that fire alarms can sound and allow for evacuation. Generally, for real battery enclosures, this will get you 90 minutes of time when exposed to ordinary open flame and can resist battery explosions/lithium fires to keep their effects inside the cabinet. I think the dumb part about it is there are cheaper and better solutions. Those two boxes ran him $50 USD, safer (but not preferred over real cabinets) lipo storage can be had way cheaper and will actually help give you time to deal with battery fires.

For your DIY battery case thing you have you should buy one of the fire ball extinguishers. I forget the name but it's literally a ball and when it's thrown into a fire it turns into a foamy liquid that removes the oxygen from fires and sits on top of chemicals to eliminate at least two contacts from the fire tetrahedron. It's super awesome I have one sitting next to battery farm and it saved my house when a car battery I was charging literally blew up in my garage.

Sure that magnetic power bar mount is cool, but make sure it is strong enough for non american power outlets, you pretty much have the weakest and worst outlets in the world, so test it for outlets that actually hold the plug securely

@NavidIsANoob Год назад

Agreed. I usually have to use some serious force to pull out a European plug. Have hurt my hand plenty of times because of it. I don't really see a magnet like that holding out in Europe.

Bigger magnet might be strong enough erases data on hard drives... Don't tell me that's another reason not to use hard drives

Yeah first thing I though was those plugs looked incredibly easy to remove, UK plugs at least need a serious amount more force than that to remove them.

I really like that the magnets are strong enough to hold the bar while plugging/unplugging. Neither screws or 3M tape are great solutions. 3M tape works but either fails after a few months, doesn't stick at all, fails when plugging/unplugging, or is super strong but is excruciating to take off. Screws are fine unless you accidently shift the power strip, and then it just falls. So this is a cool solution. I'd just be interested to see how difficult the plate that they attach to is to come off if I wanted to move the power strip.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. The Type F plugs can be inside the receptacle _very_ securely, lol. You can definitely rip a receptacle out of the wall if it wasn't properly screwed in. You're often better off using both hands and press against the receptacle with the other hand to counteract your pulling... just to be safe.

@kreigrastalovich2577 Год назад

You're missing something. I've build charging stations for all my stuff - but what you're missing is I've used timer mains sockets so they're not on all the time and just charge twice a day for 30 mins or so. Keeps everything charged up and not constantly on. And for those things you may want instant charging on, just used a battery bank that charges when the time comes along but always has power if you need it right away.

There are also magnetic cables on the market with USB-C, Micro USB and lightning bits. You just put the small bit in the port you have and use one of these cables to magnetically couple them to any of the bits in any of the port kinds and charge.

@veryboringname. Год назад

They don't work well if you want to use the device while charging though. It also means all your chargers will need it, and it won't work reliably if you need data, e.g. Android Auto.

@veryboringname. Год назад

@@bedboiko When you use it in bed, doesn't the cable just pop off? I've tried several brands which work fine if I just leave it idle, but if there's any lateral movement it'll pop off as you'd expect it to. The video is about charging, but if you have a little plug semi-permanently attached for charging, it'll be difficult to use things like wired Android Auto.

@bedboiko Год назад

@@veryboringname. I prefer the cable to safely pop off if there is strong enough lateral pull, I did damage a phones port once years ago when I was in a hurry and ripped the phone while charging. Everyone has different needs and preferences, if magnetic cables don't meet your needs that's alright, you don't have to use one. I personally charge my devices either at the desk or the night stand. Somewhat similar to what was shown in the video. The devices I charge with magnetic cable are headphones, controllers, portable lights with motion sensor, AA battery charger, even a portable blender and of course a couple of tablets and my phone. My laptop needs it's 90W so that is used with the charger it came with. Since a lot of the devices are charged once a week or even once every two months it is a lot more convenient for me to have one type of charging cable that is also working with older devices. I know that I migh have even more chargeables on my nightstand than shown here but I definitely have less cables. That is why I mentioned the existence of the magnetic cables, someone might find this information of use.

I would probably take the extra step of installing fire suppression in my charging station if I had that many batteries in one place.

@Blacklands Год назад

What kind of "fire suppression" would you put there? You can't really quench a lithium battery fire, right? You can basically just contain it until there's nothing more left in the battery for the reaction to continue. Do you just mean putting a couple of metal buckets full of sand at the ready there? :D Or would you get like, one of these fancy industrial metal cabinets for chemicals that are aggressive or fire hazards, and put all of the charging equipment and the batteries into that?

Nice take on cable management, however if anyone tries something similar I'd really recommend *not* putting anything electrical under something that is going to be wet, even if there is a bit of drain pipe in place. Just don't risk it, mount the electronics to the side. Similarly, if possible, please don't use power strips on the floor - particularly in a garage. These will get damaged and very likely to be water too. Ideally use actual sockets on a wall, these are much safer than power strips and this is particularly true given the rather murky world of US cabling and power strips where you can very easily get caught out.

I honestly don't think the magnets would work for e.g. Type F plugs, sadly. Some are so hard to get out of the receptacle, you can rip the entire receptacle out of the wall if it wasn't screwed in properly, lol. Or for power strips, you can easily grab a single plug and pull on it and lift up an entire gigantic power strip that it's plugged in. I don't think anything short of _strong_ adhesive tape is sufficient there. :/
