Let's make a mod with no batteries.

Somehow, someone can surely do this. Almost like a miniature windturbine.
We are pulling away at the tank, that's got to be enough wind aka suction to create enough power to power a device to heat a coil. I can't be dreaming here.
Thoughts?

Haha maybe you just gave some aspiring inventor an idea.

Although I doubt any human can take a long enough inhale to get the coils to a high enough temp

With maths and science, some sort of rotating friction can surely can up power

 

[Cespian]

Only 1 concern here - RAMP UP. Yeah sure there might be tech, but the Mod will need to be equipped with a capacitor or something similar to store the generated power before regulating it and pushing to the coils.... might as well just have a battery then lol

You can always wear a cap with a wind turbine or solar panel on.

OK, now we got the ball rolling. You starting to give it some thought. OK, let's say we still use a battery but drop its size to a watch battery for that initial burst or ramp through.

Anythings possible with technology I guess . If 15+ years ago someone told me that a computer would one day be able to fit in the palm of my hand I probably would have smacked them on the head.

Magnifying glass?

I am no engineer to comment further haha...

I unfortunately don't have the creativity to offer any helpful suggestion or insight however I must say, first thing that popped into my mind after reading the comment about the capacitor for the initial charge is someone sitting in a corner winding up there mod with a hand crank for a quick drag :| What would be the need for a device without a battery? Smaller device footprint? more convenient in the sense that you don't need to keep it charged? Kind of feels like it would present it's own kind of problems that wouldn't necessarily make it more convenient than existing mods :s

Well yes. Never charging the device.
The atlus is now out, so coiless vaping game has begun. I think this is possibly the next step in mods

I'm unfortunately still way to new to all this, seen mention of the Atlus but have not yet read up on how the device works or negates the need for coils. Another thing to consider might not be to remove the battery altogether but find a more convenient way to charge them? Something like making use of kinetic energy to charge the battery for you

Like how a car works? Use petrol and an alternator to recharge the batteries... imagine filling your mod at the petrol station ("Hi can I have 5mls unleaded please")

Haha well not entirely, in this case YOU would be the petrol station. It uses your body movement to charge the device, I'm not clever enough to explain the more technical aspects of how the process works however the AMPY device makes use of this concept to charge a power bank by making use of your normal day to day movements, which you can then use to charge your cellphone or other devices. Livecell is another similar project

Yeah well, you just went way over my head... lol

 

[Gazzacpt]

Generating electricity is not the problem. It can be done in a number of ways. The problem is power, you need amps to heat up a coil. Otherwise you need high voltage and high resistance to make it work. Generating the amps needed is the issue.

Lol, it would be called the Silver Turbine

Interesting idea @shaun patrick

Lol , you've already trademarked nicotine poisoning . Hows about giving some other young'n a chance to have their name on something

Lol @Khan83 , that was not me who "trademarked" it - it was the other guys who started using it.

Ok, you need to come up with a suitable name for this self powered mod device.

Perhaps "The Khan propeller"

The last Capetonian who added a windturbine to his mod is still airborne 3 years later, good news is it still has a full charge, bad news... he ran out of juice 2yrs 11 months ago.

Showing soon on a radar near you.

Lol @Silver . I wish.

Seeing as it was @shaun patrick who came up with the idea I suppose he gets dibs on naming it

OK the crank won't do. I can't see anyone winding up their mod.
But the second one? Hahahaha can you imagine how easy it wld be to spot vapers? Besides clouds... One arm would be as thick as a tree
