If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…
It’s my birthday week, and as a birthday present Dawn at long last finished up an edit of another memorable “horde night” during our group play of 7 Days to Die. After the disastrous encounter that nearly leveled our first home, we sought out something sturdier for the next blood moon romp. The roof of a “Shamway” supermarket building made of solid concrete and stone beckoned, and we set up our defenses, now prepared for the worst the zombies could possibly throw at us…
…or so we thought. This time around Dawn spliced together three different feeds from her, me, and our friend Shawn, and although mine came out somewhat choppy I think she did a pretty good job of capturing the chaos. It’s all fun and games until 2am…
Oh and once again: NSFW unless your workplace is a sailor’s tavern or somesuch. You have been warned.

Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!
