USB Chainsaw

The telemarketer has the USB chainsaw, not you. He is likely to need some activity to vent his anger, which combined with a USB chainsaw could be rather dangerous. Perhaps not to his prey, but dangerous nonetheless.

Depends wheter you are a colleague or prey, but that has nothing to do with the point.

Notice on the closeup, the total blade length was longer than the blade on the mockup.

Nope. All the images are CGI. That almost invariably means it's either vapourware, or fake.

Heck, look at the iPhone. Prior to actual physical release, the ONLY images available were CGI. Even now, several manufacturers had released, or already released phones that either compete with, or surpass the iPhone capabilities.

Just goes to prove, if it's shown in CGI, it's fake.

So there.

Huh? A USB port that meets spec can provide 0.5A at 5V (2.5W).

$ units

2411 units, 71 prefixes, 33 nonlinear units

You have: 2.5 watts You want: hp * 0.0033525552 / 298.27995

A USB port cat provide 0.0034 HP

1/2HP is 373W. At 5V, that's almost 75A. Short duty cycle indeed.

You don't have one of those 75A usb ports?

No. They catch fire way too often. I upgraded to the 1000A version, but the cables are still on backorder.

It's real hard soldering the 000 wire into those little connectors. When I use my computer's front panel ports, the computer keeps tipping over.

It would be handy for spot-welding modules together.

Has anyone been able to get a libusb based driver working for it?

Get a clue! Instead of using a bigger cable to carry more electrons at a time, you should try overclocking your motherboard so that you can push them _faster_

The concrete fasteners to the floor were overkill?

It's not quite that bad.

0.0034/0.5 = 0.0068

0.0068 * 24 * 60 = 9.79 minutes per day (at full HP!).

One of the 36V nanophosphate packs (A123 cells) should do it.

Rare-earth crystals supporting your cable will make it conduct better. Works for hi-fi...

some devices (eg PCs running linux) can (optionally) behave like usb devices or like hosts and to connect them (as a device) to another host you'd need an AM-AM cable,

I've never tried it, just seen the option "usb widget support" in ther kernel
