A few things

Submitted by Paul Michael on September 18, 2007 - 21:25.

First, 32 batteries could actually fit snuggly inside the 6v housing, They would need to be arranged in 2 layers of 4x4. Second, I asked a few physics wizards that I know and they said that it is very possible to create a 6v battery from 32 AAs. It's all how you wire them together.

And that made me stop in my tracks. I didn't see any wiring in the box. So I took apart my 6v and found 4 1.5v batteries, not 32 AAs. But, does that mean this is fake or true? I suspect it may actually be fake after all, as the place is called gagfilms (boy, how did I miss that one?) so egg is now all over my face. Until I hear a definitive BS called on this, I'm hopeful it may still work. And I do think battery companies have a lot to hide. But as this mythbusters often say, this one's busted.

Nice catch guest, I'm the first to admit when I'm wrong and have edited the article accordingly.
