Oh yeah! I didn’t think I’d find one of these on eBay, but here it is… A mains voltage electrode boiler for making coffee or tea by passing mains current directly through the water in your cup to heat it.
But isn’t that dangerous? Well HELL YEAH!
I’m not providing a link to the ebay listing for this item. It’s really not the sort of item you want to have lying around where someone of low technical skillz can find it, since it’s just a total death-trap in the wrong hands.
If you’re technically inclined and live on your own then maybe you could consider one as a novelty. If that’s the case then you’ll find them on ebay or other sites that sell the Chinese stuff by searching for keywords like travel, water, heater, immersion and look for the ones that are clearly not spiral heating elements.
It works (really well), but the „power“ it dissipates into the liquid will depend on the conductivity of the liquid. The purer the water is the less it will conduct, and the more minerals there are the more it will conduct.

This is just a small selection of LED lamps. Some of which I made myself and some I bought.
The Calex lamps were bought from John Lewis in the UK.
The little 60 LED lamp I chopped the capacitor out of was from ebay.
The lurid disco lamp was also from ebay.
The others were all hacked together from old compact fluorescent lamp bases with hard wired capacitive current limiters and strings of LEDs wired in series. The circuitry in the bases was potted in resin. The LEDs are in small Molex type sockets with the polarity marked so they can be changed if desired. Many of the LEDs I used were side emitting LEDs salvaged from dodgy strings of Chinese christmas lights (we call them fairy lights in the UK).
The string of lights was an old tungsten string of 40 lights that I removed the lamps from and replaced the original glass lamps with LEDs by pushing the leads through the existing removable bases, bending them back and cropping them to size. The LEDs were all re-installed in the string with the same polarity from one end to the other, and a new ultra simple power supply was made using a standard bridge rectifier with a 10K resistor soldered to each lead. That effectively puts all the 10K resistors in series with the string of LEDs while also rectifying the supply to DC. The mains goes in via the resistors onto the rectifiers AC leads and the DC output goes to the LEDs again via two resistors. The whole rectifier/resistor arrangement was potted in a plastic cap with two part resin. The LEDs are run at about 3mA which compares favourably to the old tungsten lamps and will give good lifespan, Power consumption is under one watt. Power dissipation from the resistors is about half a watt divided between all four meaning they are well within their quarter watt rating.
Note that the LED string is being run on a UK 240V supply. In America or other countries with a lower voltage supply you would use less LEDs and lower value resistors.

„K2SO“ aus „Rogue One: A Star Wars Story“ von Jakks Pacific.

Zusammen mit SmashD habe ich die Figur ein wenig angepasst, die Augen und der Torso wurden in mühevoller Arbeit mit Lichtern bestückt. Dazu haben wir das Ding komplett auseinandergeschraubt und ein paar LEDs eingebaut. Der Aufwand hat sich aber gelohnt, das Ergebnis ist wirklich cool. ^__^

Die Figur ist etwa 50 cm groß und für den Preis von etwa 20 bis 25 € relativ gut verarbeitet. Schade ist nur, das sie sich kaum artikulieren lässt, das ist bei diesen Figuren von Jakks Pacific aber leider der Standard.

Tolle Figur von „Rise Kujikawa“ in der „Arabian Armor“ Variante. Sie stammt aus dem Videospiel „Persona 4: Dancing all Night“ (2015 PSVita), ist etwa 21 cm hoch und aus relativ solidem PVC gefertigt. Die Qualität ist der Hammer, die Details sind wirklich klasse, hier gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Preislich liegt diese Figur je nach Händler derzeit bei etwa 190,- bis 220,- €.
