HI-Tech school bag

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 11 years ago

Ben I have had the idea of a school bag contains things like a portable hotspot, phone chargers or you could make a bag that has a workbench in like the portable workbench but with soldering gear in that can be used off of a battery. Hope you read this, Dan.

    I definitely want one of those. A 3g mi-fi hotspot would FINALLY get around the web blocker permanently and reliably, for all those sites blocked for no apparent reason.

    Something to consider is how many amp hours you want the battery to run everything to be. The more power you expect to draw the bigger battery you would need, and also if you were putting a hotspot in it maybe it would be better to use a bigger antenna to get better coverage

    You would like to see the porta bench episode and then think(in your perspective) how you could embed it in your bag.
