Are you planning a long walk in the cold or a trip out of town during the cold season? Here is a simple and effective life hack that will help you stay warm when there is no shelter from the cold. Experts spoke about it in detail on the 5-tv website. (18+).
You will need:
- A regular battery (preferably a large size, such as AA or AAA)
- Sheet of foil
How does this work:
- Prepare the battery and foil: Take a regular battery and a piece of foil with you for a walk.
- Create a “pocket heater”: When you feel that your hands are starting to freeze, wrap the battery in foil so that the battery contacts are closed (the foil should touch both poles of the battery).
- Heating: The battery will begin to heat up due to the short circuit created by the foil. This will generate heat.
- Use for warmth: Now you can use the heated battery to warm your hands or even heat up your food.
Important points:
Safety: Be careful not to get burned. If the battery is too hot, it is better to wrap it in a cloth or use gloves.
Battery type: It is advisable to use a low voltage battery to avoid too much heat.
Time control: Do not leave the battery on for long periods of time to avoid overheating and possible damage.
This life hack is especially useful in extreme conditions, when you need to quickly warm up and have no other means at hand. But remember safety precautions and use it wisely!
