This 7.2v drill was shite when it was new. The battery pack is now totally dead, so I did a little mod:

So if I'm correct you are running a 7.2v drill directly off a 12v battery without any further modifications?

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.
Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.

12 Volt Mod
Now 20 years ago I was into radio controlled cars in a big way and bizarre random mods followed soon afterwards.
I started off with a Hornet.
<img src='http://www2.gpmd.com/image/t/tamc0346.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
which was soon followed by the Lunchbox.
<img src='http://www.towerhobbies.com/products/ta ... 57_350.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
After I then got the Thundershot. I was able to use the Hornet and Lunchbox for my modz.
<img src='http://www.modelsport.co.uk/_images/pro ... /58361.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
Now from memory the mods went as:
I used the rear wheels from the hornet on the lunchbox. The massive drop in radius had a similar effect on top speed but drastically increased acceleration.
Standard motor at 14,000 rpm was upgraded to a Gold model producing 25,000 @ 7.2v.
The next mod was to replace the 7.2v battery pack with an 8.4v model.
After all these were completed just a flick of acceleration meant the car pulled a wheelie and started scraping the bodywork. I had to quickly devise a new mod and screwed a couple of lego wheels onto the bodywork to prevent damage. Seeing this scale van pulling a wheelie for 100+yargs still brings happy memories to me today.
I ought to get back into the modelling, specifically the nitro stuff.

Ah! I used to create alsort back in my lego days.
I once built a machine to clean the tops of my shelves out of a paint roller, a fan and a plastic bag.
IT WAS AWSOME!.........even if it did break after the 1st few uses due to burning out the 3v motor by using every single AA battire I could find in my house. Think there was 10-15 one there. Went like the clappers.
Also once made a washing machine out of a microwave. Figure that one out.

My very first electrical mod would have been at middle school. We were learning about electrical circuits and after learning about heat and resistance, I connected up as many D cells into a line as possible and used a hot wire to chop the end off of an atlas. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The only time I've seen the teacher more angry was when someone (else) tried igniting about 5m of magnesium ribbon with a magnifying glass. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Magnesium wins!
But wire wool is surprisingly fun too - try sticking 240 volts across a whole bag of it <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

12 Volt Mod
I attempted a little mod the other day.
I had a little set of LED lights for my car, just perfect for interior lighting. They were rubbish, frankly, and connected via a lighter socket, which promptly broke. So I decided to wire them a bit more permanently to the interior light circuit.
If I'd remembered my school technology lessons a bit better, I'd have remembered that LEDs usually need a resistor in the circuit. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There was also a thread of mine here about LEDs for a case mod and I'm sure JJ said you need a resistor.
Bit of a moot point now the case is still in Oz. Shame really I was enjoying what I was doing there.

I know the smell only too well...
I was looking at the prices at Rapid Electronics - it's a shame I can't be arsed to do lots of cool stuff any more, because their LEDs are a fraction the price of Maplins or anywhere; like superbright white LEDs for a few pence rather than pounds... but when you only want 10 of them the postage is a killer!
