Extremely cool project! -
@alda @theresnotime @mattgrayyes imagine any public transit with USB-C
They basically started rolling out USB-A in the late 2010s, so we’re only *checks watch* 20 years away from getting USB-C in the open public spaces
@whophd @alda @theresnotime @mattgrayyes Rip. Hamburg's Hochbahn (Subway and busses) already got combined USB-A & USB-C ports.
I only see them being used very rarely though. They also only put out just enough to charge something like a smartphone (Something between 5V 1A and 2A I think, so 5 to 10W). Almost anyone is carrying a power bank by now capable of way more current. -

i have never seen either being used

@mattgrayyes brilliant! Now I'm wondering if you could do faster by replacing the BMS...

@mattgrayyes the kettle was the funniest thing I've seen all week, lol. Great idea too! -

And of course it involves a custom circuit board. Companies like PCBWay and JLCPCB have made custom circuitry far easier than before, but I wonder what might happen when those shut down with no replacement.
@csolisr Engineering companies will always need to manufacture prototypes. They might stop catering to individuals, but the service will exist (for a price)

@cinebox @Natanox @whophd @theresnotime @mattgrayyes As someone with a background in the electrical trades, I'd advice against running 230 V AC on a city bus.

I haven’t words for how brilliant your idea is, and the eloquence of your disclaimer.
You are an excellent engineer.
