Darn it ... I should have patented it!

I was just talking to a co-worker about roller skating and I as reflecting on a roller skate "mod" I did back in ... 1983 or so.

My youthful (5th/6th grade) desire to be creative and cool, I had taped a single AA battery under each of my skates. I scavanged two little light bulbs from my HO-train set houses and taped them to the skates.

When the skating rink turned the lights down for slow songs, I would tape the ends of the wires to the bulbs to each end of the skates and I would have a little light under thereas I skated around.

The other kids made fun of me, until they saw it ... and then they all wanted to know how to do it!

Little did I know at that time, I invented the under body glow kit!

Damn ricers! :lol:

Rice. Making its way to a skating rink near you!

so just the single AA battery can power a light bulb? ... I got a few ideas just not sure for the wires.

so just the single AA battery can power a light bulb?
Not a full-sized bulb ... a TINY little light for a scale train set.

lol. You could be known as "King of Rice" had you followed through.

Is i wrong for me to all of a sudden want to do that to my skates? :uhoh:

Mabey if you were 20 years younger :grinyes:, but really that would be cool, post a video of you hanging onto the back of your GTO doing it. Id give you a cookie. Really.

LED + Watch Batteries FTW!

and put a Cadnium Diode in there to so they automatically come on when the lights go out, and a switch so you can turn them off.

SHWATE!

we should patent hat idea and sell it on infomercials for $19.99 + $20 s&h on Nick and Cartoon Network!!

theres a reason Rice has Ice in it...:uhoh:
