![]() I didn't want to risk a perfectly good charger cord with destruction by butter, so instead pulled out the odd bits and bobs we have left from old science kits, and chose a little motor, inserting the terminals right into the butter. The YouTube video works pretty well the same way, except using whipped cream instead of butter, and a ceramic plate. ![]() shakes his goat milk in a handy gourd, until it turns into butter, slathers the butter over the batteries, and sticks his charger cord, connected to the his phone, right into the butter. In the book, Jake simply lays the batteries together on a metal plate (he'd been given to eat on). We looked up the video, and then decided to do a little experimenting ourselves. ![]() In a "what is fact and what is fiction" section at the back of the book, that made my homeschool heart happy, the author sights a YouTube video on "How to Charge an Ipod with Batteries and Whipped Cream", as inspiration for the stunt. Out of cell range, but hoping for a rescue, the teen charges his phone using a couple of batteries from a flashlight, and some goat's milk butter. Along the way, he manages to make a few frantic calls to his father, the British ambassador, before his cell battery goes dead. ![]() Jake, the 15 year old protagonist of the story, finds himself kidnapped, along with his 13 year old sister Kas, and hauled out to a remote location in the desert. ![]()
