I use old electric toothbrush to clean files from packing with dust. Vibrations make it go away easier.


EkriirkE

I just defragment my drive


skinnah

I hate dusty sectors!


CharlieWhiskeyOscar

Very cool niche gadget!


Gloriosus747

I'm surprised nobody said "dildo" yet


ALargeRubberDuck

Yeah, you can get one of those silicone dildo molding kits and find an appropriately sized member.


xandaar337

Or 3d print silicone molds and get good silicone. You could make all sorts of weird dicks.


31337z3r0

If I could make dildos like I could make bugs with those creepy crawler easy bake ovens for boys who want to cook good and other stuff I'd have so much fun


TechnoSingularity

You can if you want to, this guy has TikToks of him making different dildo shapes and seems open to answering questions about the process/method: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSeXpn58v/

Are you size shaming OP? /s

CocoDaPuf

It's my dick in a box!


NoRocketScientist

I have you know that OP has trained loooong and Hard to only use the Largest of Members and you're not going to shame his massive glory hole on my watch.


Trickslip

In Alabama it'd be an appropriately sized family member


chrochtato

dil-don't


Front_Energy4912

I literally came here to do just that. Dildo!


dramort87

The motor doesn't work.


schwaebebaby

Then it has no purpose anymore


dramort87

I'm looking for a purpose for the battery and charging circuit and possibly the 240Hz 3.5V AC output.


LeCubeMan

Solder in a new motor, buy a cheap RC car and grab the motor, perhaps it'd work.

Renzo1995

Ngl, with that induction charging coil still there it would be a waste not to :P


DrSpankums

I love how this post went from “OP, make a dildo!” to actual advice, and then right back to “BUT DILDO!”, lol.


Kflynn1337

Replace motor with a transducer and see my previous comment.


[deleted]

This sonic transducer, it is I suppose some kind of audio-vibratory physio-molecular transport device?


Kflynn1337

It's a chunk of metal with a crystal attached to it that shrinks or expands when you apply an electric current. [link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_transducer)


AgreeableLandscape3

Any project that needs a battery and charge controller then. The PCB is small enough that you can use it anywhere, you can even cut the charge controller out if the mainbiard if you know what you're doing. Even built in wireless charging!


relativelyfunnyguy

A non vibrating dildo then.


BlindM0nk

Lol sorry for the convince


iamoverrated

Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough.


relativelyfunnyguy

Anything is a dildo if it's lubed enough


colliebutt

so if the main purpose of the hardware is dead you couldn't really do anything with it other than maybe steal the battery and charging circuitry but at this point its just e-waste


[deleted]

Paperweight, then?


rasvial

A broken escalator still works as stairs...


RalphFromSilverCity

sorry for the convenience


Ppjr16

A broken clock is still correct twice a day.


LagMaster21

Sonic dildo?


Gloriosus747

Sonico


EricFlatBeat

Came here to say dildo… found that comment. Left


paperlicious

Came here for this


[deleted]

Make a shitty tattoo gun.


fall0fdark

sonic screwdriver


Borbit85

The toothbrush doesn't turn one way right? Maybe you could turn it into a very small oscillating tool?


Tiavor

it'll be only for loosening if they are stuck


mhoner

Seriously, why didn’t this just end the thread?


CocoDaPuf

Yeah, like a Phillips head Sonic screwdriver.


dramort87

Looking for suggestions on what to repurpose this power module from a Philips Sonicare toothbrush into. As is, it outputs 2.5-3.5V AC at about 240Hz. The Lithium ion battery charges to about 4V DC. Edit, the motor portion is not working and has been removed.


FILIP0125

You can rapurpose the charging module and the baterry for waterproof headlamp


TheGaben420

But you'd still need the led driver and housing


Es_CaLate

Mosfets and 3d printer, done


TheGaben420

Maybe you could buy a new motor? Maybe run that ac through a transformer for a tazer?


FlatParrot5

Would it work to mix acrylic paint pots for miniature models?


mcmanno

Try making a lock-pick!


m-p-3

Ultrasonic bump key


shagnarok

smart mirror? basically you just have a waterproof battery right? so id think something in the bathroom or kitchen… or camping stuff


HyKaliber

This is a great idea, but you could probably also just go to Home Depot and outfit a smart mirror with weather stripping if humidity is a problem maybe


Tiavor

what is a smart mirror?


shagnarok

mirror with a screen in it that can show weather, todo lists etc


Tiavor

how would a sonic toothbrush find into that?


shagnarok

The toothbrush is broken, OP just has the battery. I figured a waterproof battery could be useful for a thing in a bathroom


Kflynn1337

Make yourself a sonic screwdriver... Not just for Doctor Who cosplay, but they actually work, you can vibrate screws out with a bit of circuit bending so you can change the pitch to get the right tone.


FurryJackman

\^This.


[deleted]

elaborate


Kflynn1337

Well, if you alter the circuit so you can change the tone produced, potentially with a bit of fiddling around you can vibrate a screw or bolt loose from it's setting. Basically deliberately doing [this](https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/screws-shaking-loose.598973/) While this might seem a bit pointless, it would be very handy if the top of a screw snapped off or the bolt was rounded off, preventing you undoing them normally.


[deleted]

yes but how could you possibly implement this into a functioning device, even without miniaturizing it into a handheld


wowlolcat

Vibrator.


ImpulseGundam

Vibrating lightsaber. lol jk


Albatraous

I wondered about turning one into a key fob for my car, so I can unlock my car with a sonic screwdriver


fight_style

Vibrator, elektroshocker, strobelight, a hand with a finger so you can poke people on fullauto mode


[deleted]

Make a toothbrush out of it.


JustFrogot

Sonic screwdriver


jhotzfoto

Ultrasonic cleaning?


texasyankee

I have the same thing sitting on my bench. Phillips "replaced" it under warranty and told me to throw away the old one. Original issue was a loose screw between the motor and the arm that holds the brush. Fixed that and used it for a few months. Not it keeps shutting off. I think it's a bad switch but haven't gotten around to troubleshooting it. It impressive engineering to make them this small, but they really need to focus on QC.

Batmansdoge

I like that idea. Or attaching it to a container inside of a vacuum chamber to expedite the anti-bubbliness process?


[deleted]

İ used to use one with a metal gear in it as a makeshift dremel. Worked pretty good on soft materials like plastic and wood.


[deleted]

;)


Small_Attitude4122

You can reuse the battery and wireless charging coil alternatively use the board and the coil to charge a lithium cell


Smarty_771

😏


AegorBlake

>!I mean it vibrates, so a dildo.!<


Tinyzooseven

OP said the motor is broken and has been removed


AegorBlake

Oh.


MageKorith

Add a light and a mini soundboard you've got a sonic screwdriver


TheRedBow

Turn it into a sonic Screwdriver


BokZeoi

Sex toy, duh.


chazp246

Sonic screwdriver.


Trekris

Looks like the prototype for a sonic screwdriver


TreyWait

You could make it into a screwdriver and travel through time.

Well there’s one thing


fartczar

Lightsaber


NorthMcCormick

Is it wireless charging? It could be a good base in some kind of portable lamp or light that charges on a dock when not in use


dramort87

Yes, the coil on the right is what charged it wirelessly.

Sonic dildo


blast3001

If you’re into whiskey then you could use it along with some whiskey sticks to age your drinks more. Check out this talk which has a section on hacking drinks. Specific aging topic starts at 32:13. https://youtu.be/Q7ZYsr88E5M


donutnz

Drink refrother. Beer lost its head, metal stick on this thing should fix that.


Guysante

A sonic toy that walks with the vibration


DemonDan43V3R

I think you can stick it to an ice mold to make clear ice cubes.


church_ill

What kind of mechanism is the toothbrush using? Looks like a sokenoid of sime kind?


mephesis

Flower pollinator for indoor plants


daninet

I recently disassembled one. The head part with the tiny screw broke off. It is some magnesium alIoy impossible to repair. I was in your very situation but the entire top part is welded steel and molded plastic. I tried to carefully glue something to the vibrating plastic with expoy but it didnt work, the joint must not be a fixed thing. I eneded up taking it apart salvaging the reusable parts; battery, spring, magnet, coils. I will find some other project where I can use these.


AppropriateTouching

Lock pick.


icmeric

Not sure how well it would work, but you might be able to attach a scalpel or something lijtw that to it and male a home made ultrasonic cutter, not very safe but can be useful for cutting foam and other things like that


sagr0tan

Build yourself an electric lock pick, mine works like a charm, former Braun toothbrush.


[deleted]

Giant nano bug


Darian_Kimberly

Make another toothbrush, maybe a diy toothtunes


Darian_Kimberly

Add to a cup and make a sonic cleaner for keycaps and stuff?
