Thread: USB networking cable - Did U Know ?

Did you know that you can copy/ network two computers using USB-USB cable ??



The nearest to this that I've heard of is "M$ 's easy transfer cable" which is used by Windows Xp's File & settings transfer program.

But the actual fact is that we need a special cable unlike the Male-to-Female connect (used as extension cables) or even the Male-to-Male cable (which by the way, can destroy ur PC's USB/power supply etc).

It works in two modes

1. Link Mode
2. Network Mode

The former is meant for easy transfer of files, and is probably the reason for using the cable.

The latter's use similar to a network ethernet cable. It can be used for file, internet and printer sharing.


A little pricey. ~ $8 - $10 for a china make on ebay

Ya i knew it as here in my place there is a guy who makes such cables, once i had got one USB cable but just for temporary use but it had a little big size box in the middle

Interesting.

KK has built a wind turbine (for the lack of a proper word) to produce electricity and has connected it to his computer UPS/Inverter.

Cool ... are you able to generate that much electricity.

Btw do you possess a watt meter an all ?

The turbine which i am installing now is 1 KW it means if it spins at the rate of 65 + rpm, it will generate 1KW electricity in 1 hr, and here i will be having better wind for 7-8 hrs daily so its enough for my home usage & my pc, total watt i use at home during evening (6-10 pm) ~ 1000 watt

it will look like this
