How to: Overclock a Toothbrush

In this classic "The Screen Savers" segment, Kevin Rose attempts to overclock a $6 electric toothbrush to perform like its $100 Sonicare counterpart. Video after the jump.
“The motor is actually rated for more power,” he said. Kevin took apart the case, added wires to the battery terminals, then added a battery pack (available at Radio Shack) on the outside. A little less attractive, perhaps, but it did exhibit speeded up performance

This is really cool, but the only problem I come too is that I usually use too much toothpaste, and it ends up getting all over the toothbrush, which makes me have to waterdown the whole toothbrush...

And the funniest of it all: Total cost: Cheap toothbrush $ 6,00 Battery-pack $ 12,00 Other material $ 10,00 Driving to the shops $ 20,00 Total Time cost $ 50,00 ------- Total cost $ 98,00 Total Profit $ 2,00 and for that price you still have a cheap ugly toothbrush. No, thank you very much, not for me!
