Ben Heck builds hand-crank chargers for Android phones, continues work on his new pinball machines and brings an LCD back from the dead.
Using a cheap wind-up flashlight, Ben builds a USB charger for his phone.
Pushing his luck, Ben tries to attach his crank charger to his leg, for a motion-powered charging solution.
With the help of his friends, Ben continues work on his pinball projects. He explains a "Rapid Pinball Prototyping System" which will hopefully allow him to set up geometry quickly.
A poor, homeless, broken LCD wanders into Ben's shop. He then attempts to bring it back to life and usefulness.
