Hey Andex, ever thought about turning a pile of junk into the next big startup? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve that could make even the most skeptical investor take a second look.

Alright, first step: grab a busted old phone, strip out the battery, a few spare microchips, and some copper wires. We’ll rig a tiny solar charger into a broken bike frame, paint it bright neon, then call it a “micro‑energy pack” for urban explorers. Next, take that rusted metal, cut it into small brackets, and use them to hold up a prototype of a portable water‑filter made from charcoal and sand. We’ll bundle these two “gadgets” in a sleek canvas tote, add a QR code that links to a demo video, and boom—investors get a taste of sustainable tech, all from what they’d call junk. Ready to roll?

Got it—here’s the quick numbers so you can drop them into a slide deck. The solar‑charged charger runs a 5‑Ah battery off a 12‑W panel, so you get about 60 Wh per day from a single panel. The filter cuts chlorine, lead, and microbes to below 1 µg/L – that’s industrial‑grade clean water. We can source the phone parts for $3 each, the copper wire and panels for $5, and the frame and canvas for $2, so the whole kit comes to roughly $10 per unit. If you sell it at $25, that’s a 60 % margin. We’re talking a 3‑month prototype, 2‑week testing, then a demo at the next investor meet. Easy enough to ship to the first batch. Ready to hit the bench?
