Now-a-days USBs are being used as a power source. I have seen them in Ditties recently. I am really not sure about the specifications of the output though. Once you know those specifications all you need is a transformer meant for that specs and then you are ready to use USB as a power source. Hope u got it.

It possible with USB but if you mean like CD ROM drive or Hard drives, then you need make (or turn them) them into exturnal by buying an exturnal box.

You could start with a junked fan, like a window fan. The bigger the better. If you can remove the blade from the shaft, you could use a similar shaft with a pulley on it to transfer the mechanical energy to a place where you can use it. You may have to bend the blades to get the best output.\nIf you build your own, you can make it much larger. I'd use plywood to make flat blades; not as efficient but a lot easier to make than curved ones. Or you could go Dutch style and make the blades latticed with a fabric cover, maybe nylon or dacron.

You can buy adapters for almost anything nowadays, adapters that will connect USB mice/keyboards to PS/2 sockets, DVI monitors to VGA plugs...etc Just pay a visit to your local Radio Shack.

You will need an adapter.\n\nSpecifically, a parallel-to-USB wire.\n\nThe link listed as a source is an adapter made by Belkin. It gives you some more information about this type of adapter.\n\nNOTE: The site may not represent the lowest price for the product. I highly advise searching local stores and internet sites for the lowest price.

Well you can put it in your pc, connect it like it's supposed to go and voila!  Now if you're asking how to connect it "externally" to a pc (and I'm assuming you're talking about an IDE burner) then you get a IDE to USB adapter and connect it that way.

You can purchase a very cheap thumb print scanner, and use the PC for authentication. Then have the PC trigger a solenoid via the serial or parallel port. You could use a microcontroller instead of a PC, but you will need to program the microcontroller.

Your question is very vague.\n\nGive more description as what you want. or contacta  hardware engineer.

try DC++...a little more complicated to use, but WAY more powerful, harder to shut down, and ('cause it's mostly based in Europe) TONS of cool stuff that you've never heard of...

Here you go. It leaves no tracks on the computer. It can even be run using a USB. \nhttp://www.torrify.com/

no, it is not.\n5 volts and 500ma are the max. that doesn't mean you can't hack it up though (i've been looking how too. lots of documenation.) might want to give this a shot\nhttp://www.usb.org/developers/docs/hs_usb_pdg_r1_0.pdf

What type of computer?\n\nRemote to do what?\n\nThere are remotes for certain things like T.V/video cards and a few other things but depending on what you want it for ther may not be a remote.

"All I want to do is burn all my huge video files" \na)Any friend have a a External USB Hard drive? to backup all the stuff.\nb) Purchase a External USB enclousure and insert your hard drive to enable it USB. then do a backup.\nc) Puchase a External USB enclousure and put the DVD burner in it, to do backups with your friends. There a lot of cheaper items on the web.

Never even heard of a device like that from bellsouth. I can't even find a google reference to something like that.\n\nYou could just unplug the computer and hide the power cable. Or just tell him to stay off of it. If he won't do what you say then unplug the computer and wack him with the power cable across his head.\n\nOccam's Razor will win out on this one.

Your best bet is to contact a company that specializes in this sort of thing. I've got a number of websites below that you could start with which would explain and provide links to helpful information.\n\nThere is software, but hardware is also needed. It is available in the USA, but I can't speak for the rest of the world.
