• One inventive person has come up with a way in which one can use their old battery charger to create an antenna to access free internet
• Impressed netizens bowled over by the life hack praised the simple yet ingenious contraption, with many eager to try it for themselvess

Do not throw your old charges away.

That's the message from one social media influencer eager to share a tech hack like no other.

Free internet access device

Considering the price of data, it's no wonder inventive people will devise ways to save on costs while maximising the power of creativity.

However, you should consider yourself a genius if you invented a way to turn an old battery charger into a powerful antenna for free internet access.

Now, imagine that.

Social media influencer @Ndi_Muvenda_ shared a clip giving step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

The caption read:

"Put your old charger in boiling water, and you'll thank me!"

The idea of putting a charger inside a boiling pot of water is farfetched, but that is until the logic behind it is explained.

The sped-up video shows the practical demonstration while an automated voice narrates what is happening.

Easy-to-follow steps to designing hack

The voice explains:

"Never throw away your old charger again. Put it to boil in hot water and see the result. Let's put our old charger to boil in hot water to make it easier to open. See how easily it comes out. See that there is a circuit inside; we have to remove it [and] you can cut the wires. Next, we will need a razor blade and solder the charger to this blade. Now, we will need an old chip. Put some glue on it and stick it on the circuit. You will never pay for [the] internet again."

The voice continues narrating further steps, including soldering wires to the chip and drilling holes for wiring to go through.

In the end, the demonstration showed the completed contraption with all its necessary components.

The content creators tested it by connecting it to a smartphone — and what do you have? Bob's your uncle.

Afterwards, they tested it by connecting it to a smartphone using a cable protruding from the device.

It connected it to the internet — proving the hack worked like a charm.

Life hack creates massive waves online

There was no doubting the clip's far-reaching effect or overstating the crazy, ridiculous numbers it generated in the nearly 48 hours since it was posted.

The two-minute video garnered a whopping 9.8 million views, 17000 bookmarks, 16000 likes, 4600 reposts, and 1400 comments.

"I forgot an important step: You always should pour a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt into the boiling water. It will smooth the waves. Remember to keep a second razor for yourself."
