Introduction: How to Make a Portable 5V USB Charger (For IPods, IPhones, and Mobile Devices)

Demonstration of How it works:
This Can Charge An iPod, iPhone, or Mobile Phone. As Long as it has a 5V (or around 5V) It Can Charge it through the USB. I will include the schematic and the PCB Layout. Also This Does Work and Im An Electronics Engineer so I Know What Im Talking About. I Will Include The Links of where you can get the supplies you need. Radioshack has everything you will need except a USB Female Jack. I will include one from a website Jameco. OR YOU CAN BY A USB WIRE AT RADIOSHACK AND SOLDER IT ON. But It (A) Might Not Work because the distance the Current is traveling will cause some of the current to be lost. OR (B) It might take longer to charge. Anyways I would go with the jack from Jameco to be safe. Just Follow The Schematic Or PCB Layout.
