Fun fact: one unit of manpower is equal to approximately 75 watts; that's one tenth of a horsepower. So that would mean it would take ten men to equal the power of one horse.
One horse is like 14 hp though
damn, that device better be packin some good batts and cooling if it's runnin at 75 watts
@@mpk6664 and what if 1 manpower is 4 men???
@@mpk6664 horse power was based on the ability to raise a set amount of weight up a certain amount.
It was invented at the birth of the steam engine, and iirc, was meant to tell mine owners how many horses one machine could replace

I've discovered that Man Power moved on to making watches called the "powerdisk." What an intriguing company.
Not only that, some of the (still cheap-looking) watch models they made still double as a FREAKIN MP3 PLAYER/RECORDER. JUST LIKE THIS ONE. Also had USB ports to connect to a computer, but I'm not really sure. They mostly come in the "analog" watch face style too, with this model notably an exception because I've never seen a digital version of their watches save for this MAN POWER® watch.
They also dabbled in the smart watch touch screen bullcrap but haven't read on much about that.
disk man would be a full cycle
Did you take the dgmarble site and wayback machine it as well
@Newcious Yo 🔊 ua-cam.com/video/bezFu_tyVWc/v-deo.html
Apparently they make dishwasher soap pods now.
Imagine if a time traveler like John Titor came to our time looking for the Man Power because it had a hidden feature critical to saving humanity. DankPods would be the only record they could use to find it.

@@nimnim3311 John Titor predates Steins;Gate by nearly a decade. The VN author just thought he was interesting and used him in their story.
@@ReptilianLepton really i dint know damn ill look it up. thanks for the info
There's a name I haven't heard since tomorrow.
Did he got the pc made by his grandfather or something that he needed to fix the future? Or by doing so did he messed our timeline and this is why everything is going to shts a the moment?
i love waiting for thursday to come around to hear my favorite aussie yell at electronics
it is truly everyone's favorite moment of the week!
Yes
Friday mornings for us real people mateeeeee
And talk about frank
Friday
I used to have that Bantam mp3 player! Someone stole it out of my locker in PE and I was devastated. I was a bit of a nugget connoisseur in highschool. I had the Bantam, an m:robe, a creative Zen, and a few others. I eventually bought an ipod because I finally realized they were so much better, but I liked to think I was making the smarter decision getting these weirdo nuggets on sale at Fry's.
Did it actually ever show up on your PC when you plugged it in? Lol
I had a Creative Zen Touch, that thing was great. The corded remote was very handy and added the ability to listen to FM radio and also record FM Radio on the go. Also 20GB of storage and 24hours of playback on one charge.
A few of these nuggs you mentioned can run Rockbox. I like any nugget that can do that. If I see a rockboxable nugg at a flea market or on auction, I grab it. Rockbox is actually the reason I bought a 5th gen iPod in high school.
@@DiamandiL definitely the best one I owned besides the iPod. Stopped working after a while though
@@ozzelot3349 what's Rockbox?
Man, what a shame that his thing apparently flopped. I was so hyped for the MAN POWER®6in1 MP³ PLAYER
No no the 6in1 would be one of those mp4 players that don’t play mp4s
no mr jaccik it's a 5 in 1, see you wouldn't get it bc you're not a true MAN POWER®5in1 MP³ PLAYER fan such as myself, but one day you'll get there
I was waiting for the MAN POWER®5in1 MP³ PLAYER 2, personally
I was exited for the manpower 5 in 1 and Apple Watch crossover not the 6 in 1
He must upload the drivers for his nuggets to an archive site.
He could get run over by a bus tomorrow and the world would be lacking the Man Power Driver.
He must stay away from buses until the Man Power Driver is safe.
We need his Man Power Driver.
Man power was a known brand here in France. They are/were making mostly vacuums and kitchen robots, funny to see a MP3 from them !

At the start: “rare doesn’t mean something is valuable, it just means there isn’t many of them.”
That’s so true

That works with planes.

@@LuckyLego honestly who cares. my favorite part is also when he uploads 😍 i AGREE haha
@@LuckyLego ahh yes, a bot I am. I’ve been got. Time to flee the country
The manual schematic you showed at 4:00 says that the USB mini port is for "USB, earphones and battery charger" - so I guess the included earphones would have been USB mini ones... which makes it even funnier that someone took them out and kept them.
Or a more plausible explanation, they broke instantly and they tossed them.
That sounds like something I would do...I use a type A USB connector to hook a magnetic tape recorder head to a 2N2222 transistor amplifier so I can get the raw flux signal out of a walkman, and still use that amplifier for other tape recorders, it's like someone's home soldering project went near commercial, but they couldn't iron out the amateur stuff like abusing USB ports for analog sound. But definitely, the old squarish Mini USB connector standard is hot garbage.
@@brentfisher902 what did that Walkman ever do to deserve that kind of abuse?
Oh yeah, Walkman. It has plenty of sins to answer for.
NGL just that box itself, i could totally imagine like a thousand dollar nugget hiding in there, it looked really fancy from the outside. Altough i can also imagine how cheap it felt.
The packaging was so fancy for what lol
all the budget went into the punched metal logo
Reeeee, I can feel the cheapness now.
Like a really cheap chair at an event.
You can safely bet the people bought it because the box looks so premium and they was very disappointed
I think you're not giving them enough credit at Man Power®, their box did infact hold the glorious 5 in 1
Watch-slash-MP3 player
Man-well
Burned CD
Registration card
Mini USB dingus
That's 5. In 1 box. Totally counts. (This is why they had to leave out the MP3 power. That would be 6-in-1, and we're just not ready for that.)
@@nickwallette6201 did you really spell out slash instead of just putting a “/“?? Typing out slash defeats the whole purpose of the slash in the first place lmao

I love how Dank always deliberately puts his PKcell in a position where it can easily roll away

I always assumed they were an Aussie brand, but I saw some here in the States recently. I got some weird looks for laughing at some batteries.
aaauughhh mah pkcell
It was funny for the first few times but it gets frustrating, damn dude get the junk out of the way
@@Journey_Awaits but he says it so funnily
I love how it has a patent, like they’re actually worried about someone who WANTS to copy them.
I enjoy that you can turn some of the worst examples of entertainment technology into such thoroughly entertaining content lmao
Dank: "I'm two in, and I can't think of another one"
*is physically pointing to "digital recorder" in the shot*
It seems like there's a strong chance the OEM produced their own varient under the part number of mp-w04. "Super Power" rather than "Man Power".

The driver installer mentions the SigmaTel 3400, which looks to be the all-in-one chip that is the brains of this operation-it handles playback, recording, and the USB interface. It came out in 2001 and was intended to cut the BOM + assembly cost of the audio pipeline part of a portable media player by ⅓-½. Judging by the existence of this device, it was at least somewhat successful at that.
So what MAN POWER (or their ODM) did was wrap it up in a watch form factor and wire up an interface with some external control logic.
I actually kind of like it-it’s not just a knockoff of something else, it’s that weird Shenzhen ingenuity of taking some components, smashing them together, and seeing what sticks. In this case it didn’t work out so well, but at least it was interesting.
I actually have one of these, found it at a Goodwill or something. I really tried to mess around with it just for laughs, but couldn’t do much with it without any documentation or software. It’s still sitting in a bin in my storage unit.
Watching this video made me curious about it again. If only you would upload the stuff, for me to tamper with…😂
Man, I hope he gets back to you!
@@Michael-Archonaeus I doubt it, but it would be neat.

After refusing to document anyone having worn the Cheesephones, he is now given the honour of having the first record of the Man Power Nugget.
Wait so your telling me that the Man Power 5in1 mp3 player watch isn't that good?
As a TF2 player... The name mann power reminds me of something completely different
this could totaly be a watch for spy
to be fair nobody remembers that one too 🌝
ive found my people
mannpower went hard though
Just a quick tip, 6:57 When you get this popup on Windows XP, just check "No, not this time" and click next. It will install the driver by itself if it has it. That's the case for most USB devices on Windows XP
When Dank mentioned he was holding all the information on the Man Power 5in1 in his hands at that moment, I was fully expecting a manual to be torn to pieces in the next few seconds HAHA
i'm always impressed by the fact that the video stays interesting even though the nuggets might not work
i’m not even interested in tech but your vids are entertaining and it’s enjoyable to learn about the past and other bootleg nuggets. your passion becoming your job and you having fun as well inspires me greatly. thank you brotha.
The chip that thing uses, the SigmaTel STMP3400, seems actually like a pretty capable audio player chip for the time! It can read from pretty much any media out there back then, hard drives, memory cards, RAM, flash, CD drives..., can get up to 35h on a single AA battery of playback and has basically everything built in, LCD and button interfaces, USB connection, audio in and out, FM radio hookups, the whole lot. Shame it ended up in this watch, though.
Did you check if the CD installed any weird proprietary transfer software into the start menu or so?
2:00 Congratulations DankPods, you are now the proud holder of a man card.
You should make a Wikipedia article on this. A nugget of this high quality deserves to be documented.
Looked like they spent more money making the case than the actual Man Power 3in1 Mp3 Player/Digital Recorder
Dankpods. Thanks for everything. I lost half of my family 2 days ago in an accident and watching Ur vids cheers me up. Thank you.
HOLY CRAP. I 100% owned one of those as a kid. I completely forgot about it, but the moment you took it out of the box, the familiarity knocked me over like a freight train.
Dank Man reviews yet another nugget and talks about his broken dog at the end. To all reading this stay safe and stay hydrated!
I needed this video after a long day of work. Thanks, Mr. Pods!
Can we just appreciate dankpods
He’s just so cool
And frank is a very good snake
very chunk snek
8:07 he sounds like a Miami surfer who just laughed at his own joke
Hey Danky Stanky, thank you for reinspiring me to collect headphones again, just ordered my first pairs of KZs to listen with while I'm at work! Love the videos!
1:55 :”ooh nononono” 😂 this got me dying for some reason
My favorite part was when Wade said "It's Danking Time!" And proceed to Dank all over the Pods.
At 2:10, the warranty card asks for the "Agent's chop". Truly a quality product.
It's nice to see the production quality improving on your videos, really shows the amount of time spent on these videos. We love to see it
what production quality? there's nothing different about this video compared to the rest, you're just saying that because you want the attention. Give me a single example of "improved production quality" compared to the last few videos. go ahead, i'll wait.
Where's the improvement? where is it.
@@ViewpointProd you good bro?
@@ViewpointProd do you understand sarcasm? I'll cut you some slack cause it's not so obvious but still you could've came on a little lighter
@@oval306 Maybe just use "/s" next time
@@randomtinypotatocried why would OP do that?
I'll bet you that mini-usb port just needed to be cleaned with some isopropyl alcohol. C'mon, Wade, you got the gloves already, clean the nuggets!
Windows did detect the nugget though, it just didn't seem to be a normal storage device. Probably something rather proprietary by SigmaTel, the chip manufacturer
I bet you needed to use the installed software to transfer data in and out of it.
First cheese nugget phones, now a watch nugget, what's next? A one grit nugget?
MP3 playback would definitely be a feature of "Pet Rock® 2™"
1:42 “here we go!!” *laughs psychotically*
You have no idea how happy it makes me that you finally fixed the resolution of the Eee PC! Love the videos keep it up!
I've had a super stressful signing up for my college time table, perfect time for a dank video
Probably, the user hay to open up the proprietary software that was installed off the CD for the device to operate. That said if it was worth its weight in salt it should've automatically executed the software.
I find this even more amusing considering I work for a temp agency called Manpower 😂
They should give you a Manpower watch
why yes, yes they should
0:30 the dad case is strong with this one
I NEED TO GAIN MORE MANPOWER
its amazing to see the patron list make a full alphabet now and how fucking long it is you deserve it all dank good on ya mate
Every Friday morning I know when I'm entering UA-cam there'll be a dankpod video right on the home page and I love it... I don't remember any other UA-cam channel making me this excited for their new video...
"Where's the headphone jack?"
Ahead of its time! (pun not intended)
Seriously though, imagine wearing this on your wrist and listening to music without wireless headphones. I'm sure it's the most comfortable thing in the world and not totally awkward at all.
I was just about to make the same comment. The cord would either be too short and constantly pulling the headphones off my head, or it would be too long and get caught on absolutely everything.
Please try to make your own MP3 player from parts you have. I’d love to see the shrekpod model 2!!!
Love your videos. Absolutely makes my day when you release a video thank you bud.
This video is pretty cool (as always) and the usual funni thumbnail!!! As always my day has been improved by the Australian mp3 man
Managed to find this dingus on Made-In-China (I have too much spare time).
They can make 600,000 pieces a year, but last logged in during 2009 so probably not.
It even says that it includes "MP3 power" 😂
It lists the 5 in 1 "features".
Very thoughtful that it came with its own coffin. Is that what inspired Frank's "saw the thin doggo in half" routine?
Really great video. The recipe worked great Thanks!
I've been watching you since the video recorded on the ipod mini, your quality is still amazing and your videos always make me laugh. Keep it up!
Love your videos always make my day thank you for your time and work put in to the video's 🙂
If it’s a very early MP3 player it may predate the usb mass storage standard. Hence the need to install the driver from the disk. It also likely requires a custom application to transfer files onto it, did that CD installation install anything other than the device driver? Did you check in the start menu for a new program? My first MP3 player was an MP-Man F35, which required using a custom transfer application, as did the Creative Nomad 2 I got from around the same era.
Great vid Danky, these vids are the highlight of my week.
😂😂😂Yet another fantastic vid!!! Genuinely one of my favorite content creators!!
1K views per minute? Damn that’s pretty DANK, Mr. Pod! 👏👏👏
right, as a concept an MP3 player watch actually seems pretty interesting. However even if it was done by a proper company I feel it wouldn't be a good idea unless it could take wireless earphones.
And in the modern age I feel this role would be superceded by smart-watches
it seems interesting but... why would you want it? if you think about it for like 3 seconds, its a completely stupid idea that makes no sense. also... old mp3 player plastic rubbing on your wrist... yuck.
Casio actually did a half-decent one, though it didn't go much further than the manpower.
i love that i live in the europe so when you upload a vid its like between 23:00 and 1:00, or 11pm to 1am for folks who are using am/pm system
This is probably THE most wholly unique channel on this website 😁 Love you DankPods
I love hearing Dank laugh like a little girl it's hilarious
So when you plugged it in, it showed that it detected the STMP3410. Turns out that is an MP3 player chip that's inside the thing.
You need to get the entire set. Every colour. Make this the unofficial official dankpods mascot.
Hey Dank. Just had to put my cat down today, obviously feeling a bit trash. This made me smile. Thanks.
"Why isn't it detecting the USB lead?" Probably because you didn't take the entire cover off. It's still detecting the broken bit. Then you get pissed off when it won't fully fit, despite the fact you still haven't removed the broken bit of the usb cover. Look at 8:55. Pull the damn cover out.
calm down buddy. don't cry too much
@@Nonexistent_creature we found someone working for the manpower company

Thank you Wade, once again with a simple video, you cheered me up, when I was down.
I started watching in like 2021 and I still watch today. When I started watching you the time just flew by like I start at lets say 14.00 and I stop at 17.00 (I watch for 5 hours sometimes). And when I saw you playing the drums and I said:
(F*** it I am learning drums now.)
I am a huge fan.
Thanks for making me play drums.
Nice video btw.
Damn it you ruined Frank's magic show. That was some Houdini level of performance.

Like really mate, I genuinely love all of your videos, like all of them. I watch them every day when I'm alone at my house, and I always loved it. Like the stuff that you create out of jokes and stuff, like the 1 grit, frank, and so many other things are what makes your content unique, no wonder why you got a million subs!
I genuinely want to move to Australia just because of you. I want to meet you one day, and I really mean that, and really simply continue the stuff you're doing. You're absolutely great.
The only thing google could pull up about the product was this very video. You sir, are a pioneer!
I fully expected Mr dank to tear up all the information on this nugget when he pointed out he now owns all the info left about it
“I’m two in and I can’t think of anything else to do with this, and I’m halfway in.” Brilliant.

You have a great companion. I love frank at the of the videos!
