I noticed the ribbon cable and the battery backup right off, too.
I had my doubts as to him “building” it and this article shows that and the video backs it up.
I took a couple clocks apart after they failed, but never came up wit the idea of putting one in a case and taking it to school.
Bizarre.
More like America: Kiss the a$$ of the immigrant. Why is this POS here in the US?
I will add...
Either he doesn’t know what a patent is or what invent means, or he’s a bald faced liar.
Being that he is 14 years old, I’m going with liar. He and the president have that in common.
This is amazing & a great post. Good for you and great that you took the time to do this...bet you had fun too. Glaringly obvious the lack of common sense in MSN and liberal society. You really should send your article to media...this information needs to be reported in MHO. I didn’t have a clue when this story broke, not engineering minded like yourself. I have parts left over when I mess with stuff and have no idea why or where. :p
But I do feel I have a healthy dose of commom sense. My first thought was why put a clock in a brief case? That doesn’t make any sense. Just sayin’.
I already said as much here in a recent post two days ago. As soon as I saw the circuit board I knew that this kid had not created anything. I suspected Exactly what this article has proved and I stated it.

I believe the Author of the article transposed a couple a numbers and the real RS part number is 63-765
A big thanks to Anthony for writing this article. We at FR have very educated and experienced people with many skills in many areas.
To have them take the time to explain how things work is a blessing for those of us who don’t know electronics, etc.
I wonder how many newspapers and TV/radio stations/networks are going to find, read and present to their readers and listeners what he has written.
Right now I’m thinking about ZERO, even most of the conservative ones whose news gathering/dissecting abilities seem to be on a summer’s mental hold.
I had a long discussion on FR concerning how Trump should have replied to the man in the New Hampshire audience who said that Obama was a Muslim, etc.
My position was that if the man had made the statement as his opinion, things would have been fine, but he made a declarative statement as though he knew what he was saying was the “truth”, not his opinion. That is where the danger lies for conservative candidates and even elected officials.
You will be sandbagged from all sides and you need to be ready to sink those unannounced opinion statements at the start.
In the case of little Achmed Mohammed, serious conservative writers should consult electronics experts such as Anthony to get some real background on the device in question, before making declarative or unsubstantiated characterizations of the boy and the device. Their reputation for accuracy rests on this type of professionalism.
The first rule of journalism is to always wait 24 hours to allow the smoke of an event to clear but making statements that will come back to bite you in the ass.
Long-time Communist sympathizer writer Mark Lane’s book “Rush to Judgment” on the JFK assassination, got away with his wildly off target claims about a conspiracy to kill the president, because people needed a lot of time to read the Warren Commission Report/Summary, which debunked Lane’s fantasies.
We cannot allow that kind of “rush to judgment” mentally cloud our thinking and investigative reporting.
“Accuracy” is what will help us win in the present and in the future. Make one major mistake (or even a minor one), and the leftist media will crucify you like ISIS does to Christians they capture.
So, thank you Anthony. You have put sanity, knowledge and the need for a clear look at events back into the question of how the media reacts to events, how the President is such a leftist media vulture, and how gullible too many Americans are on all sides of the political spectrum.
If Leonard Nimoy, “Mr. Spock”, were still alive, he would say about Anthony’s article, “That is Logical”.
Just because it was listed in a 1986 catalog does not mean that the kit was first created in 1986. It could still be inventory that was produced in the late 70s.
Growing up as a kid in the early 70s, I saw plenty of model kits at K-Mart that were from the mid-60s.
Do kids even wear wristwatches these days? I thought they all had cellphones (which have built in clocks).
All of the kid’s defenders should try bringing similar ‘clocks’ onto airplanes and see what TSA thinks of their engineering designs. < /sarcasm >
Mr. Obama knows all about the Emperor's New Clothes.
I think you are right about the guy in Trumps audience saying it was his opinion.
But I also think he could of said “Obama is not a Muslim ....he just plays one on TV.”
most assertions if couched in qualifiers become more easily acceptable....
For anyone who wants to try it here’s an identify which is a bomb and which is not thread. I’d like to see if some of the freepers who say the teacher was stupid to see if they can pass it.

Countdown clock to Yom Kippur...
True. And to your point why does mo Ham Head need a very ungainly time piece that he carries around in a container the size of a lunchbox when he probably has a cellphone? And why plug it in while in English class?
Did he ask for a seatbelt extender and if he could change seats as well?
Obama is not a Muslim. He just plays one on the World Stage.
From the same cloth.
Did you build that in the kitchen of your mom?
