On a related note, I looked back on the thread but wasn't able to see that anyone was able to find a hub that was able to power more than 5 of these things.

Did I miss something ? Does such a beast exist ? I'm starting to search on Amazon.com for something to manage all these guys, and not coming up with anything other than the 12 port hub (http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Power-Adapter-Control-Switches/dp/B0051PGX2I/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_img_y) that can power 5 of these things Sad

Would something like this work ?

-(1) 5 V DC port - Power Adapter: Output: 5 V / 4 A
-Up to 500 mA power, all ports


In theory yes... but...

For a stable connection, the devices connected to the 12 Port hub must not exceed a combined current of 5 volt 2A

That means 4 erupters.... but i guess 5 should be fine
