Inside a diamond tester.

For such a cheap device this thing is really quite sophisticated. It measures thermal conductivity of gemstones with a simple probe.

Usually to make it harder to copy.

2017-10-18 22:52:54 +0000 UTCDo you have any idea why the manufacturer may have removed the chips identifying text?
2017-10-18 22:19:02 +0000 UTCIndeed interesting the annodisation doesn't conduct heat. Great video

2017-10-14 04:14:09 +0000 UTCNeither of those. Despite doing a lot of electronic effects and props for movies and TV programs I've only ever been given a credit once (because I literally saved the day.). The credits in a film generally just represent the departments working directly for the production and not external prop workshops.

2017-10-13 16:31:03 +0000 UTCArgh! I love the "old" movies (to me prior to the 80's), and watch Turner Classic Movies, regularly. Learned (understand) several different languages, because they didn't use to subtitle the foreign languages. If you could provide a year range, and some of the plot, on YouTube, I'm sure that we'd figure it out! Thanks!
2017-10-12 23:58:09 +0000 UTCIt's from a long time ago. I can't remember the name of the movie.

2017-10-12 23:05:06 +0000 UTCWhat's the movie? You're killing us! :-)
2017-10-12 21:52:03 +0000 UTCThe cost has prevented them from being used as a substrate for high power electronics. But they do use silicon carbide as a thermally conductive insulator.

2017-10-12 17:50:25 +0000 UTCI should try it on the phone screen too.

2017-10-12 17:49:14 +0000 UTCIf you have a watch with a sapphire glass or a phone with a sapphire camera lens cover, this tester should also show nearly the same reaction as diamond.

2017-10-12 12:56:41 +0000 UTCFascinating. I'd buy one of these just for the LED display and sit dreaming of Knight Rider.

2017-10-12 12:44:30 +0000 UTCI never knew that diamonds were so thermally conductive. Interesting and intriguing device.
