I featured these 3D printed cabochon lights on the last livestream, and was wondering if it's worth making a short video about them.

A nice laid-back video fixing a head torch for my brother Ralfy.
It was used in the rain and the mode select button subsequently failed.

Since releasing a video about these units a while ago, one of the most common questions I get asked about them is how to open them for repairs.
Here's a video showing how to open one, and...

This is an unusual thing. It's a well engineered prototype of a cockroach zapper that was specifically designed to inhibit their sensing ability, which would theoretically allow them to crawl back out of the unit, but limit their lifespan.
These things were called perpetual motion ornaments in the 1970's. They must have been one of the first electronic ornaments, with a single transistor to make them work.
They still sell them on eBay, and the circuitry is exactly the same, but with newer transistors.
It's never too early to start Xmas, and since it's going to be a thrifty one this year we can start it early with Poundland tat.

I know some of you hate these videos, but they're just a break from the technical stuff that seems to appeal to a wider audience.
This time it's a classic British snack - a Scotch Egg that is "getting it".

This eBay special is very cool. It's firmly in the category of an industrial module.
The video is currently uploading (if all goes to plan.)
I have to say that the build quality is pleasingly professional, and even the transformer looks good quality, with what appears...

The acoustic foam had the unexpected effect of negating most of the treble and accentuating my boomy voice. That's not so good for people listening on mobile devices as they tend to be less bass-capable.
2020-10-05 01:32:37 +0000 UTC View PostI'll be experimenting with the new setup in the livestream area. The bass is definitely dominating the audio, so I'll either add an external microphone or add a deflector to the existing one. A test deflector seemed to work better than the improvised PCB one used during the livestream...

This was long overdue. The original power supply cables were quite thin and had very loose feeling plugs on the end. By making a new set the same length, but with thicker cable and better connectors it will result in much lower voltage drop, giving more accurate voltage and current in...

Elon Musk recently announced a new patent and research on a new manufacturing technique for lithium cells that could result in more rugged cells with higher current capability and ruggedness. I thought I'd speculate on what they might be doing.
This is one of "those" videos.
Excessive, but justifiable smut and a layer of electrical danger.
