My name is Anthony and I'm an Electromechanical Engineer. My channel is about Rapid Prototyping, Engineering Projects, Science Experiments, Microcontrollers and more!
At the 1990, a comercial versión of that was in the market. It' s called Magic Wire and have a battery and a beeper connected to the wire bobine and to the tip , for to test if the conection are OK.
You showed that press brake with inserted steel plate - that's a neat concept, filling with something stronger in compression than pla. Maybe fill it with concrete and thin 3mm iron rods??
Guys like you amaze me. I worked in radio for many years and got friendly with a lot of techs and the best bit of advice I ever got when I was asking a lot of questions was, "You don't have to know how it works quite often, but you have to know it's NOT working." He was talking of IC's and the like. Classic answer I thought.
Can I build one that is windowsized , because every year some garbage cans outside attract flies and when they get in to my house there is a certain window that allways seems to attract them, like 95% of bugs go to that window, and the other 5 I miss when hunting also fly over there, so if I have a permanent zapper, that is as big as the window there is no way they will miss it, it would save me a lot of bughunts
Your ability to teach is amazing! I came here to learn about the bug zapper and ended up learning way more ....almost to the point that I forgot all about the bug zapper, lol. I do have a question I was hoping you or someone could help answer: • 7:03 I understand the purpose of the bleed resistor, but doesn't that also mean it will constantly be trying to drain the capacitor, thus making it inefficient?
I have a HV Probe and matching VOM (RCA late 1960's vintage looks just like yours). I know it works on DC I have measured many times 2-3kv level sources. What about AC? It's odd that it could not be used for ac.
Hey are you just using Shoulder Bolts through those bearings, and housing those bearings in oversized laser cut housings held with retaining compound adhesive?
Can anyone help me if this is helpful for a lone learner ? I don’t have access to other students or groups to do group work . Can I still learn from this book ?
That would be a good way to blow a fuse with that coil. It would have to have a much higher number of turns and at 60Hz to not blow a fuse and it would be a very inefficient induction system. Same reason regular AC transformers get warm. The higher the frequency, the faster the heating occurs in the target material.
It definitly would help a lot if you could go through in detail the linking up of the riorand, microcontroller and receiver please if you have some time 😉
