In our factory we had a monthly delivery from Germany, the truck arrived at the loading bay and we'd hear "Achtung, dieses Fahrzeug fährt rückwärts", which roughly"translates" in Scottish factory slang as"Achtung, these fart heads fart backwards!", I've always wondered if the English announcements have alternate meanings in other countries 🎉🎉
I never heard a speaking reverse "beeper". Maybe it has a dip switch for different languages? 🙂 Do you know the concept of "misheard lyrics" in songs? Same as you describe here... I know some english songs that sound funny in german speaking areas. 🙂
@@PlaywithJunk you can search for "this vehicle is reversing" there's a few examples. Misheard lyrics, there's been a few I've heard, I seem to remember an English guy, Peter Kay, did an entertaining take on the subject 😁
I was expecting a teardown to reveal its fire sensing technology. The old style detector with a bit of radioactivity was actually a Swiss invention. Australia has now banned them and requires detectors with a smoke chamber where LED pulses measure visible obstructions. This is fine for plastic fires with black smoke but pure timber fires that kill occupants with carbon monoxide I have grave doubts that such new sensors will be saving lifes.
The LED detectors do not detect obstructions. They sense the scattering of light that occurrs when anything gehts into the light path. White smoke or even steam will be detected easily. Just think of a laser show at a concert. The laser beam is only visible when there is some smoke or fog in the air.
