Inside an automatic pencil sharpener.

Another spontaneous video recorded during a brief moment of peace at work. This pink(ish) pencil sharpener was given to me by Matt. I went as far as I could, but couldn't find a slim enough screwdriver to access the two final screws. The base reveals most of the science though, just a motor and two switches. One as a cover safety interlock and one to activate the motor when a pencil is inserted.

I’ve used Boraxo, pumice hand cleaners,dish soap, dirt, sand, brake cleaner and gasoline. Dirt and sand get some off but leave a lot on but I only do that to get excess off and The last two are obviously dangerous and they dry your hands pretty good.

@johnfrancisdoe1563 6 лет назад

Anthony Witham You can't safely compare Pantone(R) swathes to a video file. Best you can do is to turn off local color correction, screenshot the video and read out the decoded RGB value (the YUV value in the file is usually buried in DRM hell). Once you have the numeric value, there are tables mapping Pantone ink colors to sRGB screen colors. The only time direct screen to swath compares are good is when calibrating a monitor + graphics card combo for best color reproduction on a graphics workstation in a specific ambient light environment.

The electric sharpener I have is only a single one but the safety button that prevents it from going off with a finger (or supposedly does) is right underneath the sharpener. That said, though, it's still possible to press it by pushing down on the plastic around the rim of the hole. x.x

I get a lot from Japan as well. The Japanese more often leave behind their wireless charging docks. UK and EU leave laptop power supplies and phone chargers and cables. Just go around to the hotels twice a year and ask to empty their lost and found of anything older than 90 days. They oblige just to get rid of it all so they don't have to. Most is junk but I always find useful stuff.
