@BruceAWilliamson Год назад

Years ago (2000 or so) the production manager at a company I worked at decided to purchase the wireless ESD straps. The straps were supposed to be used in conjunction with a sort of humidifier. I, being in engineering, researched the device and found several articles about how they were a scam. I became unpopular with production since they had to add grounding to all of the benches use in production.

@seraphina985 Год назад

Word of warning that Japanese strap there appears to actually be a negative ion bracelet. The powder in these items is typically Thorium Oxide which is mildly radioactive. Most of the decay will be alpha and beta radiation so relatively harmless from outside the body. Continued wear is still not recommended however especially when the dust particles are visible like that, they will easily be dislodged through wear or any form of damage and then there is a risk of inhaling them. You do not want to ingest this stuff as if it gets stuck in your body somewhere, which is almost guaranteed if it enters the lungs, it will result in chronic radiation damage to the surrounding tissue.

@BDtetra Год назад

yeah i was gonna say that, its suppose to be a "negative ion" bracelet thing, not for anti static. Don't get me wrong its bullshit either way.

@Lizlodude Год назад

@xXYannuschXx Год назад

This comment should be higher up. I BET this is one of those bracelets.

@Mandragara Год назад

@@BDtetra I think a radioactive bracelet would be a bit of an antistatic though right? The radiation leaving is charged, so as long as you are charged the same way statically your total charge should decrease. Just I doubt measurably

@radicalleftovers1016 Год назад

I used to work in an injection molding factory and sometimes we would transfer the reworked pellets from a large hopper to a large metal bin. The process tobs of those little pellets moving through the metal built up a DANGEROUS static electric charge. Everyone makes the mistake once of casually touching the bin without being grounded. It's super painful. You see a flash, your ears ring and pop, you even taste it momentarily. Static electricity can be pretty gnarly if it's able to build a huge charge. It's just that normal everyday activity never yields such potential.

Nice job Linus, there is possibly thoria dust (thorium oxide, radioactive alpha emitter, you can touch it but don't breathe it) all over the shop now. Those silicone "health bracelets" with mysterious powder in them... often actually have THAT in them in addition to the potential glitter. This was supposedly Japanese and not Chinese so it's slightly less likely, but you might want to break out the Geiger counter just in case.

@the_undead Год назад

I highly doubt there's thorium dioxide in these bracelets as that is added two bracelets for health products cams and the people who would be doing those kinds of scams would probably go nowhere near the electronics industry because they know nothing about it. Also thorium dioxide isn't exactly cheap, so it's only added if they think it will have any chance of increasing the sale rate of a product.

@tvbluesun1254 Год назад

The Japanese info card at 24:42 says 'Emits negative ions from the entire band. Works well on stiff necks.' with a diagram of it supposedly heating up someone's neck. So it was meant to emit something at least. The Japanese text was written with Chinese glyphs (负 instead of 負), and has typos suggesting a Japanese speaker never looked at it (チタソ＆グルマ, ィォン), so may well have come from China anyway.

Ah, was once involved in ESD protection of chips. We had rumours on the work floor. One was that there was a paper out there that showed that even if you did not connect the wriststrap to earth, it was still working. People just moved a lot less. Another one was that a small amount of alcohol in the blood reduces the energy in the zaps and therefore the damage they did. Maybe try that one next time? Cheers!

Long story short: A few years ago I got a little complacent when I was maintaining my Philp's stereo receiver unit. I disconnected a grounding wire, accidentally made contact with something, received a good shock, and fried the unit's computer resulting in minor issues with the display, programming, and slight issues when operating the CD player/changer. The reception/tunning of FM radio was unaffected.

as someone who uses van de graaf generators to teach children physics, watching linus hesitate to touch the bulb is hilarious

@SephBane Год назад

In middle school the teacher was using one to demonstrate and had a girl hold it. Everyone started poking and shocking her as she cried. All the needed to do was let go and it would have stopped. I don't think they were allowed to do that demo after that.

@noshotz5955 Год назад

I remember in one of my classes someone was touching one, and after a while vaguely pointed in the direction of some metal, and then there was a large enough electrical discharge that all the students were able to see the arc.

When I was a kid I've learned a hard way what an ESD does against electronics when I killed my first gaming console with it. I lived at the polar circuit, so having -40 degrees outside in winter was a norm and the air indoors during such times was so dry that you always had a charge on you. After that a standard ritual before touching any electronics or anything metallic was to come to a heating radiator and touch it with my warm socks. This way you don't feel pain, just see and hear a zapping lightning discharge. And then it was ok switching on the TV and console to play some Contra.

@lfaf9509 9 месяцев назад

The only way I could think of for a ESD strap to work without a wire, is if it had the ability to store electricity, such as maybe a battery. It would have to be done in such a way that the static electricity that you build up on your body, would be used the charge the battery. Though to stop the battery from becoming over charged, you would have to give it work to do, such as powering a light or something. The battery would obviously need to be rechargeable.. I haven't put any more thought into than that honestly, but its the only way I have thought of to make it work.. The idea seems good, but it might take a bit more knowledge than I have on the topic to make it actually happen.

@@samim.Ali. put through hole pcb assembly. You know……. The stuff on a pcb board that has to be put through a hole and soldered, Eg capacitors, resistors, diodes, certain IC chips , transmission crystals, chokes , I/O sockets, pots mod controllers ect……… common basic knowledge in electronics would teach you what PTH assembly is. Say you buy a raspberry pi Pico and want to mount it to a breadboard, you’d have to solder pins to it. To do this you would put the “pins through the hole” and solder it to the copper pad etched out on the pcb. In large numbers you’d run it over a wave solder machine. Pcb’s that mix surface mount electronics and PTH electronics have to have a team soldering in the PTH parts by hand

Mehdi is one of my favorite people of all time. I started watching his goofy videos to watch him shock himself of course, but over time I grew to realize he's actually a genius when it comes to electrical engineering. He shocks himself to teach others about how electricity works and spark their interest in the field (pun intended.) Amazing guy, thanks for the interest in electrical engineering you've given me and for all the laughs along the way Mr. Sadaghdar. And thanks for shocking Linus.

My uncle is an electrical engineer. So I was raised never knowing if the the box or lighter or pen or just about anything else was charged to shock me. He loved to hear the grand-kids squeal. So I have a bit of a tolerance for shocks. That and the shag carpet in my grandparents house had us grand-kids chasing each other trying to zap. It was a step up from my dad and his brothers shooting each other with pellet guns. "FOR SCIENCE!"

@TehPwnerer Год назад

There is a sort of way to wirelessly electrostatic discharge, using a very pointy spike and ideally a lot of them. Spikes concentrate the electric field and electrons will flow off of the tips or into them as needed so you would be "grounded" to the atmospheric electric field so depending on how high from the ground you are and how far away you are from ground wires will determine how high above ground potential you'll still be. Assuming you are within 1 meter of a ground wire or the ground itself, you should be less than 150 volts above ground wish will prevent electrostatic discharge as that requires thousands of volts.
