In this Short, I’ll show you how to receive weather satellite images from the American NOAA weather satellites yourself. 📡✨ What You Need: A simple antenna, like the V-Dipole shown here, and a Software Defined Receiver. Position the antenna to have a clear view of the sky. Open SDRSharp and set the frequency to 137.62 MHz - that's the frequency of NOAA 15. The free software WXtoIMG is used to d...

In this short I am showing that some old dinnerware is radioactive. Commonly known back in the day under the brand name Fiestaware, these plates contain traces of uranium compounds. The beautiful orange color of the glaze is due to those radioactive uranium compounds.

    Great video. I'm interested in replicating your power supply for use in an electrospinning device that requires between 10 - 30 kV. However, most commercial power supplies (such as the SKE EF020) limit current to around < 1 mA. Is it possible to reduce the current in your design whilst maintaining high voltage?

    • @BalticLab
      @BalticLab 11 днів тому

      You can limit the current to 1 mA by adding a current limiting resistor in series. Just make sure its appropriately rated for the voltage and the dissipated power.

    Those bubbles slow down the etching a lot. If an aquarium air pump is added to mix the etchant the process takes minutes. I've built a flat tank from acrylic for this purpose, it reduces the amount of liquid needed and placed the outlet of the air compressor at the bottom. The liquid gets stirred extremely well.

  • @murad19882003

    Nice setup, these Chinese laser tubes are cheap but dangerous due to their highvoltage wiring and safetyless HV power supply. 30kV with no proper HV shielded cable and a return path to the power supply housing is a deadly combination. Water ports are fragile. Life time is abit over 1 year then to the trash. Beam has usually side lobes and not pure gaussian, so this thing good for average quality production in job shops.

    Very interesting video! Not sure if this would be something you are interested in or have the time for but I would really appreciate much simpler and in detail versions of these videos. An "explain me like I'm five" version so to speak. Questions to answer could be: What actually is a LNB? What does it do? How does a horn antenna/waveguide work? How does the amplification work? And how does the signal look like that is being amplified? What does K-Band mean? There are a lot of channels explaining the basics of electronics but I think application-oriented explanations would make these theoretical lessons much more interesting. I know your channel is probably for viewers with more knowledge about electronics. So it's just a suggestion :)

    • @BalticLab

      Actually a great idea. With the depth and complexity of RF I will have to think about how to best do that, whether it's gonna be a 1 hour video or 10 segmented videos. Maybe a combination, a teardown vid followed by derrivatives of interesting features in the design.

    Are the 38khz sidebands AM modulated? (prior to FM modulation of the whole signal for transmission) If so, that's kind of funny that FM stereo contains an AM component.

    • @BalticLab
      @BalticLab 2 місяці тому

      It's double sideband modulation for the 38 kHz subcarrier. This modulation type stacking actually happens a lot. FM subcarrier modulated onto an AM signal is used in aviation VOR stations for instance.
