Professional haze machine circuit exploration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This video is an exploration of the circuitry used in many professional haze and fog machines used in the event industry. Notably the Haze Base, Unique Solutions machines. These machines share a common base control system, but differ in physical appearance. By understanding the circuitry it will help with fault diagnostics and identifying if a PCB needs replaced. The most common problems with these machines are pump failure, heater blockage and moisture issues on the control PCB. But relative to
Inside a cheap but impressive laser cube (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These things are very widely available, which is a slight issue, as in the wrong hands they can pose a risk of permanent eye damage. This device should not be aimed at people's eyes and should NEVER be given to a kid as a toy. The circuitry is notable for the way the microcontroller is powered via its own regulator, and then turns on the rest of the circuitry by enabling another adjustable regulator set to 3.1V. That has two advantages. It greatly reduces standby current by disabling most of the

Another gadget-blitz of technical goodies from AliExpress for us to explore. These videos are not sponsored by AliExpress. I buy all these items myself. Here are some links to the items. These are affiliate links, but that will not affect the price you pay. Keep in mind that these products may not meet your country's standards. Some listings may not work for some countries and some may just be sold out or disappear. When paying on AliExpress, let the transaction complete before leaving the purch
Total teardown of a common solenoid valve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've actually made a video about this type of solenoid actuated valve before, but it's always good to have a revisit for those who may not have stumbled across the older video. This is a very common valve sold on the usual online marketplaces. It seems quite well made, but as always, you should use one from a prominent local supplier for any critical applications where failure could cause flooding or other adverse scenarios. But for experiments and prototyping, this valve will probably be perfec
Russian Fakita bug repelling device (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It turns out that Russia does have a huge mosquito problem in some parts. I didn't know that. This unit is basically a self regulating pad based insecticide vapouriser. It takes standard pads that are preloaded with a pyrethrin oil. When the unit is active it heats the pad to slowly release a small quantity of vapour that affects the nervous system of insects and inhibits their normal behaviour including biting. Pyrethrins are based on a natural plant extract from a species of chrysanthemum that
