    Vacuum Drying And Making Stuff Hot In A Vacuum (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After previously exploring the impact of vapor pressure on the drying of desiccant and more, the conclusion was essentially that in order to drive moisture that’s not directly on a material’s surface out of it, you pretty much have to heat up said material to make the process not take forever. Of course, we’d still want to retain the vacuum while doing said heating, which raises the question of how you best heat something that is inside a vacuum. Fortunately, this is a solved problem, with comme

    Apple Finally Made AirPods Repairable… Sort Of (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s been true for a while now that Apple’s AirPods have been effectively disposable, with [iFixit] slapping each successive generation with an abysmal 0/10 repairability score. The moment that any of the built-in batteries faltered you could effectively toss the whole package out as e-waste. Interestingly, with the fifth generation it would seem that a battery swap in the earbuds is now actually possible without whole-scale destruction, according to the [iFixit] teardown video. Although it’s st

    Assembling And Testing A DIY Jet Turbine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After many months of painstaking work, [AlfMart CNC Garage] over at YouTube has finally reached the stage where he can fully assemble his DIY jet turbine and commence testing. Even if deceptively simple devices, just the starting mechanism turned out to be a challenge. Due to the extreme conditions that these jet turbines operate under, tolerances are narrow, and many of the materials require careful selecting and testing. Fortunately this is not true for the outer casing, which is cobbled toget

    Designing A Fully 3D-Printed Mechanical Calculator (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Even if almost tragically impractical in a world where digital calculators are cheap as chips, mechanical calculators and their big mechanical computer brethren remain an absolute marvel of engineering. Using nothing but elements like simple gears their motion is used to calculate everything from a simple multiplication to the proper targeting instructions for an Iowa-class battleship’s guns. This fascination, along with the mind-bendingly high prices for commercial digital calculators led [3D a

    Testing Coulomb’s Law And Similar Fundamentals Yourself Remains Tricky (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    How easy is it to build a simple demonstration at home that proves fundamental law of physics, such as Coulomb’s inverse square law, or Maxwell’s equations? This is one of those questions that always nagged at [Casual Physics Enjoyer] as they sought to find ways to develop a more intuitive understanding of these fundamentals with simple DIY-at-home experiments. Unfortunately this turned out to be rather tricky for Coulomb’s law. Us H. sapiens – courtesy of a few bright individuals – have figured
