A closer look at my high voltage demonstration

[@nickmason6656]

I'm kinda amazed the sem manufacturer was so willing to work with you to build this device.

[@ChrisG0]

Probably his connections in China.

[@jfieqj]

Having an in with an SEM manufacturer is definitely my kind of clout.

[@SpaceWithSam]

Wow! This was brilliant, always a joy to see explaining stuff with clarity that makes me attentive, great job!

[@Sukrim]

When I saw the acrylic case, I initially thought you'll hook up a compressor/vacuum pump to simulate various sea levels.

[@KonradTheWizzard]

...like the sea level on Earth, the sea level on Venus (that one is tricky!), the one on Tau Ceti b, ....? SCNR. I assume you meant various air pressure levels or altitudes? Yeah, that was my first thought too.

[@Sukrim]

​@@KonradTheWizzard Technically there are also multiple sea levels on Earth, depending on jurisdiction. Also practically, since tides exist. But yeah, I of course meant altitudes, thanks for the correction. ;-)

[@MarcoTedaldi]

@@Sukrim the stuff with the different sea level definitions bit the people when they constructed a bridge between Switzerland and Germany... I'm sure you can find articles about that incident.

[@littlejason99]

I miss the videos of Scotty going through the markets in China and seeing all that eye candy, but these are just as entertaining and informative! Thank you!

[@robertdicken5439]

Great to see you so relaxed, thank you.

[@Viniter]

The main channel video was great, but I'm all about these implementation details! :D

[@erlendse]

Your fear of high voltage have made the build really sane! Even the "crudeness" looks professional to me. I figured out you had some help, since very few DIY guides actually leads to regulated output voltage/current. The schematics floating around the net mostly push as much power as doable into a arc.

[@RandomBogey]

I made the “two hand” mistake while working with the internals from a hand held bug zapper that I’d modified and pretty damn sure my heart skipped a beat...

[@ChrisG0]

Whoa 😳

[@RandomBogey]

@@ChrisG0 Yeah, scary shit…

[@SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

technically it probably added a beat.

[@JensSi]

And when you hold it like this, that's when your heart skips, skips a beat.

[@KJohansson]

Or as when I leaned on the fender of a car and pulled out a sparkplug.. ouch!

[@danielwcrompton]

I went to one of the world's largest testing facilities for high voltage/amperage in the world, as soon as they needed to manipulate anything powered on at any Amp or Volt they use rubber gloves, similar to long sleeved washing up gloves. Any really high voltage, like the generator with monitors which powered our device, was in a sealed room. With even higher voltage causing they pumped the testing chamber full of gas which breaks arcs, I needed to sit through a training video before I was even allowed on-site

[@Cameron_the_Robot]

I am just so happy you are back!

Nice, enjoying the extra info. Keep it up!

[@madeintexas3d442]

I need a hex set like you have.

[@strangerparts]

Yeah, I felt like it was overkill when I bought it - I use it all. the. time. Probably one of the most used sets of tools in my shop. Mine is a cheap set from Harbor Freight: www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/wrenches/hex-wrenches/sae-metric-t-handle-ball-end-hex-key-set-18-pc-63167.html

[@Albatross-365]

Great that the manufacturer helped. Are they gonna work on a version of the microscope that'll work at altitude?

[@dani-qd6km]

now i wanna use this for my school project but i have too much respect for this man to copy without credit lmfao

[@rklauco]

Seriously - far better content than walking through factory - and don't get me wrong, I thought even that one was amazing. You've stepped up the game just because you wanted to do a video on iPhone chip details :D Perfect - life changes things, this time in far better way!

[@XLessThanZ]

What make/model of smartphone were you recording with?...🤔curious🤔

[@MoracuKSK]

have you thought about placing the electrodes in a pressurized chamber, in which the pressure can be increased or decreased

[@strangerparts]

Yeah, this is typically how this type of experiment is done. However, A) I don't have a pressure chamber B) It would have been much harder to film it in action and C) I thought it was cooler to do high voltage experiments in the middle of nowhere 😁

[@nobodyinteresting9967]

@@strangerparts but is it really so hard to build a pressure camber the pressure difference between sea-level and 2000m elevation is not that much with a semi tight vessel and a big enough compressor that should not be a big problem.

[@MoracuKSK]

@@strangerparts If the temperature or humidity is changed, would it be possible to appreciate a change in the distance of the electrodes?

[@strangerparts]

Yes! We actually played with a humidifier, which definitely helped. But it made it look like the SEM was smoking, which isn't a great look.

[@chattphotos]

Calling @electroboom

[@isminivermekistemeyenmahmut]

I wonder what you gonna do with that hv source what are the usage areas of this thing

[@dominikworkshop6007]

That's cool! But is there a way to see how the high voltage generator is built?? Is there a schematic for this thing?

[@echopeus22]

couldn't you coat the parts in a nano coating to prevent discharge?

[@rolfathan]

Could you not wear a thick rubber glove on one hand? I feel like I would forget why I had my hand in my pocket. Haha

[@judgeomega]

that reminds me of a time when the police stopped me one cold winter day and ordered me to take my hands out of my pockets. and as they started asking questions, i instinctively put my hands back in my pockets... not once... not twice... but three separate times. it was unconscious behavior i had no conscious awareness of.

[@Account1746]

Look at this graph

[@RC-1290]

5:50 "some sort of proprietary interface here". Isn't that a DA-15 connector?

[@TioDave]

If your scanning electron scope is arcing at higher altitudes. What's to keep from this arcing somewhere other than where you intended as you go to higher altitude? Also couldn't you simulate different altitudes in a vacuum chamber.

[@wonitkorea]

I made 1000th Like! nice

[@nelsongaldeman]

Who is "they" Scotty? I'm missing something 😂

[@littlejackalo5326]

Have you talked about why & how you randomly decided to move into a native American pueblo? It seems like a very strange thing to do, and I can't figure out why you did it. Someone else said in the comments it was because of CoV, but that sounds like nonsense because there's no logical exclamation for that reasoning.

[@colinstu]

Never seen a motorcycle use those batteries. More like UPS and security systems etc.

[@eideticex]

Pretty much anywhere you need a small 12 or 24V battery backup. Very reliable batteries, so few people understand how to actually charge the damn things.

[@simonmerrett]

Hey Scotty, I mainly watch for the technical stuff but I listened to Big Clive on The Amp Hour recently and am so glad you are doing "just you to a phone, informally". That's what YT is all about and I really hope it helps you keep in touch with the enjoyment of making videos.

[@vilks_jan]

Hey Scotty, I think you should include a link to this video in your main video. Of course, subscription and recommendations are working OK, but perhaps it would help more with the discovery of these secondary videos. Anyways great work!

[@mikaelfaazeli]

Be safe bro 🤞 love from iran ❤ And make more videos plz always happy to see you ❤🌹❤

[@nobodyinteresting9967]

Why don't you put the whole scope in a pressure chamber the pressure you would have to reach is not that high.

[@pdxnate3314]

Where you been, bud? We miss ya!
