I've had acids that can absolutely wreak havoc on anything...... Even some fairly resilient ferritic stainless alloys. Even when you think it's stored properly..... I cannot tell you the nightmares I've had in my shop and lab back before I knew better. A precision machine shop is not the place you want to have corrosion fumes wafting through the air. Literally overnight rust within the matter of a few hours on EVERYTHING. I thought I was going to puke when I realized what happened

I've never used acids to remove the package. But I have used an engraving laser to vaporize the package off a few nanos per pass until the silicon is exposed. When done carefully, it even exposes intact contents of NVRAM cells. I think these bits could be optically scanned and their data digitally reconstructed (with better equipment than I have, lol). The method might be useful for forensic data recovery from failed flash drives.

Fun stuff. Uncle Sam had needs back in the day to discard a bunch of IRFNA. This was handled in tank truck sized loads. The first contractor spilled some out of the tank truck. It set the asphalt parking area on fire, the truck tires burned, then all hell broke loose. We were contractor #2 and we had concrete parking areas and Uncle Sugar liked that. We had a different approach to the problem and worked out a good method to getter done without getting dead. I had three tiny holes in my protective gear. I still have three small scars from wearing that gear while I sample the red stuff.

@@RECESSIMA Bridgeport knee mill or just “Bridgeport” will be something to do exactly what you want to do. Think of it as a really badass drill press. These mills have been around for a long ass time and are available in analog or CNC versions (analog can be upgraded to CNC if needed) and are capable of doing just about any sort of milling or machining work imaginable. There are tons of different tool pieces and accessories out there for them but to just pop the caps and lids off of electronics parts I would say you wouldn’t need much variety in tooling bits. One useful bit would be an end mill. End mill bits are a multi fluted bit with a flat end on it designed for precise, flat material removal. The end mill bits come in sizes as small as 0.005” and as large as 1.25” diameter so if you decided that the end mill bit was a good choice it is available in a wide range of sizes. Thanks for all the awesome content! I hadn’t been in your channel for a little while and all the sudden found your “Dr. Frankenstein” deep dive home rev-engineering lab. Within 20 seconds or so of the footage rolling I noticed that I left my jaw on the floor and needed it put back where it belongs. Lol Keep it up bro! You’re inspiring me to dig into some refrigeration controllers and boards I have with every new video you put out. Doubtful I would need to go to the extent of acid burning caps off of SOC’s or anything like that as most of the interesting stuff looks to have JTAG pads. The main controller boards normally use RS-485 MODBUS or RS-232 network communication to other remote mounted I/O boards, etc. Anyway, keep it up and keep it safe! We need more videos showing successful experiments from your garage lab!! 👍

@@RECESSIM hells ya! I’m sure for certain “targets” (victims) it might be beneficial to use the mill vs the acid technique. I will admit tho, the acid technique is one wicked way of getting someone’s attention, it’s pretty eye catching. I found out after digging into the video and noticing the increase in production quality that you have really been working dialing that in. Well at least thats my opinion. I noticed right away that you have been refining and tweaking things for the better (I enjoyed older video releases too so don’t get me wrong). So ya, I don’t mind trying to help someone out by posting up pointers or tips to make things better if I know something that can actually help.

Isn't it funny how the older meters were so reliable? When's the last time you heard someone complaining that their power metre failed and needed to be replaced? I wonder what's the oldest meter that is still in service today? It just goes to show that it's totally possible to make a product that will be reliable and do whatever it's supposed to do extremely well, especially when it benefits them! I have never heard of a power metre failure!

The meter in my house (in the garage) is original when the house was built in 1960. The reason why the meter is inside the garage is because there was an addition next to the garage in 1966. Works perfectly- refused smartmeter & pay x-tra every month not to have a smartmeter.

I am disappointed that the smart meter does not have a better standby battery. Inherent problems with a battery can easily be envisioned. He is surely a better lawyer than me, and his legal opinion clearly states that he has the right to confiscate data being transmitted by any smart meter. What he does with that information might be another can of worms. I respect his technical abilities and his media skills. Scary stuff with background music. Municipal water services use radio-meters also. Surely if you flush a toilet this man can detect it. Some people might be disturbed by this intrusive technology while sporting a smart phone in their pocket.

2 questions: a) how does one typically clean the inside surfaces of those globe shaped glass flasks? to insure they are completely clean for next use? b) one moment of your video showed a rigid small diameter metallic probe bent at 90 degrees at the end to act as a 'long distance probe'. Might you have the formal name of those probes and how they are mounted? As that type of rig could be helpful for me to supply power to small boards in a hands off manner. But I dont know what to search for... Thanks. And for your attention to detail. ps - final question... where do you think these 'receivers' are to capture the rf output of the meters? Do you feel with the current roll out phase of these they are supposed to all be read in real time? Or more so, when a vehicle drives by to get readings from the meters? Its just an interesting thing to know...
@RECESSIM
@RECESSIM 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment, happy to answer your questions. 1. Cleaning the inside of a boiling flask (globe shaped ones) depends on what was inside. Generally some other liquid is heated inside like an acid to dissolve material and then rinsed with water. I am not an expert in this though, so I would watch other videos or read some chemistry material. 2a. The probe came with my hot plate, called a "PT1000 external temperature probe" but external temp probe or thermocouple probe is what you want. The mount I used isn't a formal mount for them, I just rigged something up. 2b. What I rigged up made use of a machinist tool, on Amazon you could search for "Noga DG61003 Regular Duty Dial Gage Holder Mag Base w/Metal Fine Adjust" but the articulating arm is the important part. A similar thing is used for holding lights in video work, called a "Adjustable Magic Arm." 3a. The receivers in the case of Landis+Gyr GridStream meters are installed on power poles, they are called Collectors and you can in another video of mine where I take one apart. 3b. The power meters in my area are read every 15 minutes fully automated, no one drives around. In some areas depending on the meters used a truck drives around once a month to gather data. The water meters I have in my area are like that, a truck drives around my neighborhood slowly once a month with an antenna on it collecting data.

Its been a few years since ive priced HNO3, but the price for fuming nitric acid around 90% concentration should be at least half what was shown here. That's still pricey and why many chemists make their own, but that's a crazy mark up. So the price tells me that its risen recently across the whole market, and that particular suppier probably prefers to deal with bulk orders for industrial applications. Plus very few chem suppliers even list SO3 as a product let alone a suggested item, so i think you this place had soecial pricing.

I was thinking to tell the installer, that if i find a signal higher than 3g, I'm putting a cage around the box, as it's in the main room of the house. Even 3g might be concerning, especially if it's going to be on constantly, like a digital trip wire...

Did you try the method of de-capping that Curiousmarc posted a while ago? You just heat the chip until the epoxy gets soft, then you use 2 pliers and bend the chip, and the die comes out of the epoxy - no acid required, and a lot cleaner overall.

Yea, I like this method because the part will still function afterwards. But if all you want to do is look at the silicon, heating it is a great way. Takes a bit of practice and an open space for the epoxy fumes.

@@RECESSIM Yeah, heating and bending isn't going to preserve the bond wires, but if you're just looking for ID marks on the silicon, it's a quick mess free way to go. Heat also doesn't work too good on ceramic packages 😛. I've been meaning to try the heat and bend method on any old chips I have laying around - especially large chips like chipsets on old motherboards. I imagine the chance of cracking the die goes up significantly as the die size gets bigger, and in that case, it'd be back to nitric acid again

Did they eliminate the acid sellers to cut back on those acid attacks out in Asia? I thought I recalled hearing about that in the past.

a llittle dissapointed that the chip whisperer or other non destructive tools for hardware analysis (forgot the name of recent logic analyer style toy that probes all pins and logs data from all at once to determine likely usage of each, and references database to give probable chip).. that should be used before decapping weren't mentioned
@RECESSIM
@RECESSIM 9 ай бұрын
I was already 99% sure this was some kind of analog chip so I went the decapping route. Generally though I experiment in random directions. I might decap at the same time as trying a chipwhisperer on an unknown part just to see what ideas I might get along the way. Thanks for commenting!
