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.

@@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.

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!

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.

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...
@RECESSIM2 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.

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.
