You do mention elevator mechanics quite alot, but it's fine, it's definitely a job that has its ups and downs 😁😁
they promise you the elevator and give you the shaft.
@@zindi1138 You both are on fire, I better take the stairs!
I strongly dislike you
We could also mention "easy entry" to the industry?
Or
"Potential to progress to new levels within the company"?
Anyone finding this annoying, I'm sorry if I pushed your buttons.
(OK, I'm leaving .... I won't even bother getting my coat.....)
@@hellfireenclave Who pressed your buttons? 😄
When soldering lots of pin headers like this, a quick way is to use a multi-way socket strip so you can just plug them on & off, and do a row at a time.
Big Clive has no time for sensible answers like that 😂😂 Plus we would only get a 5min vid 😁😁
I would have thought it was easier to just plug the resistors into a connector or a suitable length of nichrome wire (in place of resistors).
Such short bits of nichrome would pass way to much current, I think?
Clive did do a separate video on this prop where he goes through several options.
@@rimmersbryggeri Problem is you need to spot weld the connections, as you cannot solder nichrome with standard solders.
@@SeanBZA Yeah I didn't research the material properly before posting the comment. I thoguht you would just stuff the wire into the connector though so soldering wouldnt be a problem the nichromes properties in itseld would be though.
On the topic of safety bypasses, my first real job was loading stitcher hoppers at a printer/bindery. One fine evening the chugging beast of a stitcher decided to eat 1/10th of a cubic meter of glossy paper, requiring manual removal of the offending dead trees. I turned the safety key to the 'no zippy-zap chuggy-chug' position before getting arm deep in the human meat mincer and spent the next 15 minutes ruining the calibration by yanking ruined product and stapling wire out of the mechanisms. Moments after removing my hands from the death zone I heard the whir of the machine spinning up and marveled as the stitcher began to operate with the access panel open (safety #2 is a switch actuated by the door itself) and the power supposedly off. Turns out the mechanic in charge had entirely bypassed that particular safety key AND the safety switch on the door. Because of one asinine time-saving workaround I came within a second and a half of being called stumpy for the rest of my life at the ripe old age of 19. Screw that guy.
Also, the safety stop for the trimming head (which weighs roughly a ton, give or take a few stone) was a 4"X4" lumber offcut because the braking mechanism had failed some years earlier. Very professional operation, that was. Double bonus points for one of the printers getting his left hand quarter-folded because they'd also disabled the safety on the access panel on that machine. You never forget the screams of a man who has been quarter-folded.
remind me of working in an engine shop. one time i was using a big horizontal grinder on some engine head. i see a small halogen lamp hanging from wires close to the metalwork. i laugh about it to some other guy and tell him the power must be off anyway (the light was off) as i twist the bulb around. then a big spark happen and the wires start to burn inside the metal flex tube and everything. i laughed as i walked away watching the whole machine start to smoke.
@@GeneCash In this case the only person with the authority to push the start button was the shift supervisor (the person who bypassed the safeties), and the lockout wiring was behind a locked panel that only he, the opposing shift supervisor, and the main office had keys for (to prevent anyone from disabling it, presumably). It was a bad situation overall. They ended up getting sued several times and were eventually legally forced into hiring an independent safety consultant due to being partially funded by the municipality, as their main business was printing the local newspaper. Not sure what happened to the person at fault for these incidents, but sometimes when the moon is at just the right level of twinkle I like to imagine that he fell into a sewer access due to an unmarked removed manhole cover and was never seen again.
@@stevemcqueen8584 You're good at holding a grudge! ;)
@@Seegalgalguntijak Indeed I am. Please stop reading now if you're the sensitive sort.
It's been around 20 years since this happened, but when you see the aftermath of a person's hand being turned into a bloody wrinkled flesh-balloon due to the worst kind of active negligence it leaves a permanent impression. The warehouse had a 10m ceiling and they had to rent an extended lift to swab the blood off of it, as the high RPM alignment rollers that fed the quarter-folder were set into a frame that was open on the top and bottom for servicing purposes. The injured party required amputation below the wrist, as the rollers pulped the bones and shredded the blood vessels and connective tissues in his hand beyond the limits of surgical repair before the automatic emergency stop engaged.
That was not the first or last serious incident in that facility as a result of poor safety culture, lack of training and proper equipment maintenance, and a general disregard for sanity. It wasn't uncommon to spend the majority of a 12 hour shift sweeping the floor due to mechanical failure of at least one section of the production chain, and most of the injury accidents were the result of that single employee relying on half-arsed workarounds to bodge everything into a semblance of functionality as he was the only person qualified (on paper) to service the machines. The managerial staff also holds a significant portion of the blame, as multiple near misses and minor injury accidents were reported to both HR and middle management, but never properly addressed. I should have reported it to provincial OHS, but I was young and stupid and didn't realize the seriousness or future implications at the time.
If you do stupid things that endanger other people to expedite your daily grind you should be remembered decades later for your ineptitude. That man's laziness had a terrible cost and if karma were a real thing falling into a sewer would be a fairly lenient compensation.
My brother aged 15, standing in an oil tank with a mop, wiping the sides down with a bit of hosepipe in his mouth going to the outside so he could breathe, Work experience apparently. my dad was not impressed, and went and had some words with the bloke that put him in the tank in the first place.
(4:37) "That is not lead vapor, Karens" made me chuckle.
As if heavy metals just float in vapor. 🤣
Yes, as if the melting point of something was also the exact same temperature point at which it also becomes a gas…
The bonnet is a hood in USA.
After teaching mechanics for almost 12 years, I very much doubt many will be able to make modifications to electronic controllers other than swap in a complete replacement unit.
Majority wanted to plug in a scanner to even the most basic 12v electrical systems and were often totally dismayed when told to use meter to check resistances or volt drop
That creates a gap for Eric O of SMA to do proper wiring repairs. The computer tells you that there is a fault, but not whether it is a faulty switch or ground, or relay or fuse.
Most car makers have gone to almost repair-proof construction along with Apple et. al.).
Not that new a thing- I remember having to remove one front wheel of a 70s Pontiac to get to a couple of spark plugs. (At least I didn't have to pull the engine.)
It's what these wannabe car mechanics saw growing up with swap-out-the-boards-until-it-works electronics so they expect cars to be the same.
Eventually it will be.
EDIT: Dammit Clive, you've got me doing it.
I thought you meant like /the hood/, I was like ok, this is new information
Haha I love how the Kink Palculator says an edited _"Sassy Squad"_ with an 'i'.
I remember building a break-away table for a production of “Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe”, and that was a pain to design and build.
Turns out that I built it so well (with 2x4s and 3/4 ply) that it was more sturdy than any other table the scene shop had, so after the show they fixed the hinged part to make it the new super-rock solid scene shop table.
The Lion, The Witch and the well made Table.
How amazingly ironic!
Ha! I did melt wax to have wilting leaves for Swan Lake. Ummm... worked great in rehearsal, worked out the timing for the cue etc. Didn't account for the heat from two full houses making the wax melt early; the leaves dropped about 30 seconds too early during the second session, looked weird with dancers and music being out of sync. Just looked like the prop tree broke lol. I should have just made it pretty instantaneous, but I was worried about LD leaving switch on for too long and starting fire.
That's when you use a capacitor to power the heating resistor. The capacitor being charged by a small resistor. That way if they leave the switch on, only a small amount of current is flowing. When they first push the switch, a large current flows from the capacitor, quickly melting the wax.
You going to show us a video of that component machine? It sounds really really interesting.
Loving the rants. You've earnt the right with all the shit you've had to put up with from big corparations. :)
Dont know why it is so relaxing to watch a "ranting" boy from Isle of Man while he is fiddling with stuff ... However, worked out great. Cheers.
He's from the isle of man? I thought he was scottish?
@@oldtechnobodycaresabout He lives at the Isle of Man. But grown up in Scotland .
Fun Fact: Clive was the lead elevator prop maker on set for ” The Big Bang Theory “
No, I don't think so, Clive is actually funny. Clive doesn't need a laugh track.
You mean the permanently broken one?
A real geek wouldn't live in that building more than a Month without fixing the elevator
@@theotherwalt they don’t use a laugh track in that show, it’s in front of an audience. Same as Friends was. They just use the laughing from the first take and then edit it into the take they use in the show.
Not gonna lie, I'd be tempted to wire up some exceedingly fine wire to a very large photo flash power supply to see if I could make DIY exploding bridgewires. Surely I'd be sacked after the first show, but my god what a show it'd be!
Calling out Karen's at 04:40. Bridge burning was hilarious! You're a proper classy act Clive. I bloody love it.
I just love these videos. Just put them on in the background for cleaning or working. The streams are also great for this. Thanks, Clive
I’ve only had one encounter with an elevator repair man, but it left me having tremendous respect for the profession. I was helping a friend move a church pew up to a 12th floor apartment. My friend swore the pew would fit into the elevator, which it didn’t do. Said repair man happened to be in the building at the time and suggested that we take the pew up in top of the elevator car. I got to ride up with the pew to keep it out of the cables. It left me smiling for days because it was good fun and it kept us from having to hump the pew up 12 stories on the stairs.
Didn't it have the "Coffin" door? in the back of the lift a panel can open so you can fit a coffin in, should the worst happen. I had fell out with the woman I would love forever (when you're 19 that's every girlfriend) and I left her place and got in the lift, it had the somber swines with a coffin with the clotch over it, with the top coffin hatch open. so the coffin was upright, when the lift stopped you heard "Mr corpsy" thump against the coffin lid. I was not happy that night.
@@blackcountryme kreepy... and awwkerrd...
Honestly the flux vapor is a lot more irritating than lead.
Y'know, until the cumulative brain damage finally sets in.
Have a friend waft the fumes away with a Papa Johns pizza menu, always works for me. 👍
Rant away. It's when you have a new boss that doesn't understand what he's gained, mainly building based mbile techs who then moans that we're not in the office, then moans when none of the work gets done because he wants in the office. He was moved on quickly when someone - not in our section - offered to break both his legs.
👍 for your description of service trades. People look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them I'm in the car for 10 hours or more, driving 500 miles (~800 km) or more, every week, since about 2005. Last week I drove 1500 miles (~2400 km), though thankfully I had a company car for that run. If the worst thing you have to complain about is your commute... 🤷♂ That's what podcasts are for.
Locksmith pinning tweezers might be useful for holding those resistors in place. (They're made for picking up lock pins, which aren't that much smaller than those resistors.)
The are tweezers for electronics industry, including special ones for handling ESD sensitive devices (not that such are required in this case). I handle 1x0.5mm components with these, barely...
Clive is from the lost era where fingers were made with asbestos
HMM, could you use a surface mount resistor across the connectors pins instead of the 1/8 watt conventional?
Came here to make the same comment but you beat me to it. I wonder if he simply doesn't have a stash of SMD components.
@@Okurka. Well, size 1206 fits perfectly on top of the pins. Done it before, just tried it again. Most 1206 resistors are reted for 250 mW, some even for 500 mW.
@@Okurka. O.K., right. Might depend on the construction. I tried it with both a 330 Ohm and a 200 Ohm 1206 resistor at 12V, a piece of paper and the usual paraffin/stearin candle wax. The 330 Ohm one was too slow, the 200 Ohm one worked quite well, the paper petals fell down after about 5 seconds.. The resistors also stick to the wax very well. After some minutes, they get up to about 175 °C, so I would not recommend to leave them powered on for too long.
@@ksjhi PTCs would probably be ideal, very fast warm up and self limiting.
@@NiHaoMike64 Thank you, PTCs are a great idea. If I would really need to make such a prop as shown Clive's video, I would try SMD PTCs. Unfortunately, all PTCs I currently have as SMD components are polyfuses. But they might also work for this application. The datasheet specifies up to 125 °C surface temperature in the tripped state. But the lowest rated 1206s I have at hand need at least 350 mA to trip.
Couldn't you have formed the resistors and put them directly into the female connector like you do with led leads.? Well I guess soldering to the male connector is a little more professional however. Either way it got us a 20+ min Clive video so I'm not upset. Thanks Big Clive.
Clive I'm gutted that you didn't show us the resistor Gatling gun in action!
It's too big to fit under the camera in the normal location.
Canadians tend to use British terms and spellings - except for automotive things. Probably the proximity to the USA and the overlap of the industry: lots of Canadian factories building cars for both countries, historically. So the big more-than-auto department store is Canadian Tire rather than Tyre, and cars have hoods and trunks rather than bonnets and boots.
Canada-built cars are usually more reliable than US-built, too.
Hi Clive. A build video PLUS a Question and Answer session combined? NOT boring! You should consider doing more of them and longer ones. Will you be demonstrating the completed build? Yes I know the prototype was demonstrated, but the final version - as a reliability test? - would be nice.
There’s no way garages are going to allow technicians to play around with electric vehicles any more than the manufacturers recommend. The problems with liability will be too great.
Maybe not officially, but you know mechanics are going to explore a little bit on their own. There's always the "it was already broken when I found it" line just in case. (worked at an auto dealership and witnessed some unbelievable activities)
Have been missing a while Clive. Good to be back. Such a soothing voice.
@ 19:03 made me imagine a flabby pink rubber horse in a roadside ditch being "rescued" by a group of men in hi-vis on a rainy November day 🤣
My mind's eye can't unsee that now...
A vibrating pink rubber horse.
When do you start using one of those pelletier effect electric cooler to make a fine cold beverage ? Perhaps then use a Sodastream to make it bubbly ? Electricity and beverages experiment all in one!!
The ever Tempting *Clive & Ralfy Hour.* - tho the recipe for 'bubbling' may not be Ralfy's forte', no harm in trying.
I was also expecting mini molex plugs with a resistor stuffed in the end. You could have just used one of the deadly toadstool lights... you would have been done in 15 minutes :p
Immediately brought back in my mind to an ancient episode of Who’s Line Is It Anyway (UK, of course) and a game of props, when someone holds up a mask made of bubblewrap and exclaims in exasperation “Look… Either The BBC believes in Doctor Who, or…"
Clive, please, next time, just create a temporary jig, using small scrap wood pieces, hot-glue and some silicone-sleeved clips. And to hold the connector, you use a contra-connector on a short solid-core wire. This footery was painful to watch, but still very entertaining.
As a confirmed Fran devotee I'm with you both on healthy cynicism over technology. There appears to be a generation of forceful people pushing technologies, ideas and principles who seem never to have heard the old adage "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!". YT comments is in fact pretty much the closest I get to social media nowadays,.
I have had the flouriscine dye injected into my veins for eye tests a few times. It can make you feel a little odd. And afterwards when you urinate, your pee is bright yellow in an odd way. The same stuff is used in spirit levels.
Why are the resistors perpendicular to the plug when they could be parallel to the plug making them much easier to bend and hold???
I don't consider myself to be a writing implement snob by any means, but your comment about the particular favourite pen resonated with me, as usually I'm perfectly happy using a BIC when at work/college, but at home I have a really nice ball point pen, it's one of these generic freebie ones that's branded by a company for promotional purposes, but it's entirely made of metal and takes a standard Parker cartridge/nib module, I've had it for probably 10-15 years! It's probably the most comfortable pen I've ever used as it's quite thick and fits my big hands/strange writing style very well. For applications that don't demand a pen (forms, docs etc) I much prefer writing with pencil, and I have a very nice Cross mechanical pencil that I've probably also had for over a decade! It takes 0.8mm lead.
Probably the best Q and A ever! Oh and what you call a boot we call a hood. Thanks for the great videos!!!
Show. Us. The. Gatling. Machine! Please :)
Elevator service is interesting, because you can have, in the same building, a lift which is all microprocessor controlled MRL, with the machine room being the top and bottom of the car, and right next to it is another lift made by the same company. That unit though has the most complex electronic part being a set of selenium rectifiers, that provide the juicy DC power for the controls, with the rest being a combination of paper wound relays, oil filled capacitors, that predate the era of PCB oil filling in capacitors, and massive power resistors with adjustable taps, for controlling things like time delays, motor start and the such.
But both have a current certificate of fitness, and are legal to operate, even if the one was made 2 centuries ago. You will also have a set of service books for each, with details from the original install, including every single test and service that has been performed on that unit since it was new, each written by the technician who did it. Might be a dozen books for the old unit, but each is traceable to the original documents, including the lift ropes, with the copy of the test certificate for that batch of wire per rope, and with a full history as well.
The main difference being that the old lift will outlast the new lift in the same way it outlived the previous two.
@8:48 It's almost the same as Formula 1 mechanics and what they go through.
Because each F1 car is dismantled, inspected between each race and equipped a certain way for certain tracks, i.e. different gear ratios for short tracks vs long tracks, it essentially means every time they race, they drive a newer, improved version of the previous car, and that every single car is a working _prototype._
Activists: "Nobody is coming for your children!"
Gay choir: "WE'LL CONVERT YOUR CHILDREN! But this is just "SATIRE!"!!!!!""
Disney: "We opposed the parental rights bill because lies and clap pride flags on all of our merch, including children's merchandise".
Everybody who has any awareness: "This is getting a little suspicious... at best."
Omg I was tearing up xD "Oops, that was a rant..." and then 15 seconds later! xD
This seems like the perfect project for your teensy tiny T-1000 or whatever USB iron. Tiny tip, low heat capacity, but you're just soldering tiny little wires together!
I know you're already done with the job, and it was a one off thing, but if ya ever end up doing that again, try making your secondary bends, then tin BOTH leads, THEN fold them in, tin both leads of the connector, and then it's just a process of reflowing it all together!! 😅👍🤘
How about putting the resistor in one clip and the connector in another clip, then bringing them together? You could solder them without having to hold them.
I usually make a wood jig using tongue depressors, Popsicle sticks and CA glue if I have to make a bunch of parts. Clive is a bit wild in that he can both hold the parts and feed solder with one hand.
@@frankhage1734 Right hand holds the soldering iron, left hand becomes two mini pincers. Thumb and forefinger hold the important part (sometimes multiple parts), the ring and little finger feed in the solder. It's a skill that comes with practice but is invaluable. It may be old school, but once you've cracked it then it's faster than making a jig and is a tool that's always available.
@@georgeprout42 The problem with hand held is the high chance of moving the parts as the solder solidifies. Even though Clive is a master puppeteer of parts, he has the same problems. He's just smart enough to quickly recognize the failure and re-flow.
If only the BBC were as good as paying contractors as they are demanding money with menaces ( whether you need a license or not).
At least they use recycled paper which is better for lighting the fire than some of the other rubbish that comes though my letter box...
My kid comes home from school and asks me “what does BBC mean?” I said British Broadcasting Corporation. My eyes shift left to right.
Coming from school, we all know what it is referring to 😏
Tell him if he says "BBC" 3 times in a mirror, Saville will appear.
Or Katie Price, depending on what BBC you're referring to.
Goodness gracious Clive. 272-watt Beauty-and-the-Beast petals, and you made a whole bunch! I don't think you can fit the entire venue in the explosion containment pie dish. Certainly might be the most exciting rendition I've ever seen...
Now to add to the confusion, the new EV's with no ICE have a "frunk" (front-trunk). So in proper UK fashion you will now have a "froot" to boot.😜🤣😂
You should have been an elevator mechanic. That job takes you straight to the top if you do it right.
You get to bypass any glass cielings however if you fuck up you might get shafted.
The job has its ups and downs.
'You touched it therefore it's your fault' is something that is common to my line of work as well. Seems to be a general culture these days. If a colleague of mine fucks up someone's money record and I make an entry without correcting and reporting it, someone will blame me when the mistake comes to light. I feel a rant coming on as well, actually.
Every mechanic that worked in the shop I ran hated working on electrical systems. For complicated diagnosis, we called in an electrical/AC specialist.
Now you look at South Main Auto and it seems most of the problems ARE the electrical systems.
All elevators at the BBC are cancelled. The only way up in the organisation is transphobia.
2021, the year when clive realize helping hand has two hands :D
You've got way more experience doing this intricate stuff than I do, but I would have used your spare alligator clip (yeah..I'm from the USA) to grab the body of the resistor and use its 'arm' to put a slight pressure on the leads that you want to solder.
Fran? I can remember her wondering why her new 3D printer requires a connection to their cloud at all times for you to be able to print a thing.
Thanks Clive. I remember well the 2hrs drive to Harlow, working 7am - 6pm, then another 2 hrs drive home 7 days a week because my 'guvnor" wouldn't pay for local digs. Its also the reason I got out of the industry for 25 years! Crashing the van and getting a full on rant from the boss (just before I launched his drill and transformer towards his head) many have also helped me leave. 🤣🤣🤣
Did that for a short time, basically they assume you have no life of your own and when you burn out it's "on to the next sucker" and you're replaceable.
@@tncorgi92Your right. I realised that "your just a sparky and there's another just like you who doesn't mind the travelling" wasn't what I signed up for. At 22 social life is EVERYTHING! Money was nice though, I did (and do) miss that bit. 💰
That's why I left Hussmann. Interesting job, but ridiculous hours to the point I fell asleep at the wheel more than once and decided enough was enough.
Speaking of repetitive things, I'm currently filing down a piece of aluminium for an adaptor for a PC steering wheel setup so I can put a 2CV wheel on the thing in place of the silly boy-racer rally-style thing, cos I'm weird like that, and the filing is very boring, and repetitive, and made this video seem like it was only 5 minutes long... :P
The prop making side of film will always live in the shadows, seen as 'back room boys and girls'. Which section of the BBC did you work at? I was at the Engineering Department, Avenue House in Power Road, Chiswick on PCB production. It horrified me that even if the circuit board needed to be made was the size of a postage stamp cut from an A4 size copper clad fibreglass board, the rest of it was thrown away.
Lighting department.
Hood. We in America call the engine compartment lid a hood. 😋🇬🇧🇺🇲
I'd have used large surface mount resistors instead of bending all the leads.
I would skip the soldering and plug the resistors directly into the female connectors.
I spent years breathing solder fumes in a poorly ventilated shop and I'm
You're 50% flux?
I'm surprised that just bending the resistor legs like a vertical mount one (remember that?) and plugging the legs directly into the socket wouldn't work. Good memory of the resistor leg bender machine; used to use a manual one with the handle you turn, years ago.
Nocturnal tumescence 👀
I'm currently working on an awful control panel at the moment thats been modified by a lunatic, anyway the last person there put a relay in with the wrong coil voltage and that of course stopped it working and now I'm trying to solve another issue with a level control. system, which is float less
Dirty sensor electrodes? Or an ultrasonic sensor?
Always happy to hear a rant about the bastard who bypasses the safety interlock for 'convenience', leading to some poor tiff losing a hand.
Clive was getting very pissed in this video.😂
The queen mom won't be happy, you trashing the BBC LOL
I know that you're probably finished with all this by the time you read this, but here's an idea for next time. Leave out the all the plastic bits and plug the resistor straight into the connectors you crimped onto the wire. Then put a small sliver of card stock between the connectors to insulate them and hold it all together with a short piece of Green heat shrink tube.
A career as an elevator mechanic has its ups and downs!
Wow the rants from "Dark Lord Clive" are my new favorite thing
This was enjoyable. I liked the mini-rants, livestream Clive crossing over into video Clive
Oh dear, when I saw this, I had to try what I would do to make those plug-in resistors with the material I had at hand. I tried a small piece of phenolic 2.54mm stripboard, soldered a 1206 SMD resistor and an angled KF2510 through-hole connector across two adjacent strips. This proved to be so much easier (and faster). It would also work with a straight KF2510 connector soldered SMD style on top of the two copper strips.
Plus 1 for "f*ck Disney".
@bigclive .. did you take into account temperature generated by stage lights if the rose is encased into a transparent container (glass)?
Yes.
I particularly enjoyed repairs where no testing had taken place after a component had been replaced and then you come along hours (even days) later, turn the power on and there’s a big bang just an hour before production starts. Happy days.
I remember that happening when a sticky roller was replaced on a 30+ feet long conveyor belt in my old job. Within an hour, the new roller melted and almost caused a fire.
@@jimmyrustler8983 We had a funny one where contractors had worked on several power presses, carrying out motor and cable checks. When some of the gear started running it was going backwards. There was some head scratching going on until we worked out what was happening!
I thought a Bonnet was a hat worn by women... and why would you put one on a car... :-/
@Matt Quinn I'd rather be seen with a hood on rather than wearing a bonnet...LOL
1 Could you have used the other clip to hold on to the diode?
2 Are you going to have a circuit board to control when a specific pedal falls off?
3 Will we see the play?
4 Would insert plugs have been easier and faster?
I think it may be remotely controlled. I'm not sure where the play will happen.
I've said it before, but fingers of asbestos! How can you get living flesh so close to a soldering iron? They literally melt metal! Even if it's a eutectic alloy of a very low-melting metal it's still bloody hot! Either Clive's some sort of Terminator, which would be cool, or else his hands are just vestigial dead flesh. The smell as he toasts them must be horrific.
He could tell you, but he'd have to kill you.

It is great and comforting how your length of solder takes on that knotted look exactly like mine does as the project progresses, after starting out very orderly.
15:25, people bypassing safety circuits on factory machines..
Morning crew figured out how to bypass a bypass switch in order to avoid getting written up for not doing their job. Basically, this switch disables the door safeties to satisfy production while also leaving the e-stop entirely functional, but to actuate the switch, they need to check out a key, so, the person now responsible for the machine will get written up if they don't affect a repair the next time first shift production goes on break (a repair consists of figuring out which switch is bad and replacing it, it's literally as easy as it sounds). Instead, they jump the bypass and bypass the safeties while also bypassing the e-stop just so they can leave it for the next guy (short version: they run a permanent signal to the safety relay coil to skip a faulty safety switch, which is not difficult to find and if you know which of the two circuits is faulty). Now, if I was level 5 or higher (I'm presently level 3), I would be allowed a multimeter and I would be allowed to dick with the wires in order to pull off a repair (which should take, at maximum, 10 minutes). Like, I have the schematics memorized at this point, but I can't do anything until the weekend when I can call the guy who built the safer bypass system over to have a go at it (he also memorized the schematics and has sort of been making a point to get me up to speed on the whole shebang).
It only really pisses me off because the people on morning shift who do that shit are master electricians and have been working with the machines in this factory for no less than 4 years. Granted, I have had this tendency to binge watch bigclivedotcom for the last 6 years, but that's aside from the point.
Also Thyssenkrupp built a great big test tower in Germany and had the presence of mind to put an observation deck on the top.
A car bonnet in the US is called a hood, but yeah most things are located near enough exactly the same locations on a car regardless of make, and model. most of the cars are repetative as well, it is rare for you to find a fault that hasn't been found yet. Personally I think it is going to be more I.T. technicians in the future with cars rather than a garage, like my local garage now say most of the time to book with an electronics engineer for repairing a fault. as cars are so much electrical now. unless it is mechanical fault they won't touch it. even if you suspect a switch is faulty they won't touch it.
With how fiddly this is I suspect it might have been easier to use surface mount chip resistors here. 0805 resistors are just short enough you could insert them between the pins and have one metallized end butting right against each pin.
I opened up a device and found a low voltage power supply module in it. I saw the failure described a few videos ago where the switchmode transformer melted its resin out. I had not seen it before so it was quite timely. There was a large quantity of unpleasant stuff oozed out. The power supply not only took in mains power to make lower voltage but then also took in mains power again as a reference into the same transformer. It was used in a fancy power bar that gave voltage and amperage on a display at the same time as smoothing the power. I will try poking at it until I fix it or see metal converted into light.
"metal converted into light"
now this is the intelligent commentary I look for here
@@dimitar4y You are welcome! It is also a great way to start your day. Screw a morning run. Just tap something you swear was shut off. :p
"That's a bit sploshy, that, that's-- One of the things, when you don't use the flux, you get spikes in the software-- Eh, software?! Spikes in the software?! The spikes in the solder! Which is similar to software, it's not really similar to software, god I have drunk so much wine." 😂
Get it out Clive - rant away. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
These videos are a perfect salve for after those particularly abrasive days where you come home chuffed. This is Anti-Chuff™
Gotta love English where chuffed can mean both "very happy" and "very angry"...
You wernt shy about your FABULOUS PINK NUMBER CREATING BOX, were you ? lol
Those "Helping Hands" are very cheap, arnt they? I bought mine from CPC years ago. It supprised me as it was a couple of quid, madness,lol. I fitted larger croc. clips so i can hold small pcb's.
As my instructor used to say! "Up there for dancing, , down there for thinking?" Or summit like that,lol.
Wait.... I thought only normal cars go boingy-boingy....Mazdas go hummmmmmm, though. Now I'm learning switches go boingy-boingy too. 😳
Prescribing and Administration System as per standard procedure by the requesting clinician.
Dose
Age Dose of
Fluorescein Injection
for oral administration
Volume required if

Injection
> 18 years old 1 g 5 ml 10 ml
< 18 years old 7.5 mg/kg 0.0375 ml/kg 0.075 ml/kg
As contact with Fluorescein Sodium can stain skin and clothing, it would be advisable to
wear gloves and apron before preparing the dose
Draw up the required dose in an oral syringe and administer in water/iced (or very cold)
orange or apple drink. This can be further washed down with additional fluid to clear the taste
NB:
Fluorescein 20% injection is 1000 mg in 5ml
Fluorescein 10% injection is 500 mg in 5 ml
Patient will then have the ocular imaging over 1 - 30 minutes period to gain relevant diagnostic
data.
Patient should be monitored throughout the procedure for any adverse effects (mild transient
gastric discomfort or minimal nausea have been reported a few minutes after ingestion of the
dye)
Could the BBC be described as "scunner"...from a half Scottish half Greek, Greenwich born South East London LALALA (Dad never used the term but he was from Pitlochry and refused to acknowledge WeeGee, 👉💎👈Glaswegian)
Such a shame about the BBC's recent deep dive into bigotry...
Oh well!
Glad you're here regardless 😊
Lol when someone says BBC in US It means something different 😂
Recent? They've been the driving arm of hatred and division since their inception.
It's all propaganda, made to divide the populace, so we don't all focus on the REAL problems...
While working in Ireland the BBC showed pictures which were basically a one-shot guide to making a very dangerous pipe b*mb. They should NOT have been showing those pictures.
@@bigclivedotcom Sounds about right...
They'll have the Teletubbies showing our kids how to freebase crack next. 🙄
I guess I've always hoped there was at least some attempt at not being awful, at the BBC, having friends who used to work there, but that bubble was burst for me entirely with the recent anti-trans stuff - as if there's not a news story against us, or a legal challenge to reverse our rights almost weekly already, now it's simply status quo that we're fair game in the majority of the MSM and Offcom are going to be led by a DM tabloid hack. Fml
"mild profanities", next minute…..”f**k Disney”. 🤣🤣🤣

"For rescue practice" (Phew!)
I don't f*ckin blame her, Zoom is awful beyond... how could anyone... I mean... Its worst than Teams and that's a clusterf*ck! I used Zoom once, it created a window, which it itself then complained about the position of, drove my CPU and GPU up to 100% until the integrated GPU overheated and just died in the middle of a call, luckily the laptop had a second GPU but that then resulted in my entire screen resolution and sizing changing mid presentation at which point I had to duck out, reboot and then spend an hour bringing the GPU it cooked back to life.
More Q&A's please I really like them, helps me do exactly what you are doing (well almost) I can get on with building something ,whilst listening to "Story time with Clive" Keep up the great work, You are a RUclips tinkerer/Maker mascot ;-)
Clive, why don't you just plug thr resistors into the socket.
The wax will keep the resistor in the socket, one lead of the resistor folded down the body of it, cutting both lega off to fit into the socket.
Like how the upright resistors are fitted into a pcb.
Just an idear it might work and save buying plugs and maybe save time?
I used to visit ATT (Mar Bell)
In Malmabury for BSI they made telecomms power supply's they had automatic equipment that would take components off the manufacturers bandages and put them on another for the automatic component placing machine to place them into a bare pcb.
It was a facinating machine.
Thanks for the video.
