Your comment did not do the statement justice. I read it before the video, then listened while driving home. Glad the Clive's statement came up at a stop-light, as there would've been trouble after I rolled out of the moving car laughing.
"If the babies get a shock, it serves them right!" I can see that on the back of a t-shirt, with the Big Clive logo on the front where little t-shirt logos go.
@@juncusbufonius As a toddler in the 60's I stuck my baby folk in a two prong socket, it didn't do the fork much good I seem to remember, but I have been interested in electronics ever since.
As a child I used to "mess with electricity" and had quite a few shocks, now 76, have I learnt, well sort of but still get the odd one. Great listening to you Clive, you are my go to RUclips relaxer, and information about electronics provider.
They carefully restrict such special materials to special government projects. Though they might be arrogant enough to use other radioactive substances in public use products similar to how some western countries used radium for self-illuminating watch dials. Similar arrogance made them ignore the specific technical dangers that led to the Nedelin and Chernobyl incidents.
@Alex Sickshow The item in the video was titled by Big Clive and he admitted the typo. This thread is about a joke that a real Russian device would use radioactive polonium instead of electricity.
Sewing pins anneal/lose their hardness if you give them a couple of seconds in e.g. a cigarette lighter flame and let them cool. Makes them much easier to cut without wrecking sidecutters.
Otherwise you can use some pliers and just bend them to break at the marked point - you can actually do that pretty accurately. I've personally done that when repairing one of those little egg piercers with the bit of needle sticking out.
@@MeatLeBeef - that works to part it, but it can leave a little kink, or sometimes a split in the metal (so it's bifurcated), which wouldn't fit into the type of IC socket that Clive's using.
@@jkobain It's one thing to do it neglegently like that, but where's the charm? Making the gap betweek the two plates just the right size for baby fingers is the only thing I'd change.
"Standard" sewing pins and needles are generally regular steel plated with chromium or nickel, in my experience. They're somewhat resistant to rusting unless the coating is broken. If there's, say, a scratch, and the item is in a damp environment, you get rapid corrosion at the scratch. The entire plated area acts as a cathode, and the exposed steel is an anode; there's an electrochemical effect. You can test this by nicking a pin or a needle with a file, and placing it on a bit of tissue that's been dampened with salty water. If the pin or needle hasn't been plated at all, but is entirely non-stainless steel, doing that will tend to show corrosion preferentially where the metal has been most mechanically disturbed, i.e. the pin heads and points. The metal crystals there are most distorted from their lowest energy states, so it's energetically favourable for those atoms to escape in preference to atoms in other parts of the items. Stainless pins and needles *are* findable, but I've found that many that are labelled/advertised as "stainless" are in fact just regular plated steel. The sellers are counting on people not bothering to check, or not finding it worth the trouble of complaining. The reason for using stainless, of course, is that one wouldn't get corrosion even if the surface *is* scratched.
@@alexmarshall4331 When I was in grad school at university, I taught first-year chemistry labs for a number of years. One of the last sets of experiments for the year was a module on corrosion, which was pretty cool if one paid attention. It involved bits of information from four or five labs the students had done previously, though that wasn't obvious. And unfortunately the lab manual didn't highlight that, and its explanations were pretty poor in general. (Sometimes, even some of my grad-student colleagues couldn't figure out what the manual was trying to explain, and I had to help *them* so they could teach *their* students.) Once a chemistry teacher always a chemistry teacher... :-)

As a child I loved touching our ioniser, watching the arc jumping to my finger was fascinating. My lesson came later in life, accidentally touching the ac socket of an unplugged audio amplifier. It's not the kind of thing you want to feel twice.
Worth adding solder to create a smooth ball or a dome over where you cropped the needle holders on the back, all sharp points are ' Point Emitters ' and this might effect the efficiency, it certainly does in sensitive High Voltage equipment used in the Analytical Science world and the ' Balling ' of high voltage solder joints is a must....cheers.

One good use for this build, IMO, could be, an "antistatic" Ion generator similar to a "Zerostat" antistatic gun, for use in cleaning Vinyl albums when cleaning before playing. The "official" Zerostat gun is now $181 USD at Fischer Scientific, I'm lucky to have an original that is about 40 years old now. I'm sure your build is MUCH cheaper than that, and also put it into a handheld project box with a momentary contact push button to power it as you hold it over an albums surface while on the platter, then dusting with your favorite cleaning brush.
@@bigclivedotcom After examination, you are correct. I guess the next step in your build , as a modification, could be to alternate the ionic charge somehow.👍
The baby shocking part brought back memories of my eldest son who had a habit of turning on the bedroom light at night when he was younger, so we removed the bulb in an attempt to stop him. which led to him flipping the switch then climbing onto the top bunk to investigate why the light wasn’t on and promptly poking his finger into the live light socket.

I have always been jealous of your manual dexterity when soldering. I try holding the board and solder in one hand and the iron in the other when nobody is looking, but considering how much trouble I have running the torch, pedal, and filler when TIG welding, I have low hopes that I'll manage to get it right. 😕
Clive, you should have paneled them by stamp hole/mouse bites, that way you would got both boards on one order. The round corners require a gap between the boards so that rules out panel by V groove. You could also have added boarders for the order number to go on, or indicated on the pcb where you want the order number put, put exactly this text where you want the order number to go "JLCJLCJLCJLC".
they usually add paneling fees if they see sections of the order not connected by copper at all, so more often than not cheaper to order two designs than to panel them in my experience
Thanks to Clive, I just bought an 'industrial' ozone generator that produces 6000 mg/hr ozone using a replaceable ceramic generator plate. I have a couple places that need a serious cleansing of mold odors and for $60, I couldn't imagine a better solution. The plate has an avg life of 40,000 hrs, and has a timer.
UPDATE: Holy crap- this unit produces an insane amount of ozone! A few seconds and it starts to irritate your throat. The ceramic plate looks to be about 2x4 cm and the entire surface glows. It comes with a door hanger that says, "DO NOT ENTER! Ozone sanitation in progress!" I can't wait to take it apart to see what-all is inside! I got this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAP7388/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Clive, you should do a video one one of these- it is an ozone monster!!
UPDATE 2: Just took the lid off. It has a monoblock power supply driving the ceramic plate that has long thin conductors plated onto it. The fan is grounded, too. The ceramic plate generator is attached to a fairly large heatsink. Not much to see in terms of components but the construction is certainly robust!
I ran what is probably the same unit in a stinky old car for half an hour. You could smell ozone for days afterward, even after leaving the doors open for a couple of hours.
Its kinda a luck of the draw thing if they upcharge you because there "separate boards", the best bet is leave then connected then when you get them cut it with a band saw.
Friend Clive, I have no intention of building this thing, but I had to pause the video to say, "Please don't correct the spelling!" Or, at the very least, offer it as alternative version. That is just too good and it fits so well.
Quick tip: If you add “JLCJLCJLCJLC” anywhere on the silkscreen layer, JLC PCB will automatically place the order number there. I generally place mine under a large component like a connector so it’s hidden when the board is assembled.
I just had to laugh out loud. I opened this video in a new tab to "watch after my 8 other tabs are done watching" and paused the video so it can load properly. Usually I have Spotify in the background to listen to some music. Did some work, put on my headphones and pressed "Play" on my keyboard because I wanted to listen to my Weekly Playlist in Spotify. "Grrreeting Comrades" is all I heard with clives lovely voice. That was unexpected. My PC decided to resume playback from this video instead of my Spotify. I think I need this as a ringtone or as an oldschool startup-sound when I log in to my PC.
Photo catalytic conversion into ozone is preferred method while regulating out the nitrogen and other contaminants. Alternatively, I think the oxygen can be separated from water for a more pure oxygen content to charge into ozone. I also think you could ozonate the water for better result in electrolysis separation.
Remember the hat that the rookie guy wore on "Blue Thunder" with JAFO printed on it? Well we find out in the movie (spoiler alert for 30+ year old movie) that JAFO stands for "Just Another F---ing Observer". With this in mind I think Clive needs to get hats made for his merch with JAFOG printed on it - "Just Another F---ing Ozone Generator" :D That would be so cool on the Staturday livestreams :D
Mk.2 suggestion for those paranoid about lead: stainless steel washers as the grounding circles. Pros: improves serviceability, can be bought at most hardware stores Cons: people can now be paranoid about breathing in trace amounts of chromium
You could always get lead free solder.....and I love how the electric charge is sucking all of the particulate matter away from the detector over time.
The dust removal is due to the electrostatic precipitation effect. The needles charge the dust negative and it then promptly sticks to the positive electrode.
Your not the only one to misspell things on the silk screen, I've done it too. I always submit them too early, pretty much every time i spot something afterwards on the next day, I just add another to the order with the corrections if its bad enough, its only a few quid.
The big man from the Isle of Man does it again spicy voltages included !!!! I wish I could could give you more thumbs up but im not welsh :) Time for a wee dram to cellorbrate :) Thanks Clive.
I'd love to spend 10€ to buy the thing you just built, ready-made including a HV power supply, although I'd prefer one that runs on 5V USB power instead of 12V. Instead of having the PCBs printed and then having to scrounge screws, connectors, needles and stuff. I'd even love the spelling mistake, makes it soo original!
2:17 I have an easier way to get them out : Just cut the plastic, the pin will fall. If you use big snips, it'll break before you reach the metal itself. Btw these are called swiss machine pins.
Looks like it lower fine particulates as well as VOCs. I like that monitor, I need something like that, but I want one that can detect NOx. I do some precious metal refining and even with the fume hood I swear I can sometimes smell NOx, would be nice to know how much I'm getting exposed to.
I was wondering - do you think an ozone generator could be used to retrobrite in place of all those fluids? Toss in a pile of actual UV lights and just seal it all in a box. Thoughts?
Might be worth a try, although I would start with something of low value. Discoloration of plastics can be caused by the generation of conjugated double bonds (beta-carotene is a famous example of a highly colored compound with conjugated double bonds: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Carotene ). Ozone is particularly good at destroying double bonds (see ozonolysis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozonolysis ). However, if the double bonds are part of the plastic, then the ozone will be chopping up those polymer chains in the plastic, which may result in the plastic becoming weaker and more brittle, as with natural rubber.
I like a lot of project boards but find some of them don't have suitable enough or rigid housing and clunky massive project boxes are too big. A nice vacuformed cover for these type of projects would be massively welcome considering they are easy to make, remake and recycle too. A vacuformed cover with a beard on would be good! As for seeing soldering, it reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad would be repairing TVs, when we did things like that, and didn't just create e-waste or landfill a load of crap!
@@MadScienceWorkshoppe Just put a switch to run it when the lid is closed. Low power module will not make too much ozone, just enough to kill odour in the semi sealed bin. Open lid and it stops so baby does not get zapped pulling the bag out.
Be sure to get machine pins which have appropriately sized holes as there are quite a range of sizes. Most are intended for small IC legs, while others are large enough for DIL header pins.
I'm fairly sure those Knipex can handle much much thicker metal than that. It's only the smaller pressed ones that should not be used on that. Go and check on their website, e.g. a friend has a similar pair but with the fancy lever jaw mechanism thing, and they can cut through extremely thick, as in 3-4mm diameter, steel. Seriously look them up, you won't be afraid to baby them then.
Speaking of the Beh-beh's: I was raked over the coals by "friends" many years ago when they found out I had let both my boys (They were both toddlers) stick paperclips/utensil into the wall sockets. They each did it once. They learned. They are both very successful now. Coincidence? I think not!
It's indeed not a coincidence. My youngest son asked his mother when he was 13/14: "Mum, do we still use or need this lamp?". Five minutes later we heard a curse and the lights went out. He's a very intelligent and successful young man now.
As maybe a 10 year old kid plugging in Christmas lights I learned not to f*&k with electricity after getting quite a buzzy shock off them (no idea how it did this but the memory is a bit fuzzy). If I was going to mess with it, do so with insulation and a way to put out fires handy.
“If a baby gets a shock, it serves them right” when I was young i stuck my finger in a light socket when my mom told me not to. The shock served me right!😂
I just did it out of curiosity. I don't think i gained anything from it though. I could've just learned not to do it but thankfully nothing bad happened.
"If the babies get a shock, it serves them right" I forgot how much I love watching this channel
You can't give 2 thumbs up for a comment, so let this be the second thumbs up. Big Clive's baby remark made me belly laugh and needed to then rewind.
I did learn by getting 220V shock, as I remember when I was 8 years old, playing with the socket.
Best line of the year I'm pretty sure.
Harsh lessons hopefully come from low currents.
If you never get shocked, you'll always be curious about getting shocked, so, let it happen in non-lethal ways.
Followed later by "spicy voltages." Love it.

they usually add paneling fees if they see sections of the order not connected by copper at all, so more often than not cheaper to order two designs than to panel them in my experience
I didn't panelise them to get nice clean sides and allow the rounded corners. These were just prototypes.
@@notsonominal A way round that might be to run a small track through the mouse bite area.
Nice, straight forward design
Thanks to Clive, I just bought an 'industrial' ozone generator that produces 6000 mg/hr ozone using a replaceable ceramic generator plate. I have a couple places that need a serious cleansing of mold odors and for $60, I couldn't imagine a better solution. The plate has an avg life of 40,000 hrs, and has a timer.
UPDATE: Holy crap- this unit produces an insane amount of ozone! A few seconds and it starts to irritate your throat. The ceramic plate looks to be about 2x4 cm and the entire surface glows. It comes with a door hanger that says, "DO NOT ENTER! Ozone sanitation in progress!" I can't wait to take it apart to see what-all is inside!
I got this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAP7388/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Clive, you should do a video one one of these- it is an ozone monster!!
UPDATE 2: Just took the lid off. It has a monoblock power supply driving the ceramic plate that has long thin conductors plated onto it. The fan is grounded, too. The ceramic plate generator is attached to a fairly large heatsink. Not much to see in terms of components but the construction is certainly robust!
I ran what is probably the same unit in a stinky old car for half an hour. You could smell ozone for days afterward, even after leaving the doors open for a couple of hours.
@@LiLi-or2gm I looked at the module from a similar unit recently.
@@LiLi-or2gm At some point you may need to replace the power supply. They seem quite temperamental. But the case and basics are a good start.
The misspelling adds to its charm!
Oh, a jail-see-pee-see-bee factory picture as a jigsaw puzzle? How nice!
The perfect little gift to give your nephew and niece when you go visiting family. I'm sure it'll drag them away from their mobiles.
I got one myself the other week. I actually liked their keychain toys better 😶
Could the 2 circuit boards be combined in to one gerber file, joined with "mouse bites", to save on the production costs?
Its kinda a luck of the draw thing if they upcharge you because there "separate boards", the best bet is leave then connected then when you get them cut it with a band saw.
Yes Clive could have paneled them by mouse bites / stamp hole onto the 100mm x 100mm pcb
Friend Clive,
I have no intention of building this thing, but I had to pause the video to say, "Please don't correct the spelling!" Or, at the very least, offer it as alternative version. That is just too good and it fits so well.
The original file with spelling mistake is still available.
'I spelt it wrong'
you spelt it creatively.
so elegent ;-)
Quick tip: If you add “JLCJLCJLCJLC” anywhere on the silkscreen layer, JLC PCB will automatically place the order number there. I generally place mine under a large component like a connector so it’s hidden when the board is assembled.
I think you also have to specify it in the order. But it would make sense for them to do it automatically if they saw it.
Apparently, they call it «Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation».
всё верно, приятель :)
@@not_just_burnt we don't even know one another.
Actually, on their website it says quite literally: State Corporation of Atomic Energy... cringe.
Fun fact: The Ministry of Medium Machine Building was the Soviet Union’s euphemism for their nuclear industry.
The mispelled versions are going to be worth a fortune in a few years, don't throw them out!
I just had to laugh out loud.
I opened this video in a new tab to "watch after my 8 other tabs are done watching" and paused the video so it can load properly.
Usually I have Spotify in the background to listen to some music.
Did some work, put on my headphones and pressed "Play" on my keyboard because I wanted to listen to my Weekly Playlist in Spotify.
"Grrreeting Comrades" is all I heard with clives lovely voice. That was unexpected. My PC decided to resume playback from this video instead of my Spotify.
I think I need this as a ringtone or as an oldschool startup-sound when I log in to my PC.
Watching you soldering is like watching one of those stress relief videos. 😲
Photo catalytic conversion into ozone is preferred method while regulating out the nitrogen and other contaminants. Alternatively, I think the oxygen can be separated from water for a more pure oxygen content to charge into ozone. I also think you could ozonate the water for better result in electrolysis separation.
I've watched too much electroboom. I expected the worst when he picked up the unit when powered :)
Nice. Been thinking of getting myself one of those modules to try out, and building something like this seems like a cool project.
If the babies get a shock, it serves them right. Everybody gets the same chance to learn.
Remember the hat that the rookie guy wore on "Blue Thunder" with JAFO printed on it? Well we find out in the movie (spoiler alert for 30+ year old movie) that JAFO stands for "Just Another F---ing Observer". With this in mind I think Clive needs to get hats made for his merch with JAFOG printed on it - "Just Another F---ing Ozone Generator" :D
That would be so cool on the Staturday livestreams :D
Get that tiny jigsaw done on a live drinking stream
Mk.2 suggestion for those paranoid about lead: stainless steel washers as the grounding circles.
Pros: improves serviceability, can be bought at most hardware stores
Cons: people can now be paranoid about breathing in trace amounts of chromium
Just order the PCB with ENIG gold flash on it, will last about as well, so order a few extra.
You could always get lead free solder.....and I love how the electric charge is sucking all of the particulate matter away from the detector over time.
The dust removal is due to the electrostatic precipitation effect. The needles charge the dust negative and it then promptly sticks to the positive electrode.
Love the garage54 bmi Russian reference
All these letters got mixed up in my brane, and I was briefly impressed that you got your PCBs made at the Jet Propulsion Lab
Your not the only one to misspell things on the silk screen, I've done it too. I always submit them too early, pretty much every time i spot something afterwards on the next day, I just add another to the order with the corrections if its bad enough, its only a few quid.
Garage 54 ... always worth a watch, nice reference :D
I love it when you guys say "that one". Don't take offense, you should hear me speak. I think all languages and dielects are fascinating.
This looks fantastic Clive!
Give those lazy air molecules for what!
Much love Technical Family
Hearing Clive imitate Sean Connery made my day! Very funny Clive! You should be the next James Bond - "soda-streamed, not stirred!"
I laughed pretty good at the intro, long live Garage 54 comrade!
The big man from the Isle of Man does it again spicy voltages included !!!! I wish I could could give you more thumbs up but im not welsh :) Time for a wee dram to cellorbrate :) Thanks Clive.
Good to see you complying with right to repair Clive ;)
More like "right to make our own stuff".
Aww! No visualization of the airflow with smoke? I was so hoping!
I'd love to spend 10€ to buy the thing you just built, ready-made including a HV power supply, although I'd prefer one that runs on 5V USB power instead of 12V.
Instead of having the PCBs printed and then having to scrounge screws, connectors, needles and stuff. I'd even love the spelling mistake, makes it soo original!
Thanks Clive I will have to try this one out.
I'd do the corrections but also get 'previously known as the Atmoshperic Invigorator' screen printed elsewhere on the boards (for shits & giggles).
"It serves them right" What a great corporate slogan!
2:17 I have an easier way to get them out : Just cut the plastic, the pin will fall. If you use big snips, it'll break before you reach the metal itself.
Btw these are called swiss machine pins.
Looks like it lower fine particulates as well as VOCs. I like that monitor, I need something like that, but I want one that can detect NOx. I do some precious metal refining and even with the fume hood I swear I can sometimes smell NOx, would be nice to know how much I'm getting exposed to.
I was looking for comments on how the ioniser removed particles as it went along. Clive didn't mention that bit.
The 'ATMOSHPERE" must have been "dark and stormy" when that PCB was designed.....
Beefing up those pads with solder is one of the few times I might use lead free solder
I was wondering - do you think an ozone generator could be used to retrobrite in place of all those fluids? Toss in a pile of actual UV lights and just seal it all in a box. Thoughts?
Not sure. It's more likely to oxidize surfaces when concentrated.
No, the oxidation is likely to darken the surfaces more. It's the bleaching effect you're going for with 'retrobrite'.
Might be worth a try, although I would start with something of low value. Discoloration of plastics can be caused by the generation of conjugated double bonds (beta-carotene is a famous example of a highly colored compound with conjugated double bonds: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Carotene ). Ozone is particularly good at destroying double bonds (see ozonolysis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozonolysis ). However, if the double bonds are part of the plastic, then the ozone will be chopping up those polymer chains in the plastic, which may result in the plastic becoming weaker and more brittle, as with natural rubber.
@@tbelding Since they use hydrogen peroxide, I am pretty sure the oxidation reaction combined with the UV IS the bleaching reaction.
If baby gets a shock, he/she will become an electrician. The world needs more electricians.
That happens so often.
G'morning Clive and all TOVARISCH'S out there!!!
Ion thruster on, gamma rays on, yobba rays on :-)
Now a real man would have pushed those needles in with his thumb
I like a lot of project boards but find some of them don't have suitable enough or rigid housing and clunky massive project boxes are too big. A nice vacuformed cover for these type of projects would be massively welcome considering they are easy to make, remake and recycle too. A vacuformed cover with a beard on would be good!
As for seeing soldering, it reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad would be repairing TVs, when we did things like that, and didn't just create e-waste or landfill a load of crap!
Only change I would do is change the wording to "Ion Overthruster Technology". A nod to Buckaroo Banzai :)
I love this! Could create a little circuit to power on and off the ion generator intermittently, like the ionic fridge Twinkie. :D
The best approach is to have it run continuously at a low enough level to match the room.
Was thinking similar, but for the kitchen trash bin.
@@MadScienceWorkshoppe Just put a switch to run it when the lid is closed. Low power module will not make too much ozone, just enough to kill odour in the semi sealed bin. Open lid and it stops so baby does not get zapped pulling the bag out.
Be sure to get machine pins which have appropriately sized holes as there are quite a range of sizes.
Most are intended for small IC legs, while others are large enough for DIL header pins.
Ha! Love the garage 54 reference 👍
I'm fairly sure those Knipex can handle much much thicker metal than that. It's only the smaller pressed ones that should not be used on that. Go and check on their website, e.g. a friend has a similar pair but with the fancy lever jaw mechanism thing, and they can cut through extremely thick, as in 3-4mm diameter, steel. Seriously look them up, you won't be afraid to baby them then.
Speaking of the Beh-beh's:
I was raked over the coals by "friends" many years ago when they found out I had let both my boys (They were both toddlers) stick paperclips/utensil into the wall sockets. They each did it once. They learned. They are both very successful now. Coincidence? I think not!
It's indeed not a coincidence. My youngest son asked his mother when he was 13/14: "Mum, do we still use or need this lamp?". Five minutes later we heard a curse and the lights went out. He's a very intelligent and successful young man now.
As maybe a 10 year old kid plugging in Christmas lights I learned not to f*&k with electricity after getting quite a buzzy shock off them (no idea how it did this but the memory is a bit fuzzy). If I was going to mess with it, do so with insulation and a way to put out fires handy.
LOL Avid viewer of Garage54 here too. (Voiceover by BMI Russia.)
Can we have a desk and/or studio tour at 1,000,000 subs? By the way, I enjoy watching this channel!
“If a baby gets a shock, it serves them right” when I was young i stuck my finger in a light socket when my mom told me not to. The shock served me right!😂
I just did it out of curiosity. I don't think i gained anything from it though. I could've just learned not to do it but thankfully nothing bad happened.
you were a child not baby. babies are totally dependent on adults and if they get shocked under your supervision then you failed as an adult
