@@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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
"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... :-)
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.
the most known russian nuclear "corporation" should be Rosatom. And I agree, the silk layer would be much more cold warish with cyrillic letters. Like this project very much
Just a comment to show appreciation for Clive always warning us before turning the lights back on, I'm light sensitive this allows me to actually close my eyes for a few seconds before, unless you have it you have no idea how bright lights effect migraines and nausea even when its just a quick flash.
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.
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.👍
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.
In 1964 I built an ion helicopter after seeing it in popular mechanics as a glimpse of the future. It was too heavy to take off, but it did make a lot of wind.
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. 😕
Thanks for the ozone test, much appreciated. After looking at more of these in the future it will really help give a visual just how much some of these pump out.

The spelling mistake adds to the authenticity of what I would expect from the Russian Nuclear Corporation selling their wares to the west. If you write an instruction manual, you need to be sure and add even more mistakes 😁 🍺
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
Pain is a wonderful teacher, my parents would only warn me once, then it was " I warned you, bet you won't do that again" as I'm bawling in severe pain.
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.
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
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.
Getting zapped as a small child made me respect electricity, didn't stop me from fooling around with it, but i never got lit up while fooling around because of the aversion to touching live electrical connections i got from being zapped.
Didn't mind the teaching jolt from a 240v mistake. DID mind getting a hand caught on the wrong side of a twelve volt short. It looks so tame until all of a sudden it's on fire.
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. Needless to say, he only did it once!
There's something relaxing about listening to Big C ramble on. He's like that uncle that sits up in the corner of the room in that armchair telling stories about the good old days.
At mosh peric. I fucking love it. You should keep it like that and let it be "clives touch". No one that doesn't know about the error probably won't notice unless it's read twice or pointed out lol.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
Was having a bit of a troubling day, Sir, your shocked baby remark was exactly what I needed. I think when a funny remark kind of comes quite unexpected, it is even more funny and clever. I appreciate you so much. How thick are those pcb's? They look thicker than any hi volume boards I've come across in recent memory. And your perfect consumable needles/socket solution looked and sounded sturdy and secure.
Std 1.6. Hmm. LOokEd thicker. Did they come with those beautiful edges and radiii? Almost had a ceramic sound when boards clicked your bench or each other.
At some point Clive do you think you could do a video where you basically give us a master list of all the handicraft tools and consumable supplies you recommend for both actual soldering but also for making PCB's? I have tried to keep up over the years but it would be massively helpful if you could basically provide a shopping list. It would be a real antidote and dose of reality in contrast with the insulting pie-in-the-sky nonsense we got when eeVBlog did the same thing in the past. I have been away from electronics for a couple of years now but having finally managed to get decent solder again am raring for another crack at it.
I was waiting for you to ZAP yourself, but for someone with fat fingers, you did excellently in not touching the power output. What a lovely breathe of fresh air, LOL... a neat little project Clive, Thanks.

Just the HANDS this Post. Must be a relief, of a kind: No comments on THE BEARD. I had a beard when I met my wife, and kept it for several years... on-again-off-again. She referred to it as her "womb broom" (the sense of the term escaped me) and was sad to see it go, when I finally surrendered to the desire to see AGAIN what my face looked like; hard hit by PISS: Personal Image Syncope Syndrome. That's when the term "Turkey Neck" entered my personal lexicon. BUT... my distress was somewhat tempered when I realized that I still had a chiny-chin-chin. 🐺 Wanted to share an anecdote, pertinent to "appearances". A friend of mine was touring the Rural Southlands of the Colonies on foot two Summers ago. He chanced upon two men who were cutting the front foundation posts of a pole barn. He continued to watch as the two men set a jack to either side of the barn door, and proceeded to raise the front of the barn. That's when my friend, curious as all "get-out", asked what they were up to. They pointed to a nearby Ass (Mule), and explained that everytime they tried to move their Ass into the barn, its ears would hit the lintel. Whereupon it would balk and run away. My friend shrugged and asked: Why didn't you just get a shovel and dig out a half-foot of dirt from the threshold? The two men looked at each other, smirked, thanked my friend and suggested that he move along, they had work to do. He had moved off several paces when he overheard one man say to the other: "Ain't that just like a Brit, thinkin' it's FEET when it's EARS." 😵💥👈 ZAP! God Save the Queen! 👬 🦋
I was just spoofing Garage 54. Although I did just get approached by a company that does translation and voiceovers for the Chinese market. I'm not sure they'd be allowed to watch my videos.
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!
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
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 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.

@@skylined5534 bawling in the severe pain of the spanking..
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.
I'd do the corrections but also get 'previously known as the Atmoshperic Invigorator' screen printed elsewhere on the boards (for shits & giggles).
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
Can we have a desk and/or studio tour at 1,000,000 subs? By the way, I enjoy watching this channel!
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
just watched a video of an ozone generator vs a wasp nest.
wow that really knocked out the whole nest quickly.
amazing
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.
Getting zapped as a small child made me respect electricity, didn't stop me from fooling around with it, but i never got lit up while fooling around because of the aversion to touching live electrical connections i got from being zapped.
Didn't mind the teaching jolt from a 240v mistake. DID mind getting a hand caught on the wrong side of a twelve volt short. It looks so tame until all of a sudden it's on fire.
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.
Needless to say, he only did it once!
I've watched too much electroboom. I expected the worst when he picked up the unit when powered :)
Thanks Clive I will have to try this one out.
"If there is any interest in the PCB" Understatement of the year 😉
The misspelling adds to its charm!
I love Big Clive's murray-isms. "..i'm gonna grab a high voltage supply, probably a low voltage one" :D
There's something relaxing about listening to Big C ramble on. He's like that uncle that sits up in the corner of the room in that armchair telling stories about the good old days.
He does have a soothing voice, and the content is entertaining to boot.
Garage 54 reference made me laugh. Truly a man of taste.
Watching you soldering is like watching one of those stress relief videos. 😲
At mosh peric. I fucking love it. You should keep it like that and let it be "clives touch".
No one that doesn't know about the error probably won't notice unless it's read twice or pointed out lol.
Made with love, and lead!
That's how you know it's good.
Nice, straight forward design
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.
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.
If the babies get a shock, it serves them right. Everybody gets the same chance to learn.
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.
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.
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.
This looks fantastic Clive!
Give those lazy air molecules for what!
Much love Technical Family
Beefing up those pads with solder is one of the few times I might use lead free solder
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!
Fun fact: The Ministry of Medium Machine Building was the Soviet Union’s euphemism for their nuclear industry.
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.
Garage 54 ... always worth a watch, nice reference :D
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
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.
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.
Was having a bit of a troubling day, Sir, your shocked baby remark was exactly what I needed. I think when a funny remark kind of comes quite unexpected, it is even more funny and clever. I appreciate you so much.
How thick are those pcb's? They look thicker than any hi volume boards I've come across in recent memory. And your perfect consumable needles/socket solution looked and sounded sturdy and secure.
Standard 1.6mm laminate.
Std 1.6. Hmm. LOokEd thicker. Did they come with those beautiful edges and radiii? Almost had a ceramic sound when boards clicked your bench or each other.
If the baby withdraws its hand and cries, it's normal.
If it instead reaches in for another zap, it's One Of Us.
@@markfergerson2145 one of us. One of us!
LOL Avid viewer of Garage54 here too. (Voiceover by BMI Russia.)
Would love a comparison between needles and carbon fiber or other materials maybe compare their output per watt over time
Hearing Clive imitate Sean Connery made my day! Very funny Clive! You should be the next James Bond - "soda-streamed, not stirred!"
At some point Clive do you think you could do a video where you basically give us a master list of all the handicraft tools and consumable supplies you recommend for both actual soldering but also for making PCB's? I have tried to keep up over the years but it would be massively helpful if you could basically provide a shopping list. It would be a real antidote and dose of reality in contrast with the insulting pie-in-the-sky nonsense we got when eeVBlog did the same thing in the past.
I have been away from electronics for a couple of years now but having finally managed to get decent solder again am raring for another crack at it.
Only change I would do is change the wording to "Ion Overthruster Technology". A nod to Buckaroo Banzai :)
Atmospheric? Or Atmoshperic? Perfect Clive, just perfect!
Keep up the good work fella and stay safe.
Proper Chinglish to be compatible with cheap ebay modules :)
@@hempbear if Clive had done it intentionally it’d have been a coup! Unfortunately it was just a typical electrical engineering typo.
I was waiting for you to ZAP yourself, but for someone with fat fingers, you did excellently in not touching the power output. What a lovely breathe of fresh air, LOL... a neat little project Clive, Thanks.
Good Monday evening to you sir from Wellington Somerset
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.
Just the HANDS this Post. Must be a relief, of a kind: No comments on THE BEARD. I had a beard when I met my wife, and kept it for several years... on-again-off-again. She referred to it as her "womb broom" (the sense of the term escaped me) and was sad to see it go, when I finally surrendered to the desire to see AGAIN what my face looked like; hard hit by PISS: Personal Image Syncope Syndrome. That's when the term "Turkey Neck" entered my personal lexicon. BUT... my distress was somewhat tempered when I realized that I still had a chiny-chin-chin.

Wanted to share an anecdote, pertinent to "appearances". A friend of mine was touring the Rural Southlands of the Colonies on foot two Summers ago. He chanced upon two men who were cutting the front foundation posts of a pole barn. He continued to watch as the two men set a jack to either side of the barn door, and proceeded to raise the front of the barn. That's when my friend, curious as all "get-out", asked what they were up to. They pointed to a nearby Ass (Mule), and explained that everytime they tried to move their Ass into the barn, its ears would hit the lintel. Whereupon it would balk and run away. My friend shrugged and asked: Why didn't you just get a shovel and dig out a half-foot of dirt from the threshold? The two men looked at each other, smirked, thanked my friend and suggested that he move along, they had work to do. He had moved off several paces when he overheard one man say to the other: "Ain't that just like a Brit, thinkin' it's FEET when it's EARS."
😵💥👈 ZAP!
God Save the Queen! 👬

G'morning Clive and all TOVARISCH'S out there!!!
First and I didnt know you used voice over from BMI 👍
Good stuff though and that's a nice build project. Now I want to make one myself
I was just spoofing Garage 54. Although I did just get approached by a company that does translation and voiceovers for the Chinese market. I'm not sure they'd be allowed to watch my videos.
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!
Very interesting is to watch the PM2.5 Value of the meter, that was falling from over 20 to 3 in a very short time.
'I spelt it wrong'
you spelt it creatively.
so elegent ;-)
Needs russian letters, retro nixie-like modules and big bakelite buttons!
Well Big Clive is providing the Gerbers you can put glitter on yours if wish.
АТМОЅНРЕЯІС ІИѴІГОЯАТОЯ
You had me at Ion Thruster Technology...
The 'ATMOSHPERE" must have been "dark and stormy" when that PCB was designed.....
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.
I laughed pretty good at the intro, long live Garage 54 comrade!
As always, a dry, cynical, look at all things with a buzz. Love it.
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 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.
