  • Poundland Nooky pills and a washing machine cable and interference suppression module. That sounds like a good night to me.
    Note that at the point of editing this I'm possibly feeling the slightly elevating effects of those pills. That and a bit of indigestion. Sadly there's no sign of a full-on bear chubby yet though.
    The interference suppressor taken apart for our edutainment was not actually from my washing machine. It's a second hand part bought on eBay.
    I've just checked the capacitor values with a meter and they are all in tolerance, so it would have been fully usable if I hadn't thoroughly dismantled it.

      @godeagarunov3738 6 лет назад +13

      They are exactly the same thing, the differences between the two types are just differences in brand recipes/production.
      None of these pills do what they claim to do, they just slightly stimulate dopamine (reward) receptors with the caffeine (in laymans terms, the actual pharmacological processes of caffeine are beyond the scope of this reply), which can make whatever you do after you take them feel more rewarding (even if you actually perform worse, as moderate to high doses of dopamine [for men] can cause temporary impotence), which makes it more likely you will buy the pills again.
      If you notice, they also rely heavily on marketing and branding. Since all the pills are more or less the same, the marketing and brand is what really carries the value of the product, as the pills themselves can be produced for pennies.
      Mix that with the desperate state that a fat or impotent person might be in to fix their "problem", and it just becomes a money for pleasure trap similar to drugs, gambling, etc.

    In the U.S. at least, A lot of herbal "male-enhancement" capsules actually do contain PDE5 inhibitors(viagra, Cialis) even though they aren't listed on the ingredients. You can tell pretty easily because you get a stuffy nose as a side effect, along with more, noticeable effects... It's strange that you can buy capsules that contain unlisted pharmaceutical drugs that are illegal to posses without a prescription from major chain gas stations, but it's just one of those things society turns a blind eye to, at least until the media decides to launch a campaign saying that teenagers are getting addicted to truck stop boner pills.

    There are multiple xanthine like compounds. The effect is a bit like ephedrine. They really mean it where it reads "not to be used by... high blood pressure, heart disease, or sleep problems". You can end up in an agitated, jittery state especially if your blood sugar drops, so I wouldn't recommend following their instruction to take these on an empty stomach until you've tried them with a little in your stomach on a test run.

    Not sure if it helps people to know, but when measuring tiny quantities, you are better off making a solution of known concentration, then using that for your measurements.
    Even with ug scales, measuring tiny amounts is difficult, since the amount is so small, it is easy to accidentally double your dose.
    The solution is to measure in teaspoon, or, as i prefer, shot sized aliquots. (I may be wrong about using aliquot for this, I learned it using tiny samples of toxin in a lab I worked in.)
    To make an aliquot of anhydrous caffeine, take 3g (about 2 teaspoons, but you should measure this on a scale that measures in milligrams) and add it to 500ml water.
    You now have a solution of 6mg/ml of caffeine solution. I still like to work with large volumes for precision, so I then add 15ml (half a shot) of this solution to 2l of home made soda for a final concentration of 45ug per ml or 45mg/litre.
    Since coke is about 95.8mg/l, I am using just under half the caffeine of coke, with no need to measure tiny quantities.

    At my house i have a wide range of LED bulbs, i am going nuts with the fail rate.
    Even expensive Osram and Philips lights fail fairly regulary.
    Worst area is the bathrom where i have double armatures 2x bulbs on each side of the mirror.
    Atleast one bulb a month, and often a cascade effect.
    I have no dimmers or anything similar.
    Have you any experience with interference, overtones or anything like that caused by LED lights or other equipment. That kills LED bulbs.

    So, my brother bought a kilo of pure anhydrous caffeine from a food chemical supplier, to boost colas and caffeinate sports drinks. We still have more than half of it ten years later. It's a great cheap substitute to expensive energy drinks, as long as you don't mind the bitter taste. It's best to stick to 1/8 tsp per drink and no more than one drink per day. Just 1/8 of a teaspoon is more than triple the amount of caffeine you find in a typical energy drink.

    This reminds me of the "sticky-back recording tape" from "The Secret Life of Machines" for no apparent reason. I noticed the pills have an anti-caking agent. So are these are ultimately intended for use with pies? I'm just asking for a friend. Well, not so much a friend as an acquaintance. >.>

    so what would happen if I put a bigass capacitor in series with my vacuum cleaner?
    I bet that would register on my meter.. I can't really imagine why a capacitive load would not register...

      A pure, zero leak, zero ESR capacitor will pump back as much power as it takes out, as there's nowhere else the energy goes. However the wiring will be heating up all the way back to the transformer. Obviously such a pure capacitor is an unachievable ideal.

    When you get a slightly shock on your washingmaschine , then Check your Earthconnection. These class Y Capacitors will give Voltage on the Maschinehousing.
    We had that Problem at a Friend of me.
    The Earthconnection in the plug Socket was off. When she had one Hand on the Watertap and the other on the Washer she got a shock whyle cleaning the Kitchen.
    Greetings from Germany , i love your Videos. Thanks a lot for these Lessons!

    Hey bud love the content! Can you help me please! I have some ghosts that are on a string (flying axworthy ghost setup) and I want them to light up only when they move. Kind of like them kids shoes that light up when the kids stomp. I can't find how that is done. Do you know how? Thanks for your help and videos!

    • @greenaum
      @greenaum 6 лет назад

      You can get "mercury switches" (though they no longer use actual mercury) to detect movement or shaking. One of those, in series with an LED and resistor would be a simple way of doing it.
      If you want the light to stay on a bit longer, a transistor / capacitor monostable, or a 555, would do that.

    Hi thanks for very good videos,
    My mum has a 12year old Bosch dishwasher, that tripped her main RCD of the house after about 40-60mins when she was getting her large cooker fixed, see asked the man to look at the dishwasher, he did not find anything wrong with it, she did not like to ask me as I was working,
    I am a prototype wireman, and a c&g pat tester, and radio ham, so I do do a lot like your self , but no videos,
    Anyway when she told me , I did have a look at it for her,
    I did a insulation test at 500v then at a 1000v and all was OK, as I have a seawood pat tester, I then tested earth leakage and that was OK, so I left the dishwasher running off my pat tester, and after about 30mins the earth leakage started to clime and clime until the RCD switched, at about 40mins,
    Anyway the problem was the mains filter in the dishwasher, so all working now,
    I do not think any so called repair men would have tested it for that long, would they have tested the earth leakage?
    Thanks Dave
    Good luck with vids keep them coming

    • @johndododoe1411
      @johndododoe1411 4 года назад

      Hopefully there's a dedicated test for these modules that reveal the fault in seconds. Repairmen would then need to know "If customer complains of RCD tripping, test this and replace module".

    I work in an electronics store, and when I'm selling mains voltage stuff to people who really ought not be touching mains voltage, I always tell them "brown is live because you'll shit yourself if you touch it". I then go on to add that doesn't mean neutral is always safe, and it's just a mnemonic device.

    Hi Clive, I'm just starting to poke about with electronic circuits but after getting an almighty wallop off I think a disposable camera flash capacitor I'm now very cautious!!! Any chance of a small 101 on dangerous components to look out for when poking about please?

    • @bigclivedotcom

      Aside from live mains powered circuitry I think you've already found the spiciest component. High voltage capacitors.

      Got across the filter capacitors in a fender tube amp one. Knocked me across the room and flat on my back.
      Didn't even know what has happened at first...felt like someone hit me in forehead with an invisible baseball bat. Hard.
      Never made that mistake again.

    I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on "smart" meters. I'm sceptical about them and the real reasons why they are being pushed so hard, and there have been various problems reported with them massively over-reading, but there's also a lot of far-fetched conspiracy theories out there. It would be great if you could do a video about them covering what's actually different about them compared to regular meters, why they've been over-reading, whether they can be trusted going forward, etc. Thanks!

    • @bigclivedotcom
      @bigclivedotcom  6 лет назад +1

      Ignore the conspiracy theories. The meters are saving the power companies the cost of employing meter readers and giving them the very annoying option of switching the meters remotely to bill for apparent power, which will suddenly double the cost of running many electronic items.
