    Thanks everyone for the kind words! It's good to see a hard project like this is well received. You make everything worthwhile!
    And if you are interested, I was using PETG material on my LULZBOT 3D printer. PETG material is stronger than PLA, and although PLA surface finish looks nicer, PETG is not too bad either. My initial prints were done with a setting with lower temperature, which made the layers not stick too well. So I raised the temperature for later prints.

      I'd like to know how many hours total this project took - might make me feel better about just spending 3 months on a project where the ultimate outcome was changing a "4" into an "8" (but of course the trick is knowing which 4 needs to be changed). If you think forward engineering is hard, you should try reverse engineering sometime - much harder, but way more interesting and engaging!

    hey mehdi, just wanted to say - you have no idea how much I appreciate you include so many of your failed ideas and designs. It definitely adds to the comedic effect, but it also is such a relief for other DIYers who struggle with the same issues.

I appreciate Mehdi so much for incorporating those in the montage in such an organic way!! Keep up the good work Mehdi!

    Mr. ElectroBOOM, I have pondered this for a while and this is what I found intriguing about your video format: It's not only that the moment your experiments blow up being funny, but you convey a very important message to your audience without even being overwhelmingly imposing about it-- "If you ever fail, laugh it off and try, try again!"

    One of the best youtubers I have ever seen. I love your unassuming nature. As a creator and software engineer myself, it's just unreal how many things go wrong with all the well thought out plans, and the overwhelming amount of debugging needed to make things work in the end. This level of toil is almost always hidden to the novices, who immediately panic when things go wrong. Showing everyone the whole scope of building something awesome is honestly the best way to teach the next generation of creators. I salute you.

    Two suggestions! First you could send the coil power through the two remaining brass rods. The ends of the coils could be soldered to the brass where the brass passes next to the coil. Then coat the rods with clear coat or conformal coat so that nothing shorts them out. The second suggestion is you could add a second LED in the opposite polarity since they are diodes they will act as tiny rectifiers. That way the "flies" will be producing light for the full wave instead of only half of the wave. You could sandwich the capacitor between the LEDS. Also hot air and solder paste is very helpful for tiny SMD components.

    • @drwhoeric
      @drwhoeric Год назад +5

      Good ideas, but I disagree with the second LED suggestion. Polarity will keep reversing as the coils move about in the chamber and the second LED will reduce the flicker effect and add weight to the element. Though they would not reduce the current draw as they are opposing polarity.

    • @cooperised
      @cooperised Год назад +12

      ​@@drwhoeric Nope, polarity is reversing anyway 96000 times per second because it's AC. So the movement of the fireflies doesn't affect the polarity of the waveform the LED sees.

    • @1234567890CAB
      @1234567890CAB Год назад +5

      @cooperised @drwhoeric Exactly! The frequency is way too high for the polarity change to produce any visible flicker. Infact, Flourescent lighting flickers every time mains AC changes polarity, or 120 times per second for 60 hz AC. That flicker is barely perceptible to only the most sensitive people. However, the phosphorescent coating does continue to glow dimly after you shut power off, so the contrast of each flicker isn't as great as if you had a 120 hz monitor flicker between black and white screens. The flicker of the "flies" is actually created by the orientation of the fly's coils. When the fly coil is perpendicular (horizontal) to the alternating magnetic field, alternating current is induced in the coil to power the led, but when the coil is parallel (vertical) to the alternating magnetic field, no current is induced in the coil. Also the angle of the coil will vary the intensity of the induced curent, so at a 45 degree angle (diagonal) the induced current is half as intense. However, a negative effect could potentially be that the additional LED changes the resonance of the entire circut, but this is easily fixed by remeasuring the resonant frequency and adjusting the driver.

    • @cjdelphi
      @cjdelphi Год назад +1

      Problem with the 2nd led is that it would never stop glowing it would alternate between the two depending on which part of the magnetic field is induced, it wouldn't look like a firefly

    • @QuantenMagier
      @QuantenMagier Год назад

      I think with a second LED it will be much worse if it works at all because you basically shortcut the capacitor if you allow both directions.
