    That was absolutely fascinating. I'm a doctor not an electrical engineer so I didn't understand a fair bit of it but I got the general picture. Really thorough job, nicely presented. Thanks! PS: the little symbol on the bottom with the stick figure is the international symbol for electrical equipment that is safe to be used in the presence of a defibrillator! A little bit tortological in this case but there you go.

    That cap/resistor ladder coming off the main power transformer (probably a flyback switching converter and more than likely running in a DCM mode) is used more than likely to act as a resonant circuit, to help damp the inrush going into the caps and also as a decoupling cap to prevent the high DC voltages from discharging through the secondary of the transformer. Otherwise it would short through the transformer and possibly damage it while also harming even the drive circuitry due to it sending a low but extremely high current pulse (that's negative and rings like crazy) out of the primary. Which could damage your drive MOSFETs. They gave GDTs normally (Gate Drive Transformer). The use of resonant caps like this is very common in low power high voltage circuitry such as this. Extremely well done video by the way! Very well explained. I've actually used some of the design criteria of AEDs for my own high voltage capacitively coupled secondaries, it's called ferroresonance, where the leakage inductances of the secondary and the series cap make a complex LC network that allows for higher voltages and also DC decoupling. Also like you mentioned it is a ferrite core meaning that 10nf cap is perfect due to the high frequencies the transformer is being driven at. It's simply a high voltage SMPS but with multiple safety measures.

      It would be nice if you tried to articulate you words instead of talking inside your mouth at the end of a sentence. This would produce a clear and understanding explanation. You garble to much and talk to fast for the majority of your watchers. I try to give you some direction to enhance you video postings and do not want to be rude or anything else. At least you try and that speaks in your favor but about 50% goes lost in .... Anyway I hope you consider some of my hints. Keep up your work.

    We have several of these dotted about where I work. They cost approx £1000 a pop. Did a defib course and got to see a demo with the voice commands and the cycle through the whole process. The speaker is very loud for obvious reasons. Imagine having to use one during a football match at Old Trafford or Wembley. Great tool tip with the slot and a great 'oops!' at the end.

    @2009mnasar Panasonic HDC-SD10. Bought cheap on ebay as faulty & fixed it. It's OK - I've no experience of other cams to compare with, but minor complaints are no external mic, no remote, manual lens-cap (it should at least beep if you turn it off & leave the lens open!)

  • @todkapuz
    @todkapuz 11 лет назад

    Rx-only .. in the united states one must have a prescription (rx) to own an aed .. typically to get one (as a business), there basically has to be medical direction and a program (procedure) around the use and care of the aeds. just more of the high regulation of medical devices in this country. the newer version of this product (that we use and im responsible for at my company) actually have 3 different shock levels... neat seeing inside as obviously can't do that for ours and still use :)

    @douro20 Not sure what the requirements are but there's quite a lot of extra logic on the CPU, so I'd expect there is significant reality-checking, watchdogs etc. Problem with multiple processors is you increase overall complexity & make it harder to test.
    Glad I don't write code for things like this.

    I think a lot of the defib waveforms and detection criteria are set by standards derived from clinical trials, so not sure how much scope there is for variations other than clever circuitry.

  • @FyberOptic
    @FyberOptic 13 лет назад

    So basically at heart it's a PC. I always love finding devices which still run microcontroller iterations of early chips, particularly of x86. I've usually found V20/V30, but also the occasional 80C186. Z80 hardware seems more common, but it's more prone to end up in proprietary microcontrollers, where only reverse-engineering firmware reveals what the I/O ports control. x86 or not, though, running something like Star Control on a defibrillator is still a bit out of the question!

  • @doctorgarner
    @doctorgarner 9 лет назад

    Wow. Very interesting design. The designs they teach us are usually just a large capacitor array with the pulse waveform simply inverted midway through discharge (hence the negative pulse starting at the opposite of the trailing edge of the positive pulse). Any idea why they'd go to such terrible complexity of voltage balancing two separate capacitor banks instead of simply using a second array of MOSFET/thyristors to "flip" the capacitor array? BTW: these deliver a very fixed number of coulombs of energy; in debug mode, these will actually give you exact energy delivered. Which portion of the circuitry monitors actual energy delivered? The smaller transformer?

    Looking at the type of CPU and the application used I would suspect it would have run some form of embedded Linux, were you ever able to confirm this as I would also not be impossible that it could have run on MSDOS or a custom OS instead.

    • @DrTune
      @DrTune 8 лет назад

      +TheEPROM9 Seems pretty unlikely IMO - I'd guess it's a simple RTOS - anything else would be pretty over the top for that application (and back in 2000 designers didn't just reach for Linux the way that's so temptingly cheap/easy to do nowadays)

    @wolfy9005 12 лет назад

    Nope. I'm more worried about using 2 hands with high voltage, but it is clear this guy knows what he is doing so I have no reason to be worried. Most caps can be discharged by simply shoving a screwdriver in between the terminals quickly or using a big bastard of a resistor.

    • @tolgaturhan2069
      @tolgaturhan2069 2 года назад

      The capacitors in an AED are not charged when the AED is switched off and when it doesn’t have a battery installed. The AED will only charge the capacitors during self tests and rescues on patients. During self tests the AED charges the capacitors to test if they’re in working condition, but after the self test it automatically discharges the capacitors.

    @wincywillis8758 8 лет назад +1

    Love seeing the teardowns, some great ones and some fantastic info. But please get facts right when describing devices. You have "used for resuscitation on heart attack", what, NO. They are used on Cardiac Arrest, totally different to a Heart Attack, a defib on a heart attack casualty wouldn't do a thing. The defib do not resuscitate, they stop your heart which should then start it going again. Like the bit, designed for people without full medical training like ambulances!

    • @bikingmnviking3801
      @bikingmnviking3801 8 лет назад

      +Wincy Willis Right, they use shots of epinephrine sulfate to start the heart. I remember them doing that after I gave my father CPR. I always wondered what frequency the heart defaults to when it defibs (I once wondered if it was 120 caused by all the 60 hz power around us... and would it be 100 in the UK with 50 hz power?) and why it defibs to that frequency.
      Excellent video, Mike, 'specially love the schematic at the end... we could build one of our own! ( I almost bought an EKG machine with defib at a garage sale a block over but thought, WHY? Would have made an interesting YT vid.. this thing was ancient. Wooden case. Almost no safeties anywhere -- it was just assumed it be "in the right hands". )
