You never rely on the reel or labeling, but rather measure a few SMD passives instead. I've heard of at least one case of mislabeled inductors which caused a whole batch of finished modules to be scrapped; they were RF devices as well so they merely worked crappily and the problem wasn't detected until they were installed in a car on the assembly line. Relying on any sort of labeling simply shifts the screwup point from loading the pick and place machine to loading the printing machine at the passives factory.

You don't really need visible bubbles of soap to do this. The whole reason we use soap to clean is because soap naturally forms bubbles(micelles) that trap oils and dirt inside,. in addition to the lipid nature of soap interfering with the lipid bilayer bacteria cells use to contain their contents of course.
@@skipfred The oil, which is lighter than water, gets trapped and suspended by the surface tension of water. The bubbles of soap reduce the surface tension of the surrounding water. A soap bubble gives the oil a large surface to spread onto and a free ride to the top by lowering the 'friction' of the water and being filled with air trying to rise. The surface area is measurably larger on the bumpy bubbles than the flat water surface, the same way a sphere has more surface area than a circle. Here is a general primer on soap bubbles. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/surten2.html You have now seen serious evidence in one way over all the others. Whether pumping air into the water is any more useful than just agitating it, I have no idea, but it's the same goal. Get the oil floating on top of the water instead of stuck in the clothes. TLDR; It's science, math and chemistry not myth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant
In the past, I have worked in the electronic manufacturing using SMT components. I always see unmarked SMT resistors especially the smallest size ones so it is normal to see them with no values. However, it is very important to check the values before loading into SMT pick & place machines as you can't visually inspect them afterwards.
Before she moved house a few years ago, my nan still had and used a twin tub washer/dryer. I remember about 15 years ago her old one broke and she was insistent that she wanted another one instead of a modern washer/dryer. It took pretty much my entire extended family weeks of online searching to find her somewhere that still sold them.
We have a Kenmore fancy fancy wifi enabled washer and dryer. I had to hand wash some fresh laundered stuff after it didn't shift a stain...same brown water. Modern machines seem to be really crap at their job. Wisdom of Nana's.
My brother opened up out new machine that gave up after a year... The freaking gears are made of plastic... The old ones, solid metal and copper motors.

(I personally think)This is the best thing on the internet right now. I honestly cannot think of better time spent either just watching, or reading the comments as well.
You gave me flashbacks to my childhood talking about twintubs. Yes the rubber pad you put on top of the washing in the spinner and my mums big wooden washing tongs.
I remember my mother using a twin tub --- borrowed, because our real washing machine had failed. I was actually rather impressed. Very simple, but also extremely effective. You put the dirty clothes into the agitator, stir them around until they're cleaned, then move them to the other tub and hose them down until they're rinsed; then you spin dry them. While working on the rinse, you have the next batch in the agitator. Compared to a modern washing machine they're incredibly fast; only a few minutes per load. But they do require manual operation. I can totally see that they still have a niche, and a brief search online shows lots of new ones for sale...
Oh, 100%, but it's a neat little idea if it was more powerful and he used a small bucket it'd be perfect for like...underwear or some socks, so you could go do something else, but really what's the use case here camping maybe? There'd be a river right there usually anyways tho so who knows..
It helps extract scum from the micro particles floating in the water. Then you scoop off the scum before you pull the clothes out to have an easy rinse cycle
As a child, I used to watch the washing go around and around - after all these years all I've done is change where I watch washing go around. Life is circular...
Was a washing machine tech for a few years so I don't know a whole hell of a alot about them. But form the ones I worked on they all did the bubbling thing. I believe its used to "push" the dirty water up and away from the bulk of the clothing. Its mostly useless when modern machines just flush the dirty water out two to three times, but older machines would do almost the same thing.
Oh lord this reminded me of when I was an 18 year old lad forced to live in Grandmas with her twin tub. Thursday night got all my black heavy metal clothes washed in the twin tub, hung on the line in summer or all over the living room in winter. Come Friday and Saturday night with my freshly washed pirated Iron Maiden & Metallica T-shirts (that smelled of screen printed Dulux paint), every time I was caught by the blacklight behind the bar in the clubs I was lit up like a Xmas tree of all the sparkling "better than white!" that was in those big box powders and could'nt be rinsed out. At least using my twin tub, cold water hose from tap, and a stick method. Destroyed many clothes too. I also remember the manual mangle from the '70s my mum used instead of a spin drier. Naturally I got my finger caught in it as an infant, just like I did with the hot iron I was warned not to and the electric sockets too. My mum laughs to this day that when I was told not to do something, I would eventually do it, get a minor injury and then absolutely not cry because I knew wrong from right. (Sucked my finger, waved it around and said "burny hot!" when I touched the Iron)
I stepped on a hot soldering iron as a child. My dad had warned me not to go near where he was working without shoes on, but did my little punk ass six year old brain listen? Nope!
I wonder if peeps will have the same issues 20 years from now as well because I am currently forced by my own obsessive compulsivity to hand wash my boyfriend's work clothes before going to do the laundry later in the week. My overworked hands feel it too. This is a cute video though! I still seem unable to conceive of how these things all work to get it done ✅
Im not an electrician, and before now had very little interest beyond fixing dodgy connections and rewiring my plugs. Your content is genuinely fascinating to watch, thankyou 😁
Would the " drier " be a Chinese car with your washing able to be hung out to windows ? ...... but given the Chinese traffic and smog problems you might be re doing your washing .
I think the matching USB dryer would work well the first time but fail to work after that. Oh, and your clothes might acquire the smell of burnt plastic as they dry.
This reminds me of the 70's "holiday" or "students" washing machine that were popular here. In a portable (and probably weaker) form : machine-a-laver-linge.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/calor-263x300.png

And still washes clothes better than the big expensive brands over here 🤣 at some point you have to ask what's worse, cheap Chinese crap or expensive western crap.
Twin tub washing machines are still made. Now usually plastic and billed as 'portable'. Caravan and boat people are the target audience I think. The variety when I was a kid in the early 70's was the width and height of a modern washing machine but half the depth. Mum had to press all her weight down on to it when the spinner was started or it would try to fling itself all over the place.
I had a small portable washer that used similar functions to clean clothing, and it did surprisingly well with small loads like stockings (maybe 3-4 pairs), undergarments (3 or 4) and blouses (2). I could do one pair of slacks, OR one pair of jeans, OR one large towel as well. It actually seemed to clean clothing better than a full size washer, just very, very, very small loads. As my living situation didn't allow for a full size washed and dryer, it was nice to have in a pinch so I wasn't entirely dependent on the local laundromat.
@@foggycraw6758 Wish I could remember, but it was 15 years ago. There are a lot of similar units, though, that work the same. I know Black & Decker makes one, I think they're called "pulsator washers".
@@JasperJanssen Yeah. I t looks like it doesnt do anything besides pretending to work. I know that it is extremely difficult to come up with a working appliance at that kind of budget, but this is just beyond silly.
I have been looking for a agitating submersible to use in a vinyl record cleaning machine I am working on. Looks like this will do just fine. I have a device that protects the record labels with Plexiglas disks and rubber gaskets and spins the LP slowly in a basin. This device is much cheaper than a proper ultrasonic device.
Maybe okay for prototyping, but you certainly wouldn't want to be using it in a saleable product unless you enjoy dealing with a lot of irate customers and product returns.
This thing's essentially rubbish; water ingress means it'll die almost immediately. I guess you could put it in a ziplock bag and still have it do some agitating, but that's not going to go well. Also, you *do* know that it's not ultrasonic, right?
I loved my twin tub. Needed lots of water and human interaction. Reliable for 20 years before replacement by a front loader. P.S. I second the nomination for shampoo for hand laundry while traveling. Also works well for wool wash at home... What else is wool if not hair?
Still using twin tubs myself. I think you can still get a samsung one. Hitachi made them up until the Fukishima era tsunami. The Hitachi were fairly heavy duty. My ones are haier. The cheaper brand owned by Samsung to compete with chinese stuff.
I wasn't expecting much from a USB powered washer but this actually seems like it might be effective at cleaning a couple pieces of clothing at a time assuming they're not heavily stained. Not any more effective than hand washing but that might be all you need and as a bonus it should be safe to use on clothing and other textile that says hand wash only. I could see this maybe being useful on a vacation or camping when you don't have access to a regular washer and need clean clothes to wear.
Maybe the air bubbler function is to "purge water" from the interior. Seems like pressurizing the whole unit would slow down water ingress. It's just kind of weird that it's not running throughout all of the cycles. It would make sense to provide positive pressure with an outlet to the inside of the sealed chamber, making it harder for water to actually get inside. That's what I thought when I saw the air bubble function and the layout of the interior.
..... Technology has come a long way in 50 years. My 'LG' machine could share the 'TangleMatic' title with that old Hoover. (Do you remember how LOUD the spin cycle was ?) P.S. Do you remember those machines with the square programming card, (Different cycle on each edge).
@@robbieaussievic I recently had the dubious pleasure of troubleshooting a larger central heating system of early-2000s vintage, which had a controller with a copyright date of 2000 on the instruction manual, that used programming cards! Thankfully a) I had someone with me who was more experienced with that system (i.e. had actually used it before, unlike me) and b) the problem was an unplugged pump.
So something *is* worn under the kilt then Clive? As long as we don't get a photographic reverse engineering schematic of the works that will be no problem
This video was uploaded on the same day that I'd been wondering how to automate the agitation of water in a bucket for washing rags and cleaning cloths. I was wondering about putting a bent metal stick in the chuck of an old battery drill. I bought one of these instead, the cheaper one without the water bubbler or remote. It's just got the USB plug on. It vibrates, rotates one way for a bit, stops, the rotates the other way. This repeats ad infinitum. Or until your usb battery pack dies. And I have to say, I'm impressed with it. If you put too many cleaning cloths in the bucket, it struggles to do much. With 4 or 5, they tumbled rather nicely. So, thanks for the review, and in certain circumstances, I can actually recommend it! Connected to a Raspberry Pi, it could even form part of a home made washing machine with valves and a pump to fill and empty the bucket....
This looks like it would be useful for camping or disaster preparedness for those who don't know how to hand wash. It packs easy, is easy to power, is easy to use, and I'm sure you already have a bucket in your supplies for other purposes. Especially if, while camping, you get your clothes particularly dirty (trip into a mud puddle?).
Clive.. I've laughed so much; thank you. I hope that you read all the comments & answers to the comments because you have cheered up hundreds of people. Wishing you Love & Happiness, Margaret.
@Dave Micolichek I do believe, that the bubbler mode is utilized when its used in automatic. They wouldn't program that in, if it wasn't intended for use in water.
I love how you printed off the circuit boards so you had aaa manual reference you can point at. it really confused me for a minute until you moved it by hand.
7:50 "Okay. Let's twist it. Let's pull it. Ohhhh. Let's get another bit of towel in because it's very, very wet. Is it coming out? What have we got here? I wonder if there's a screw hole?" This was all out of context in my mind.
I had a couple of these before... The common fault for me was that after a while the agitator was unable to turn the weight of the water and in the end it died. They may have fixed the issue with the newer models.
0402 is crazily small. Thats 0.4mm X 0.2mm. Id have trouble even seeing the part itself, let alone reading the value. That is too small to fit any marking on. If you dropped it, you would never find it.
@@simontay4851 No, the SMD sizes are imperial based (well, the ones in most common use are, though there is a parallel set of metric designations) But 0402 is imperial (most likely, only seen metric down to 0603, which is equivalent to imperial 0201. 0603 also looks to be the only size designation that exists in both imperial and metric) and is 0.04" x 0.02" or approximately 1mm x 0.5mm Still f'in small though 🔬😀 See for instance www.resistorguide.com/resistor-sizes-and-packages/
Nooooo. We have got twin tubs on generators or the "egg" hand wound washing machine. Which are GREAT btw. I have 3 twin tubs and 1 egg washing machine and while traveling my parents used to have a bucket with a lid and load that up with clothes and the vibration from rough roads done the rest.
I must admit my uncle was given a giant 240V 80W one like this that sat on the bottom of a bucket. Japanese. And I threw it out become it was covered in dust and fluff and probably dead.
There's a chemical some scammers use for their Detox foot spas. They probably added the same thing. Basically the pellet is electrified and and it releases similar muck.
@@Brettjnash the mask isn't there to protect you. It's so that your saliva isn't projected onto others. If everyone is wearing one that's where it's really effective. Keep up.
1:00 The "B" function doesn't change directions. That's what the instructions say (on the left page). (A) Automatic (reversing), (B) Turbine Cleaning (one direction), (C) Ultrasound, (D) Bubble Cleaning. 14:20 Okay, your explanation is better.
05:00: The water getting murky is because of washing powder residue in your clothes. Likely the silica compound that softens the water. Modern washing machines save water by only rinsing most of the detergent out but not all of it.
I have a strong allergy to bio detergents and a mild allergy to non-bio, plus I don't like shortening the life of my clothes by leaving them full on conditioner so a second rinse cycle is a must for me. Water is cheap compared to clothes and in particular comfort (not the conditioner).
Yeah, the stupid trend of modern machines trying to save water is REALLY irritating. Just fucking wash AND rinse my clothes properly, "saving" some water is NOT going to save our planet! My washing machine has a "feature" that "measures" how much clothes there are (in some programs) and then doses the water accordingly. But it really leaves the clothes too dry to wash properly, so I do not use that program anymore. Thankfully some other programs are available in it that do not do that!
Im curious if perhaps the instructions werent read properly and the ultrasonic unit was placed in the tiny panties while being worn and thats what caused the initial moisture. Naughty?

Here is a general primer on soap bubbles. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/surten2.html
You have now seen serious evidence in one way over all the others. Whether pumping air into the water is any more useful than just agitating it, I have no idea, but it's the same goal. Get the oil floating on top of the water instead of stuck in the clothes.
TLDR; It's science, math and chemistry not myth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant
I think good evidence that you don’t need air bubbles is detergent made for HE (high efficiency) machines. It doesn’t make bubbles.
In the past, I have worked in the electronic manufacturing using SMT components.
I always see unmarked SMT resistors especially the smallest size ones so it is normal to see them with no values.
However, it is very important to check the values before loading into SMT pick & place machines as you can't visually inspect them afterwards.

Before she moved house a few years ago, my nan still had and used a twin tub washer/dryer. I remember about 15 years ago her old one broke and she was insistent that she wanted another one instead of a modern washer/dryer. It took pretty much my entire extended family weeks of online searching to find her somewhere that still sold them.
We have a Kenmore fancy fancy wifi enabled washer and dryer. I had to hand wash some fresh laundered stuff after it didn't shift a stain...same brown water. Modern machines seem to be really crap at their job. Wisdom of Nana's.
My brother opened up out new machine that gave up after a year... The freaking gears are made of plastic...
The old ones, solid metal and copper motors.

...which begs the question, which will become more agitated the clothes or the purchaser?
Considering that the watered motor would rust and seize before next use I doubt the device would make anyone happy.
@Michael Bishop A dry switch surely prevents the wet motor from turning into a lump of rust. Totally common sense.

Good point. How else will she be able to sit on it in the tub?
You gave me flashbacks to my childhood talking about twintubs. Yes the rubber pad you put on top of the washing in the spinner and my mums big wooden washing tongs.
I remember my mother using a twin tub --- borrowed, because our real washing machine had failed. I was actually rather impressed. Very simple, but also extremely effective. You put the dirty clothes into the agitator, stir them around until they're cleaned, then move them to the other tub and hose them down until they're rinsed; then you spin dry them. While working on the rinse, you have the next batch in the agitator. Compared to a modern washing machine they're incredibly fast; only a few minutes per load. But they do require manual operation. I can totally see that they still have a niche, and a brief search online shows lots of new ones for sale...
Your far too modern, I remember mum having a twin tub but no spin, that's what the mangle was for!
That vibrator motor looks just like the ones they used in old pagers when they were in silent mode.
i get the feeling hand washing might be more effective.
Hand washing is more effective than your washing machine too, to be fair.....

That washing machine thingy did a much better job than I had imagined it would.
The bubbles are right before the end so maybe it's to diffuse the soap scum on top so you can pull you laundry out without too much detergent on them
It helps extract scum from the micro particles floating in the water.
Then you scoop off the scum before you pull the clothes out to have an easy rinse cycle
As a child, I used to watch the washing go around and around - after all these years all I've done is change where I watch washing go around. Life is circular...

Was a washing machine tech for a few years so I don't know a whole hell of a alot about them. But form the ones I worked on they all did the bubbling thing. I believe its used to "push" the dirty water up and away from the bulk of the clothing. Its mostly useless when modern machines just flush the dirty water out two to three times, but older machines would do almost the same thing.
Oh lord this reminded me of when I was an 18 year old lad forced to live in Grandmas with her twin tub. Thursday night got all my black heavy metal clothes washed in the twin tub, hung on the line in summer or all over the living room in winter. Come Friday and Saturday night with my freshly washed pirated Iron Maiden & Metallica T-shirts (that smelled of screen printed Dulux paint), every time I was caught by the blacklight behind the bar in the clubs I was lit up like a Xmas tree of all the sparkling "better than white!" that was in those big box powders and could'nt be rinsed out. At least using my twin tub, cold water hose from tap, and a stick method. Destroyed many clothes too.
I also remember the manual mangle from the '70s my mum used instead of a spin drier. Naturally I got my finger caught in it as an infant, just like I did with the hot iron I was warned not to and the electric sockets too. My mum laughs to this day that when I was told not to do something, I would eventually do it, get a minor injury and then absolutely not cry because I knew wrong from right. (Sucked my finger, waved it around and said "burny hot!" when I touched the Iron)
I stepped on a hot soldering iron as a child. My dad had warned me not to go near where he was working without shoes on, but did my little punk ass six year old brain listen? Nope!
I wonder if peeps will have the same issues 20 years from now as well because I am currently forced by my own obsessive compulsivity to hand wash my boyfriend's work clothes before going to do the laundry later in the week. My overworked hands feel it too. This is a cute video though! I still seem unable to conceive of how these things all work to get it done ✅
Im not an electrician, and before now had very little interest beyond fixing dodgy connections and rewiring my plugs.

The bubbles might be an indicator to whether or not there's still enough soap inside. Once the soap is "used up" (no bubbles) you have to add more

Would the " drier " be a Chinese car with your washing able to be hung out to windows ?

As far as cheap Chinese gadgetry, I'd say this one ranks high on the list.
And still washes clothes better than the big expensive brands over here 🤣 at some point you have to ask what's worse, cheap Chinese crap or expensive western crap.
Twin tub washing machines are still made. Now usually plastic and billed as 'portable'. Caravan and boat people are the target audience I think. The variety when I was a kid in the early 70's was the width and height of a modern washing machine but half the depth. Mum had to press all her weight down on to it when the spinner was started or it would try to fling itself all over the place.
I had a small portable washer that used similar functions to clean clothing, and it did surprisingly well with small loads like stockings (maybe 3-4 pairs), undergarments (3 or 4) and blouses (2). I could do one pair of slacks, OR one pair of jeans, OR one large towel as well. It actually seemed to clean clothing better than a full size washer, just very, very, very small loads. As my living situation didn't allow for a full size washed and dryer, it was nice to have in a pinch so I wasn't entirely dependent on the local laundromat.
What brand?
@@foggycraw6758 Wish I could remember, but it was 15 years ago. There are a lot of similar units, though, that work the same. I know Black & Decker makes one, I think they're called "pulsator washers".
I had a Hoover twin tub for a while. It was passed down to me from a family I was friends with. It worked very well actually.
That's a toy quality mechanism in there.

I have been looking for a agitating submersible to use in a vinyl record cleaning machine I am working on. Looks like this will do just fine. I have a device that protects the record labels with Plexiglas disks and rubber gaskets and spins the LP slowly in a basin. This device is much cheaper than a proper ultrasonic device.
Have pictures?
Maybe okay for prototyping, but you certainly wouldn't want to be using it in a saleable product unless you enjoy dealing with a lot of irate customers and product returns.
It’s just for personal use.
This thing's essentially rubbish; water ingress means it'll die almost immediately. I guess you could put it in a ziplock bag and still have it do some agitating, but that's not going to go well. Also, you *do* know that it's not ultrasonic, right?
I loved my twin tub. Needed lots of water and human interaction. Reliable for 20 years before replacement by a front loader.
P.S. I second the nomination for shampoo for hand laundry while traveling. Also works well for wool wash at home... What else is wool if not hair?
Interesting idea 🐑
The silicone in shampoo is not what you want on your clothes.
Still using twin tubs myself. I think you can still get a samsung one. Hitachi made them up until the Fukishima era tsunami. The Hitachi were fairly heavy duty. My ones are haier. The cheaper brand owned by Samsung to compete with chinese stuff.
@@toomanymarys7355 might protect it from stains?
@@mrtechie6810 It'll coat it and make it slippery, but no stain protection.
I wasn't expecting much from a USB powered washer but this actually seems like it might be effective at cleaning a couple pieces of clothing at a time assuming they're not heavily stained. Not any more effective than hand washing but that might be all you need and as a bonus it should be safe to use on clothing and other textile that says hand wash only. I could see this maybe being useful on a vacation or camping when you don't have access to a regular washer and need clean clothes to wear.
Maybe the air bubbler function is to "purge water" from the interior. Seems like pressurizing the whole unit would slow down water ingress. It's just kind of weird that it's not running throughout all of the cycles. It would make sense to provide positive pressure with an outlet to the inside of the sealed chamber, making it harder for water to actually get inside. That's what I thought when I saw the air bubble function and the layout of the interior.
So, to go with the explosive containment pie dish, we now have the secretion containment towel?

(Do you remember how LOUD the spin cycle was ?) P.S. Do you remember those machines with the square programming card, (Different cycle on each edge).
@@robbieaussievic Hover Keymatic had one :)
You need to supply the flooding yourself by kicking the bucket over as Clive did.
@@robbieaussievic I recently had the dubious pleasure of troubleshooting a larger central heating system of early-2000s vintage, which had a controller with a copyright date of 2000 on the instruction manual, that used programming cards! Thankfully a) I had someone with me who was more experienced with that system (i.e. had actually used it before, unlike me) and b) the problem was an unplugged pump.

This must be the warp drive of the washing machines. You move the universe around the space ship.
But will it turn a whale into a pot of petunias that thinks to itself as it plummets to it's demise, "Oh no, not again."?
This video was uploaded on the same day that I'd been wondering how to automate the agitation of water in a bucket for washing rags and cleaning cloths. I was wondering about putting a bent metal stick in the chuck of an old battery drill.
I bought one of these instead, the cheaper one without the water bubbler or remote. It's just got the USB plug on. It vibrates, rotates one way for a bit, stops, the rotates the other way. This repeats ad infinitum. Or until your usb battery pack dies.
And I have to say, I'm impressed with it. If you put too many cleaning cloths in the bucket, it struggles to do much. With 4 or 5, they tumbled rather nicely.
So, thanks for the review, and in certain circumstances, I can actually recommend it!
Connected to a Raspberry Pi, it could even form part of a home made washing machine with valves and a pump to fill and empty the bucket....
How did you make it through the 'Directions' without a comment about #2, the "Magic Sucker" ?
You're a lot of fun. I bought one of these and I'm glad you took yours apart so I don't have to.
So... where does the "ultrasonic" come into it? More subsonic by the looks of it.
This looks like it would be useful for camping or disaster preparedness for those who don't know how to hand wash.
It packs easy, is easy to power, is easy to use, and I'm sure you already have a bucket in your supplies for other purposes.
Especially if, while camping, you get your clothes particularly dirty (trip into a mud puddle?).
Absolutely pissed myself laughing 😂
Clive.. I've laughed so much; thank you. I hope that you read all the comments & answers to the comments because you have cheered up hundreds of people.
Wishing you

Maybe the “air bubbler” wasn’t meant for use under water but for after you take it out so it can eject any excess moisture from the spinner?
@Dave Micolichek I do believe, that the bubbler mode is utilized when its used in automatic. They wouldn't program that in, if it wasn't intended for use in water.

7:50 "Okay. Let's twist it. Let's pull it. Ohhhh. Let's get another bit of towel in because it's very, very wet. Is it coming out? What have we got here? I wonder if there's a screw hole?" This was all out of context in my mind.
If ever there was a BCDC video to go viral this one has to be added to the list. So many quotable statements. Thanks Clive for the entertainment.
I had a couple of these before... The common fault for me was that after a while the agitator was unable to turn the weight of the water and in the end it died. They may have fixed the issue with the newer models.
"It vibrates" and someone here other than me watching the video got her eyes widen, someone would definitely would buy this.
Imagine being the employee with the job of scratching out the values on surface mount resistors.
The Panasonic 0603 resistors I buy in cut tape from Digikey have no values printed on them. At a certain point, you can’t see them anyway.
I use mostly 0402 resistors and capacitors, and I don't think I've ever seen one with markings.
0402 is crazily small. Thats 0.4mm X 0.2mm. Id have trouble even seeing the part itself, let alone reading the value. That is too small to fit any marking on. If you dropped it, you would never find it.
@@simontay4851 No, the SMD sizes are imperial based (well, the ones in most common use are, though there is a parallel set of metric designations)
But 0402 is imperial (most likely, only seen metric down to 0603, which is equivalent to imperial 0201. 0603 also looks to be the only size designation that exists in both imperial and metric) and is 0.04" x 0.02" or approximately 1mm x 0.5mm Still f'in small though 🔬😀

10:00: "It's not particularly waterproof." This USB-powered panty washer is obviously a joke.
Have you considered a merch store? A tshirt with "MOAR PANTY SHREDDING ACTION" would sell well.
1:00 The "B" function doesn't change directions. That's what the instructions say (on the left page). (A) Automatic (reversing), (B) Turbine Cleaning (one direction), (C) Ultrasound, (D) Bubble Cleaning.
14:20 Okay, your explanation is better.
05:00: The water getting murky is because of washing powder residue in your clothes. Likely the silica compound that softens the water. Modern washing machines save water by only rinsing most of the detergent out but not all of it.
That or he uses fabric softener in the rinse water.
I have a strong allergy to bio detergents and a mild allergy to non-bio, plus I don't like shortening the life of my clothes by leaving them full on conditioner so a second rinse cycle is a must for me. Water is cheap compared to clothes and in particular comfort (not the conditioner).
@@SeanBZA That would be a lot of softener for the residue in 2 underpants clouding a bucket full of water.
Conditioner gives the fibres a charge which attracts dirt.
Yeah, the stupid trend of modern machines trying to save water is REALLY irritating. Just fucking wash AND rinse my clothes properly, "saving" some water is NOT going to save our planet! My washing machine has a "feature" that "measures" how much clothes there are (in some programs) and then doses the water accordingly. But it really leaves the clothes too dry to wash properly, so I do not use that program anymore. Thankfully some other programs are available in it that do not do that!
Im curious if perhaps the instructions werent read properly and the ultrasonic unit was placed in the tiny panties while being worn and thats what caused the initial moisture. Naughty?
