This is fairly long but an interesting watch:

Mark Rober is a genius. He's been around for years making fantastic videos. Always great content from that channel.

I'm thinking more mirrors edge.

It lives!
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3b455b813a.png Despite all the drama this machine has caused over the years, it fired up from a dead-cold shutdown on the first attempt, with zero major faults. I'll admit that I laughed like an idiot, then patted the cabinets on the front and told it "good girl." Ran it into the test load for a few hours while I let it warm up and re-calibrate, then switched it to the antenna around 3:30pm. Internet connectivity is still down, so we're shooting a signal across the river from Hancock with a little Ubiquiti airfiber pair. |
Joe, I will admit that the pic above reminds me of a science fiction story I read about the challenges of interstellar travel... the premise was that mammals average 80% water by volume, and the fuel cost in moving that much mass across the galaxy was prohibitive, so science had found a way to dehydrate living creatures. The thought being that a suitable planet would with it's plentiful water supply could be used to rehydrate everything to start the new colony. Above is exactly what I envisioned the trays would look like... there should be some much larger ones off to the right for elephants and whales and such.

I can't find a photo of a module from this exact series, but here's one from the VHF version of the transmitter: https://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/Harris%20Top.jpg Not much to look at with the lid on. Under the lid there is lots of heavy wizardry. Coils galore, including things that are electrically a coil yet aren't shaped anything like a coil. And capacitors that don't look anything like a capacitor. Imagine two thin U-shaped aluminum bars next to each other. That's a capacitor. Initial factory-turning of them involves tapping the bars with a small hammer to change their shape. Not a great shot, but you can see the upper half of the main combiner at the left. To its right is the bandpass filter. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8dc83de880.png And then after the filter is the antenna switch: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cb8c73a23a.png |
