Brake fluid tester - test and teardown
Today, let's test a donated brake fluid tester. It tests a brake fluid for water content. Glycol based brake fluid is hygroscopic and thus it deteriorates by absorbing moisture. This tester indicates the water content in the brake fluid using 5 LEDs (0 - 4%). Let's test it, check its accuracy and see what's inside.

FIXIN
fixing-a-broken-laptop-hinge
Repairing a broken hinge of a laptop. I'm absolutely no expert on laptops :). Quick fix botchwork, you can as well call it "how not to fix a laptop" if you prefer. Gluing back and reinforcing the brass inserts (with inner thread for screws) that came loose out of the plastic. Trying the super glue and baking soda method.

433MH
433mhz-rf-wireless-modules-from-ebay
Exploring some wireless communication transmitter and receiver modules from eBay. They operate at 433.92 MHz RF frequency. Some tests, oscilloscope measurements, schematics and how do they work. Correction: dBm means decibel milliwatts, not decibel meters, but the abbreviation easily leads to confusions.

WHAT'
what's-inside-a-server-power-supply
Today let's make a quick unedited teardown of a serious switching power supply, probably for some server or high performance computer. It supplies 12.25V / 175A and 56V / 10A. That's about 2.7kW total output power.

Today, let's compare a good quality safe USB charger with a dangerous charger and an even more dangerous charger :). Let's see what's inside, including schematics and how do they work. Only use good phone chargers, don't get electrocuted.

SIMPL
simple-yet-safe-5v-switching-power
I'm reverse engineering the schematic of a very simple 5V switching power supply (probably a phone charger) and describing how does it work. It's a super simple single transistor design, but it has a proper fusible resistor, EMI filter and a very good isolation, so it looks safe and compliant.

SSTC
sstc-pt.-7-the-miller-effect-reverse
Today, let's see what's a reverse transfer capacitance of IGBT and MOSFET transistors and the Miller effect. Let's do some more oscilloscope measurements in my Solid State Tesla Coil. I use a halfbridge of IGBT transistors (AOK60B65H2AL) driven by IR2153 chip via 15 ohm resistors. Let's see how the Miller capacitance affects the gate waveforms.

TWO D
two-different-30w-ac-mains-voltage-leds
Today, let's take a look at two different types of LEDs rated directly for AC mains voltage. It comes in 110V version (also runs on 100V / 115V / 120V) and 220V version (also runs on 230V / 240V). No power supply or LED driver is needed. Let's test them, compare the efficiency with the best mains voltage LED I've found so far and of course let's also reverse engineer the schematic with the help of my cat :).

"DIY"
diy-usb-power-bank-(6x-18650-li-ion)
How to build a DIY PowerBank with 6x 18650 Li-Ion cells using a kit. Ebay sellers call this Power Bank kit "DIY" because it comes with no batteries :). You have to put your own 18650 Li-Ion cells in it. For just $2.70 including shipping still not bad.
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries and power banks can catch fire or explode! Risk of fire, injury and burns. You do everything at your own risk and responsibility.
