This video just tied lots of things up and quite frankly rambled all over the place.
You can now buy me cake and things to take apart at:- https://www.patreon.com/bigclive
I finally destroy the potted module from the green bodied rechargeable LED floodlight. Pop the lid on both its chargers, do a thermal test on one of them and also do a thermal test on the cute little ยฃ3 10W LED floodlights.
I explain the purpose of setting up a Patreon account, which is primarily to buy more (bigger) stuff to take to bits. And encourage patrons not to put in too much. A dollar or two is fine. We've already clubbed together enough to buy a cheap Chinese moving head disco light to take apart.

    I actually talked to Bob Dremel once to get advice on how to fix a really early motor/grinder. He was retired in Palm Springs but still wanted to help me repair the speed control because it was one of the first production models ever made. Super nice guy.

    Tsk Clive, the voltage of a nominal 12v car system will be 14.4v when the engine is running. If it's as low as 13.8v, either the alternator is failing, or it's a very old car with a dynamo, and you have all the electrics switched on with the engine only idling ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Your videos inspired me to make my own electronic workbench and thanks to a tax favour in my direction, I was able to spend around $800.00 on tools and DIY projects for soldering practise and troubleshooting when they fail, stuff starts arriving on the 16th I am so excited.

    How about taking apart a dollar store fm radio a clipping the coil shorter to increase the received frequency of the radio to about 145 mhz.

    Lithium metal oxidises extremely rapidly in air, in particular if it is wet. The thin layer on the electrodes would be totally reacted in less than a second.

    PS> What is the seller or search params for the little 10W light?
