One of the snow machines went bang and we were trying to locate the area of an elusive fault. Since it's hired equipment I can only go so far unless the hire company approves further exploration, but the fault may be tracking between live and neutral on the mains input on the PCB (it does have small anti-tracking slots), a local MOV or the main blower motor, although I don't think it's an issue.
These snow machines are slightly bizarre. They have clearly had a lot of development work put into them, including a custom round PCB with a very chunky transformer and suitable DMX decoding hardware. The main blower is housed in large drainage pipe with the fluid reservoir formed from equally large drainage pipe, then the whole lot is encased in a rolled stainless steel housing.
If you enjoy the channel you can help support it with a dollar for coffee, cookies and things that go bang at:-

Ok, I heard a pretty clear Roblox oof in there. Anyone else?
Let's just bridge across this big, beefy capacitor first.
Do more tattoo video PLEASE!
love how calmly you say righty'o
awww poor camera woman 😂😂😂
more fire than ice these days
Great diagnostics – plug it in 'n' look for the brown/smelly bits.
Reminds me of the days when I was repairing radar detectors. They'd come in with intermittent faults caused by vehicular vibration and everyone else would shy away from them (let's face it, intermittent faults are never a joy to work on).
My solution was to whack the device as forcefully as possible onto the bench, thereby either rectifying the fault or making it a permanent fault (which is inherently easier to locate and diagnose).
What do you think of the newer Speakon style power connector? Personally I like them because they lock. This keeps my PA cabinets and the amps from getting unplugged. They do make a separate connector just for power which is grey instead of the normal blue which is for speaker interconnects. The geometry of the plug is different so you can't plug a speaker directly into the wall. People trip on cords if they aren't properly gaffed down. These save me having to tie knots in cords…
Ya let the magic smoke out!
righty-o
"Definitely from the bottom, myes~ <3 " is what it sounds like at 0.5.
HAHAHA fireworks from the bottom, reminds me of one of your other videos.
