Took it about 30 seconds for this one write me a song about the large hadron collider Sure! Here's a song about the Large Hadron Collider: Verse 1: There's a machine so massive, it spans the Swiss-French border It's called the Large Hadron Collider, and it's like no other It's a particle...

Now this is freaky. I posed the same question as last night regarding my headlights burning holes in other cars. Again, this system only has access to its existing database. First is the question from last night, then below it from today: Last night me: why do my headlights burn holes in other...

Its getting into scary the way the answers are given. Im not sure in passing and a quick chat that I would be able to tell the difference between it and human. It even will write you poetry. me: tell me a poem about lasers ai: Lasers, beams of pure energy Shooting through the air with such...

Playing around with ai chat, and am quite surprised by a database that has no internet search capability. Its worth a try for serious and stupid questions. Heres the link and a few of questions I posed to it. https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/ you have to register* me: why do my headlights...

Why? In the spirit of the OP and my followup post suggesting "experimentation". The question was not of which is better, have a look back it will make more sense. Not everybody has experience in these things we all start off with many questions, some enjoy discovering the answers.🍺

"inefficient" how so? you dont have to add any circuitry. No zeroing and can be used with any voltmeter within rating. LED's can take a beating of optical power as well. To each his own I guess. "really weird" that tends to be where great things happen.

I have two compulsions, the other is license plates. :sneaky:

Pardon me whilst I run with your typo 🍺😋

Watched this the other night, that guy's nose is broken lol Hes got some really interesting content though 🤿

@5A the diode will have a vf of approx 4.8v (see below pic from dtr). One of the key points of constant current regulation is to not exceed the current under any condition. Now if you were using a constant voltage driver and it was capable of exceeding the max current of the diode, you run into...

As Mike mentioned above "try it". Id start by looking for a signal that detects the radiant heat from your hand a few inches away. Next you will have to figure out an optically absorbent coating, but pay no mind to that until you figure out step one. You also have to consider how much mass is...

haha Thats not a collection... thats an addiction. Very nice 🍺😋

A few options, you could clear coat or get an at home gold plating kit. Other than that a can of Brasso to remove tarnish as they age and are handled. *Edit: A thin coating of mineral oil, linseed oil, or WD-40 Multi-Use can be effective in preventing tarnishing.

No problem.. best of luck with it. 🍺

Depends how much epoxy was used in the first place. You have to unscrew the module in the front where the diode sits so that you just have an empty tube with leads from the driver, then heat and start working at it. Warm it up with a hairdryer to soften but nut burn up anything. From there its a...
