From Transistors To Tetris Part 1 : Computer Architecture
My dad was an TV repair technician. I would watch with fascination when he would take apart televisions and radios and see the circuit boards that brought these inanimate objects to life. Here’s a YouTuber who is doing something similar (kind of) I’ve been building a 1970’s era computer out of discrete transistors for the […]

A YouTuber builds a working ionic thruster. Why? I have two answers. One, why not? and Secondly, for Beltalowda! In my attempt to answer that – I built a next-gen ionic thruster, and only shocked myself about a dozen times in the process. Thank you to Steven Barret at MIT for providing his airplane footage, […]

Making Commodore 64 Software In 1983
The Commodore 64 is where I learned to code. In this archival video, learn how software development has changed (and hasn’t) in the past 40 years. From my archives – this excerpt from my 16mm print of the 1983 film “Making It Young” about young Canadians who are making their own way in the world. […]

How good can a new $60 oscilloscope actually be?
Adrian’s Digital Basement reviews a $69 oscilloscope I routinely get viewers asking me for a cheap solution to help them fix old machines, so I decided to buy a Hantek 6022BE USB oscilloscope and see if it’s actually sable. When I purchased it from AliExpress, it was just $60 shipped. Let’s see if this thing […]

Another great video about the ESP32 and its power saving modes. I need to dust off my soldering iron. We all know that we send our ESP32s to deep sleep to save energy. But do you know the other possibilities to save energy like light sleep and clock reduction? And what about modem sleep or […]

I have often wondered why use batteries and not supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are super like Superman or Superwoman. Otherwise, they only would be called “Capacitors.” Right? Where are they “super” and where not? Where can we use them, and how? And the most important question: Are they better than batteries?

In this video, GreatScott! takes a closer look at a commercial 5V USB portable solar power charger. After measuring its output power and pretty much “short reviewing” the product, I will try to make my own DIY version that should cost around the same while outputting more power! Let’s get started!
