I made a liquid metal ion thruster so you don't have to ☺️ (it was very difficult 😩)

Sigh. Think it's time to learn how to use stencils and solder paste

I keep hearing AI can edit videos well. Look inside: > 95% talking head narration of podcast > jump cut, jump cut, jump cut > punch zoom every 10s > giant streaming captions Meh? Wake me when it can actually edit 100hrs of b-roll, five audio tracks and multiple takes

And I say that as someone that would love to let the clankers do a rough edit for me! That step takes ages and is super tedious. But right now all the hype feels like AI influencer grifters excited about poorly-edited podcast footage🫤

My experience trying to get a sensitive photodiode + TIA working: 1. photons get into everything 2. connections need to be approximately 0mm long to keep noise to a minimum. Better yet make the lengths imaginary just to be safe. 😐

Hey friends! I made possibly the world's smallest animatronic eye? Fun little engineering project, full of custom electromagnetic actuators! Small things are hard! youtube.com/watch?v=GbcN0bPs…

Crazy that we live in a time to watch a (presumably hostile) satellite interception from ground telescopes. COSMOS is within a few km of ICEYE here. 😬 Gorgeous footage though!

Short time-lapse of part of this morning’s first pass of ICEYE-X36 (59103) and COSMOS 2612 (68762) over South America under partly cloudy skies.

Ads rates vary hugely across niches. I don't know anything about trading cards, but I assume videos monetize well In contrast, science/engineering can be quite low. I have 580k subs. This video is 20min long, 2.5m views. $6k revenue over two years Not all channels make bank 😐

This is not specifically about jaiden but YouTube pays way more than most YouTubers would want you to know. I have like 12k subs and the revenue covers my rent/food etc. this is not a brag post, please never feel compelled to give money to YouTubers outside the ad revenue.

Not taking pot shots at anyone fwiw! Happy to see fellow creators making a good living! Just wanted to raise awareness that everyone is not automatically a Mr Beast billionaire just because they have a YT channel and a few successful videos.

Alright I think this revision actually has a chance of working. Limited angle torque motors ftw! Now to add a hall sensor and repeat the whole mess for the second coil/axis.

This is neat. Electrostatic so needs high voltage (2-3kV) and not very strong. But simple, flexible and can probably be scaled down more which would benefit the physics Looks more practical than other electrostatic motors I've seen. youtube.com/watch?v=lANIMRoO…
