Once again a great job! About your search for nanoparticles I too could find nothing. However, nanofluids are all the rage now in high end custom loops using a variety of different elements. You would however need to agitate the fluid to stop the particles from falling out of suspension. Hope you find what you're looking for!

Sadly, Black Screen: Hold my lens. uslikes.info/house/k6mRtpuw1n6NoMw/video.html They seriously built a tiny projector into their phone. If you can't see the insane potential this has, you're taught by a rock. Especially in modern days, the development of the phone and old tech being shrunk and perfected all the time means we have so much potential to use it for pretty much everything. And unfortunately With great power comes great possibilities. And corrupt opportunists will always take gain over morals.

Hey could you please put captions on your videos or at least turn on auto captions? This video has been sitting in my Watch Later since it came out because I can't watch it since I'm deaf. Captions would make your videos accessible to not only deaf people but people who are hard of hearing or have auditory processing difficulties. Thanks!

The greatest idea: add a door sensor to some of the panels if you have an alarm system! I mean, one on the monitor and one over the raised part of the motherboard, and nobody can steal any of the pc parts without it registering on the alarm system

@12:00 he says "Earlier I provisionally added some wires to the control board's speaker output, so that these sockets could be easily hooked up to the boards internal amplifier allowing the drivers to just be clipped in place when required." Diagram please or video showing and explaining, I'm kind of new to this. But my father in law has a machine shop that I can use whenever I'd like to use. So was that just something you wanted to keep how to do to yourself sir? Now I have a touch screen monitor I attached to my PS5 and I don't know where to wire and attach the speakers to. This is supposed to be a D.I.Y project, I can't D.I.M.S if I don't know how to connect the speakers as you did, I hope you left a wiring diagram in the description for us. Other than that brilliant, beautiful, and very useful. I keep 2, 10,000 mAh battery banks ready which actually allowed me to get 12 hours of continuous use once the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra battery life 🔋 was depleted. Including the internal Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra battery and the 2 battery banks I got from Wal-Mart for $9.99 each, I would say with the screen turned on without speakers (because someone didn't tell us how to connect the wires to the board's internal amplifier) I get about 13 1/2 hours of continuous use because I use my Pulse 3D Wireless Headset with my PS5. Would be great if you could have added a BT (Bluetooth) feature so we could connect to Bluetooth speakers and have surround sound. I watch movies on my PS5 also in true 4K!

People saying that they should just get a dedicated video camera instead of photo camera that has a video feature - no. This camera was coined as groundbreaking for its 8K recording feature - a feature that is broken. Saying people should buy another product is ludicrous when this product was advertised and intended for 8K video recording. I for one would not buy this camera for its recording capabilities alone; however, if I was looking for a stills camera capable of recording high quality video - it would have turned my head. I wish people would stop making excuses for companies delivering broken promises. It only fuels the idea that it’s okay to give us poorly designed products at a premium-designed price.

how do you cut wood pieces
James King15 hours ago
Part of the reason the metal case on the power supply is to contain the magnetic fields within the power supply from leaking into the main circuit board. Because the size of the inductors are large and the spacing is close the magnetism will magnetize other components within close range. This also will take these magnetizing eddy fields and essentially ground them away from critical circuits. It would be wise to put a metal shield on top to essentially keep the original design. This can be done using a metal shield glued to the plastic and put over the top of the supply. Just wanted to share in case your circuit board started behaving funny.

Feedback: I am on the middle of making 6 of these panels. For the most part the instructions here are good. BUT, DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO SEW 6 TOWELS TOGETHER. Trying to push a needle and thread through that much material is literally painful. Instead, I am gluing them together with spray adhesive. So far I have found 3M 77 Spray Adhesive to be excellent. And I give Gorilla Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive a score of 'very good'. Also, you will need dozens of towels to make a bunch of these like me. I posted in a local Facebook "Buy Nothing" group and got them all donated to me for free (just make sure you wash them all).

2:35 : It's not, it's why you should not use these for long, continuous recordings like live-events. Video-camera's (even the ENG-style ones) still very much have their place, even though some of the really hardcore "I want cinematic bokeh in my shots!"-people really want you to believe otherwise (completely ignoring shoulder mount ENG-style camcorders are still very much a thing in the broadcast industry). People should really stop thinking they have a videocamera when all the videofunction really is is something that people should consider to be an extra, a luxury that the camera has not been designed around. If you would see the amount of cooling on even a single CMOS-videocamera sensor (let alone a 3-CMOS camera) it's so clear why photocamera's-with-a-video-function suffer from heat issues.

I really like your videos - especially ones like this with some novelty functionality. BUT it's very bad advice to use something highly conductive like brass as a DIY housing as it's just way to easy to short some connections and destroy all your electronics with that. So, please - people at home - use MDF or whatever plastics you like to recreate this, just don't use brass/aluminium or some other metal and destroy your weekend dreams with it!

Umm honestly, DIY Perks, good job, but i was wonder if there was perhaps a way to find a 5Volt trace on the "screen controller" and use that to charge the battery? I have a feeling like you tried it, but it maybe impacted the screen performance? If not, then im happy to hear your feedback! Great video.

I wonder if this would work on a mouse like the gpw charging port. Obivously it could be soldered but i wonder if it would still charge and be regonized by logitech. Maybe damage since it wasnt designed for type c. Guess a magnetic connected cable is the next best thing.
