Over 50 videos and articles of high voltage, high power equipment that is taken apart and shown what is inside and how it works! X-RAY, UPS etc
The laser scanner and photomultiplier tube assembly made out a good chunk of the weight. The laser and scanner assembly is very heavy. It is on rubber mounts and is a sturdy unit built to minimize any kind of external vibrations. This is the teardown video of the laser scanning module, part 3. Teardown of

During my vacation at the island of Langeland, Denmark, I found a washed up radioprobe from a German weather balloon on the beach. It is a Vaisala RS41-SGP single use instrument in a styrofoam enclosure that can measure air temperature, humidity, pressure, speed and direction. It uses a STM32F100 microcontroller as the heart of the
