In The Lab With Jay Jay – October 16, 2023 – Demo of the ALKOY Capacitor Discharge Pen

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

The bench multimeter I use in this video is my OWON XDM1041 and the bench power supply is my RIDEN RD6006.

The demo circuit used a 1KΩ 1/4W resistor, a 25V 330μF electrolytic capacitor, and an 18V supply.

In The Lab With Jay Jay – September 7, 2023 – Unboxing AliExpress TE-801 Third Hand With Magnifier

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I unbox two “different” helping hands (AKA “third hand”) only to discover they are the same TE-801 model.

I purchased these separately on AliExpress:

They are exactly the same product so if you’re planning to purchase might as well get the cheapest option. Note that the first link above also has a separate more expensive option which is actually a different product, I didn’t get one of those.

In addition to unboxing these third hands I also add some 4mm heat shrink to the alligator clips to take the bite out of the teeth.

Note: in this video I have the annoying habit of calling “heat shrink”, “shrink wrap”. The correct term is heat shrink, shrink wrap is a different type of thing.

The hot air gun I use is a part of my Horusdy Soldering Station.

The batteries I use are Duracell AAA batteries.

My gloves are:

In The Lab With Jay Jay – August 11, 2023 – Unboxing of NBD Camera

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I unbox my new NBD Camera. It’s cheap and terrible. I mounted it with an Arkon Wall Mount. In a future video I will demo my new camera setup. After we’ve done that we will replace the batteries in my friend’s hair trimmer. Riveting stuff! Stay tuned!

Note: I was confused while making this video, I thought the camera was a “HBD” camera, but it’s an “NDB” camera, and you will see me getting that wrong. Not a super important detail…
