content: Well, go for it! Let's have a blow-up Wednesday!There is no shortage of cheap DMMs out there.Get something that can deliver 2000V continuous & pulsed 12,000V (without blacking out the whole neighbourhood) and Bob's your uncle.

content: Well done DaveYou make it look easy but I'm sure it's not. Thanks for all the hard work.Quote from: Wytnucls on January 31, 2013, 12:19:10 pmI think Big-Bang Sunday would cover more basesAnyway, back to work on my video of cute kittens watching on as a pair of large breasts lactate chocolate then explode - in a non-destructive way of course. I call it Chocolate Kitten Big Breast Bang

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 31, 2013, 11:11:46 am3 step plan to solve that :- sell test equipment and electronics related stuff- buy kitten- post pictures of kitten.we need more kitten playing with resistors or circuit boards.here you go : if this doesn't speed things up i don't know what will. (technically it's not a kitten but a stuffed tiger welp i got at Devcon yesterday from the Samtec connector guys, but hey you gotta give me credit for trying...)

content: Don’t you worry Dave hard working people have never got what they deserve in this world, but I can tell you right now those people who watched that 10 million times have watched YOU and learn something from you and have respect for you, you can’t say that about others who post boobs or kittens.

content: I've found the EEVBlog trough youtube, at first I watched a couple videos, interested, and then... Mass downloaded at least 50 episodesFew possibilities I've seen talked here around, kitten... Perhaps I've seen once a cat in one of Dave's videos, I might be hallucinating, or it might be something coming out realOn the High Voltage / Blowup thing... I must admit, it would be fun to sometimes see an episode (or an ending, Mythbusters docet) with some kind of blowup inside. Funny, yes, but also perhaps dangerous. I don't know exactly what spectators this blog has, but I can imagine it is watched by a sort of mature audience, whom would know what to do when they see some thingsBut, on the same other side, some disclamers would have to be inserted for those that might go try certain things perhaps... unwisely.And on another side, I don't know much how Australian regulations handle such things. I've built a couple Tesla coils, and here in Italy regulations are there but not extremely strict. Reading on other boards, it seemed to me AU laws were a bit stricter than ours.

content: Quote from: nitro2k01 on February 12, 2013, 11:37:05 amYeah, those soldering videos have really ramped up in last 6 months or so. It's the Youtube keyword algorithm working in it's usual mysterious ways by somehow now rating those videos higher up the search food chain.Similar thing happens to Afrotechmod's videos for example. His videos are great, but you gotta wonder how a MOSFET tutorial video gets 1.1M views. I didn't even know there were that many people in the world who would be interested in that!Yet other great detailed content might get no views because it never gets ranked anywhere in Youtube's fickle wisdom.Dave.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 31, 2013, 11:59:35 amBlowing caps video was fun. But this is fun only once.Quote from: EEVblog on January 31, 2013, 11:59:35 amFive of your top ten videos are tutorials about basics. Soldering, setting up a lab and very useful PCB design video. We all love your rants, tear downs and everything else. But those videos won't make us better at electronics. IMHO that mosfet tutorial shows where the "market" needs are.Your power supply, dummy load or dc-dc converter videos are also near the top. That what I would love to see. Simply don't forget about hobbyists. More tutorials, even about boring basics, like how to choose a transistor for a project. How to build something, like a power supply. Not only "grab an lm371 and transformer" but everything, including mains wiring to a transformer and drilling holes in an enclosure.Personally I would like to see more useful equipment like your constant current and power supplies. For example small generators or amplifiers for different types of sensors. I love those videos because you show completed device and also describe in detail design steps and how it works. That gives me a ton of knowledge and I can create something on my own.And since I'm writing about your projects. Finish your PSUs please.
