content: As mentioned on today's live show, I want to get off my lazy arse and make more EEVdiscover episodes.I already have a list of some places I want to visit, but if there is something/somewhere you want me to visit then please suggest it. Especially if you have contacts at these places and/or know of people you know will be good on camera explaining stuff.Obviously it needs to be in Australia, overseas is just out of the question at the moment.I'm after interesting technology related things that would appeal to a broader audience than regular EEVblog viewers.Thanks.

content: Just tried to get access to a potentially cool place nearby, but was denied for security reasons, they don't permit filming or visits to their control room.I check their Youtube channel and they have a video showing their control room and a tour by a bunch of engineering students

content: I might be biased but things that cross biology with electronics would be interesting for me, although possibly they are a bit too "researchy" still for a wide audience. For instance things likeA tour through a Cochlear factory would be interesting (but unlikely!)A look at a decent Nanofab lab - similar techniques to PCB fab but some very high resolution fabrication techniques using lasers and electron beams. (We have Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication here which you may have seen across the car park from the Synchrotron, but looking at theANFF websitethere is a NSW branch too, so there might be something near you)Anybody in Sydney doing 3D bioprinting?

content: Quite some time ago I posted an article here on the work of an Australian (Sydney) scientist who is using precise timing to decipher nerve impulses, hopefully leading to new prothesis that allow "paralyzed" people to feel and hopefully, walk again. I am interested in the interface of electronic to the human body. How does it work, how does it know what to do. I'd like to know how that resaerch is oming along and how it works. Can regugar people use commodity off the shelp equipment to use neuroal nets in their human computer interfacing?I want to figure out to what's invoved in using to use this technology.https://www.northernprosthetics.com.au/https://theconversation.com/brain-machine-interfaces-are-getting-better-and-better-and-neuralinks-new-brain-implant-pushes-the-pace-120562

content: I have an invite to film at the Siding Spring observatory Dubbo that should be very interesting.Because it takes some getting there and back, I thought I'd fly in and base myself in Dubbo for a week and make an EEVdiscover "series" of videos.So I'm looking for interesting technical places (or companies?) a drivable distance from Dubbo.On the list so far, apart from the SSO, but I haven't contacted them yet are:Siding Springs Obversatory.Australia telescope compact array at NarrabriMOPRA telescopeWellington Solar farmThe Dish at ParkesSuggestions welcome!

content: I'm into audio since I was a kid. You have at least some amount of tube amp builders in your giant country, I have no idea if any are reasonably close to where you are.Also, there is a company named Burson who makes well-regarded headphone amplifiers mostly (or completely) based on op-amps. Might be worth taking a tour and would definitely be worth hearing your opinion on their builds.

I looked for videos on Internet Archive and such found nothing.An inquiring mind wants to know.THANKS for all you have done.

content: Hands on test drive of the EV that changes everything? It sounds and acts like a ICE car, the first in the world that tricks a drivers mind into believing they are driving a ICE car. Only possible, as it senses the road 2500 times a second.....and transfers that outside Analogue, into a Digital world.....heck what a car.

That's why I care. All good, nice forum. I love it, I'll leave you aloneCheers

content: Quote from: BarrowBoy on July 15, 2024, 02:42:25 pmYou can care and enjoy that sort of stuff, that's great, but don't be surprised when others don't get so excited over a bit of software that makes an EV sound and feel like an ICE car. I don't see how it "changes everything".As an EV owner, I don'twantmy EV to sound louder or jerk as if it's changing gear or whatever. I specifically bought an EV because I like the silence, I like the smooth instant acceleration. If I want an ICE car experience I'll buy an ICE car.

content: There may already be one, but my efforts to search didn't discover it.. I was hoping to find a video that showcased the EEVBlog multimeter case. Showing how the various EEVBlog-branded meters fit in the case, demonstrating the remaining room with each meter for various leads/accessories, etc. Then you could add the video link and some screenshots to the store page
