Hello

Your welcome Andy!

Thanks bud! Keep em coming....plans to pop capacitors today with the kids

Hi!! You're welcome ❤️

Love you Andy!

He was a beautiful soul, I miss his antics deeply.

thats so depressing, i miss him, what a loss :(

F

Will always remember his washing machine

Rest in peace Aussie50

he did it for a good reason tho

@@SpeedyStevesChimineySweeping how come?

@@Encrypt- had to get his wife into his country, it cost alot of money so he worked like a mad man for 4 years. theres a video about it on his channel check it out

He made a video on his departure and then his return, most definitely didn't drop us like a bad habit.

uhhh you really need to get a clue about the REASON he ‘dropped us like a bad habit’ because that’s very rude and 100% false. any good man would have done the same as Photon in his situation. very proud of the man, myself

Funny you should mention that, he did once have plans to build a fission reactor if I remember correctly... not sure what happened to it...

Beats a genset any time, lol.

Hi Norden

honestly

Don't know why but the combination of a nuclear reactor and photonic induction slightly worries me for some reason.

Nobody show Sam from LMNC, thinking about what he'd do with it scares me.

@@ruinsleepless9098 When I saw Photon using it this way, LMNC came to mind instantly :D

@@ruinsleepless9098 LMNC? Uhoh, am I missing out on something awesome here...

@@nicwilson89 Look Mum No Computer, Sam, he's an awesome musician, uses analog and modular synths, not to mention the absolute mad creations. Here on y-ou-tube, worth checking out.

@@ruinsleepless9098 Ohh, yeaaaaa I'm subbed to him. Didn't recognise it as an abbreviation haha, but yea I adore his channel as a musician and electronics nerd with a love of both weird creations and synth-y goodness. Thanks! :D

Having the goodies is one thing. Knowing what you can do with them and go past the limits without blowong yourself up, is another. :D

and where does he get all of this stuff from? and where does he get the money for all this stuff?

@@ih4t3u28 He is in the know so he has access to alot of goodies, or at the very least people that own the goodies

I'd love to hear a price estimate on his collection

Imagen this thing just tiny and working as a keychain.

When I got the notification I couldn't even remember who it was at first :)

The man's got fans for a reason. He don't mess around

Hi Peter. I also worked on many of these in the Marconi short-wavers... Best regards.

Until Windows 11 is forced down our throats and he puts his foot through it again.

i wonder what software hes using

​@@uK8cvPAqI'll take your word for it.

@@uK8cvPAq Don't install it if you don't need it.

@@willjohnsonjohnson right. Until Microsoft denies users still using Win10 and forces them to upgrade.

He let’s the things being demonstrated be the star of the show. No bullshit. No unnecessary waffling. No rushing. Just sharing a hobby and interest with the world.

@@EeekiE He didn't gain 100K by being pushy and playing games. Most youtube celebrities would lose that in 5 minutes if they stopped pandering and pushing and gaming the system, let alone fell off the face of the earth for 4 years

That's impressive!

The name sounds like one, too.

What happened to him? I think the same, I think I found Photonic through Aussie.

@@MrFang333333 Aussie50? Committed suicide.

@@MrFang333333 Aussie50 Took his own life, unfortunately :(

Frontsidebus is in the comments down below lol..

Aussie50 was and always will be one of my fave people. Just wish he knew that.

yeah, Seeing some of the OGs on there made me feel nostalgic

I've been watching all of his old videos in sequence when I have some spare time. I found Photonic's channel via Aussie50. RIP Ed Jones!

Loved Aussie an Aussie.myself and you can see.my pic

@@FrontSideBus Ayyy, its you! Haven’t seen ya in a while

He's got one or two of those, too, haha

Really puts the UV in VU meter

you definitely don't want this near your field of vision. the UV radiation from those thing are nasty.

@@MuhammadHanif-bx4pb True but only if it can pass through the glass. Ordinary glass blocks UV, so they use quartz glass on germicidal UV lamps and EPROMs for that reason.

And the whirring sound

Mercury leakage in the middle of the night?

@@zspacecaptain8228 trust that thing wont leak except you break it

Wondering the same... maybe use the output to some heavy material on a continuous feed for a "nearly unlimited" audio bandwidth(As far as human hearing goes) on the output of the mix. Heck if 2 inch was the Master Standard, think of a heavy bar of magnetic memory type materials in layers to capture the unique output characteristics of each material in the layer. Maybe the 30v layer could carry a digital pulsed signal across it with your analog across the mains. (think time-coding, midi, and any other time lock clocks to synch equipment?) or (furthermore maybe compressed forms of the medium?) Meh maybe nothing new here... but hey, to have a recording venue alight with all these tubes, would be wicked. Now these recordings would be played on a custom venue pa designed for the increased bandwidth of this recording medium to just use stupid amounts of power needlessly... just because it might sound cool. yee. Shrugs shoulders ...if= ...off to another tangent. If I had money I would try to build the worlds most unique music venue, weird, quirky and strange that the whole time off prime time of the "paid shows" people could sign up for time slots to just play and jam through the system at will with doors open and free as a art center to if you chose to hear random artists its free, if you want specific is pay because of having to pay the band. But again, the pay side would just be the support for the freedom of expression of art aside from big music, aside from server platforms... if no one is jamming you'd be able to just walk up plug in and jam with an on staff sound crew 24/7. Feel free to put your opensource music waves out into the ether. Feels good to dream.

I lost it at "Unidirectional digital input" meaning some dude giving the equipment a good thump.

Yeah, connected to his Megadrone !

Pro-s and Con-s of these old things: 1. So simple that it's robust as hell. 2. It does very well for the cheapness of the materials - a DIY version can outperform multi-million-dollar modern equipment 3. Horrible response speeds, horribly inefficient, tendency to be made of hazardous materials, difficult to ship or repair

@@dimitar4y ad 2: Cheap materials probably yes, but requires a metric sh!t ton of manual workmanship to be made. Was likely as expensive back then as a modern semiconductor solution today. And I would be very careful about claiming it outperforming a modern equipment - which is a huge lie, especially as this device in most situation could be replaced with something as simple as SCR (thyristor). That is a very robust semiconductor by itself.

@@Sixta16 Can you make a SCR thyristor in your home? HEC NO. Can you make a tube thing? Yes, easily. It doesn't require a "ton" of workmanship. It just requires a jar, some glass blowing equipment and a few pieces of metal. And yes, it will outperform modern equipment for a fraction of the material and production cost. However, it will be GROSSLY inefficient. But also awesome and robust.

@@dimitar4y Don't forget high vacuum equipment, I doubt these things work under a normal atmosphere. A cheap vacuum pump rarely works in these situations, you'll normally need either a diffusion pump or a turbo molecular pump, and neither are cheap

@@zebdeming what are you talking about lol go watch a cody episode. You can make a basic mercury high vacuum pump - just like they did it in the old days!! You think they had lasers and CNC machines back in those days? Don't underestimate the ingenuity of someone strapped for cash and just a stick for equipment!

Mercury rectifiers are also good for a villain's lair - fry the intruder with voltage, sunburn them with UV and then poison them with mercury if they break it

He talks as if you didn't listen or understand there would be severe consequences lol

His giggles are very villainous

Said every Hollywood producer about every British accent... Ever! But yeah, the London "cheeky chappy" accent does make you think he's got his fingers in many pies (and mash).

@@blkmgk16 He's an electrician. If you don't, there just might be

So true man..... that was awsome...

Seems like the perfect control valve for a tesla coil

@@theelmonk i’d be curious how fast you could actually switch one of these exactly for stuff like that

It'll look very awesome in a tesla setup. (assuming the tesla fields wont screw with the excitron)

I could imagine LookMumNoComputer incorporating some of these things into his set.

I was thinking the same thing.

***MMM MERCURY RAVE***

@@EeekiE I could imagine him building a giant version, like turning his living room into a Mercury Arc Rectifier with electrodes coming in the windows, with him sloshing around the liquid metal while blue spectral emissions are bouncing off his head.

I clear my calender.

Haha. I do the same. 🤣

Same here!😂 and when things are not working out properly I also add “I ain’t havin it!”😂

@@chrisfarrell7309 His accent is half the fun really

I keep saying "wherz me fuckin' beah" when I can't find my beer

Followed by "aaahm nor'ravvin it!!"

Photon owns a company, and did (does?) a lot of stuff relating to lighting. His hobby of working with stuff just kind of progressed into breaking things electrically on KZfaq - and it turns out a lot of people really enjoy seeing things let the smoke out. He's always taught safety and stuff in his videos - and I really appreciate that a long ways compared to similar tubers who do not teach safety or *cough* pretend to touch HV equipment.

@Ghost Heart In the intro where everyone from 8 years ago who had a KZfaq channel sent in a picture - Aussie50 was one of the original vloggers.

@Ghost Heart He was another youtuber that was all about content and chaos. None of this popularity or monetization BS. Sadly, he succumbed to depression and exited this world.

@Ghost Heart well and a few hacks make it better. For example if you've got underpowered tool that can take the power upgrade the motor. Got it all puny not-so-good vacuum going around use it in the shop for dust collection and power takeoff! But may not necessarily be broken but could be repurposed into something better or maybe make it better in some way more suited to your use. Such as adding circuitry to a plain old dumb fan to make it work with say a smart speaker or other smart device even though it was not broken in the first place you fixed it and made it better that ever was so that could really be you fixing something that's not broken depending on how you look at it

the motto here is: if it aint broke, pop it!

@Ghost Heart it's an old joke, I think your the one without a wife lol.

@@Drhumbolt and you’re* the one who didn’t finish primary school, apparently

@@ARSZLB ooo good one lol Also were is your capitalization, and you forgot a period at the end of your sentence, plus you started a sentence with and, common.

...But does it chooch? Oh, sorry, wrong channel...
