Mpph truly exquisite

The craziest (or maybe most coincidental ) thing about this video, is I literally just bought THAT _exact_ same sprinkler for our yard this year. I chose it because its' the only one I found that was made of metal parts, vs so many sold nowadays made from plastic. I felt it would stand the test of time vs the plastic ones. However, our direct neighbors do have a couple of the plastic ones, and here's what I immediately noticed: The plastic ones spine SO MUCH faster than ours, (the metal one). And I wondered why that was... Well, know I know. Metal weighs substantially more than plastic, which means the water will have less force on the metal one, meaning slower clickity-clickity-clickity and slower bap-bap-bap-bap-bap-bap to the return position. I know I know --> "cool story bro", but I just thought, what are the chances that I just bought the exact same sprinkler, considering I've never seen this brand/model prior-to my purchase. 😁

It's kinda scary how i passed this whole morning wondering how do these work

M4st3r04 I know right. Now I can never unsee it.

I should have been sleeping a few hours ago, but of course I must go through the updated channels in my list first. Nahuatl, sprinklers, drum memory, miniature painting... you know the drill.

I wonder if suburban townships probably have to have huge water pumps to power all these things. Energy ain't free and when you have thousands or 10s of thousands of these things all running at the same time the whole water system is losing pressure. Collectively across an entire county or even state, these things must consume an enormous amount of energy, not to mention water.

@@maighstir3003 drum memory this has peaked my curiosity, now i must find out what it is

@@christo930 yea they are called gravity fed water towers

@@christo930 Most cities and such with pump fed city water tend to regulate when you can use various types of lawn sprinklers. In my city, or township, actually, if you have in ground sprinklers, you are only supposed to use them between 11PM and 6AM on even/odd days of the week matching your (even/odd) address number. I suppose because they figure the stake kind are using less water per time, they are allowed whenever you like.

Paper clips are more nuanced than people give then credit

I've always observed that, depending on how the loops of the paper clip and the paper are sandwiched, the paper clip has more or less grip. Unless we're talking about those binder clips, which have a grip so strong, I use them to seal potato chip bags because the ones advertised for actual potato chip bags are never strong enough for whatever reason.

Accused sounds negative. How about proclaimed?

A girlfriend once asked me a question about something she was curious about, and since she knew me, she said, "and I don't want a four page dissertation, just a short explanation." Then, I imagine because she was trying to think of the most boring topic she could think of as an example, she added, "nobody wants to listen to a lecture on concrete." But of course concrete is a really interesting topic, so I gave her a two sentence explanation of that first!

I don't think kids do that enough anymore. Disassembling mechanical objects can be a great way to learn about them. I get the urge to do it all the time as a half century old adult, usually I fight it though because it comes when I buy some neat expensive electronic item.

"But I became an electrical engineer. " Son: 1 Mom: 0 🤣🤣🤣

CRTs, microwaves, a CB radio, lighting fixtures, audio amplifiers... I always had fun and learned a little something when tearing down a machine or device.

The problem is, most electronics these days are just a single circuit board with some generic looking connections... there isn't the same amount of complexity that older electronics had. Or, the devices are a single, consolidated unit that does so much, that parents can't justify the expense or inconvenience of allowing it to be disassembled, and/or it's very sleek and extremely difficult to disassemble these days compared to older and more expansive equipment.

A rain gauge performs mechanical integration, just as an electronic capacitor does with charge (which is why they're also named integrators). Laboratory flasks perform amplification by having narrowing throats. A conical champagne glass does the same the other way around (half the height remaining is one eighth the volume, going from linear to 3D analogous to the square-cube law). Plenty of examples if you don't actively dismiss them.

@@0LoneTech You are absolutely correct and using the term integration while mentioning capacitors also sets a nice link to analog, electronic computers.

Me too. Forward oscillation was easy enough, but figuring out how the same parts could also run backward took a bit of thinking. And the tough part about un-sticking them was getting out of the way before they got to the quick return part of the cycle.
