1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,000 it may not be the DIY more economical 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:11,460 environmental chamber that I asked for but with adjustable temperature and 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,960 humidity it'll allow us to simulate the environmental conditions just about 4 00:00:13,139 --> 00:00:19,560 anywhere on this beautiful blue orb and that's a good thing because if my tablet 5 00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:25,619 breaks then damn it I want it to be for a good 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,939 reason not because I had the audacity to live somewhere hot and tropical like 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,620 here's a good reason so I could get this segue to our sponsor 8 00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:38,160 out of it fresh books freshbooks simplifies accounting and bookkeeping 9

Chambers like this one are one of the most important pieces of 14 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:12,360 equipment in a manufacturer's Arsenal and the reason for that is even if 15 00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:17,939 they're not building a rugged device designed for Arctic expeditions 16 00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:22,320 even devices that are destined to spend their lives indoors can be subjected to 17 00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:26,759 vastly different environmental conditions I mean take something as 18 00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:31,140 simple as room temperature that is culturally dependent and room 19 00:01:28,619 --> 00:01:37,979 temperature can be as high as 28 degrees Celsius in Nigeria and minus 28 degrees 20 00:01:34,979 --> 00:01:41,060 Celsius in Europe in the winter in an 21 00:01:37,979 --> 00:01:44,520 energy crisis that is where the 22 00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:47,460 sch-512-4 comes in with our humidity 23 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:53,100 range extension option this bad boy will fit so much humidity 98 to be exact so 24 00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,600 it'll go all the way from 5 to 98 relative humidity meaning that we can 25 00:01:55,380 --> 00:02:01,799 simulate environments as demanding as southeast Asia where as we alluded to 26 00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:06,840 before Electronics failure rates can be as high as two to three times what you 27 00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:11,520 might find in a more moderate operating environment of course humidity is not 28 00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:16,560 the entire story and we want to talk about temperature as well this is a big 29 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:22,800 one because while humidity is going to affect a device's ability to work at all 30 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:25,980 or not work at all temperature could 31 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,319 affect its efficiency say a GPU for 32 00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:33,239 example I need a GPU whether it's something as small as finding that a 33 00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:38,099 particular GPU runs three percent slower in Texas than it does in Oregon or 34 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,519 something as big as finding that a mobile phone manufacturer has a big 35 00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:45,420 battery controversy on their hands because at low temperatures their 36 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:51,000 battery life Falls far lower than the competition this is going to help us 37 00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:54,120 root it out and while we might not be looking at the most interesting side of 38 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,080 it there are certainly some things we can talk about back here for starters 39 00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:03,239 there's power this bad boy calls for up to 40 amps of 208 volt single phase 40 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:09,180 power and Peaks at 8 000 Watts that allows it to go up or 41 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,140 down five degrees in temperature per minute that's all handled by the HVAC 42 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,500 system here which based on the size of the condenser could probably handle a 43 00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:21,659 small apartment if it didn't need to go up and down five degrees a minute moving 44 00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:25,500 down we've got another optional accessory or wait this can't be optional 45 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,680 is it like a bigger one or something that's the humidity control I guess if 46 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,140 you just want to do temper control you wouldn't need this right correct cool 47 00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:38,580 they make it very clear that you may not use deionized water you must use 48 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,099 demineralized water and I guess that's just to keep it from getting schmooed up 49 00:03:40,379 --> 00:03:48,180 inside or is that to do with the actual Vapor it'll be due to not getting schmut 50 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,900 up inside thank you our water up here it's nice and clean so hose it is not 51 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:55,980 really no this is this is where the liquid goes it looks like there's a 52 00:03:53,940 --> 00:04:00,299 small filter on it and then you hook it up to the water inlet right here which I 53 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,019 think we've got to open this up and have a look right like did we sign some kind 54 00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:07,799 of NDA for this thing double blue so okay cool yeah you know what's funny is 55 00:04:05,819 --> 00:04:12,659 you make your way from Etsy to consumer electronics to Scientific equipment as 56 00:04:10,019 --> 00:04:17,699 your price goes up the diy-ness curve kind of looks like this yeah yeah 57 00:04:15,260 --> 00:04:22,139 anywho it's the opposite of the Dunning Kruger curve all right here's our water 58 00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:27,120 inlet here's a something yeah it's insulated 59 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560 thanks so well there's some wires yeah 60 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,360 what this likely is is this is going to be the heater slash cooler for the 61 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,600 actual water for the humidity control in order to make sure that we hit an 62 00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:40,020 optimal temperature gradient right cool and then this looks like it's sleeved 63 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:46,800 like it might be a temp probe or something yeah those look like thermocouples cool this looks very hand 64 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:52,800 built I think they all are actually hand assembled yeah I mean yeah 65 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:56,520 ooh gn2 Purge yes we have a gaseous 66 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,979 nitrogen Purge which does 67 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:03,600 it gets everything that isn't nitrogen out of it oh I think it uses gaseous 68 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,540 nitrogen to purge right so that would get everything that isn't nitrogen out 69 00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:13,259 of it okay yeah not strictly speaking behind a door but 70 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,060 this is our desiccant system now what we 71 00:05:13,259 --> 00:05:18,900 just have to like keep refilling it with like desiccant crystals or I mean we 72 00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:24,300 have an apple Supply them Yo Logistics can you guys just save every desiccant 73 00:05:21,419 --> 00:05:28,320 package that you get from now on actually no this is a closed system we 74 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,020 shouldn't have to refill the desk again uh frequently by any means so how does 75 00:05:31,259 --> 00:05:39,180 it desiccate how does it desiccate well let me pull out this handy manual 76 00:05:37,259 --> 00:05:44,220 so uses this to control the humidity this is our air dryer yeah humidity it 77 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:48,660 delivers wet air doesn't excess Purge uh so it'll be part of the gn2 so I'm not 78 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:53,759 gonna have to like buy nitrogen cylinders and crap uh 79 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,020 that's a good question oh speaking of nitrogen cylinders one of the features 80 00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:03,120 of this chamber though I don't actually see any way to do it is that you can 81 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,759 hook up dry ice or liquid nitrogen to 82 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,280 vastly reduce your pull down time do you have any idea how that works our model 83 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:15,660 didn't come out with it with that however it is an optional add-on that we could talk with AES and get sent out oh 84 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,580 so yeah okay we we don't need it though 85 00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:20,699 five degrees per minute is pretty good and if you're complaining about a 86 00:06:19,259 --> 00:06:25,680 nitrogen tank you really want to store dry ice now from what I heard AES 87 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:29,720 included an Easter egg for you really they did oh I found it 88 00:06:30,539 --> 00:06:38,759 thank you honestly I assumed it was whatever was inside here but that's amazing 89 00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:41,280 um like shout out AES by the way I we 90 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:45,479 did pay for it right yes we have but I'm pretty sure we got a deal on it because 91 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:49,560 like so many scientific equipment manufacturers these guys are like wow 92 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,819 it's so cool someone other than a manufacturer is finally doing this and 93 00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:57,600 have uh decided to help us out which is really cool not just for us but also for 94 00:06:56,340 --> 00:07:03,419 all the consumers who are going to be more educated thanks to this gear that 95 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,240 is a lot of glass and this is really 96 00:07:03,419 --> 00:07:11,639 cool we actually got what is supposedly like filming grade glass or something so 97 00:07:09,539 --> 00:07:15,300 if you go on the other side David it should be no problem for us to film 98 00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:19,560 things that are inside the environmental chamber which to my understanding is not 99 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,880 a standard feature would they typically have no glass at all or they could have 100 00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:28,860 oh it would just happen it would just be a solid plate wow this seems like really 101 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:34,319 fancy like does this triple pained it's quadruple pained 102 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,419 now this is cool they've actually got oh 103 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:41,460 I guess this is just a grounding strip or something they've got these strips on 104 00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:45,599 the outsides of the glass that seem to be soldered to something 105 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:50,940 actually I think those might be the lights oh shut up there's lights so that way we 106 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,560 can film through once those lights are on it should be a clear picture through 107 00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:59,160 the glass that's so cool small correction apparently these might be 108 00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:04,199 heating strips because the glass is heated to prevent condensation from 109 00:08:01,259 --> 00:08:07,560 forming on it correct that's freaking cool yeah these guys went all out with 110 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,580 making sure we could actually film through here oh amazing now the kinds of 111 00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:16,680 things that we might end up filming then I think certain things are obvious like 112 00:08:13,620 --> 00:08:18,240 phones I mean you could do a whole Army 113 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,740 of phones like is that the kind of thing that we would do oh yeah I plan on 114 00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:26,819 having 25 devices under test at any given time for the most part so we're 115 00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:30,479 going to be able to have 25 devices in here all at the same temperature we'll 116 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,779 be able to record their battery drain at different levels now tell me something 117 00:08:32,099 --> 00:08:38,880 do you need to have them plugged in in order for you to record all that diagnostic data or everything Wireless 118 00:08:36,659 --> 00:08:42,620 everything over the network that's 119 00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:48,660 look in the back we have pass-through wait that stays open and it still stays 120 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,980 at the right humidity except shut up but there's holes yep I mean you would at 121 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,959 least plug them if you're not yes and of course the beefiest Environmental 122 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:04,860 they're foam so you can keep your cables them oh that's so cool this is the most 123 00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:06,720 satisfying squishy toy I want to ask 124 00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:11,459 them what this is made of so we can do like a stress ball for LTT Store feel it 125 00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:15,540 that looks like a neoprene composite this goes in here 126 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,680 probably on the outside for our user friendliness these will be especially 127 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:24,899 useful for categories of devices that cannot be operated wirelessly like say 128 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,600 for example a PC power supply the home for the environmental chamber is 129 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,519 actually going to be right next to our power supply testing unit so I think the 130 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,540 idea is that while we can't necessarily run efficiency tests while it's wait 131 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,100 yeah how are we going to do that because we'd want the cables to be the stock 132 00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:45,300 cables plugged into the PSU tester like is that going to reach 133 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:49,680 we're right next to it so yeah realistically we could 134 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:53,640 um but but I believe that we are going to have some longer cables from the 135 00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:57,899 chroma that'll plug in okay but then we wouldn't be able to evaluate efficiency 136 00:09:55,260 --> 00:10:02,399 at high temperatures we are going to be able to 137 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:03,540 um that's a good point Gaines is the 138 00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:08,820 mobile guy in the long term so realistically that's not going to be his problem but it is one that we are going 139 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,540 to have to solve because the efficiency of a power supply can be dramatically 140 00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:16,800 different at zero degrees compared to what it is at 40 degrees both of which 141 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,519 are perfectly realistic operating environments this makes sense then you'd 142 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:26,160 have your pass-throughs for the top shelf and your passengers for the bottom shelf and while you can put the Shelf 143 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,120 absolutely at any height that you want probably I suspect what we do is end up 144 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:34,500 with it kind of in the middle most of the time yeah I would say so you could 145 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:39,000 probably if we put a base plate down fit six laptops in here if you put them if 146 00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:43,200 you pivoted them 90 degrees yeah that could work so that way they're side facing would you get enough air 147 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,839 circulation if you had a solid itself though you wouldn't have to fully cover 148 00:10:44,339 --> 00:10:51,000 the shelf so you just make sure underneath the laptops it was flat 149 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:54,540 oh that's still getting dangerously not that real world because you know two 150 00:10:53,279 --> 00:11:00,120 inch buffer all the way around it you're fine it are you well let's find out well 151 00:10:57,959 --> 00:11:03,480 yeah I mean I guess we could test that and that's why we're here yeah right 152 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:08,880 okay fair enough I was told this could be used to test desktop computers not 153 00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:14,220 this stuff hold on see look perfectly normal gaming desktop doesn't 154 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:18,480 even fit in my environmental chamber Gary I know we just cut a little here oh 155 00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:25,940 my God yeah is that how you did things back at ASUS absolutely in all seriousness 156 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,880 though guys this is a much more typical mid-tower size computer 157 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:34,500 which is this a threadripper pro yeah is this 158 00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:39,899 new threadripper Pro what new 159 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:44,220 oh okay I thought it was like very new but tell me something this thing could 160 00:11:41,940 --> 00:11:47,459 easily be kicking a thousand fifteen hundred watts of heat out into the 161 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,420 chamber if we tell this thing cool it down we're probably not going to get 162 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,420 five degrees a minute out of it no so your pull down or your rise up rates are 163 00:11:53,040 --> 00:12:01,140 going to vary depending on what's actually in there sure you've got a thermal load right yeah sure empty five 164 00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:03,320 degrees per minute got it with this in here 165 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,820 oh I know what this is as1 connect we 166 00:12:09,779 --> 00:12:18,420 got an extra system that allows us to connect this thing to the network and 167 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:20,040 it'll log over a span of like years or 168 00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:22,740 something like that like every humidity every temperature how often does it log 169 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,700 do we know I don't know the exact polling rate but 170 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:33,480 it is I believe it's just logging all the time that is that is an incredible 171 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,500 oh my God yeah what the hell am I 172 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:41,160 looking at you weren't expecting that when you open it up were you I was expecting something but that's beautiful 173
