WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.000 it may not be the DIY more economical 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:11.460 environmental chamber that I asked for but with adjustable temperature and 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.960 humidity it'll allow us to simulate the environmental conditions just about 00:00:13.139 --> 00:00:19.560 anywhere on this beautiful blue orb and that's a good thing because if my tablet 00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:25.619 breaks then damn it I want it to be for a good 00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:29.939 reason not because I had the audacity to live somewhere hot and tropical like 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.620 here's a good reason so I could get this segue to our sponsor 00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:38.160 out of it fresh books freshbooks simplifies accounting and bookkeeping 00:00:36.180 -->

00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:48.260 first four months 00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:00.140 environmental Chambers are one of the most is 00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:07.860 environmental Chambers like this one are one of the most important pieces of 00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:12.360 equipment in a manufacturer's Arsenal and the reason for that is even if 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:17.939 they're not building a rugged device designed for Arctic expeditions 00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:22.320 even devices that are destined to spend their lives indoors can be subjected to 00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:26.759 vastly different environmental conditions I mean take something as 00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:31.140 simple as room temperature that is culturally dependent and room 00:01:28.619 --> 00:01:37.979 temperature can be as high as 28 degrees Celsius in Nigeria and minus 28 degrees 00:01:34.979 --> 00:01:41.060 Celsius in Europe in the winter in an 00:01:37.979 --> 00:01:44.520 energy crisis that is where the 00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:47.460 sch-512-4 comes in with our humidity 00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:53.100 range extension option this bad boy will fit so much humidity 98 to be exact so 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.600 it'll go all the way from 5 to 98 relative humidity meaning that we can 00:01:55.380 --> 00:02:01.799 simulate environments as demanding as southeast Asia where as we alluded to 00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:06.840 before Electronics failure rates can be as high as two to three times what you 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:11.520 might find in a more moderate operating environment of course humidity is not 00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:16.560 the entire story and we want to talk about temperature as well this is a big 00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:22.800 one because while humidity is going to affect a device's ability to work at all 00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:25.980 or not work at all temperature could 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.319 affect its efficiency say a GPU for 00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:33.239 example I need a GPU whether it's something as small as finding that a 00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:38.099 particular GPU runs three percent slower in Texas than it does in Oregon or 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.519 something as big as finding that a mobile phone manufacturer has a big 00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:45.420 battery controversy on their hands because at low temperatures their 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:51.000 battery life Falls far lower than the competition this is going to help us 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:54.120 root it out and while we might not be looking at the most interesting side of 00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:58.080 it there are certainly some things we can talk about back here for starters 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 00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:09.180 power and Peaks at 8 000 Watts that allows it to go up or 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:13.140 down five degrees in temperature per minute that's all handled by the HVAC 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:16.500 system here which based on the size of the condenser could probably handle a 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 00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:25.500 down we've got another optional accessory or wait this can't be optional 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.680 is it like a bigger one or something that's the humidity control I guess if 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:34.140 you just want to do temper control you wouldn't need this right correct cool 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:38.580 they make it very clear that you may not use deionized water you must use 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:43.099 demineralized water and I guess that's just to keep it from getting schmooed up 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 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 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.980 really no this is this is where the liquid goes it looks like there's a 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 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 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 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:12.659 you make your way from Etsy to consumer electronics to Scientific equipment as 00:04:10.019 --> 00:04:17.699 your price goes up the diy-ness curve kind of looks like this yeah yeah 00:04:15.260 --> 00:04:22.139 anywho it's the opposite of the Dunning Kruger curve all right here's our water 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:27.120 inlet here's a something yeah it's insulated 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:28.560 thanks so well there's some wires yeah 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.360 what this likely is is this is going to be the heater slash cooler for the 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:36.600 actual water for the humidity control in order to make sure that we hit an 00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:40.020 optimal temperature gradient right cool and then this looks like it's sleeved 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 00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:52.800 built I think they all are actually hand assembled yeah I mean yeah 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:56.520 ooh gn2 Purge yes we have a gaseous 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:58.979 nitrogen Purge which does 00:04:56.520 --> 00:05:03.600 it gets everything that isn't nitrogen out of it oh I think it uses gaseous 00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:06.540 nitrogen to purge right so that would get everything that isn't nitrogen out 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:13.259 of it okay yeah not strictly speaking behind a door but 00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:15.060 this is our desiccant system now what we 00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:18.900 just have to like keep refilling it with like desiccant crystals or I mean we 00:05:16.979 --> 00:05:24.300 have an apple Supply them Yo Logistics can you guys just save every desiccant 00:05:21.419 --> 00:05:28.320 package that you get from now on actually no this is a closed system we 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:34.020 shouldn't have to refill the desk again uh frequently by any means so how does 00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:39.180 it desiccate how does it desiccate well let me pull out this handy manual 00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:44.220 so uses this to control the humidity this is our air dryer yeah humidity it 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 00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:53.759 gonna have to like buy nitrogen cylinders and crap uh 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.020 that's a good question oh speaking of nitrogen cylinders one of the features 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 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.759 hook up dry ice or liquid nitrogen to 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.280 vastly reduce your pull down time do you have any idea how that works our model 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 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.580 so yeah okay we we don't need it though 00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:20.699 five degrees per minute is pretty good and if you're complaining about a 00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:25.680 nitrogen tank you really want to store dry ice now from what I heard AES 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.720 included an Easter egg for you really they did oh I found it 00:06:30.539 --> 00:06:38.759 thank you honestly I assumed it was whatever was inside here but that's amazing 00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:41.280 um like shout out AES by the way I we 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 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:49.560 like so many scientific equipment manufacturers these guys are like wow 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.819 it's so cool someone other than a manufacturer is finally doing this and 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 00:06:56.340 --> 00:07:03.419 all the consumers who are going to be more educated thanks to this gear that 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:06.240 is a lot of glass and this is really 00:07:03.419 --> 00:07:11.639 cool we actually got what is supposedly like filming grade glass or something so 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 00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:19.560 things that are inside the environmental chamber which to my understanding is not 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.880 a standard feature would they typically have no glass at all or they could have 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 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:34.319 fancy like does this triple pained it's quadruple pained 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:36.419 now this is cool they've actually got oh 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:41.460 I guess this is just a grounding strip or something they've got these strips on 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:45.599 the outsides of the glass that seem to be soldered to something 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 00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:55.560 can film through once those lights are on it should be a clear picture through 00:07:53.039 --> 00:07:59.160 the glass that's so cool small correction apparently these might be 00:07:57.060 --> 00:08:04.199 heating strips because the glass is heated to prevent condensation from 00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:07.560 forming on it correct that's freaking cool yeah these guys went all out with 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.580 making sure we could actually film through here oh amazing now the kinds of 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:16.680 things that we might end up filming then I think certain things are obvious like 00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:18.240 phones I mean you could do a whole Army 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 00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:26.819 having 25 devices under test at any given time for the most part so we're 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 00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:33.779 be able to record their battery drain at different levels now tell me something 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 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:42.620 everything over the network that's 00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:48.660 look in the back we have pass-through wait that stays open and it still stays 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 00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:57.959 least plug them if you're not yes and of course the beefiest Environmental 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 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:06.720 satisfying squishy toy I want to ask 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 00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:15.540 that looks like a neoprene composite this goes in here 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:19.680 probably on the outside for our user friendliness these will be especially 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:24.899 useful for categories of devices that cannot be operated wirelessly like say 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.600 for example a PC power supply the home for the environmental chamber is 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:32.519 actually going to be right next to our power supply testing unit so I think the 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:36.540 idea is that while we can't necessarily run efficiency tests while it's wait 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 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:45.300 cables plugged into the PSU tester like is that going to reach 00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:49.680 we're right next to it so yeah realistically we could 00:09:47.160 --> 00:09:53.640 um but but I believe that we are going to have some longer cables from the 00:09:51.300 --> 00:09:57.899 chroma that'll plug in okay but then we wouldn't be able to evaluate efficiency 00:09:55.260 --> 00:10:02.399 at high temperatures we are going to be able to 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.540 um that's a good point Gaines is the 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 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:12.540 to have to solve because the efficiency of a power supply can be dramatically 00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:16.800 different at zero degrees compared to what it is at 40 degrees both of which 00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:20.519 are perfectly realistic operating environments this makes sense then you'd 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 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.120 absolutely at any height that you want probably I suspect what we do is end up 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 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 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 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.839 circulation if you had a solid itself though you wouldn't have to fully cover 00:10:44.339 --> 00:10:51.000 the shelf so you just make sure underneath the laptops it was flat 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.540 oh that's still getting dangerously not that real world because you know two 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 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 00:11:01.500 --> 00:11:08.880 okay fair enough I was told this could be used to test desktop computers not 00:11:06.180 --> 00:11:14.220 this stuff hold on see look perfectly normal gaming desktop doesn't 00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:18.480 even fit in my environmental chamber Gary I know we just cut a little here oh 00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:25.940 my God yeah is that how you did things back at ASUS absolutely in all seriousness 00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:29.880 though guys this is a much more typical mid-tower size computer 00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:34.500 which is this a threadripper pro yeah is this 00:11:32.459 --> 00:11:39.899 new threadripper Pro what new 00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:44.220 oh okay I thought it was like very new but tell me something this thing could 00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:47.459 easily be kicking a thousand fifteen hundred watts of heat out into the 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.420 chamber if we tell this thing cool it down we're probably not going to get 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 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 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:03.320 degrees per minute got it with this in here 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.820 oh I know what this is as1 connect we 00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:18.420 got an extra system that allows us to connect this thing to the network and 00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:20.040 it'll log over a span of like years or 00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:22.740 something like that like every humidity every temperature how often does it log 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:26.700 do we know I don't know the exact polling rate but 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 00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:34.500 oh my God yeah what the hell am I 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 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:43.079 you can tell they take seriously you 00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:47.459 know what I'm saying yeah proper Cable Management so circulation Motors 00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:52.079 compressor we've got heat power supply humidity heat here's our window heat if 00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:56.579 we wanted to trace those wires yep now we can't turn it on today unfortunately 00:12:53.959 --> 00:13:01.079 uh because we don't have the power plug installed yet but what I can do is 00:12:59.160 --> 00:13:06.899 further demonstrate the size by showing that we can fit a whole human inside the 00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:11.519 environmental chamber how long would I last in here at the extremes of what 00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:15.360 this chamber can do not vary but we could make it very comfortable 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.200 you know man I could be so comfortable 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:23.880 in here if it was working right now we 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.200 could keep it at a healthy 25 degrees just like I'd be comfortable telling you 00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:31.860 about our sponsor bitdefender they're
