A Grain of Sand in Polarized Light
This is an ordinary grain of silica sand that measures less than a millimeter across. The colors result from birefringence in the quartz crystal as the sample is illuminated with partially polarized light. It was imaged with a Mitutoyo M Plan APO 10X microscope objective, and the video uses a focus-stacking technique to achieve a large depth of focus.

Lichens and bryophytes grow on practically every tree, but you've probably never seen them like this! Up close they look like a beautiful alien landscape. This video shows several lichen species and some surprisingly colorful tiny moss that I found growing together on the bark of a maple tree that fell in my backyard. An Alien Egg? At one point you'll see what looks like a round black alien egg...

Thor Sanctuary Cabinet FAIL!
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
Our Thor Tranquility / Sanctuary 19P camper van cabinets fell off while driving! It's a clear example of faulty workmanship in this van, and I've heard this is not an isolated case but a problem that has happened to others too. Fortunately no one was riding in back at the time. Sometimes the only way to know it's done right is to do it yourself, so I'll show you how I fixed the problem to make ...

I have a 0.8mm bit and I am trying to find feeds and speed as well as depth per pass. I'm surprised you didn't mention your settings. Could you share you feeds and speeds?
There was a link in the video description to a page with my settings etc. but the link was broken, and it's fixed now: brainright.com/cnc-guitar-inlay/
what cnc controller are you using ?
This is an amazing idea. Love the simplicity of this. I wanted to build one which packs down and can take camping so I can use as an oven as well. Also multipurpose so I can use as a barbeque as well. Ypur idea has helped me so much. Thanks
Hello I'm from Kenya how can get this material for making the drone
Brilliant!! Jay I found you by searching for Vectric drag knife vinyl decal making. You are fabulous. I love what you have done here. Great hair BTW:
3 thou run out on chuck is trash. I'd go with aligning that better or go with a collet or 5c chuck
Thanks for posting. Guess I’ll be looking a a revel.
This multiple point mounting technique is absolutely game changing. I can't believe I never thought of that. Cheers!
What specific Sketchup app did you use. I downloaded SKP viewer 3D RS. Please tell me which app you used. Thanks!
I used SketchUp Make 2017, which has since been discontinued. But you can now use the free online version of SketchUp available at app.sketchup.com/app, and this will load the SKP file that I posted on my website for this project.
Amazing !
Thanks for the detailed review
i can;t imagine the amount of time it took for you to create this fantastic macro video.
I make these sets myself for the fraction of the price you paid.
Hello. Is it taken as a photo and then animated into a video? Or was this originally filmed as a video?
This was recorded as video, but at high magnification the depth of focus is very small so I used an image stacking technique to achieve a large depth of focus. Each frame of the finished video is a combination of hundreds of images taken at different focus positions. I developed my own software to process the many terabytes of raw video and combine the in-focus parts of each frame.
@@BrainRight Thank you! Analyzing the video, I came to almost the same conclusion that photo sessions were taken, each of which consisted of several hundred frames, and then a video was stitched together from them.
@@BrainRight What is the magnification in this video?
@@medovoe-pomeste The optical magnification onto the camera's sensor ranges from about 1X up to 16X. With some slight cropping that gives a field of view that's about 16mm down to 1mm wide.
Macro is the best. Well done.
Aren't you having fun. Wow
Fantastic
Do you have a video showing how you made up that sub panel?
No, sorry I don't. It's basically the same as a small sub-panel in a house except that it's fed with a very large cord that plugs into a 50A range outlet.
Thanks!
I came for the photos, took a lesson in fixtures and automated manipulation. Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Impressive shots!
Thanks, it was a fun project and I'd never looked at lichens this way before.
Very beautiful, nice job!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
I own same unit from Thor and it’s trash. My shelf also fell off and caught fire when the alternator wire shorted out on the propane tank.
Yikes!
Hi Jay! Thank you for the video! It was very useful, but as English is not my main language, there are some things that I wasn't able to understand properly. What kind of phenolic board did you use to hold the mother of pearl? Phenolic wood or some kind of phenolic plastic like bakelite?
Hi Ernesto, I'm glad you found the video useful. Here is a link to the phenolic sheets that I used. I think that wood or thin plywood would also work, but it would absorb acetone when soaking it to release the glue. Some people use white glue instead of cyanoacrylate, and soak it in water to release the parts. www.precisebits.com/products/substrates/backingmaterials.asp
Great job
Epic 🚀
suppose I wanted to similarly engrave lot of stone slabs - how would I go about it?
I feel like that's more of a moveable table than a cart. Still well designed
OMG! Yep seen this before. Mine squeaks like crazy. Thinking about adding some type of support cabinet.🤔
Hey there! Loved the video but unfortunately don’t have all the tools/garage necessary to build one like this on my own. I was wondering if it’s possible to order one and if so, where I could choose the colors etc. thanks for the great content!
Watched this video for the first time. I found it very interesting and informative. I have now subscribed to your channel. 🇬🇧
Thanks, glad you found it useful.
Amazing video. Bravo!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Love the experimentation with the different colors. How do you think the epoxy/wood combo will hold up over the years as the wood ages and goes through humidity changes?
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't think there will be any problem with the epoxy and humidity changes because it's reasonably thin (flexible) and it should be well-bonded to the wood because I left the pockets just as they came from the router, i.e. the insides of the pockets should have lots of small surface irregularities that will help the epoxy to adhere. It could be a problem in an environment with extreme humidity changes but I haven't had any reports of failures from the family members to whom I gave these boards.
Moro no Brasil. Construí tbm uma máquina cnc em 2011. Vou botar um sistema desse de dragknife. Muito bom esse vídeo
Thanks, glad you found it useful and I hope it works well for your system.
i wish my first time tig looked that good
Thanks, it was beginner's luck perhaps. After this project I really struggled trying to get an aluminum TIG weld that didn't look like crap. I watched many videos, tried many techniques and my welds were just terrible. I finally figured out that my argon cylinder was running low and while it still gave adequate flow rate indicated on the flow gauge, apparently I was getting impure gas from the dregs of the tank. I switched to a new cylinder and immediately my welds looked so much better, still not professional but at least not totally incompetent and I was finally able to start working on my technique.
Harmonic Drive's design on HPG, HPGP & HPF Series allows the internal gear to elastically deform, accommodating the operational stresses that might otherwise lead to increased backlash. This elastic deformation is specifically intended to maintain consistent backlash levels, compensating for the wear and tear that might typically lead to increased backlash in a traditional gear system. HPG-20A-45 Permissible Radial Load 1,890 N, Permissible Axial Load 2,830 N.
This man has excellent hair
Hi Jay, I am a newby in Fusion 360 and CNC in general. I probably watched this video 20 times. I've been trying to do a multi part mother of pearl inlay on my guitar headstock. I have created my own design and I have followed your instructions, but there is always a glitch when I try to do a simulation. I'm somehow doing this wrong. I hate to ask you for help, but is there anyway you could share your toolpath for this operation? Thank you and Aloha from Hawaii
I added the project file to my web page so you can download it at brainright.com/cnc-guitar-inlay/. I hope that helps get you started. Aloha
@@BrainRight Thank you very much Jay, This whole thing, makes so much more sense now. Mahalo
Cool Video. Nice cart.
Thanks!
Nice work great information
Thanks, glad you found it useful.
Thank You So Much. I need your help. I built EVTOL that can take me up but I stopped at the point of choosing the type of motors suitable for the project. Pls enlighten me a little bit.
I used the online calculator at www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.php to help in selecting the various electrical components and to predict how those choices would affect performance.
Hello I'm interested in buying a kit for my inflatable. Which kit did you purchase for your Sea Eagle?
Our kit is from www.sailboatstogo.com/ and they have a range of kits available for many types of kayaks and canoes, including kits to fit specific models of Sea Eagle kayaks. Our kit is item #6022.
If only us hobby users could still use 4 the axis in Fusion360.
Even if we can't use full 4-axis machining operations, the technique I used replaces the X axis with the rotation axis for this engraving so we can still use a "4th axis" even if we can't use "4 axes".
Your work is very beautiful. Visually, those pockets look a lot deeper than I would have expected. My assumption is that was just the depth of the material you were using. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
I try to make the pockets just a little shallower than the thickness of the material, to minimize how much shell material will be sanded off. It doesn't matter much with plain white shell like this, but when using highly figured material like abalone, I try to fit the patterns of the shell into the design. The patterns change as you sand them down so it's best to remove as little as possible.
Hi, I admire this type of content and I want to congratulate you for doing it. I wanted to ask you a favor, I am a fan of fishing with drones and based on my needs, (my phantom 3 is already quite old and asking to retire), I want to build a drone that can easily lift 1-3lbs and use the necessary amount of 18650 battery packs, 2 or 4 4s made by me. Could you advise me on a prototype based on your experience? In case you can help me, I could send you my email or wpp. Thank you so much!
I don't have experience with higher lifting capacity drones, but here is an online xcopter calculator that I used for my drone design and you may find it useful for your applications: www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.php

Good Job man!
Would be nice if you included links of where to purchase your items for mods
Well done. That's not going anywhere now. Unfortunately, Thor has still not issued a recall for this problem. The cabinets in at least two model years 21 & 22 are still failing.
Fantastic build. Thanks for the detail info!
I didn't know how badly I needed this video
