This video is an experiment of sorts. This is part 1 of 4, which was originally intended to be a single video, but ended up being too long. Please let me know what you think on short parts versus long videos.

In this video, we review last video's possible cause of failure of the buck converter, starting a new test, and then we have an oddly long chat about toilets and batteries!
