bigclivedotcom | Inside a USB dehumidifier unit and "boosting" it. @bigclivedotcom | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This unit is intended for keeping small enclosed spaces dry by using silica gel desiccant to adsorb moisture on its surface, and then liberate it again when the unit is plugged into a USB power supply to power a small internal heater that drives the moisture out into the room.
Contrary to the instructions in the listing, the unit should not be left plugged in constantly, as that will just be a heater, and not a dehumidifier. Although, that could be useful in some applications.
The insides were slightly underwhelming in the construction and lack of desiccant, but that has now been corrected and is currently under test.
Test results so far:- The original 16 gram bag has adsorbed a pathetic 1g (1ml) of moisture.
The new fill has adsorbed 17g (17ml) so far. I've still to test its self-drying ability when plugged into a USB power supply.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
