New Features on Automated Moth Detector Digital Naturalism Laboratories 2023-09-27 | Some fun updates on the low-cost automated insect detector design! I added a custom tripod mount so we can set them up on cheap tripods in the field (or anything with a 1/4in bolt). I have also made a fun mechanism using telescoping rods that holds the target out when deployed (to attract and photograph moths, and it collapses to protect the lens when being transported. Plus it adds a pretty fun flair to the project!Goal is to make it strong, compact and easy for field biologists like Hubert @hubert.szcz or conservationists like @azueroreforesta to set up.The next version will shift how it holds the rods so the target can collapse all the way to the lens for A) better compactness B) lens protection. But this first prototype works great! Also the current target is currently just cardboard I'm prototyping with, the real one will be slippery plastic with cloth on the target side to lure in insects to land.The rods I use are these cheap magnetic telescoping pick up tools you can find online for about a dollar each. They seem quite strong and to be made of stainless steel so I think they should last okay out in the wild (like retractable antennas on cars)If you unscrew the magnet there is a super short m2 bolt thread, but i couldn't figure out a good easy way to attach that to my target. So i actually ended up snipping and flattening and drilling a hole to then put my own bolt through. If someone has a better or more elegant solution, i would love to know!

three phase motor runs fast and hot with phase shifter Digital Naturalism Laboratories 2023-07-06 | unlike the previous video that was being weekly powered through the VFD. I seem to get tons of power when I just hook it up to a phase converter directly. the motor however got quite hot. I couldn't measure how much amps were going through. it just wasn't showing up. maybe because I clamped it around all three wires and should have just clamped one.

Dipless Bubble Gun Teardown Digital Naturalism Laboratories 2023-01-16 | i give an in-depth teardown of how these cool new bubble machines work. They are entirely self-contained by way of using a peristaltic pump that goes to a kind of soap bubble nipple that is able to wet the bubble wands without having to dip the wand into free moving liquid. this means that We can do whole new mobile things that produce sounds and fountains of bubbles!More cool wearable bubble machines to come!

Messed up Plastic Heater Explodes we bought from Megatec.center Digital Naturalism Laboratories 2022-04-28 | Update: the company we bought this from has not responded to our complaints, so we are sharing this publicly so that other people are not put at risk due to sloppy electrical work.The company is megatec.center bazar.preciousplastic.com/index.php?dispatch=companies.view&company_id=29we have been having tons of problems with this plastic extrusion electrical controller we bought (parts were not insulated properly, parts were installed dangerously wrong and reversed) and this is the SECOND time this machine exploded since we bought it.it blew up once because one of the temperature sensors was installed backwards and the whole thing i noticed the heaters were starting to smoke as the thing began to heat up to the desired temperature, so i got a temperature reader and it showed 345c, and then i started filming to send to the people i bought it from to ask about that smoke and then suddenly it exploded and caught on fire.
