1. 0:00Hi, welcome to everyone's favorite
2. 0:01segment, mailbag. I'll have to use the
3. 0:05knife left-handed today. I'm a little
4. 0:07bit ambidextrous because well, if you
5. 0:10seen my EV blog two video, um
6. 0:12yeah, this is the aftermath. Uh no, it
7. 0:15wasn't to do with the knife. So, you'll
8. 0:17have to check that out. Anyway,
9. 0:19everyone's favorite segment, mailbag.
10. 0:21Thank you very much to Matthew Burger
11. 0:24from Switzerland. Hi to all my viewers
12. 0:26in Switzerland. And if you got
13. 0:28something, you want to send it in. EV
14. 0:30blog mailbag. Got to put mailbag on it.
15. 0:32PO box 7949. I don't know what post [ __ ]
16. 0:36is. Um I
17. 0:38don't know, but don't put that. Anyway,
18. 0:40put PO box 7949
19. 0:43Northwest, New South Wales, 2153,
20. 0:46Australia. So, not quite in that order,
21. 0:48but yeah, it gets here. You can be an
22. 0:50individual or company and you can send
23. 0:52something in and we open it up. So,
24. 0:54let's have a squeeze. Haven't seen this
25. 0:56before. This is new. Dear customer, this
26. 0:58article was received in Australia in
27. 0:59this condition and has been re-wrapped
28. 1:01by Australia Post. Thank you very much
29. 1:03at the Sydney Gateway facility. So,
30. 1:07yeah, it's it's Kamagasa somehow. So,
31. 1:10oh, got to get in here with the left
32. 1:12hand. Hang on.
33. 1:14This could I could Kamagasa. All right,
34. 1:17we have a book and we have a note. Ooh,
35. 1:21what is this? What is this? Volume two.
36. 1:24Did we get volume one? I don't remember.
37. 1:27Been so much sending to mailbag over the
38. 1:28years. Volume two, professional
39. 1:30electronic design best practices. That
40. 1:34sounds awesome. Matthew F. Burger is the
41. 1:38author and there you go.
42. 1:40Additional best practices in circuit
43. 1:42design, 100 plus new diagrams, 25 plus
44. 1:44practical ready to use reference tables.
45. 1:46We love reference tables. Just an
46. 1:49absolute random page here. What do we
47. 1:51got? Width of a 50 ohm conductor track
48. 1:54on outer layer as a function of the
49. 1:55height above the reference player and
50. 1:57the reference service in the layer
51. 1:59below. Of course, that'll depend on your
52. 2:01PCB material of course.
53. 2:03Section of the conductors on top layer
54. 2:05between R9 microprocessor and DDR5. The
55. 2:09wider space traces of data traces, two
56. 2:11closely spaced traces, data strobes with
57. 2:14a length of 20 mm. I'm sure they talk
58. 2:17about length matching there. Routing
59. 2:20differential signals. Yes. There's lots
60. 2:22of photos and things in here. There you
61. 2:24go. Function of dip switch settings and
62. 2:27also like shunt jumpers. For example, by
63. 2:31the looks of it, PCB stack-ups. Look at
64. 2:34this.
65. 2:35Use grids but do not align everything.
66. 2:38Yes, grids are important to PCB design.
67. 2:41I I won't show you every Oh, noise. What
68. 2:44is that? How how to measure noise on
69. 2:46power rails and ADCs. There you go. Lab
70. 2:49bench test. I don't I [laughter] should
71. 2:51have started from the beginning.
72. 2:53What are we standards compliance? Oh,
73. 2:55that's IP ratings and stuff. Wow, this
74. 2:59is cool. Estimating and reducing costs.
75. 3:02Oh, this looks pretty cool. Example of
76. 3:05conformal coating. Look at that. That's
77. 3:07thick as. Rise time estimates and stuff
78. 3:10like this. Let's jump straight to the
79. 3:12beginning because this is volume two.
80. 3:14We've obviously missed out on volume one
81. 3:16or have we? I don't think it was
82. 3:17probably in a previous mailbag. Was it?
83. 3:19A supercap is not a supercap. Subtleties
84. 3:22in freewheeling diode selection.
85. 3:25Software debouncing. Do not use headers
86. 3:27in products.
87. 3:29>> [laughter]
88. 3:30>> I'll leave it to you to actually read
89. 3:32that, the reason why do not use
90. 3:34headers in products. More about memory
91. 3:36selection, ADCs, DACs, sensor selection.
92. 3:39Yeah, conformal coating. DC
93. 3:42Jump straight from just component
94. 3:44selection to like DC supply design. In
95. 3:48this case, it's kind of like you know,
96. 3:50the art of electronics like X chapters.
97. 3:52They just sort of like you know, throw
98. 3:54in these random you know, practical
99. 3:56tidbits and stuff like that.
100. 3:58Estimating reducing costs. So, yeah,
101. 4:01there you go. It's like there's no set
102. 4:03structure here. It's just jumping around
103. 4:06with random little factoids. And we've
104. 4:08got like standard various standards
105. 4:10compliances. That's That seems fairly
106. 4:12comprehensive. Look at that. Lots of
107. 4:14them. Dealing with patents. Oh, yeah,
108. 4:16there you go. Limits of circuit
109. 4:18simulation. Yes, cuz it's not about
110. 4:20simulating a circuit, it's about knowing
111. 4:22the limits and the pitfalls. Lab bench
112. 4:24test.
113. 4:25Do not trust the e-test. There you go.
114. 4:28And then just start lab bench testing.
115. 4:30So, there you go. A bunch of practical
116. 4:33hints and tips about various aspects of
117. 4:37design and also manufacture as well.
118. 4:40Neat. Wow, I'll link it in down below.
119. 4:43Thank you very much, Matthew. I Yes, we
120. 4:45did have it in the mailbag. Dear Dave,
121. 4:48your help contributed significantly to
122. 4:50the success of my first book. Over a
123. 4:51thousand a thousand? Is that Is that a
124. 4:53one?
125. 4:54Copy sold. That is awesome. For those
126. 4:57who don't know, that is quite good
127. 4:58volume for like a niche technical book
128. 5:01like these.
129. 5:03Thank you very much. Now, I've written a
130. 5:04second volume. I'd like to great if you
131. 5:06could mention it too. It's available on
132. 5:08Amazon for only 23 bucks. There you go.
133. 5:11That's a bargain. Thank you very much,
134. 5:14Matthew. 23 bucks cuz this will be print
135. 5:17on demand, I'm sure. So,
136. 5:19do they even mention it's Amazon print
137. 5:21on demand? There's a publisher for it.
138. 5:23So, yeah, I'm not sure, but anyone can
139. 5:26publish a book now with Amazon print on
140. 5:28demand. They you know, you don't need a
141. 5:31traditional publisher. Oh, when I was a
142. 5:33boy,
143. 5:34now you can just you know, put your book
144. 5:36on Amazon and they will print. If you
145. 5:37order a copy, they will print up.
146. 5:39They've got these magical new printing
147. 5:41machines that'll just print you off and
148. 5:43bind and glue and everything one
149. 5:45particular copy just for you. And like
150. 5:48it's it's fantastic. So, I'm not sure if
151. 5:50that's the case here, but anyway, yeah,
152. 5:53that's great. That looks really groovy.
153. 5:54I love little practical random practical
154. 5:59design and manufacture tips. Great
155. 6:01stuff. Next up, hi to all my viewers in
156. 6:04Mamaroneck,
157. 6:06New York, I think.
158. 6:08Thank you, Colton Wheeler. And we've got
159. 6:11a direction indicator. What the heck is
160. 6:14that?
161. 6:16Ah. Ah. Hang on. This thing hurts too
162. 6:20much. Got to go get a fresh band-aid on
163. 6:22it. All right, what is a direction
164. 6:25indicator Oh. Oh, that looks groovy.
165. 6:29Ah,
166. 6:30battery removed for shipping. Yeah, it
167. 6:33stopped working. What's broke? Oh, okay.
168. 6:35So, we have something broken. Oh. Oh.
169. 6:39That's in Look at that. Um sort of like
170. 6:43bodged-in looking solar cell,
171. 6:45Nautalytics.
172. 6:47So, it's some sort of nautical custom
173. 6:50not high volume. Some sort of like
174. 6:52custom nautical
175. 6:54related product. A simple compass. Okay,
176. 6:57there you go. Made in 'Merica.
177. 7:00USA. Nautalytics simple compass. So,
178. 7:03what is it? Some sort of like fluxgate
179. 7:06compass or something?
180. 7:08Uh Oh. Oh. Oh, I see three big Okay,
181. 7:12it's just got three big LCD digits on
182. 7:16there. Um seven segment display and it
183. 7:19just displays your
184. 7:21rotation. Um this has got to be ancient.
185. 7:24We were rolling our own fluxgate compass
186. 7:26at GEC Marconi back in the
187. 7:30mid-90s, something like that.
188. 7:33Um and
189. 7:34yeah, that'd be my guess. But yeah,
190. 7:37obviously, compass is trivial these
191. 7:39days, but back then. So, I'd say yeah,
192. 7:41late '80s, maybe early '90s
193. 7:45vintage perhaps. Let's crack it open.
194. 7:48Woah, [snorts]
195. 7:49it's hard to I got to do this
196. 7:50left-handed too. Yeah, it looks
197. 7:52completely sealed. So, it wouldn't
198. 7:55surprise me and because it's nautical.
199. 7:57Wait.
200. 7:58Oh, yeah. Oh. Wait.
201. 8:00There we go. Oh, no. That looks more
202. 8:02modern than I thought.
203. 8:04Oh, yeah. Oh. Oh.
204. 8:08Uh yeah, I think we've had some water
205. 8:10ingress. And yeah, I was right about the
206. 8:13about the O-ring seal around there. Oh,
207. 8:16it's got a wireless charger receiver
208. 8:19module in it. Yeah, this is
209. 8:21This is pretty recent. And what's a a
210. 8:23dry card? That is a That That That's a
211. 8:27desiccant. That's a stick-on desiccant.
212. 8:30I don't think I've seen those before.
213. 8:33Leave it in the comments down below if
214. 8:34you've ever used a dry card
215. 8:37stick-on desiccant. And of course, do
216. 8:39not eat it. Okay, this is way more
217. 8:41modern than I thought. And yeah, well,
218. 8:44there's your problem.
219. 8:46Um what the heck has happened around
220. 8:49there?
221. 8:50Oh.
222. 8:51And it stopped working. What has broken?
223. 8:53Well, you know,
224. 8:55uh what has What the heck has happened
225. 8:59there? I don't know. And what is that?
226. 9:02That's like a ST part, is it? Oh, no.
227. 9:05Sorry to all you Atmel fanboys.
228. 9:08I was mistaken. Atmel part looks like
229. 9:10date code 2013.
230. 9:13Whatever has happened there is
231. 9:16unpleasant
232. 9:18to say the least.
233. 9:20Um
234. 9:20oops. And that is obviously just Yeah,
235. 9:24it's had some water ingress and
236. 9:26corrosion there. So, yeah, there's some
237. 9:28breakdown of the traces. Maybe it's
238. 9:30Yeah, it's gotten down under some traces
239. 9:32on the top side. I can't quite see on
240. 9:34the camcorder screen. Yeah, the reason
241. 9:36for the generic failure is pretty
242. 9:39obvious there. Curiously, it does have a
243. 9:42little micro USB. That would just be for
244. 9:46interface or something. You wouldn't
245. 9:49power it from that, would you? I can't
246. 9:52readily see that number there, but
247. 9:53that's obviously our compass.
248. 9:57Jeez, when I was a boy, we did literally
249. 10:00roll our own
250. 10:01>> [laughter]
251. 10:02>> magnetic flux gate compass. So, yeah,
252. 10:05coils and everything. Now, it's like
253. 10:08just plonk your SMD part down and Bob's
254. 10:11your I²C or SPI interface, Bob's your
255. 10:14uncle.
256. 10:15Yeah, that corrosion's not pretty, is
257. 10:17it?
258. 10:19Yeah, so I'd say corrosion issue
259. 10:22somewhere. Look at [laughter] that poor
260. 10:24innocent
261. 10:26micro USB connector.
262. 10:30Oh, that's terrible, Muriel. And trying
263. 10:32to power it from that, whether or not
264. 10:34it's that is actually doable or not, I
265. 10:36don't know, but yeah, diddly-squat. And
266. 10:40really, that sort of solar cell is not
267. 10:43going to give enough juice to actually
268. 10:46power this power this Atmel processor, I
269. 10:49don't think, just on its own. So, this
270. 10:51is like really it just trickle charging
271. 10:54when off would be my guess. And powering
272. 10:58it up with an external 4-V supply here
273. 11:01at
274. 11:02I've got a couple hundred milliamps set,
275. 11:04that's plenty.
276. 11:06What what what what?
277. 11:08No overload and drawing no current. I'm
278. 11:10talking like 7 microamps or something.
279. 11:15Uh
280. 11:16Now, if we try and
281. 11:17press the buttons,
282. 11:19nope, nope, nope. He's dead, Jim. And
283. 11:22the obvious problem is
284. 11:25water ingress.
285. 11:27>> [snorts]
286. 11:27>> So,
287. 11:29probably not worth trying to debug that
288. 11:31further. It's just corroded around the
289. 11:34SD connector there and those pins are
290. 11:36corroded and everything. And yeah, nah,
291. 11:40she's come a gutser. That's what you get
292. 11:42in the marine environment, I'm afraid.
293. 11:45What what what what? Well, we do like
294. 11:48rethinking power supplies here on the
295. 11:51EEVblog. So, thank you very much to
296. 11:53Digital Power Systems in Germany. I know
297. 11:56all my German viewers
298. 11:59familiar Digital Power Systems. Have we
299. 12:02done Are they having a second suck of
300. 12:04the sav?
301. 12:07Okay.
302. 12:08Let's crack her open.
303. 12:10Obviously, maybe some little power
304. 12:12supply modules or something.
305. 12:14Let's have a squeeze before we read the
306. 12:16note. Oh, DIN jobbie, yes, we've had
307. 12:18these before. That's I'm sure we have.
308. 12:21They've sent another couple in. What is
309. 12:24different? We've got a little selection
310. 12:27switch now. This looks like a
311. 12:29Yeah,
312. 12:31that's a selection switch. And then
313. 12:33we've got a
314. 12:34USB-C
315. 12:36out. So, let me read the note cuz I'm
316. 12:40sure they're having a second suck of the
317. 12:42sav. Dear Dave, we are pleased to submit
318. 12:44our new power supplies for review. USB
319. 12:47AC power delivery and HDR 20 5 9 and 12
320. 12:51V. Could you highlight the scan and
321. 12:53trust feature? What's a scan and trust?
322. 12:56To I
323. 12:58do we Okay. Oh, there we go. There's our
324. 13:00scan and trust. There you go.
325. 13:02I shall scan it and see if we can trust
326. 13:04it cuz you never know. We might get
327. 13:07counterfeit jobbies. So, let's get our
328. 13:09shoe phone out. Oh, yeah. There you go.
329. 13:11powersystems.eu
330. 13:14Come on.
331. 13:16You can do it. What's it going to tell
332. 13:17me?
333. 13:19That is genuine.
334. 13:21Oh, there you go. Pass. So, it knows the
335. 13:23individual serial number on it. Test
336. 13:26started. Okay. There you go. Duration 20
337. 13:29seconds. How do you know how long their
338. 13:31production tests takes? It passed and we
339. 13:34can get the data sheets and we can show
340. 13:36measurements.
341. 13:38Oh,
342. 13:39look at this. It's got all the test
343. 13:40results.
344. 13:42Test from their
345. 13:44production test jig. Is that what they
346. 13:46were measuring? 5.15 and it should be
347. 13:48between 4.9 and 5.4.
348. 13:51I assume that's upper and lower bound
349. 13:53there. Pass pass pass. Look at all this.
350. 13:57And this is for the individual unit. OH,
351. 14:00WOW. This is a Bobby dazzler.
352. 14:03I've never seen this before. This is
353. 14:05very impressive.
354. 14:08I'm so impressed, I will accept their
355. 14:10cookies. Wow, it just it just keeps
356. 14:12going. It keeps going. Whoa whoa whoa
357. 14:15whoa whoa. What was that? Manual
358. 14:17operation versity. Oh, okay, it's
359. 14:18telling them this is their production
360. 14:21test instructions.
361. 14:23This is crazy. So, this message would
362. 14:26have been sent to the production test
363. 14:28operator, reverse the USB-C cable and
364. 14:30retest to verify. So, somebody's got to
365. 14:32sit there and flip it over.
366. 14:35It didn't take them long, of course, to
367. 14:37test it because all of these are just
368. 14:39automated test bang bang bang bang bang,
369. 14:41you know, they take like
370. 14:430.1 of a second each or something.
371. 14:46That is great. Does anyone else in the
372. 14:48industry have something like that? I
373. 14:50really like that because
374. 14:53you could get counterfeits of these
375. 14:55things and this helps you verify that
376. 14:58these are legit.
377. 14:59Great stuff. Huge thumbs up. So, we've
378. 15:01got two Oh, 240 only. Sorry, Yanks.
379. 15:05Maybe they do make a Yankee version, but
380. 15:08it's not universal input. It's 207 to
381. 15:10253.
382. 15:12Because 253 is the absolute maximum here
383. 15:14in Australia. And I'm a bit confused
384. 15:18here. Look, and here's our 5-V output.
385. 15:21Great little Phoenix small pitch Phoenix
386. 15:23connectors there. Excellent.
387. 15:25But it's got 5 V
388. 15:2720 milliamps and or like 20 W. So, what
389. 15:31is it? 5 V at 3 amps or 5 V at 20
390. 15:34milliamps? What's going on? Oh, okay,
391. 15:36that must be 20 W
392. 15:39for the USB-C power It's actually
393. 15:41labeled there USB-C. Okay. So, that's
394. 15:43for the USB-C power delivery and we only
395. 15:46got a lousy 5 V at 20 milliamps out here
396. 15:49just for like like a little LED or
397. 15:51something.
398. 15:53Okay, like
399. 15:54is that like constant current driver
400. 15:57with 5 V compliance voltage for a LED?
401. 16:00Like driving an external LED? I think
402. 16:02that I think that's a constant current
403. 16:03output.
404. 16:05In that case, if it is, I have to RTFM,
405. 16:08but if it is, they should put CC there,
406. 16:10you know, tell you that it's constant
407. 16:12current. And you don't want any of those
408. 16:14pesky electrolytic capacitors in there,
409. 16:17either.
410. 16:18And those buggers just fail. And zero
411. 16:20screws for that. It just pops out. Very
412. 16:23nice, just held in uh flips at the
413. 16:25bottom like that. It's got the requisite
414. 16:27little springy thing for the DIN. So,
415. 16:31let's have a squeeze at the PCB. That is
416. 16:33one big ass poly put the kettle on cap
417. 16:36there. 4.7 mic there. That is absolutely
418. 16:39enormous. We have double-sided load.
419. 16:43Ooh, discharge capacitor before work.
420. 16:46Very nice spacing around there between
421. 16:49the primary and secondary. No worries
422. 16:51whatsoever. There's our output
423. 16:53capacitance for our 5-V output there.
424. 16:56And what's that jobbie? Oh, I'm going to
425. 16:59need the microscope for that. They've
426. 17:01absolutely nuked
427. 17:03the number from that one.
428. 17:05As smooth as A BABY'S BUTT. LOOK AT
429. 17:07THAT. ANYWAY, as not much to identify
430. 17:11there in the primary side drive. Got
431. 17:14LM324
432. 17:17there on the secondary side.
433. 17:20But
434. 17:21apart from that,
435. 17:23meh, there's our a couple of feedback
436. 17:26there. Couple of big shunt resistors
437. 17:28there. There's our voltage selection
438. 17:30switch. It's just got a little LED
439. 17:33indicator there.
440. 17:35And the inductory doohickey and the
441. 17:37transformer. Not much else. You don't
442. 17:40need much. There's our primary side
443. 17:42switching MOSFET there. Not sure what
444. 17:44that one is.
445. 17:46Couple of diodes shoved up the clacker
446. 17:48there.
447. 17:49And looking over at the primary side,
448. 17:52look at this. Input fuse. Very nice. And
449. 17:57that there
450. 17:58looks to be one big ass MOV.
451. 18:02Look at it. And we've got a secondary
452. 18:04one there as well. I have to pull the
453. 18:08part numbers off those, but wow, that's
454. 18:11a beast. And that looks like an X class
455. 18:14cap there and a common mode choke. So,
456. 18:17that
457. 18:18is beautiful. Well protected front end.
458. 18:21I like it that. And the USB-C jobbie
459. 18:24very similar. We've got the input fuse
460. 18:27in here. And what I thought was a second
461. 18:30MOV in parallel here, it's not because
462. 18:34they've got another one over here, which
463. 18:36didn't make sense. And putting two MOVs
464. 18:38in parallel doesn't make sense. And the
465. 18:40giveaway is the Y5V
466. 18:42in that part number. So, that's the
467. 18:45actual
468. 18:46dielectric inside this thing. That's the
469. 18:48characteristic of the cap there. So,
470. 18:52yeah, I'll pull up a data sheet. I found
471. 18:54that one. I couldn't find searching this
472. 18:56part number, but it's obviously the same
473. 18:59there. So, I believe it looks like,
474. 19:01based on the traces, that it's just in
475. 19:03parallel with the input there and hence
476. 19:07the MOV across there is protecting that.
477. 19:10So, yeah, cool. You don't usually see
478. 19:15those sort of caps. Nice. And sure
479. 19:18enough, no electrolytic capacitor. We've
480. 19:20got a poly put the kettle on there.
481. 19:22There's our USB-C
482. 19:24output jack. And we've got another
483. 19:26massive MOV there as well, is it? I'm
484. 19:29going to have to pull the part number
485. 19:30off that. Apart from that, yeah, very
486. 19:33similar arrangement to what we had
487. 19:35before, except we now have a bit more
488. 19:38smarts here because it's USB-C. So, see
489. 19:42if I can pull a number off that. Got an
490. 19:44LM324
491. 19:46again and
492. 19:48some sort of power delivery part up
493. 19:51there. They're all in one chip these
494. 19:55days.
495. 19:56Don't have to do any fancy pantsy stuff.
496. 19:58Unfortunately, only designed in Germany,
497. 20:01not made in Germany.
498. 20:03Boohoo. Anyway, these are very cool. I
499. 20:06think we might have powered them up last
500. 20:08time and had a look, but I'm not going
501. 20:09to do full performance testing in the
502. 20:11mailbag, but they look like they can do
503. 20:13the business. They're very well designed
504. 20:16and manufactured. I like them. I'll link
505. 20:19them in down below. DPS, digital power
506. 20:22systems from Deutschland. Thank you very
507. 20:24much, Hungry Minds, for sending this one
508. 20:27in. This one I was actually going to get
509. 20:30one of these myself cuz I've I've seen
510. 20:32it around and I thought that looks
511. 20:34awesome, but
512. 20:36they contacted me and said, "Hey, can we
513. 20:39send one in the mailbag?" You bet. Let's
514. 20:41take a look at it. This is going to be
515. 20:43one of these things where if you're
516. 20:46after a present for somebody,
517. 20:48though it's upside down, all the
518. 20:50electrons are going to fall out or all
519. 20:52the papers going to fall out. Look at
520. 20:54this. It's the book, the ultimate guide
521. 20:58to rebuilding civilization.
522. 21:01This is one of these
523. 21:03It's sealed for our protection. This is
524. 21:05one of these coffee table books and if
525. 21:07you're after like a present for someone
526. 21:10and you don't know what to get,
527. 21:11something like this is awesome. It's an
528. 21:14illustrated guide as by Hungry Minds and
529. 21:17it's an illustrated There's the serial
530. 21:19barcode for those playing along at home
531. 21:21and
532. 21:23yeah, let's get this open. If you want
533. 21:24to rebuild civilization, we've got a
534. 21:27postcard here with a classic ouroboros,
535. 21:30a like a dragony thing eating its own
536. 21:33tail. Awesome postcard. Hey, Hungry
537. 21:36Miner, what you're holding in your hands
538. 21:37right now is not just a book, it's an
539. 21:39opportunity to immerse yourself in
540. 21:41fascinating worlds, explore new ideas
541. 21:43and learn something new. We worked on
542. 21:45this project with passion and we hope
543. 21:46the book brings you a joy and value. If
544. 21:49you have any questions or like to give
545. 21:50feedback, contact them. There you go,
546. 21:52and hungryminds.art.
547. 21:55Is it? What? Didn't know there was a dot
548. 21:57art
549. 21:57TLD. There you go.
550. 22:00There is.
551. 22:01Sieva and Tim are the creators of this.
552. 22:04Awesome.
553. 22:05Love their illustrations. Beautiful. We
554. 22:08could get destroyed very shortly by AI,
555. 22:11so
556. 22:12yeah, it's good to have a book, paper,
557. 22:16digital rubbish that AI can't destroy
558. 22:19and then we can rebuild civilization.
559. 22:23>> [laughter]
560. 22:23>> Yeah, I was actually going to get this
561. 22:26for the dudes and cuz they love stuff
562. 22:28like this. And sorry, I'm not going to
563. 22:30be able to do it justice. It is just
564. 22:33enormous, but apparently it's an
565. 22:35illustrated guide. The story of humans
566. 22:38is a story of discovery. No matter on
567. 22:40which planet, which timeline, in which
568. 22:41branch of the multiverse you may find
569. 22:43people, they will be busy improving
570. 22:45their lives. This is our great gift and
571. 22:47our curse depending on which way you
572. 22:48look at it. We can never stop and be
573. 22:50satisfied with whatever we have
574. 22:51achieved. Yeah, AI. We'll keep spreading
575. 22:54faster, getting stronger and growing
576. 22:56bigger until we fall. Yeah, AI. The
577. 23:00ultimate guide to rebuilding
578. 23:01civilization. I hope that it helps with
579. 23:03your civilization will remain standing
580. 23:04and if not, well, at least you can add a
581. 23:06few beautiful pages to the book.
582. 23:10Now, I do believe these are all hand
583. 23:13illustrated. Disclaimer, this book is
584. 23:15designed to provide general information
585. 23:17only.

598. 23:47Look, I'm
599. 23:48not going to spoil the whole thing, so
600. 23:50I'll just flip to a few random pages.
601. 23:53X-ray, X-ray tubes, X-ray images. How to
602. 23:56do this. How to rebuild civilization.
603. 23:58How to make tea for you tea aficionados.
604. 24:01I know you're out there.
605. 24:03And animals. What do we get to do with
606. 24:06animals? I love the like the paper.
607. 24:09Look, it's like aged kind of paper.
608. 24:13Trust me, that's they've been very
609. 24:15deliberate on that. They chose this
610. 24:17paper very deliberately. It is all
611. 24:20I hope that's showing up on camera. I
612. 24:21think it is. It's like got that sort of
613. 24:24like brown old found, you know, you
614. 24:27found it in the back reaches of, you
615. 24:29know, the library somewhere and it's
616. 24:32fantastic. Traps, how to trap animals
617. 24:34and stuff like that. Food, how to make
618. 24:36I mean, you forgot how to make food.
619. 24:38There you go, cotton candy. Evaporation,
620. 24:41sugar, materials. Well, tungsten,

630. 25:08refractions.
631. 25:09Oh, vacuum tubes. There you go,
632. 25:11incandescent bulbs, electronics and
633. 25:13soldering. There you go. You're getting
634. 25:15the basics there.
635. 25:17>> [laughter]
636. 25:18>> Manufacture your own crude soldering
637. 25:20iron there. Power plants.
638. 25:23Sailing, submarines,
639. 25:26waste management, very important. I'm
640. 25:29sure it's got plumbing and martial arts.
641. 25:32This is great. Bow and crossbow,
642. 25:34everyday life. Look at this food
643. 25:36processor.
644. 25:38Oh, my god, perfume. Interesting. Words.
645. 25:42On air, long-distance communication.
646. 25:43There you go. Radio, telephone, ciphers,

649. 25:51Can't forget music. Got to rebuild your
650. 25:52civilization with music.
651. 25:55And look, isn't it just gorgeous? It is
652. 25:57absolutely
653. 25:59gorgeous. Wow, huge thumbs up to that.
654. 26:03There you go. I'll try and show you that
655. 26:06cuz it's such a big book. Try and show
656. 26:08you that. Wires and transformers,
657. 26:10electricity. [snorts]
658. 26:11That is just a thing of beauty. A joy
659. 26:15forever. So, that is absolutely
660. 26:17incredible. The book. It's called The
661. 26:21Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding
662. 26:22Civilization. I will link it in down
663. 26:24below. It's beautifully produced,
664. 26:27beautifully illustrated. I love the like
665. 26:29that'll be like acid-free paper or
666. 26:32whatever it's printed on, I think. And
667. 26:34it just looks and feels absolutely
668. 26:37beautiful. Great gift. If you don't know
669. 26:40what to get somebody, this is just like
670. 26:42absolutely fantastic.
671. 26:45And it's just a you know, it's just
672. 26:46something that you can just pick up and
673. 26:48just flick to a random page and just
674. 26:50really appreciate and maybe learn
675. 26:52something as well. [clears throat]
676. 26:54Very cool. The dudes are going to love
677. 26:57that, so I'm taking that home tonight.
678. 26:59That is a score. As I said, I was going
679. 27:00to get one, but they contacted me and
680. 27:02said, "Hey, you want the book?" Yep, you
681. 27:05bet you. What a mailbag.
682. 27:08That gets two thumbs up and a big thumbs
683. 27:11hey.
684. 27:16>> [music]
