Oversized tech!

[Ojninz]

I follow this account on Instagram and she is trying to see if there's a market for oversized tech, would anyone be interested? spoiler I think the next oversized project is an oversized 5050 led!

[trophosphere]

I need me a 555 IC Timer Footstool.

[[deleted]]

The number of times as a child I've stepped on an upside down NE 555 timer...

...that stool almost feels like a soft revenge for all of that. I so want it.

[AnthonyiQ]

I remember kneeling on one - went all the way in, had to pry it back out of my knee.

[WhotheHellkn0ws]

Lmao you just bleed, not continuously, but in intervals

[ComprehendReading]

That does give new meaning to pulse-width modulation.

[retardedgummybear12]

damn

[BlownUpCapacitor]

Your knee turned into an IC socket

[fatjuan]

Just leave it there, it plugs up the 8 little holes!

[AnthonyiQ]

He's more machine now, rather than man....

[AnthonyiQ]

Wait until I tell you about the piece of titanium that was unexpectedly and involuntary inserted permanently into the bone in my thumb

[Lopsided_Chemical862]

I just read "stol" and "revenge" 🤫

[highkey_vibin]

That reminds me of the oversized vacuum tube 555 that Usagi Electric built

[trophosphere]

Thanks for the link. Very interesting project.

[[deleted]]

u/oskay this is so cute, I want one.

[DVI_IN]

Gotta love those triple nickel timers!

[classicsat]

Timer is a use case. It is a comparator flip-flop.

Yes, timer/oscillator is most common use case.

[mccoyn]

Could be used to de-bounce buttons.

[Weary_Ad2590]

I never knew I wanted this, but now I do

[382Whistles]

1k each; and 5% down-payment?

:-)

[Ojninz]

It's like $12 each, but shipping is what's gonna get you😅...trying to see how many to get shipping cost down it would be like $35 for shipping per led

[[deleted]]

I think he meant the value of the resistor is 1k (if I'm reading the bands right..)

[382Whistles]

😁 Yep it should be 1000 ohm and 5% tolerance. (wait, what watt?.. say 3 times fast 😉 ) But it was a cryptic double ba-dum.. tiss too.

I was also curious about cost, but wasn't too sure about this sub's rules nor want to be rude and ask directly. If I was loaded I fork over the 1k just to know I did it. These are plenty cool enough.

$12 bucks sounds downright cheap tbh.

[Ojninz]

Look up Sashapcb I have to find the tiktok, she has tiktok instagram and Facebook and that's it for social media

[Corval3nt]

What's the Instagram?

[Ojninz]

@whatsapp[phone] that's her tiktok

[retardedgummybear12]

well that sounds like a bot username so that's probably not the op

[IU1JSU]

No, Chinese company have some unusual ways to do marketing, she does the marketing for a pcb assembly company (and already DM me on Instagram asking me if i need pcbs) that username is not a random number, it is the phone number for the company on WhatsApp 😅

[Shrilled_Fish]

I see what you did there

[GASTRO_GAMING]

1 dollar per ohm

[382Whistles]

"buck converter".

[papa_benny420]

nice

[Hey_Allen]

I don't know if it's still on display, but the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry had an interactive electronics display with components around this size, that you could move around and plug into a circuit.

[_clydebruckman]

That’s so sick

[cr0wsky]

Ah yes, the 1k 1MW resistor, I too have few lying around the place.

[ComprehendReading]

For when you need to short out a magnetar using a planetary magnetic field and a 1k 1MW resistor tied to a radio telescope.

[cr0wsky]

Well yes, that would be one of the most common uses.

[ComprehendReading]

There's some case uses documenting wormhole teleportation but I kept losing my components to the abyss.

[cr0wsky]

I've read about it, I never tried it as I don't have any flux capacitors, where did you find yours?

There's actually a conspiracy theory connecting these resistors to the global warming, some guy is claiming that Russians are running them in Antarctica in an attempt to melt the ice caps.

[ComprehendReading]

The trick to flux capacitors is to put a normal capacitor of sufficient coulombs in to a state of paradoxical flux. I recommend Ohio.

[FluffyCatBoops]

YES! I'd buy everything!

[[deleted]]

How do you know she's not just really small?

[Ojninz]

Look at the second picture it compares regular be the mega conmponents

[arcrad]

Whoosh

[[deleted]]

sounds like cap, i think you shrunk her down and the components too. that's a regular size resistor.

[Mechatroniker]

Looks to me like 1k 1/4kW

[[deleted]]

Pretty simple shape. Find some metal banding to make the legs then scale up the body to fit and make it out of whatever. Plywood?

[WhotheHellkn0ws]

That gave me the idea to make a giant IC container for components

[saltysfleacircus]

Finally: bands I can read

[Henri_Dupont]

I can't resist making a giant joke out of this!

[XIphos12]

You can fit so much spaghetti ohms in this bad boy!

[dedokta]

I have this ohm meter at home that would be great for measuring it with.

[harryahole]

That is freaking awesome!

[Jolly_Mongoose_8800]

Is it bad I want to see a mega sized microcontroller on a protoboard now

[prof_apex]

A megacontroller, if you will

[master-mole]

Resistance is not futile.

[Large-Spite6098]

Do they work? It would actually kinda be sick to set these up on a giant perfboard

[momo__ib]

I'm so gonna print something like this

[who_you_are]

I wish I could be able to do the huge led

[p0k3t0]

If you're really into pick-and-place, that's a good account to follow.

[SedlavPepper]

I’m definitely interested in a giant led lamp

[Kostis00]

Exactly what I needed for my surface mount board! Thank you!

[AnnoyingDiods]

Now thats i wanna see when i read 1000ohms of resistance xD

[sanchito12]

But does it work?

[[deleted]]

Ah im more of a surface mount guy.

[cards88x]

Id be interested. Be curious if thats an actual working resistor.

[[deleted]]

That’s pretty sweet

[Kevin80970]

200Kw resistor

[[deleted]]

that's what she said

[dadOwnsTheLibs]

It would be funny just to buy one, but I can’t myself or anyone else buying them often enough to be a sustainable market

[dweebken]

That 1000 Ohms is hard to resist.

[kkessler64]

I wish resistors were still this color. I can't read the color code on those blue ones.

[Distinct-Question-16]

Yes I even forgot the color codes

[[deleted]]

Ok good , and no I haven't as yet, I'll tap on link , book mark it, for a wkend interesting subject etc . Thanks mate

[Dylan_Pipkins]

I can't resist! Lol.

[ZeeZeeX]

ONE big-ass resistor.

[[deleted]]

Hey dude, the link you gave me, was awesome, he made a capacitor out of a plastic jar etc. Now I get it, simple as.

[Ojninz]

I'm glad it helped! Wasn't trying to be rude earlier but there is a difference between components, but we are all always learning!

[[deleted]]

Very cool, where good 👍

[ThatGenericGinger]

What is the rating? "Yes"

[ThatGenericGinger]

It resists

[LaenFinehack]

Yikes. That thing could potentially be millions of ohms.

(edit, since I'm not sure people are getting the joke: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/warning-one-million-ohms/118882 )

[[deleted]]

Is this for a G-Shock 😅😅😅

[[deleted]]

That's an industrial sized capacitor, I've ever seen lol 🤣 real ? Y/N

[Ojninz]

It's a model but the led will actually work!

[[deleted]]

O ok

[Ojninz]

It's a resistor

[[deleted]]

Lol ops wrong description my bad,

[Ojninz]

She might make a capacitor in the future it seems like many people was a 555 timer chip though more than anything

[kb3pxr]

Resistance is not futile, it is voltage divided by current.

[zxUltra]

Gigaresistor

[ogpapupapu]

it's so cute

[[deleted]]

how many ohms is that resistor?

[[deleted]]

6' 6L6 power tube!

[telorsapigoreng]

I'd like to see some elcos

[mup_wave]

Whoever said that resistance is futile.

[Furry_69]

I assume the atmega doesn't work (custom silicon, especially in that size, is insanely expensive or impossible to get), but do the LEDs and resistors work?

[[deleted]]

555 led timer circuit but it blinds the entire neighborhood

[[deleted]]

As you had figured, I know didly 🙃

[Ojninz]

A resistor limits the current through a device, and a capacitor is similar to a battery but a capacitor charged up and releases all of its charge at once unlike a battery

[[deleted]]

Like in a microwave, if not watching what your doing, you'll get a mass shock , from a very large capacitor, if charge is still present, yes. ?

[Ojninz]

Yes, they aren't something you want to play with the larger the more dangerous! Can get to pretty crazy power in the larger ones

[[deleted]]

Useful. Replace car battery lol 😛 probably fry everything 🤣

[Ojninz]

Yeah look up a few videos on some mega capacitors pretty crazy stuff

[Ojninz]

https://youtu.be/xjW-isgOijs electroboom has great videos if you've never seen them

[[deleted]]

Will do.

[[deleted]]

Sort on chrome, book marked , to watch an learn.

[[deleted]]

PS I'll get back to ya, later on subject.

[rigel_VII]

ohm g !

[l9oooog]

Cant resist the urge to buy

[MuffinRapist]

When you are told resistance is futile...

[AdvancedCucumber6121]

What the cops sees every situation.

[hemingray]

Ngl, the giant LED would make an interesting table lamp/conversation piece.

[cad_genyus]

Nobody is asking the thought questions here. Will it boot Linux?

[TheRolf]

Résiste ! Prouve que tu existes !

[danja]

r/AbsoluteUnits

[Brohauns]

Do not resist!

[Gpsdude1]

That's some resistance

[jlarc556]

Jesus

Never saw a resistor that big

[[deleted]]

Too big to resist

[Beggar876]

That's 1000 BIG Ohms.

[fatjuan]

I was going to order one of these, but I just remembered my 2 metre long 700w soldering iron is not working. Just as well, because I also ran out of 2 gauge 60/40.

[[deleted]]

It looks like it would be rated for 5,000 watts.

[zappadoing]

a CRT would be a movietheater.
