#2The entire library of scans on this site is great. It gives me a similar feeling as being a kid and playing around in 'The Way Things Work'[0].

#3Glad they're still doing these. I really enjoyed Scan of the Month and then they just stopped doing new scans after the Moka Pot.

#4Really love these scans! I would love to have on of these at home, just to tinker with devices and understand how they work.
Then I usually want to check the price, see "Talk to sales" an decide probably not the price range that is good for private use.
Nonetheless, great articles and an amazing device.

I’m sure there’s the small issue of radiological safety as well. Obviously one can be trained to not fry yourself with x-rays, but I wouldn’t, say, pick one up off Aliexpress and have at it.

#6mikeselectricstuff on YouTube did a teardown on the Omnipod wearable pump a while back, very cool mechanism.

Insulin is incredibly potent and can easily result in life-altering if not fatal consequences at relatively low ratios of the therapeutic dose, so these things need to be dialed in and extremely reliable.

#7I dont want CT scans of wearables. I want wearables that can do CT scans.

YouTube teardowns from knowledgeable engineers are a gold mine for learning how real world products are engineered. I always recommend these for early career hardware students and engineers.

well, maybe wearables that provide some sort of internal visual scans. But with CT scans delivering 70 times the radiation of a typical x-ray, I think I'd prefer not wearing a portable chernobyl.
Maybe a wearable ultrasound instead?
edit: after a little informal side-searching after posting this, I've learned that people working at Chernobyl, not in the reactor directly, but elsewhere in the sprawling site received anywhere from 1 to 100 CT scans worth of radiation. The firefighters that were on the roof received anywhere from 100 to 1,600 CT scans worth of radiation.

#10Is it just me or did the tonality in this one change towards an infomercial?
