This is a miner's cap lamp. I'll show you how it's constructed; lithium, LEDs, the usual suspects.

When all your recommended videos are from AvE or This Old Tony, you're doing something right
Glad I'm not the only one
Hell yeah
And abom79.
I still get project farm, Tom Scott, and woodworkingformeremortals as well. I won't complain
200, hell of a good point
cool to see that video at the end. fun video.. uncool taking my headlamp though. took me a week to claw myself outta that hole.
This old Tony !
This Old Tony would have been able to build this in a CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!
Love your vidz, Tony.
I'm glad to hear that being trapped in a mine is why I'm still waiting for your next video... and not that your using TH-cam to watch videos or anything ;)
Was it payback for that phonecall skit? I feel ya man :( Hope you're safe!
:P
Now open a $500 industrial Fleshlight.
"industrial"
Wolf Edmunds that’s how much my donations are, so I guess this can happen.
I heard those have little women inside
Ditto
Can they cook?
brake cleaner, used for everything but cleaning brakes
I’ve heard it’s not good for brakes
@@BrassCatcher works pretty well as hair soap
Cleans brake dust and old lube, not brake fluid. Water cleans brake fluid off.
Works great as a starting fluid sometimes actually good cut finder too
I’ve used it to clean off shoes from a leaking wheel seal 🤘
$500? That's nothing. I've spent way more than that on indoor lights to grow my....tulips.
Greencoast u in Ontario?
Right, thats like one HPS and a half. You could do a dual ballast, a lampholder, a mercury and a sodium lamp for that money.
More lux too
yeah.. also my uhh tomato plants
Only need HPS for tomatoes! cant IMAGINE what you could be growing indoors that would need the right light for lots of flowering? Certainly never seen that before....
I honestly don't get why people are still so enamoured with metal vapour lighting for this, ahem, application. The heat load is insane, and surely you can make up a more than adequate spectral profile with LEDs? Also, heat load will fuck your plants right up and heat load and power draw are things that will draw the crabs, which is not good...
My great grandfather was a miner born in Wales, who came to the USA as a miner, and was killed in a mine explosion. He was 42. I would imagine he would have paid anything for a lamp like this. Hats off to the miners, and God bless the inventors of safe mine equipment. A lot of money, yes, but the alternative down there is unthinkable.
You have got to write a dictionary of AvE shop terminology, I'd definitely buy one.
There's a dictionary on reddit. it's at reddit.com/r/ave . have fun

Watched the parody, had a few good laughs. good one!

I don't know why mimes need lights, they can just act as if they have one.
Axe Avier bring on the light memes then.
+impimpimpimpimp the strobing light is for the capuchin monkey so it know how fast to play the orgin grinder in the mimes side job, the one man capuchin monkey bad ass band
One of my workmates was very proud of his new touch screen cell phone - back when they were still a bit of a novelty. He wiped the screen down with a handy rag which cracked it instantly, the rag had some brake cleaner residue on it. The look on his face was priceless.
LOL "Break stuff for a living."
NurdRage i have the weird feeling that all of my channels watch each other.Well if AvE can do whatever he wants,technically you should :)
Collab! lmao
10 Things NurdRage and AvE have in common!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE NUMBER 7
I break rocks for $110k a year.
As the saying go' in the mining industry in my country.
Miners need everything in threes. One to break, one to steal and one to use.
I got hurt pretty bad a few years ago and it`s kept me far away from any site. To me, watching this kind of stuff and listening to this kind of talk put`s me right back into the best of my memories. I fkn love the smell of diesel in the morning and it`s fkn hard sometimes cause I was born to be in that work. It would be torture to a lot of guys, but to me...I`d give my right nut to be able to put my day in like I used to. Hope I`m not bringing anyone down, but just enjoy it while you can bro`s cause ya never fkn know is all I`m sayin. Fk it, life goes on but,,,,,sorry for this sappy ass comment, I don`t usually comment shit like this, it just had to come out for some reason. These videos are fkn awesome, takes me back.
Why not the left one
Hey man, good story. I hope you recovered well. I hope one day you can enjoy something similar.
I can identify.
I can totally appreciate what you're saying: you have a gig that's the bomb, and then it's over for whatever reason.... Like they say, "You can never go home."
Well at least you had a gig like that. So many folks never find their dream gig.
Best!
To become a miner in Australia they lock you in a rubber room for 1 hour with 3, 2" steel balls.
When they come back , if ones broken ,ones lost and the other is in your crib tin ready to go home you've got the job.
@@abdullahnurmuhammad7475 I can't tell if you're serious, or just playing along.
As an Aussie I can confirm this is true as frig
Commercial divers need 4: 1 to lose, 1 to break, one to "borrow," and 1 to actually use.
What if I get one pregnant?
@@LegionPrime then she gets a management position and 6 months maternity leave
Loved the mining footage; never had a glimpse of that before.
Only found this channel a couple of weeks ago but it's one of the most entertaining channels I've ever watched!!
The mining footage included at the end was great. I'd like to see more practical applications of your tear downs like that. Very educational!
The battery is an 18650 cell you can tell because that's the size and it also says so
AvE you can probably look it up online. If you search 18650 cells made by Panasonic you can probably match up by image with a fair amount of success
odds are 2250mah based on your video and a decent amount of comparing brand / model / product line.
they are $5 cells online
Samuel Thomas never seen a genuine 18650 that cheap unless it's really low mAh.
Wounded MONK thats the general price. they got fairly cheap due to vaping devices using them a lot. fakes are even cheaper.
really liked the actual mine video at the end.
3:02 That metal bracket would have to be non sparking if it went down a coal mine... was waiting for you to verify it with a grinder but it never came :(
Not even phosphor bronze. Another way to know it's overpriced.
could still be 300 series austenitic as it turns slightly magnetic when you bend it.
joinedupjon
I love how clever the comments sections on these videos are.
joinedupjon wore one every day in a coal mine.... it’s permissible by msha.... your point is invalid.
Given the high cost of the flashlight and the lens's solvent resistance, I would say that it is likely the PC lens has been annealed. Annealing polycarbonate increases both its impact strength and solvent resistance but skyrockets the price. You heat up the part relatively slowly to 250-275 F (just below the GT temp) , let the temp equalize, and slowly cool it down over several hrs. Takes prolly somewhere between 6-10 hours or more. I worked in injection molding for a few years and the most "annealing" we ever did was closing a box full of parts while they were still hot lol
Never seen a crescent wrench with a hammer built in.
+1 just for that.
Haha. I bought that same wrench from McMaster Carr as a joke because my high school machining teacher kept yelling at us not to use the adjustable wrenches as hammers.
It has a 'thumb detected circuit " built in. It goes for the thumb of the operator.
It works every time. Hockey tape time.
The most dangerous tool in the shop is... YOU.
The miner at the end is a friend of my sisters. Kinda neat to see you add that video in.
"there's no silica in the mines anymore..." As I'm loading silica sand into rail cars at a mine...
I think he was saying that sarcastically
just a single 18650 cell? thats really cool. this is just like that orange light you sent me years ago. this was your best video in a while, mostly because mining is really cool. :D
6:05 thats the BMS circuit, it most likely just makes sure the cell doesnt go above 4.2v or bellow 3.6v. i dont think they have single use fuses on them, i think its all electronic if it shuts off power.
Back when I worked at an injection molding factory, little brass threaded inserts similar to the ones in that lens were not molded with the part. They were put in using an ultrasonic welder. This was on parts like speaker grills for Motorola, and other similar parts.
Every once in a while the machine would go haywire and emit this high pitched screeching noise that made you want to shoot your ears off.
I HAVE NEVER SUBSCRIBED TO A CHANNEL FASTER THAN YOURS.....
That's alotta cheddar for a flesh...er flashlight
Always enjoy seeing industrial stuff like this on the bench. I found that video clip you included at the end super interesting though, I know in the past that you've told people not to ask what you do but I think myself and others included would be really interested in seeing some more "insight" into industry vidjeos like that, from your perspective. Just a thought. Congrats on 350k subs man.
Bro-nan,
You’ve got the best channel on TH-cam. The measure of a man is in the vastness of his metaphor, analogy, and capacity-to-make-up-words-on-the-fly ocean. Your ocean is wide and deep. I think that our rapper friends call that being a wordsmith. In all sincerity, the breadth of knowledge, interests, and skills you possess is truly amazing. And you have very clean hands for a man.
Greetings from a fan in southern Arizona-Stan, where people still try farm in the desert.
Danger Top 3 in mining.
1) Runaway equipment.
2) Moose (!?!)
3) Fire.
I thought it was Loose. Now I have no idea whats loose, but apparently it's dangerous!
Loose (rocks or anything that falls)?
Oh your definitely right haha
I think he said "Loose" (as in, loose overhead rocks, which can and will fall on you), not moose
Illuminating
Thank you for explaining polarization and glass stress. This explained to me why windshields have an odd rainbow look when I put on polarized sunglasses.
Thanks for the Jory Dion part. I mined in Elliot lake back in the late 70s. His videos brought back memories of my youth, I got hired right out of high school along with a lot of my friends. Also great to show my son (now 26) what his Dad did at 18. Merci beaucoup!
"Thumb Detecting Nutfucker" gets me every time. Got to love the lingo.
I read "$500 Fleshlight"
hopefully youre getting what you pay for there lol
Heh, me too. I'm glad I was wrong.
I hear they are not sold to minors.
Ian Colquhoun if you're brave
Thanks for mentioning Jory's channel. I've been watching all the mining videos on Cody's Lab lately. Very enthralling. Never thought mining would be so interesting. As are all the tools, problem solving and geology/chemistry.
Love how the lamp (Polaris, made by NTL) is actually measured using Lux vs common Lumens. Always dislike getting a measurement in Lumens as it is a bit of a idiot test, sure that light may be 1500 Lumens but how bright it is depends of what type of lamp it is (huge ceiling fixture vs handheld torch) while Lux is a measurement (basically) of how bright the light will actually appear when in use (bit more crap goes into it but that's the gist)
Canada makes stuff? that's nutz!
Snocrash We make snow balls and sell South too
Snocrash Canada actually makes a ton of stuff a lot of stuff I use everyday is made in Canada and it's usually made decently unlike shitty China!
Wow snowcrash. Didnt expect to see ur comments here.
google Canadarm2 :) they make lots of fantastic stuff

"Anything you think is uniform is not uniform" life lessons in the garage
My stepdad is an electrical engineer and when I was little I used to take shit apart all the time because I was curious how it worked. Flashlights,VCRs,our TV. He would come in and find me taking shit apart and get mad and then calmly explain to me how everything worked as he put it back together. This youtube channel is like a mix of 8 year old me and my really smart step-dad.
when you use a bridge rectifier in a DC circuit it removes the polarity bias on your charging terminals... this means it doesn't matter which one you hook the positive or negative to. It will correct itself.
Pffft. Not fer the feint hearted? I were downt coal mine ont coal face at 14 years of age, never did me any harm.
OK, it was a school visit, for 6 hours.
Those threaded metal inserts in the clear lens are actually probably "ultraset" inserts.
Truly molded-in have to be set onto pins in the mold, and that would usually be done by hand (as is mold clearing and reset). That's way too fiddly and PITA (especially in gloves, since the mold is hot) and ends up expensive in labor time and how often the mold can be shot.
Ultraset inserts get used a lot because they can be set in a cold part, long after molding.
The insert gets set just into the molded-in hole (usually counterbored a bit, to located the insert; with the main part of the hole being smaller than the OD of the insert's knurling). Then a pin is inserted into the insert connected to a device that vibrates the living daylights out of it at ultrasonic frequencies.
That vibration heats the insert up and melts the surrounding plastic, allowing the insert to be pressed down into the hole. Once the plastic cools, it's as tough as a molded-in would have been, without having to screw around with tiny inserts inside a hot mold cavity.
That device is called an ultrasonic welder and the contact point is called the horn. I used to use one of those for installing threaded brass inserts in plastic electrical enclosures at a factory job i had once...
BillCosbyEatsBabies word
Will McCammon s
Actually a lot of it is automated today and has been for years. The machines probably insert on the mold and also extract the finished part
I really get a kick out of your sense of humor! Cracks me up and is informative at the same time! Keep up the great work!
+AvE I previously managed a couple of NAPA stores. We always had cans of brake clean for store use. Every so often, an employee would grab a can to clean his/her glasses. If they had poly lenses (most do) and grabbed the wrong can it would render them completely useless instantly.
Battery is an 18650, 18mm diameter 65mm length... Ave you know this!
He'll mean what capacity it is
he meant mah, and discharge amperage...
LOL at the regular power tool used in mines... Like lets use $500 worth of 1S1P 2 LED lamp that is HazLoc approved, sealed and stuff then use just a regular, $100 sparking power drill that will explode that methane instantly...
He was talking about batteries
03056932R not allowed to be used past the last open cross cut other areas are considered liberated of methane
Brushless drills don't spark
@@sh115067 How bout when you connect or disconnect the battery with the trigger pulled? Would you do it in a room charged within the explosive limits?
Kudos brother, I appreciate your expertise and your style!
Great video! When you were talking about the tempered glass, I believe the word you were looking for was "grains". If I remember correctly from my materials class, tempered glass is similar to tempered metals in that they've disrupted the formation of the crystal structure in the part. So you end up with small clusters of crystals, or grains, intersecting each other at odd angles, and like you said, creating large stresses within the material, making it stronger at the expense of making it brittle.
Ave here's your protection circuit. Single cell ov uv and oc Thirmister included
www.vectureinc.com/wp-content/uploads/VC3030-Data-Sheet.pdf
made in Canada! I wanna buy some of those protection circuits :(
soundspark lmfao hell no. this is for small IoT lipo powered projects
yeah, why fuck around hey? Those ICs are pretty cheap, and although normally in hobby applications people take perverse pride in cobbling together their own reinvention of the wheel, lithium batteries are fussy as fuck, and dangers of charging or discharging them wrong them include but are not limited to limiting battery life, fucking the battery permanently, fire, explosing and death. So yeah, why fuck around when a 50c part can do the job? Also, even big companies like Apple often fuck it up, so yeah. Why fuck around? But I repeat myself...
Is that why tempered auto glass looks funny through good quality polarized sun glasses?
no, see www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1eqhx2/why_do_i_see_dots_on_tinted_car_windows_while_im/
+Bjørn H. What do you mean “no?” The link *you* posted says that *is* the reason.
I watch your videos to relax.Thanks for doing them.
That video at the end took me back, some of my best working days were spent down the mines!
All of my hammers have a thumb detector built in.
6:06
It's a overcharge/discharge protector. It shuts of the circuit if you go over 4.2 volts, or under 3.0 volts?
Dan R. Hansen um are charging stands we’re set for 3.8 v
Happy new year! I found your channel a couple days ago and subbed immediately.
Informative videos and a foul mouthed Canuck.
That's about all I want.
hat's off to ya for spending your hard earned cash just to tear things apart and show us.
Somehow I feel brighter now. Thanks for the vid.
Nice mining light, but a big rip off. Sounds like a price the govt would pay. LOL
I've broke two of them stainless clips lol
this guy is my favorite youtuber, gets me to gigle every like 4 seconds
Dude, you are my idol. Thank you so much for these videos, probably some of the most engaging content on TH-cam by far. Appreciate everything you do for those of us average joes in our trenches in the geerage and/or backyard shed. How-to's, tool reviews and teardowns, and hellishly funny content to bring it all together in a fantastic package... Pure genius! If you ever find yourself on the other fence of Canuckystan in the Halifax area I'd love to meet you in person and pick your brains a bit...libations on me!
really enjoyed the video. that's the exact cap lamp I use lol.
thanks for the mention. 500 subscriptions overnight
EXCELLENT WORK.....LOVE YOUR STYLE....YOU COULD BE A STAND UP COMIC...
Ordered up 2 of them mother suckers.
Been watching for a minute now. Keeps my stress down between harness builds and board troubleshooting.
Wowee, that's a cool light! I should show my husband this video, he loves this stuff!
I fuckin love you! I can't wait to watch more videos! I'm subscribing now!!
"A little.. condom for lack of a better word!"
You know perfectly well that there's a better word.
Glad you folks in Kanucktistan still mine. We have filled ours full of water down to a mile deep. We also have an open pit that we have filled full of water and just waiting for her to blow into town. Butte, Montana.
Interesting video of the miner at the end. Always cool to watch someone very experienced do a difficult and physically demanding job.
Any way you could tear apart a few coffee makers and analyze their "engineered to fail" sort of stuff please?
I'm sick and tired of buying a coffee maker every year
Tyler C just buy a kuerig. i fuckin love the thing. i use 20 times a day. just run some vinegar through it quarterly and its a beast. thank me later
T C The reasonably priced Philips with included thermos next to me has been doing fine for more than 5 years with similar maintenance.
Cure - Rig coffee maker? Problem is you have to drink the tainted hot water after you've brood it.
My family has had the same coffeemaker for close to a decade and it’s still works just fine. Maybe dont shop at Walmart LOL
Buy a drip filter and a kettle. If the kettle breaks you can use a pan and a blow torch to heat the water. Jobs a good un!
I hope somebody has mentioned theFahkThatCouldntFocus youtube channel by now.
I heard that channel is pretty good =)
+theFahkThatCouldntFocus lol
Fantastic Video AvE. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Loving the materials talk for some freakish reason, took some classes on it 10 or so years ago but decided I didn't want to drive a freakin computer for a living. keep it up bud!
It looks like an 18650 battery.
18650= 18 mm diameter X 65 mm in length. "0"= round.
A Panasonic CGR18650EA to be exact based on the label it's clearly in focus around 5:42, I think that line had roughly 2500 mAh nominal capacity on the specification.
And they handled up to 5A discharge well enough based on the 2 of them that I've used over the years. Wouldn't know what the actual datasheet specified for them, I just know they held up to that for a good while in my use (acceptable operating temperatures of the cells, so definitely not too much internal resistance)
Extra stuff And it's a relatively recent one, having the same wrapper as the famous NCR18650B (older Panasonic 18650s came with a different wrapper)
Model Number: CGR18650EA Nominal Voltage: 3.6 Typical Capacity (mAh): 2550
NetRoller3D : the NCR19650B is not that great of a battery it has a max discharge rating of only 4.87amp the NCR18650GA Is a Much better 18650 3500Mah & 10amp discharge rating
Regarding the "Made in Canada" stamp... I worked in a bicycle shop for a while in the past, and I remember having a discussion with the owner about the these "Made in [somewhere besides China]" labels. They don't always have the highest level of "truthiness". There are regulations controlling how products are labelled, but there are ways around them. The word "made" can be defined very loosely.
For example, I could order a batch of 10, 000 widgets from Generic Mass Production Facility #1001 in sunny Shenzhen. When the widgets are delivered to my Canadian "production facility" (i.e., warehouse), I could then "manufacture" my finished product (i.e., apply company branding and repackage). Since the final stages of production occurred in Canada, I could proudly declare my overpriced junk to be "Made in Canada".
love your reviews man they make me happy!
appreciating the mining scene because of the underground iron mining done here, back in the day...earliest days the men had a candle for light often pinned to a felt hat, and the junior guy is holding the steel while the other guy is double jacking with an 8 or 10 pound hammer
I was expecting ya to spray the lenses with second brake cleaner fluid then mash it with the nut fucker and say, see right half in two!
$500 seems a bit steep for a flashlight.
it's industrial
Barnacules Nerdgasm In what you're more used to, $350 'ish USD, maybe seems less crazy
Barnacules Nerdgasm It's because it's explosion proof rated (ATEX regulations here in europe). The cost comes with the testing and certification - it costs tens of thousands of pounds/dollars for which in the grand scheme of things is a low volume specialist product, and as ave said, there's a huge liability issue, a mine goes boom because of your lamp - that's one big law suit!
Barnacules Nerdgasm i like your morning coffee streams.
when your life depend on it it's still cheap
Same situation with fire service equipment. They make a company jump through a LOT of hoops to certify everything we use. BUT they also are there to take the heat in the event that an item fails in service and causes injury or death.
miners need that light to
stay

$500 Canadian... Isn't that like $38 American? 😆
toadamine which is .50 British 😁
i thought you used acetone to crack polycarbonate? works on cd's (remember cd's?), this is probably a bit thicker tho.
mmmhorsesteaks i thought cds where acrylic
Nope, poly. #TheMoreYouKnow
yes it does, i can personally attest to brake cleaner DESTROYING my acrylic water-cooling loop on my pc.
I've had acrylic spontaneously crack from cleaning it with IPA
Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) One theory is that the liquid can diffuse into the polymer, causing swelling which increases the polymer’s chain mobility, this would be increased if the polymer surface is damaged or under stress.
I accidentally destroyed an acrylic motorcycle wind-shield when I tried cleaning it with Isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol), it was OK till I got to the edges, then it crazed.
Our cap lamps were China specials in Aussie underground. Funnily enough I used to work for a Canadian company. Battery tools weren't allowed in some places we worked, mostly everything was a compressed air tool.
Warm up the plastic slightly, then brake clean it, cracks lovely!! I did it for a cool effect on some poly carbonate before
Do you watch Trailer Park boys?
Nathan Aaron he just opens the window and watches live
No he lives it...
Well I'll be diddley'd.
I have one of these! I didn't really know what it is but, my Stepdad was a paramedic at a mine in northern Canada. He became afflicted with lung cancer and unfortunately passed away. The mine sent all of his belongings and for some reason this was a part of it, didn't completely know what it was so, good to know.
You're just an ocean of knowledge, thanks for sharing!
by the way that's an 18 650 battery
Looks too thick to be an 18650; I'd say 26650.
Even with the very clearly showing 18650 text on it?
It's right in the battery.
I believe he was referring to the ah. Jeezlus Fuuuk!
3400mah
we are going to be ok now here in the usa
ken ezzell you want to settle for okay? We could have been better than that but apparently we're too stupid to make the right choice
We're too stupid? Oh! I didn't know that. That changed my mind! Thanks. Very helpful.
Would you employ anyone for a professional job like a doctor, lawyer or pilot with no experience in that profession?
No? Good luck America. ( That touch paper was blue wasn't it?)
Harvey Smith What makes you think "politician" is a professional job? 😉
I think you will find it is "you are a...."
I worked on a snowmaking crew on 12-18 hour shifts in negative degree temps. These lamps took a beating; iced up, freeze and thaw and all the other abuse we could throw at em. These lights are tough.
When i was a teen i used to use one of those drills for putting steel rods in to concrete foundations, we never used a jack to help push and hold up the drill it was all done by hand and often had to hold the drill above my head, they are bloody heavy, much like a air jack hammer
how did you come to know so much about everything??
Study. Like astronomy? Pick up a book and study. Simple really.
These days you don't even have to read. Just listen to audio books about anything you could possibly want to learn about. (Although pictures might be helpful in some instances. lol)
I find study and practice, recently wanted to learn about quads, so I build a 250 racer whilst learning. 3 months ago I wouldn't have the foggiest about PID's and how to set them up. Now I understand the math behind it all.
This guy has all knowledge about materials their uses etc. Just curious as to what his profession was to gain said knowledge
Hmmm, I'd say a long career starting out in electrical engineering? Maybe start there.
What language is this guy speaking?????
No wonder we can't understand the tool.
The tiny board on the battery is a little Battery Management System or BMS.
It protects the cell from over- and undervoltage, overload and overtemperature, by shutting off the power via two MOSFETs (connected in a way that the internal body diodes are anti-serial).
It automatically resets when the voltage/temperature is in the allowed range again.
Best subscription on youtube I've yet encountered... Thank Canada!
Wow! I was really surprised at how much circuitry was in that lamp. It seems like overkill to me, and it feels like it would be more unreliable. All it needs to do is switch a couple of LEDs and charge a cell.
As was pointed out in the video it also has to NOT be able to create an explosion.
Bruce Levitt true
A Nobel prize was awarded for what led to the invention of blue (and therefore white) LEDs.
Manly end-effectors you got there Moose-kin. Horrible for modern teeny tiny gizmos. You must type with your pinkies.

@ 8:11 is the reason why I keep watching your videos.
