The designers said using a heavy speaker would eliminate the need for ballast weight. In reality, they just wanted us to feel the sick bass drop. This could be made into a bit of a meme along the lines of Jack Black's Sax-A-Boom.
Not jewish either, but my kids did something with this at school and the craft they made has been hanging on my wall for a few weeks. Gimel - take all Nun - Take none Hay - take half Shin - put one in
what a clever little design for something seemingly so frivolous and bink bonkity. I always really liked those clear blue plastics too. My favorite is that clear pink plastic thats similar to that blue.
The speaker and how it was done was clever and showed some care in the design even though they were going for a low price. The entire box works as a speaker box in sort of an "air suspension speaker" mode since it isn't vented at the back side of speaker other than the small hole for the battery strip. I suspect they do differential PWM directly to the speaker and rely on it to do the "integration" instead of having an LC filter. With a dynamic speaker that will work because for most of those the high frequency impedance is high so you don't end up with a lot of power going into the out of band high frequencies. *********************** Merry whatever you do this time of year to all.
I think blobbed is still cheaper but not by much so if you are making less than a zillion of something the SMD will be the way to go. These days, you can also get a micro-processor factory programmed for less than a custom chip if your volumes are not zillions. The micro looks a lot like a PIC micro controller with almost no RAM and some instructions missing. They are so cheap, I expect that in some cases where they needed more done, they would just put two of them in there.
Dreidel dreidel dreidel, Made on a 3D printer. Dreidel dreidel dreidel, Goes beep beep beep all winter. Seriously though it would be badass if you put a Bluetooth receiver in there and made it into a tiny guitar amp!
This one was molded but you could likely 3D print with clear stuff and get quite a nice look. If you want to be extra fancy, you can do a tune with some harmony in the manner people did years ago on a PC speaker. The basic idea is that you can only feed a 1 or 0 to the speaker but if you take two notes, and work out a sort of average frequency and a difference frequency, by pulsing the average at the difference rate, you get something that sounds almost like two notes if you take the right drugs and have lost your hearing.
As I learned from Leonard Nimoy in "I am Spock", Shin is the first letter of the word Shadai, meaning god, and his peaking as a child during a ritual in his synagogue, saw the rabbi with arms outstretched with his fingers splayed out, which inspired the Vulcan Salute with its 3 points. 🙂
You forgot to line up the battery stick slot 😊
Keen eye! Yes I did - but when I put it away I rectified that. Full Bridge Rectified!
The name of the tune is "lambada". It was very popular in Brazil and South Europe
Somewhat popular in the Netherlands too due to some of the lyrics being misheard.
@@foorje Same in Italy. "Un momento che fica no ha" :D
Didn't Shakira do a version/cover of this song at some stage?
Also in Germany for some reason, haha.
@@simonilett998 You are probably thinking of the Jennifer Lopez song that sampled the melody a while back.

Should have set the little stem into a hand drill and let er rip! LOL
Nah, bung it in a Dremel and have it spinweld.
@ lol. Goin for that extra high rpm.
The song in the other one is called "Lambada", it was very popular here in Europe in my youth back in the 80's or 90's if i remember correctly.
A remix could do it all day
Small children would be excited that they're able to read the lyrics and it'd reinforce their reading skills
... doubly so if the parents acted impressed
on STS-61 mission, space shuttle Endeavor, specialist Jeffrey Hoffman demonstrated a dreidel during Hanukkah in 1993. just sayin..
Not jewish either, but my kids did something with this at school and the craft they made has been hanging on my wall for a few weeks.
Gimel - take all
Nun - Take none
Hay - take half
Shin - put one in
Do some guitar pedal videos fran from your collection!!! Love to see that
Hanukkah is my fav holiday ☺️ thanks for sharing this
Thank you, Fran Lab for featuring the wonderful holiday of Hanukkah on your channel!
Oh wow. Seeing that pink top brought back a memory I forgot I had. We had that exact one when I was a kid back in the 90’s. Same shrill song.
Someone is gonna sample and loop that right from your video.
Tis remix season.
Love Hanukkah 🕎 Wooden Dreidel game,
what a clever little design for something seemingly so frivolous and bink bonkity. I always really liked those clear blue plastics too. My favorite is that clear pink plastic thats similar to that blue.
4:12 It is kind of Brazilian lambada, watch?v=uBnnTyeAOL8
Hi Fran. A very Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great holiday season.
P.S. Apparently, the dreidel song is in the public domain.
Song, yes - renditions would be a different matter. But this one cleared the hurtles.

How to annoying friends and piss off enemies
If you use compressed air you can get that thing spinning like mad.
I hear that song as a default sound when I work on some claw machines
I know the lyrics because of Trey Parker's little cartoon.
I wondering if the epoxied blob on a PCB is not any cheaper than simply using a surface mount chip these days?
I think blobbed is still cheaper but not by much so if you are making less than a zillion of something the SMD will be the way to go.

You mismatched the slot for the battery separating pull-tab. The part with the plunger should have been rotated 180 degrees from how you put it back.
Well no wonder it keeps flopping over... The innards of that thing don't look to be very well balanced. >_
Moving fingers in wrong direction is the reason of fail to spin it nicely. 😎

@@kensmith5694 Well yeah, a fast enough PWM system can replicate anything you want. That's all Class D amps do.
Wonder if anybody's made a spinning top for the spinning cat meme.

touch the ckt board speed it up add a pot slow it down
I believe the song is public domain
It sounds sort of like Eric Cartman...I had one of the electronic tops...the cat loved it. Didn't someone try getting a copyright on nature sounds?
Centre of gravity is off. My plain wooden ones spinnned well. They never told me how the game works, though I know the alphabet.
Oh Fran! Make it stop! 🤪
O deo, o deo*... That was enjoyingly annoyingly fun 😂
*that's how it sounded to me...
yo yo yo.............
Rest of the (brain-dead) world: wtf is a dreidel
It is a Jewish spinni9ng toy and that is all I really know about it.
AVP 👽
Yeah just today / commercial / well it was yesterday / and the day after / so /well they're arrogvating / yeah , they need it /sweet /
Ummmm......WHAT?!
❤️🔥FRAN❤️🔥
Should have oiled the spring for the weight. Minus 5 points Gryffondor.
