Soon copper finger may be a thing of the past with this copper shortage BUY NOW!!! Before Restaurants and hospitals start replacing there stainless steel with copper.
I saw non-copper versions these for sale at a local 7-11, did someone copy your design or is it just a commonly available one that you decided to make in copper?
Send the lenses, all the cool colored glass, prisms and the heat sink to the guy who makes rings out of stuff. Have him pour different color epoxy between the fins of the heat sink and maybe glue the thin cool colored glass bits together in layers. Also send a copper finger or 10 to Eric Comment Etiquette, I'm sure he will be able to make some use of them and might even promote them for you guys. His Robot might need some fingers too...

LMAO says these are 3/4 and then show it projecting 16x9 ratio. you idiots. seriously tho... do water jets make people retarded or something?
2:15 - that was the DLP chip the light bounces off of... it's a million+ micro-mirrors that tilt over a few degrees, and aims the light either out the lenses, or onto a black wall.... once for each RGB color. It's a very cool technology, but has what's called "rainbow effect"... if you watch the projected image and "wiggle your eyes", you will see the separate Red, Greeg, and Blue images
The chip on the piece of metal at 5:15 is called a DMD, or a Digital Micromirror Device™. It is essentially an array of silicon mirrors that, as you postulated, control what light gets reflected out, on a per-pixel basis. This chip is also what limits the actual definition (SD, HD, etc) that these types projector can project which is based on how many mirrors are on the chip (as far as I understand it, at least). I actually cut one of these open and looked at it under a microscope. I also blew on it with some compressed air and I could actually see the mirrors move around (before the flew off into oblivion). Check out my Instagram post for a similar part if you want to see the tiny mirrors for yourself! Great video as always! My copper fingers also just showed up today. I can't wait to use them!
@@DanielCruz-vp7mg Still would make the whole thing stay together a lot better. Or is it a waste if only 80% of the parts stay in place? Kinda pessimistic view. It's like: "This COVID-19 cure makes 80% of people healthy in 2 days! " "Only 80%!? Naaaah, forget that." =D
You guys should be careful. You kept putting your hand right on the bisected power supply. Even when they are off, the capacitors can hold a dangerous charge
@@1992djg the water was just from splashing. it isn't going to complete the circuit when the terminals are separated by 2 90 degree corners and the length of the capacitor itself
As an engineer the lcd to me is an optical marvel cause all those mirrors and prizms have to be aligned but electrically it's actually real simple. The dlp on the other hand I'd say is a more budget perfected solution with simpler optics than lcd but more complex electronics. The problem with dlp is since only one color can be displayed at a time, when you move your head, you can see that color smear on the image. At the end of the day they both have applications...
Did you check what type of lamp was being used? A lot of older projector bulbs are (I think?) mercury vapor or similar "don't lick or huff this" chemistries.
I work at a metal shop. I worked in the shop for years and now I'm on the office side. I think $30 is pretty reasonable for the material and labor, especially considering the free shipping.
So how it works is the DLP chip is made up of thousands of tiny mirrors that either direct light through the lens or they direct the light away from the lens, the chip is only monochrome so it syncs up with the moving colour wheel and shows only one colour at a time but it updates so quickly you perceive it as a single RGB image.
@@StayMadNobodycares I think they were wondering how they knew they needed to go back over it when the water jet is set to a certain speed. For something made of a consistent known material and thickness it will have a speed that the water jet is set to to cut through but not spend longer than necessary to do so due to the expense of the process. Every time the water jet in this video goes back on itself, someone is controlling it, overriding the programmed speed and direction, to cut through something completely, but again without spending too much time doing so. I believe they've mentioned it before that it costs hundreds of dollars every time this water jet is run for one of these videos, or at least for some things they've cut, if they were to sell it or offer the service, they'd need to charge hundreds to break even.
@@markwright3161 I have suspicions that the costs of the materials aren't that much but it's the price of their service that would cost that much, Also every run can be seen as money lost because of the cost of the hardware used and the wear and tear on such an insanely expensive machine. I also imagine there to be a sensor of sorts to feed them a constant stream of information about the cut being done. Everything cant just be eyeballed.
Fun fact: DLP projectors suck. Their only good advantage is the brightness. LCD LED projectors are much better because of the LCD panel they have in them. The downside is the LCD panel dims the LED. DLPs use a chip with mirrors on them. They get stuck if the projector gets to hot which results in black dots due to these damaged mirrors. If you want a good LCD LED projector that's bright and has a good 1080P at 50in or so you will need to pay a good 1-2K. DLPs you can pickup for cheap at pawnshops. I know this because I use to have one. It was a epson I believe. It came out of a school because it had the room number and CCSD on it.
I have to ask. Do you guys ever do anything like.......productive with your waterjet machine? Or did you just buy it to cut stuff up for TH-cam? Either way is good, I just need to know!
How far will the 60ooo psi jet shoot if you aim it outward ? What about upward ? In Sumerian tablets it talks about using high pressure water to blast space rocks to clear safe passage past mars. Did you all know that ? So a water laser in a vaccum of space what effect that could have would be interesting.
I just recently watched your Stretch-Armstrong Video and wondered if you could make a similar Video about his brother, Vac-Man. Would be great if you could do that 😁
Is this the real life, is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide no escape from reality Open your eyes look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
1. DLP explanation is incorrect. The DLP chip does not process color but only reflect(project) or ditch the light shining onto it. The color wheel rotates and the DLP changes extremely quickly to reflect or ditch each colored light. 2. The lamp contains high-pressure mercury. Not the best thing to cut. Still very nice video.
What's bothering me the most is that in the US you can buy three crap projectors for 28 bucks while over here in the Netherlands people still try to sell these models for 50 bucks a piece. Cranky little scrooges over here.
Question for a QNA video in the future (or if you want to answer it here that’s fine) have you ever had a shop incident? Someone ever get hurt? You ever blow up a machine?

For once an accurate comment! DMDs are fantastic since they move so quickly to vibrate the micro mirrors.

Great Vid. I love that youre back to just cutting technical objects to see the insides. keep it up!
If all the ads were as funny as this one id watch them all and not click them away immediately 😂
You should cast the things you cut up in clear resin first. That way, everything stays in place. 😁
The inside will still fall apart.

GAMERS IN MOMS BASEMENT COULD HAVE USED THESE...FOR SHAME
Can you make template for kitchen cleaver, one you have on your site is bit small?
FWIW: some DLPs use dichroic prisms to combine 3 different images and some LCD projectors use a color wheel to temporally dither.

You should one of those cinemark projectors to cut in half, those things are giant!

I have the same problem. I used to run a projector in my room for years. Also purchased from auction. Although, mine was HD.
I think it would be fun to try and cut a hockey puck with the waterjet
I’m guessing when you say it had a hard time cutting through something, you can tell my the noise or bubbles or splash back from the Waterjet?
Bubbles below means it pierced, splash back from the object means it's struggling
They tell by the amount of time the cut takes on that area

What is the model number of the epson projector
What a suprise i didn’t learn a thing from this vid
DLP is far superior, I wish they would have conveyed how amazing and incredible the DMD units are on those! It's bananas!

Will it still work
if not i'll just return it
