    It's now 2023 and that battery is still working, impressive.😁

    Returned to this video years later.
    The teardown was familiar but that monologue about dying in an avalanche… I damn near had a panic attack just listening

    The avalanche situation description woke the claustrophobic me I never knew was there, jeezless

    that wasnt a high voltage line it was a coax carrying signal, its in coax form s it can have grounded shielding to mitigate interference, also u dont have to treat those lithium ions like their radioactive lol :p the only precaution u should take, whiches not doing it somewhere where it can spit flaming plastic n metal down in n on shit to start a fire, u didnt do lol so i wouldnt worry about them at all if ur not worried about them takin ur shop

    406 was a triangulated emergency signal.

    You get more like 45 minutes if you have an avalung (as long as you actually have it in your mouth). Still often takes every bit of that to get you out of a 3m burial, especially if you are only rolling with one partner.

    There's a device called an 'avalung' popular with backcountry skiers, that if used properly can greatly increase the amount of time an avalanche victim can survive before suffocating- from 15 minutes without it, to nearly an hour according to Black Diamond. Of course that's still not much time, but if you and your friends are all equipped with beacons, shovels, and probes, and are trained in how to use them, that very well could save your life.

    While you're always pretty screwed if you're trapped in an avalanche, quite a few people have been lucky enough to survive thanks to avalanche beacons and other safety equipment. Inflatable airbags are another innovation that apparently increases your odds of either not being buried, or not being buried as deeply.

    This for when you want to be found when you traveled to where you didn't want to be found.

    At RF frequencies, the pixies can fly

    No offense but it sounds like you just training all of us on Avalanche safety. LOL

    What’s the difference between a battery and a capacitor

    Where the fuck was the HPHT? I say in 2020 lol

    They are for light with aircraft I have fitted many of them over the years I have a very small personal one from the Aus government survey aircraft ✌️🛠😎
