Nuclear physics applied in smoke detectors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nuclear-physics-applied-smoke-detectors/
by robertgawron.blogspot.com: Not many people know, but in some smoke detectors, radioactive materials play an essential role. Today I will present one of those devices, and my -successful- attempt to reverse engineer it and get the circuit diagram. Nuclear physics applied in smoke detectors – [Link]

Sonicare toothbrush teardown: microcontroller, H bridge, and inductive charging
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sonicare-toothbrush-teardown-microcontroller-h-bridge-inductive-charging/
Ken Shirriff did a teardown of a Sonicare electric toothbrush: The photos below show the top and bottom of the toothbrush internals. I expected to find a simple, low-cost mechanism, so I was surprised at how much complexity there was inside. The vibration mechanism (right) is built from multiple metal and plastic parts screwed together, requiring […]

Christer Weinigel did a teardown of OWON SDS7102 oscilloscope. He explained how its internals are connected, ported Linux to its Samsung SoC in the scope, succeeded in getting its peripherals working, and set to work programming the Xilinx FPGA that’s responsible for signal processing. One of the reasons I bought this specific scope was that I […]

Teardown: 12V AC adapters
https://www.electronics-lab.com/teardown-12v-ac-adapters/
Michael Dunn has done three teardowns of the worst 12V adapters and what he found is interesting. Yes! Can you believe it? This board used to be in another adapter housing, or more likely, in an end-product. It seems Chinese manufacturing has sunk to a new low: repackaging used and/or surplus power supplies. On the plus […]
