#lithium batteries are freaky...

[nxva-blogz]

Hey, that happened to my puter once!

My computer if I didn't replace the lithium battery /j

Update

Soooo there won't be any computer digital art for a while

My battery has expanded all of a sudden most likely due to gas build up as it's hot. Keep in mind that it's been off and unplugged for the past two weeks. So until further notice, all art will be done traditionally or on my tablet/phone

We have gotten the back off and relieved the pressure from where the battery has expanded but the last 2 screws holding the rest of the battery on are not budging

Good News: Pressure is relieved and the battery is not hot or smoking.

Bad News: No computer art until further notice and the last screws are not coming off.

We currently don't have a car cause my mum is at a Christmas party but I've notified her. She'll have a go at the screws when she gets back but we're taking the computer into Harvey Norman either way. Once we get the battery replaced, everything should be a-ok. I'm a lil panicky cause yk.. expanded lithium battery... And cause this computer has a lot of important things on it...

But that's as it stands for now, Please Stand By

100 (one-hundred) animatronic android bodies. Electro-static activated polymer based synthetic musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal system is designed in semblance to the human skeletal anatomy. The material used for the skeletal system is a very sturdy and heat resistant plastic polymer material for it's artificial bones/having the benefits of long lasting strength, durability, low density and low cost. The electro-static polymer based synthetic muscles are lubricated with a synthetic oil to reduce the chances of damage happening in the materials from friction. The skeletal system holds in place 2 (two) miniature electronic gyroscopes that are connected using wiring to a computer processor that is contained inside of the body cavity of the animatronic android's torso. The processing unit modulates and distributes information from the artificial nerve sensors embedded underneath the exterior silicone skin that covers the entire body of the animatronic android (while also having internal sensors that might for example alert the catminion that it's energy levels are getting low); that skin which is also finely grafted with synthetic fur. The processor is shaped and sized as a compact rectangle, similarly the lithium ion battery is the same proportions as the processor and they sit atop one another neatly. Above the battery and processor is the artificial lung system which is actually a type of miniaturized ventilator with tubing to direct air through an artificial voice box demonstrated here: https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/medical-robots/freaky-robot-mouth-learns-to-sing

An artificial robotic tongue controlled with electro-servo motors that are preprogrammed with movements that correspond to vocal pronunciation of vowel sounds, exemplified here: https://youtu.be/eXR8CaTuSbE

The entire body from foot to neck is controlled by the artificial electro polymer skeletal muscular system (except) for the cranium of the animatronic android body. The cranium will be designed with electro-servo motors embedded beneath the silicone skin to create the ability for rudimentary facial expressions. For example https:

The eyes are crafted using up to date digital optical cameras and the auditory system is created using modern microphone hardware embedded in the cranium inside of the ears and are made to be imperceptible to anyone unfamiliar with the technical nature of the droid. The (cat minion) animatronic android is controlled wirelessly via a disembodied humanoid central nervous system that is formulated by using genetically engineered and in vitro cloned stem cells that are grown around a biocompatible 3D printed scaffolding structure in order to organically merge the parts of the central nervous system together and develop an entire completely formed humanoid brain with vestigial peripheral spinal nerve attachments that do not require any need for actual bone structure.

The idea is to render the moving images captured by the animatronic android's eye cameras and with conversion software algorithms display the exact series of images with a layered texture superimposed over the original images captured:

TOTAL teardown of a lithium phone battery.

You can now buy me cake and things to take apart at:- https://www.patreon.com/bigclive

So this started off as just trying to see how the circuitry was mounted in a lithium cell. I should really have discharged it first as it got a bit freaky at times.

But this is a total teardown. Not just cracking out the circuit board, but the whole case and then the guts of the cell too.

And more batteries! For anyone who's wondered what's in there.

Samsung: The new S8 Won't Blow Up Your Car

Last year was a rough one for Samsung. That glorious and amazing Note 7 Phablet hit the market and everyone into carrying phones the size of cinder blocks that don’t have an apple on the back was super stoked. Well, until those phones went rogue and started self-destructing in people’s pockets, homes, and even cars. Truth be told, who knows if Samsung really told the truth, but the problem was supposedly related to the batteries used in the would-be halo phone.

There were some crazy videos out there that included a lithium-charged explosion in someone’s pocket, but one of the more recent stories before the phones were disabled was the story behind a family that nearly avoided tragedy thanks to their need to stop at home and offload something before continuing about their day of yard-sell hunting.

Long story short, a Note 7 was left charging in the center console, and next thing you know the family jeep found its Jeep heaven. Fast forward a few months to today, and Samsung is set to make its next big release, this time in the form of the next-gen Galaxy S8 lineup. As such, the brand is doing everything it can to prove that these new phones won’t explode and take out your home, Jeep, or girlfriend checking out your phone in the middle of the night.

So far, the brand has released three different ads, two of which include quick peeks into the testing each phone goes through before being shipped out and put on the shelf. In the video above, you even get to watch the battery get punctured by what one could only describe as a freaky mind probe from a science fiction movie, but it doesn’t blow up. The phone is even shown operating in excessively cold temperatures and being bent under pressure without any big boom taking place.

Apparently, the brand now has what it calls a seven-point battery test that ensures each battery is free of defect. But, let’s be honest; won’t a part of you wonder if the S8 will try to kill you too? Check out the video above to see Samsung’s “toughest safety testing ever.”
