Re: Anybody let the magic smoke out?
Yeah, earlier this year we burned up one of last year's extra 884's on our wooden prototype. Since the muffin fan on top kept spinning (and the log cabin we work in is quite drafty) the cloud of smoke had a wonderful shape to it. When we took off the fan to assess the damage, we found that three of the MOSFETs had huge cracks in them and several of the others were melted and mis-shapen.
It was not a good day for smoke, because a few minutes later the magic smoke escaped from our Dremel as well (but it was running low on noise already, the smoke was released in an attempt to get some noise and force back inside its motor). |
