I Saved an Electron Microscope from the Trash
(www.youtube.com)
My trash cans never have nice things
I'm always amazed what people in other parts of the world can discover dumpster diving, in surplus auctions, or in estate sales. Around here people rarely just throw out useful stuff and the estate sales are dominated by the old furniture and framed pictures of saints.
The hobos are nice most the time.
Loved this video when it first came out. Really good info on how they are built and run.
@Ludrol@szmer.info Here is the video's thumbnail.
I use an Extension called vidIQ to find and use the video thumbnail easily. The current thumbnail will be shown just below the video view count.
Working in laboratory environments also brings nice salvage every now and then.
Amazing video!
Watching this I genuinely think if you have a basic machine lab and electrical knowledge you could build your own at home with off the shelf parts.
