Claybridge - (pre-) Fuzzmaster

"... indeed a PRE-Fuzzmaster, Claybridge Sound Systems Fuzz Box! Everything was matching up: the two controls, the 15ft lead (or output cable), the sticker on the side that read the earliest name of the company; it was all there. ...

two major details jumped out as being definitive proof of its validity: A. The small white knobs used on this "prototype" were also found on a legitimate v1 Fuzzmaster, in addition to appearing on the original Fuzzmaster ads! B. The same label-maker seemed to be used on the MKIV Fuzzmasters!

... the circuit is completely encapsulated in an opaque epoxy resin. This is not unlike the infamous "brick" inside of an Ampeg Scrambler, and also not any less of a kick in the stomach for pedal nerds like myself. That initial disappointment aside, what is notable about the guts is that the enclosure seems entirely too small to hold a true Fuzzmaster circuit (which is essentially a 2 transistor fuzz that's smashing a treble booster). So even though this pedal matches most of the details described in the May 16th ad, I can't see how it would be possible to fit both the "improved" fuzz circuit and the "inbuilt treble boost" into such a tiny space. The other thing to note are the components we can see, like the two resistors and that big yellow cap hiding below the wires. Including the pots, jack and switch, everything matches up pretty well with a 1966 release. So, let's see how it sounds. ... [long fuzzologic description of the pedals sound, read here] ... No joke, and hyperbole aside, this is one of the best fuzz pedals I have ever heard. "

This is a piece I almost gave up on. I had an idea of using the mirror of a makeup palette as almost a canvas for me to paint on. Truly it was an inspired idea… as suggested by a tutor I went up to the 4th year painting rooms and wandered through them. I didn’t do this for inspiration but more for an idea of how far you can take paint as a medium when you let yourself. People were painting on wallpaper, teddy bears, fabric etc. one girl in particular had painted onto a mirror. It was more of an antique mirror with a handle to hold it.

I started this piece once in the beginning of the assemble project… then decided to give up on it but then towards the end of the year I came back to it…

I remembered I had a mirror in my makeup press at home that was once my bronzer and was now just an empty pallet … I took a picture of my eye as I wanted to create the idea of what the mirror would see while someone uses it to do there makeup but incapsulate one particular moment.

Me personally, I always wear false lashes so I’m constantly checking them to see if they’re still in place. I ran with that:

My idea was to then smash the mirror and encapsulate the pieces in the mirror with epoxy resin but as it was acrylic, the type of paint almost held it together and the broken mirror was unnoticeable. The mirror itself was also plastic so it didn’t have the desired effect. I have still taken a knife and outlined the cracks and it is displayed on my final wall.

I feel if I had spoken to a tutor more and expressed my idea I could have been given the right advice to achieve this better.

re: wooden bathtubs, there's a couple ways you can make wooden vessels watertight & protect the wood itself from the water (two different things!). none are 100% effective & eventually the wood will decay. easiest modern way to deal w/ both problems simultaneously is to encapsulate the wood in petroleum-based plastic of some kind (polyurethane varnish, epoxy resin), which basically removes the wood from the equation altogether except as a structural member (until the plastic fails from UV exposure, wear, stress, etc). you can of course also completely coat the wood in something like tar or paint, which act similarly, but then you lose the natural wood look, so we'll put those options aside.

other options are generally going to involve separating the goals of "protect wood from water" and "seal container", and will rely on the properties of the wood itself. when wood is wet, it absorbs water, which causes the fibers to swell. if a piece of wood is already closely pressed against other pieces of wood on both sides before getting wet, that swelling will make the seam VERY tight - almost perfectly watertight. (of course, this swelling also induces warping & distortion into the wood depending on the pattern of the grain, which needs to be planned for so the pieces of wood don't push each other out of alignment.)

however, most wood doesn't like being wet all the time and will start to rot pretty quickly, so you need to pick a kind of wood that won't do that, at least not on the timescale you're planning. depending on the kind of liquid you're planning on putting into the vessel (salt vs fresh water, different concentrations of alcohol, different acidities/alkalinities, amount of UV exposure, temperature, oxygen exposure), different woods do better or worse. for example, there are oaken foundation piers continually submerged in wet boggy soil in england that are close to a thousand years old. willow i believe is supposed to do well with long-term water exposure (think of the riverbank environments they normally grow in). cedar in particular is naturally permeated with lots of resins & oils that make it very resistant to rot - i would guess that the redder of the wooden baths in that picture is cedar.

also, vessels with continual water exposure usually do better at being watertight than ones that dry out & are refilled - when they dry out, the wood shrinks and the seams literally open up, causing leaks until they rehydrate.

this is so interesting and im in awe and i love you for giving such a detailed answer to my impromptu question

LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED),

LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED), also known as light emitting diode, this semiconductor element is generally used as an indicator light, a display panel, it can not only efficiently directly convert electrical energy into light energy, but also has up to tens of thousands of hours~ 100,000 hours of service life, while not as fragile as traditional bulbs, and can save electricity and other advantages.

However, no matter what kind of LED, it needs to be reasonably designed for different types of packaging, because only the packaged ones can become end point products and be put into practical application.

1. Why should LEDs be encapsulated?

The function of LED packaging is to connect the outer leads to the electrodes of the LED chip, which not only protects the LED chip, but also improves the luminous efficiency. Therefore, LED packaging not only completes the output of electrical signals, but also protects the normal operation of the die and outputs visible light. It can be seen that LED packaging has both electrical parameters and optical parameters design and technical requirements, which is not a simple task.

2. LED packaging equipment

Due to the high requirements of LED packaging, whether it is an in-line LED or a patch LED, a high-precision solid crystal machine must be used, because whether the position of the LED chip into the package is accurate will directly affect the luminous efficiency of the whole package device. If the position of the chip in the reflective cup is deviated, the light cannot be completely reflected, which directly affects the brightness of the LED. However, with an advanced PR System (pre-image recognition system) solid crystal machine, the LED chip can still be precisely soldered to the predetermined position regardless of the quality of the lead frame.

3. LED package form

According to different applications, different external dimensions, heat dissipation schemes and luminous effects. LED packaging forms are various. At present, LEDs are mainly classified according to packaging forms: Lamp-LED, TOP-LED, Side-LED, SMD-LED, High-Power-LED, Flip Chip-LED, etc

Lamp-LED (Vertical LED)

The early appearance of Lamp-LED is in-line LED, which is packaged in the form of potting. The process of potting is to inject liquid epoxy resin into the LED molding cavity, then insert a pressure-welded LED bracket, put it in an oven to let the epoxy resin cure, and then detach the LED from the cavity and form it immediately. Due to the relatively simple manufacturing process and low cost, it has a high market share.

SMD-LED (surface adhesive LED)

SMD LED is attached to the surface of the circuit board, suitable for SMT processing, reflow soldering, which solves the problems of brightness, viewing angle, flatness, reliability, consistency, etc., using lighter PCB board and reflective layer materials. After improvement, the heavier carbon steel material pins of the in-line LED are removed, so that the display reflective layer needs to be filled with less epoxy resin, the purpose is to reduce the size and weight. In this way, the surface mount LED can easily reduce the weight of the product by half, ultimately making the application more perfect.

Side-LED (side-emitting LED)

At present, another key point of LED packaging is the side-emitting package. If you want to use LED as the backlight source of LCD (liquid crystal display), the side-emitting light of LED needs to be the same as the surface-emitting light, so that the LCD backlight emits evenly. Although the design of the lead frame can also achieve the purpose of side-emitting light, the heat dissipation effect is not good. However, Lumileds invented the design of the mirror, which uses the principle of the mirror to emit side light, and successfully applies high-power LEDs to large-size LCD backlight modules.

TOP-LED (top-emitting LED)

The top light-emitting LED is a relatively common SMD light-emitting diode. Mainly used in backlights and status indicators in multi-function ultra-thin mobile phones and PDAs.

High-Power-LED (High Power LED)

In order to obtain high-power and high-brightness LED light sources, manufacturers have developed high-power LED chip and package designs. At present, LED packages that can withstand several W of power have appeared. For example, the package structure of Norlux series high-power LEDs is a multi-chip combination with a hexagonal aluminum plate as a base (making it non-conductive). The base diameter is 31.75mm, and the light-emitting region is located in its center. The diameter is about (0.375 × 25.4) mm, which can accommodate 40 LED dies. The aluminum plate is used as a heat sink at the same time. This package adopts a conventional die high-density combination package, which has high luminous efficiency, low thermal resistance, and high light output power under high current. It is also a promising LED solid light source.

It can be seen that the thermal characteristics of power LED directly affect the operating temperature, luminous efficiency, luminous wavelength, and service life of LED, etc. Therefore, the packaging design and manufacturing technology of power LED chips are even more important.

Flip Chip-LED (Clad Crystal LED)

The LED overlay packaging structure is basically made with a plurality of perforations in the PCB, and each perforation on one side of the substrate is provided with two different areas of conductive material that are open to each other, and the conductive material is tiled on the substrate. On the surface, there are a plurality of unpackaged LED chips placed at each perforation on the side of the conductive material. The positive and negative contacts of a single LED chip are connected with the conductive material on the substrate surface by solder balls, respectively, and on the surface of the side of the plurality of LED chips facing the perforation, there is a transparent sealant. The sealant is in the shape of a half sphere and is located at each perforation. It belongs to flip-chip light emitting diodes.

conclusion

According to the principle of solid-state light-emitting physics, the luminous efficiency of LED is approximately 100%. Therefore, LED is known as a new light source in the 21st century, and is expected to become the fourth generation light source after incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and high-intensity gas discharge lamps. Looking to the future, manufacturers will definitely place high-power and high-brightness LEDs in a prominent development position. The substrate, epitaxy, chip, packaging, and application in the LED industry chain need to be jointly developed and cultivated by multiple parties. Packaging is the upper and lower parts of the industry chain, and requires great attention and attention from everyone.

Lava lamp exploration - mindmap

I will use websites such as eBay to buy used lava lamps to cut costs compared to new ones. I've decided this after asking people I know if they have any they'd be willing to part with, regardless of condition; however, lava lamps seem like quite a niche thing to own nowadays.

I will also investigate different methods of encapsulating a lava lamp stuck in time by researching various types of resins. I have previously worked with epoxy on many occasions and found this easy to work with; however, I am trying to take price into consideration, but if the usual resin I work with comes on a big enough sale, I will use this.

It is beneficial to at least know about the different types of resins for future work, as epoxy isn't exactly the most healthy and safe to work with.

When working with the resin, I will have to consider that things will float if I don't cure it within layers, as I learnt within process and enquiry. It could be interesting to paint on each layer to create the effect of lava within the lamp.

I have also decided to soley focus on my grief, something I have focused greatly within HND, as I don't think I'm quite comfortable exploring aspects of my childhood within my art just yet. Even if these memories to the smallest detail have impacted me greatly into being as strong as I am today.
