  • dude, please put more videos like this. I'm a college student and this video informs a lot on electrical stuff.

  • @RAHELL19FM So true. I'm an electrical engineering student and I just learned more from this video, then my 3 years of crapping in college.

  • a masterclass in 2 mins by an 8th grader :)

  • FYI - Three universities will launch their cubesats on a NASA / LSP rocket in about 6 weeks on Feb 23rd.

    Google "NASA ELaNa" to learn more or watch the Feb 22nd webcast.

  • I don't know how high these things tumble in orbit above the Earth. For the sake of discussion have the following, regarding Ionized Plasma Layers above the Earth: D-layer 38-55 miles above the Earth E-lyer 62-75 miles up F1 125-150 miles winter and 160-180 miles summer F2 layer 150-180 miles up Winter and 240-260 miles up Summer. I think one of the HARP programs plays around with this. Satellites are vulnerable, wouldn't think it would take to many Nukes to heat the environment up. Complex.

  • Keep up the good work. Your a whole lot smarter than I am- Kid. Are not all these low orbit Sattelites vulnerable? Ionize the inosphere even more with Nukes and so forth? Food for thought. Appears you used Lithium Batteries- I want to learn more about those Capacitor Power Supplies. On a satelitite," Power is everything" ( I don't know a darn thing about Satelites). Do your own programming- good for you; I steer away from all that; of course I'm Old Man- Cheers.

  • Which batteries were you using?

  • Hello, nice presentation !

    That's wonderful, keep up the good work !

    Greetings from Romania.

  • Great video! I am an 8th grade teacher and would love to get my school radio club to build a working "model" like that. We have the parallax boards and lots of other equipment, but just need to get that frame made!

    Greetings from Mississippi

  • Great presentation Bryan
