This teardown is great!
At my work, we have an X-ray machine for PCB reverse engineering. On Fridays we throw in random stuff from around the office, and sometimes make videos about what we find inside.
A few weeks ago we released an X-ray teardown of several other, older chargers. Very interesting to compare with these fancy new ones!

- copperx 1y agoWould a CT scanner work better for your use case? (ignoring cost)
- arccy 1y agodon't those have giant magnets....
- tecleandor 1y agoThat'd be an MRI. A CT is, simplifying, an x-ray machine that takes lots of images in slices, then analyze them with certain algorithms to reconstruct 2D and 3D images of the interior of the 'subject'.
- cenamus 1y agoWell, not really in slices, but from all angles. So with a computer you can reconstruct the density of whatever you're imaging and also do the slices
- tecleandor 1y agoYeah true, I was still half asleep and couldn't explain further. It's more like you image from lots of different viewpoints, then calculate a slice, then join the slices to form a volume. It's better explained visually (at least to me) :P
- Aurornis 1y agoA high res 2D X-ray is preferable for a PCB, which is nearly a 2D rectangle itself.
- tecleandor 1y agoHa! I laughed at the "my left ear enjoyed it" comment. Note that the audio mix for the microphone fell in the left channel only. Apart from that, interesting images!
- jstrieb 1y agoI'll let the right people know, thanks to you and the YouTube commenter! What a funny, positive way to point out our error.
- comice 1y agoThe right and left people should probably work together in future ;)
- l8rlump 1y agoMight be a lesson for us all.
- tecleandor 1y agoI guess that it was edited with the laptop speakers, instead of headphones, and that's why it wasn't noticed. No worries, it can happen!
- amelius 1y ago> At my work, we have an X-ray machine for PCB reverse engineering. Curious, does this machine get past the top copper layer?
- jstrieb 1y agoHere is the other video we've released so far if anyone is curious: https://youtu.be/z09X_ZnAcLs https://youtu.be/z09X_ZnAcLs Happy to take recommendations for other stuff to drop in there and film! Also if this sounds cool to you, we're hiring US citizens. https://redballoonsecurity.com/company/careers/ https://redballoonsecurity.com/company/careers/
