  • EEVblog #105 – Electronics Thermal Heatsink Design Tutorial

    Posted on August 15th, 2010 EEVblog 17 comments

    A follow on from some of the recent blogs that have involved basic thermal heatsink calculation. This time around Dave takes you though the basic theory of thermal design and how heatsink calculations work. Then there are some real world temperature measurements to see how close to the theory we get.

    How do you read a heatsink thermal response graph? What is emissivity? It’s all here in thermal design 101.

  • EEVblog #103 – World’s Largest Depth of Field Laser Hologram

    Posted on August 7th, 2010 EEVblog 11 comments

    Dave & Phil check out the world’s largest depth of field laser hologram display at Macquarie University.
    It was part of the Paula Dawson exhibition. The bar display is titled “To Absent Friends”
    This hologram was created in 1988 and is still the worlds largest to this day. They don’t make holographic plates this big any more!
    The resolution on this entire room display is incredible and was hard to catch on camera in the low light, but you can read the labels on the bottles as if they are right in front of you, and the light reflections in the crystal vases and other objects was simply amazing.
    See a behind the scenes video of how it was created here:
