Introducing My New Lab Assistant

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to introduce my new lab assistant Charles. I have noticed how much smarter and more productive the rest of you guys are that have Minions. Since I want to be smarter and more productive too I applied for a Minion too but Charles was the only one to show up for the interview. A correct answer goes to the first person to tell me what Charles has in his left hand.

    Ahh CB is the best! I think it's a transistor! There is a new animation coming out next year, although I can't imagine it will be anywhere near as good as the original animations and comic strips! I must…

    I would therefore suggest 3 resistors in the left hand and a very small hand grenade in the right to throw at  stubborn debuging problems.

     

    Have a stubborn PCB fault throw the grenade no PCB ...No Problem ...sorted!!

    Hi John,  OK the picture wasn't the best but "A Grenade?", We all know that Charles is a pacifist. image  I will  give you a bigger picture and some hints so as not to drag this out longer than it deserves.

     

    It isn't Electronic.

    It costs as much as my inexpensive Rigol Oscilloscope

    Chances are you have been within one centimeter of one several times in your life.

    A precision measuring head or  a drill motor?

    Good Job and close enough for me. It is a precision turbine from a dental drill. When installed and operational it will rotate in excess of 200,000 RPM and make that scary whine we associate with discomfort in the dental chair.

    I originally thought it was the commutator from a motor, but then when I saw the resistors thought it was too small.

    I couldn't blow up the avatar picture any bigger.

     

    Well done John and John.
