Clean air, protection from the rain and other nasty elements, and high visibility lighting? Who knew safety could be this sexy!!
Edit: where’s the mech, I want the mech
Maybe I should have said “Soon to be stolen combat mech”. Now take this crowbar and stop asking questions, the guards will hear you…
A cracking effect, props to the lighting engineer!
Thank you! It’s a seriously weird material to work with but when it works it gives some amazing results.
(edit: Hmm, I’ve apparently lost the final version of that photo, one moment…)
That was weird, anyways!
love it!

Hot. Love the EL light, not the best for staying low profile though 😉
I hope you make a little series out of these or something, thanks for the share.
It’s actually side-firing PMMA, not EL wire! SUPER fun material, not least because it just takes a 12v battery instead of the HV stuff you need for EL wire (also it doesnt burn out or stress fracture!)
There’s some other photos on my profile of me messing around with it, hoping to do more (as soon as I can afford some more colors of light source, too…)
Ah, very cool. TIL.
Funny, I use PMMA in a lot of my high voltage work, but the only time I use it unsheathed is for HV arc detection, and even that is niche.
And then here you go, finding it for sale unsheathed as a feature lol. Keep up the cool work!
How do you use PMMA for arc detection? That sounds neat as heck. Love high voltage work aesthetically, but I can barely work up the nerve to install a new breaker in my house…
A slightly more advanced version of this white paper: https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/AV02-4503EN
I added a running average system to account for the day to day changes in ambient light, which adjusts the trigger threshold automatically. Anything bright and fast still triggers the system but without false positives.
You gotta get your confidence up if we’re stealing this mech…
Is this just for arc flashes in your mech or will it detect partial discharges as well?
Maybe you’ll get lucky with partials lol… otherwise the equipment gets a lot crazier and more expensive as we both know
So, dating you would mean potential trouble? Count me in. 😜
3000 KG? Is it an elemental?
What?
Please don’t cum on the control panel
