As a software developer and IT technician, I’m less interested in the "magic" of radio signals and more focused on bridging the gap between software and hardware.

I acquire surplus gear and customer returns to document the process of restoring it to service or repurposing it for modern digital communication needs.

Every bit goes toward hardware for the lab. Thanks for being part of the community! 🛠️ I very often use 12V cigarette lighter socket in car for charging phone / laptop but because of being non smoker person, i never had car cigarette lighter in my hands.
To me looks like bimetalic strip acting as restive load, after applying current and heating up it pop out breaking circuit.
