Magnets, China & IEEE - Xenomorphic Xerox Xebec

The Amp Hour · 25 Oct 2011 · 1h 06m · Episode 66

What this episode covers

Hosts Chris Gammell, Dave Jones, and guest Jeff Kaiser discuss a range of hardware topics, including Kaiser's new laser cutter at the Austin Hackerspace for making acrylic cases for his Geiger counter kits. They critique the IEEE's restrictive copyright policies regarding public domain papers and analyze China's recent temporary halt on rare earth magnet exports, highlighting the supply chain risks. The episode concludes with a humorous review of the 'Fostak Maximus,' a pseudoscientific energy-harmonizing device.

    The geopolitics of rare earth elements

    Ahmad Ghahreman, co-founder and CEO of Cyclic Materials, explains the geopolitical dominance of China in the rare earth element (REE) supply chain and the recent escalation of export controls. He details how China controls 90% of processing and 93% of magnet manufacturing, with a near-monopoly on heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium which are critical for high-temperature EV motors. Ghahreman discusses the timeline of Chinese restrictions, from banning technology exports in 2023 to recent controls on oxides, metals, and magnets, and argues that recycling end-of-life products offers a viable path to an ex-China supply chain.

    EMS & The Economist: Geopolitical Factors Shaping the Manufacturing Sector

    IPC Chief Economist Shawn DuBravac joins host Philip Stoten to analyze North American manufacturing data, highlighting weak book-to-bill ratios for PCB and EMS sectors. They discuss how Federal Reserve interest rate cuts may spur capital investment, while examining delays at major semiconductor facilities like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung. The conversation covers the geopolitical complexities of rare earth materials, China's EV dominance via BYD, and the impact of US election policies on supply chain resilience.

    Ep 182: Sparkpunk Photography, Anti-Xiomi Air Filters, and Keyfob Foibles

    Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss the rapid sell-out of Supercon tickets, the John Deere tractor hack at DEFCON, and a critical 'rollback' vulnerability in car key fobs that allows permanent unauthorized access. They also cover the debate over 3D CAD file formats (STEP vs. STL), a DIY magnetron sputtering rig for making daguerreotypes, and software for home PCB production using SLA printers. The episode concludes with a look at a Game Boy flashcart, Starlink ground station hacking, and a deep dive into obsolete Scenix microcontrollers by Al Williams.

    Ep 313: Capacitor Plague, Wireless Power, and Tiny Everything

    Hosts Elliot Williams and Jenny List recap Hackaday Europe, detailing the logistical chaos of the SAO badge production, including customs delays and the heroic work of Voyer Antonich in programming PIC microcontrollers. They discuss a retrospective on the early 2000s capacitor plague, analyzing Asianometry’s theory that thermal design failures, rather than industrial espionage, caused the systemic component failures. The episode highlights several hardware hacks, including a thermal microscope using germanium lenses, inefficient but large-scale wireless power transfer experiments, and the use of PCB spring connectors in passive resistance boxes. Finally, they examine the trend of extreme miniaturization, featuring Mike Roller’s tiny PCB blinky and Texas Instruments’ new ultra-small microcontroller, while noting the potential for extracting rare earth elements from coal fly ash.

    Ep 348: 50 Grams of PLA Hold a Ton, Phreaknic Badge is Off The Shelf, and Hackers Need Repair Manuals

    Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss a week of hardware hacks, starting with the data retention risks of unpowered SSDs and a 3D printed PLA hook designed by Tom Stanton that successfully held over a metric ton. They cover the return of the Pebble smartwatch with 100% open-source software, a Magnus Effect drone by Starzister, and Circuit Snips, an online KiCad schematic repository by Mike Isles. The episode also highlights a Phreaknic conference badge made from e-waste electronic shelf labels by Tyler Crumpton, filling 3D prints with spray foam, and a call for hacker-friendly repair manuals.
