Analog Hygrometers - how?

It's a simple one this time. Simple! Simple!

So simple, even, that this descriptions is mostly blank. But here's the usual links 'n stuff.

I ran some basic tests on the hygrometers to see if the linear scaling would be a problem. A link at the end takes you to a Twitter thread with pictures. The result was... mixed. It seems clear that the high end humidities are never attainable on the Taylor model nor the clock. They don't seem capable of reading past 80%. However, on the low end they were in better agreement with the other models.
It may be that the linear-scale hygrometers are built so that they behave more linearly but I'm personally doubtful of that. I would personally avoid dial-hygrometers with linear scales.

"Aaand then it snowballs in to a 5 part series..."
*CED playlist card pops up*

I think this is the only channel on YouTube that uses that corner card as a comedic punchline.

The power of buying two will never get old.

"If we take this thing apart through the magic of buying two of them" makes me laugh every time

[DerTou]

The panning closeup shot at 0:33 could straight up be out of an "how it's made" episode.

"Through the magic of buying two of them" will never get old for me, even if you try to just casually sneak it by without emphasis this time.

“This website I found...”
and it’s Wikipedia .

Thanks for the tremendous laugh, that was neat!

No music or credits, but he still graced us with a blooper. Alec, we don't deserve you!

[LeonardoNextgen]

That rant about googling fahrenheit is the maddest I've ever seen you lol

[quantumhorizon]

The level of snarky humor on this channel is truly masterful.

Whenever someone says "bimetallic", I never know whether they mean "twice a metal" or "once every other metal".

"So, if we take this thing apart through the magic of buying two of them"
Alec!!! LOL

I never realized what the smooth jazz meant to me...

until it wasn't there v_v

[BrianHaddad]

"But this one is actually a bimetallic strip tease." I had to pause the video and question my life choices.

The one case in which a YouTuber went *below* 10 minutes on purpose. What a time to be alive.

The sax music is still playing in my head as i'm typing this comment.

[christopherswanson]

I just wanna say that the shot at 0:33 (a common framing on this channel), reminds me soooo much of “how it’s made” and i love it

[jull]

what the heck no music? I never thought I'd be fully Stockholm'd by that sweet sweet sax, but here we are.

[felixkuhl]

only 9 minutes?
I was hoping for an epic 26 minute hygrometer epos.
I extra put on my brown corduroy pants

"I start writing the script at the beginning -- it seems to make sense to do it that way"

Love ya Alec.
