The defect that broke our $500 Dyson CameraJet toothbrush was there before we ever turned it on. Swipe to see the 0.4 mm tear in the jet tube that caused water to fill the interior all the way down to the battery. 🪥

Last year, we CT scanned the Haribo 20,000 mAh power bank and found significant battery defects. Now its manufacturer, DC Hong Kong Global, is bringing it back after revamping their supply chain and adding inspection steps. Head to the link in bio for the full story.

Our $500 Dyson CameraJet toothbrush died four minutes into its first use, just like other owners have been reporting. We CT scanned it and found a 0.4 mm tear in the jet tube that carries water or mouthwash up to the brush head, letting water flood the housing around the electronics. Would you pay $500 for a toothbrush? 🪥

Did stick drift ruin a PlayStation 2 game for you back in the day? Swipe through an original PS2 controller to see how it happened: each stick rides on two potentiometers, where a four-fingered metal wiper slides across a carbon track that wears out over time. Still have yours? 🎮

Do you know what’s inside a Flock camera you’ve likely passed by before? We CT scanned one to take a look. Swipe through to see what captures a car’s license plate and “fingerprints” like make, model, color, roof racks, and bumper stickers. 👁️

You’ve probably driven past a Flock camera without knowing what it is. It’s an automated license plate reader. We CT scanned one to see what’s inside. As cars pass, it photographs each one, reads the plate, logs where and when it saw the vehicle, and records “fingerprints” like make, model, color, and details like roof racks or bumper stickers, building a searchable record of who drove by. It runs on solar power and a battery pack so it can be installed anywhere. Have you seen these before?

This Jeffrey pine cone looks like a welcoming beginning to the fall season, but it had a bit of a surprise for us inside. We CT scanned it and found coneworms, the larvae of a moth in the Dioryctria genus that shelter inside and eat the seeds. The open cone had 3 of them. A fresher, closed one had 22. 😳

Have you heard about these?

One of our favorite car part CT scans. 🤩

Fuel injectors are precision nozzles that feed your engine with (you guessed it) fuel. By spraying fuel in a fine, controlled mist, they create a mix with air for combustion. This refined balance is what makes modern engines more efficient and reduce emissions.
