What's in the box?
Why do you hate humanity?
He made me do it
Hey guys on last episode Make it Real we made the world's most powerful leaf blower
and on this episode we're tackling the myth of Pandora's box
basically if you open this the universe ends
now you may be asking yourself those are two
completely different far-out there ideas, why do we even do what we do and how do
we even come up with these ideas? Well to be honest ideas are the easiest part of
our job, in fact we have a huge list of both ongoing projects and ideas for
upcoming projects. The issue is paying for the project, planning the project,
filming the project, editing the video, reviewing the video, and getting a
sponsor to pay for the project
This video sponsored by World of Warships
play today with my link below
Typically the video is actually the hardest part
sometimes I just want to work on a project and not worry about setting up
cameras and thinking about how is it gonna look on video
as you know we've been expanding the team here
and now we have more engineers working on cool stuff every day
The hope is maybe we'll actually be able to have more than one video per week
Anyway back to this project in this video, Pandora's box
This is an idea Ian and I had years ago. What if we made a box that scares the
ever-loving **** out of you if you open it? Well this term we actually hired a
University of Waterloo engineering co-op student and her name is Elena and this
was her first project she worked on with us. We gave her the idea and she took it
from there. Took about a month to make and well you'll see
How do you ask for money for products supplies?
Is it accidentally turning on?
What'd you think when you were asked to make Pandora's box?
I thought it was stupid
I understand you plan on mass-producing these and installing them at bus stops,
libraries, airports. and retirement homes. How do you plan on turning a profit from
this venture
I don't
Okay so Elena got it working and now
this is actually my first time testing it I know what's gonna happen but there's a
time delay so I don't know when it's actually gonna fire the LEDs
Going to commercials we'll be back after the intermission
Speaking of paying for this project
a huge thank you goes out the World Warships for making this project possible
World of Warships is a free-to-play online game that takes wit
and expert strategy to dominate the seven seas. It's the perfect balance
between both action and strategy which gives it so much more depth than your
standard mindless shoot-'em-up games. You get to command a massive naval fleet
complete with some of history's most iconic war vessels. With changing weather
and over 30 million players worldwide no two missions will ever be alike
What I like most about the game is their attention to detail, the vessels are
super accurate because they actually base the game models off real-life 3D
scans of the ships and with over 200 ships available from 11 different nations
there's so many different ways to play. Updates are constant which
ensures new experiences new missions game updates and special events

250 Doubloons, 1 million credits the HMS Cambeltown, one port slot and three
days premium time. Plus by downloading it you help ensure our channel can keep
making awesome way out there ideas just like Pandora's box
This thing's ***** awesome
Ian!
Just open the box
No!
Open the box
yeah we should put like money here or something
yeah we're gonna take it out
Put a sign, do not open Pandora's box
why did you make Pandora's box and why do you hate humanity?
I was told to do it, They pay me for this! They pay me for this!
This box showed up in the workshop, you should probably open it
Ok I'll try
So I understand your co-op term is almost over, what do you plan on stealing from the Hacksmith?
One thing at a time they will never know
I'll steal it! No one will ever know!
I already attached the side button here it sort of controls how much time it
takes to react when you open the box, I also added some instructions here
You know, people have to follow the instructions right?
When we got this big really big big dangerous battery
It's not a big boy battery
So we're going to be installing this battery
management system in, it's gonna plug in directly to the battery and then it's
gonna flip a relay depending on if the voltage gets too low or if the cells
become imbalanced it'll turn it off, to prevent it from blowing up
Here's the switch, as soon as it gets released then everything can turn on
Here's the master control board, it has an arduino nano and then a mosfet and that will
control the horn, so the arduino also has some outputs to control the relays for
the lighter rays so this board is the master board and it controls when
everything turns on. Here we have the big DC voltage converter, it goes from 36
volts DC to 12 volts DC and that to a maximum of 30 amps we need this to power
the horn and this relay board, cause now that we've switched to 1 big 36 volt
battery, or technically a 42 volt battery, we need that to provide the
correct power for the master control board and then the horn
we actually have a more detailed electronics diagram which you can check
out using the link in the description below to visit our project on maker.io
follow us on social media
Wait that's not us!
this is the horn, want to hear it?
So now this one goes right here
You look lovely in pink
That sounds so right
No you're done!
What?
You're done!
Zip it!
Alright zip it
Zip
When a problem comes along you must zip it
Zip it or I'll zip it for you
Zip it good!
What?
Is the Hacksmith truly insane?
Uh can I tell this I sort of signed an NDA
What do we have here?
I have something to show you. it's the passing of the torch
The giant do not open box
You've got to open it all the way
Nick put on the glasses
Is it going to shock me?
I think the worst part is that
You know it's coming and it's dark here so your pupils are dilated
You gotta open it and see what's inside you know
I don't think it's the sound it's the brightness
How many lumens?
Hypothetically it's half a million but I know it's not
Is each one like 7
9000
9000!
Stop! Stop it!
Do it!
That is loud
Just take a look inside the box
I knew it!
so we're here at James Hobson's the Hacksmith's party and he's got a special
surprise for us Pandora's box, it says do not open I'm gonna open it
Oh my god! That is a lot of light
You just looked into the sun
My eyes really hurt
You're responsible for this box Pandora's Box
Yes
Why do you hate humanity?
He made me do it!
What's in the box?
Alright we're here at Ctrl V and we've brought Pandora's box
Let's see if we can get some cool reactions
That's so bright
Oh my god I'm not supposed to open it
What are you doing
There was $5 in there
Do not open, what do we do?
Did you see the $5 in there
There's $5
The great part was the kids started lying to the other kids and be like
there's free candy in that box you should go open it
alright that's got to be one of our most fun projects yet for audience
interaction, huge thank you goes out to Elena for making it happen
who unfortunately is back at school now but we've got one more project she worked on
coming up very soon and don't forget to try World of Warships today using my link below
Use the code ACTIONSTATIONS2019 to receive a special bonus starter pack
with tons of sweet upgrades. Playing our sponsors game ensures we can keep making
awesome projects. Thanks for watching
What's in the box?
It melted!
So we put $5 in to entice people to open the box and because Canada money is made of plastic
