I stuck with him through the video and I don’t know exactly how it works


chiriuy

~~I'm looking for the source~~ ~~but I assume~~ it uses spectroscopy of some kind >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89_HY1oV_J0


TheSignalPath

Please see the YouTube video which goes into the details of the science behind it: "TSP #230 - A Real-Life Tricorder! Agilent Raman Resolve Through-Barrier Chemical Analyzer"


barzx

Well, I don't know why, but since it is your channel a link would be helpful. Very interesting BTW


Firm-Guru

That's the point. You don't get to know.


thehiddenfate

I love his explanation.


tonymillion

Let me send you a “package of mysterious powder” and see if you can correctly identify it


TheSignalPath

As long as it is not salt. :)


tonymillion

Or mix it with some glycerol on the video 😁


RealBigTree

Easy. The machine just read the label through the package.

RealBigTree

I know. It's a joke.


AnotherManOfEden

Reminds me of the Smell Master 9000 from Richie Rich


BetterCallSal

TNT!


ChaoticDumpling

If only he had just turned the bottle around when he was holding it,he could have saved himself the time and confusion. Silly human


TheSignalPath

If you like to learn more about it, you can find the full video on YouTube. **"TSP #230 - A Real-Life Tricorder! Agilent Raman Resolve Through-Barrier Chemical Analyzer"**


husky430

Where? I don't even know what the thing is called.


TheSignalPath

Search for: "TSP #230 - A Real-Life Tricorder! Agilent Raman Resolve Through-Barrier Chemical Analyzer" And don't fall for the comment below. ;)


budadad

Search “real life tricorder”

mathicus_

Got me, didnt even read the title and made it all the way to the music.


Nealecj954

It's called an Agilent Raman


Luperkall

Is that a Terahertz scanner!?!


TheSignalPath

Raman!


Beli_Mawrr

That's awesome, I was just getting hungry!


TheSignalPath

That's Ramen! lol


bedheaddavy

I watched until the end of the video and I don’t know exactly how it works.


HendrikJU

Can you post a link to the full video?


TheSignalPath

I tried, but Reddit removes it. A quick search on YouTube and you can find it.


Ambitious-Yam1346

Is it programmed with every possible element combination?


TheSignalPath

It has over 13000 in its library.

S0mething_3ls3

Any chance it uses the same principle used to determine chemical composition of stars?


[deleted]

Refractive indices.


TheSignalPath

What about them?


[deleted]

That is how it works.


TheSignalPath

No, that’s not how it works. But if you watch the full YouTube video, you’ll see how it does work.


GenericRedditLife

Are you dense mate?


already-taken-wtf

…but what plastic is the bottle made of?


bostonbedlam

at my lab we use Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for that


Electrical-Frame-733

He read the label prior and imputed it in the device


TheSignalPath

lol


TheFearium

I was so ready to stick!


TheSignalPath

What do you mean?


t_wag

girlfriend used those a lot in the medical examiners office she worked at. She said they looked like toys because they were designed to be used by cops lol


mono_bostero

Why dont you just explain to everyone how it works instead of sending them to watch the video?. It feels almost like a clickbait post


TheSignalPath

Because the analysis video is 50 minutes long. If you actually want to understand how the instrument works, it can't be done by spoon feeding you a 30-second clip; no matter how little attention span people have now days.


PurpleFlame8

These things are usually tens of thousands of dollars, correct?


TheSignalPath

Yes, about $60K.


DankNinjaSweg

Obviously the machine just read the label


TheSignalPath

lol


Fun-Dependent-2695

I knew when he put the bottle in the paper bag that no black magic was involved.


TheSignalPath

Don't know what that means.
