It never ceases to amaze me what comes through the workshop door. This
week's bizarre item - taken in for me to look at by a music shop !! - was a strange sort of 'Dalek' thingy on four castors. About three and a half feet tall, with a large control panel on top, and lots of intimidating attachments sprouting from a bunch of connectors at the back. Turned out to be a home 'Ultrasonic Liposuction Machine' ... It's unbelievable what people will shell out their hard-earned on. Anyways, this thing comes from China, and it had lasted for all of 5 minutes before a burning smell, and cessation of all functionality. The proud owners had got back onto the company who made it, who helpfully suggested that they return it for repair / replacement. Shipping ? 160 quid ! So they decided to ignore the warranty and let me have a look. In the meantime, the manufacturers sent the guy a replacement main board. Anyways, long story short, there was a bloody great transistor in the middle of the board that was short. I'm not sure if it is for the 500kHz RF output, or the 40kHz Ultrasonic output, but whichever, the fact of it being short, had ****ted the primary of the mains transformer, before the now shorted turns, had blown the mains fuse. The three secondary windings had no fusing of their own. The final decision was to replace the three winding tranny, with three individual trannies sourced in the UK, and to fit secondary fuses. This all done, with the replacement board in, it worked again. So what about the "fun" bit ? Well, I'm sure that we've all seen the 'translated direct from the Japanese' user manuals of thirty years ago, and had a good laugh. Seems now that the art of producing funny manuals, has passed to the Chinese. I've seen some pretty good ones over the last few years, but I reckon that the one for this piece of equipment, has to be the best yet. Here's a couple of examples * Ultrasonic Liposuction Equipment, through high energy deep-level transport, takes 1100nm-1500nm high ultrasonic head to shoot out violent energy, produces itch cavitation in cellulite cells, forms * countless tiny vacuum oxygen bubbles, by means of the pressure to make FAT cells membrane, act on the cellulite, breaks them, then exhaust out of the body by lymphatic system. and * It takes the most advanced RF technique and energy, directly penetrate into deep-seated cellulite. With targeted oriented RF output, it makes the fatty cells in quick active state, produces heat friction, * higher the partial temperature. Through the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation and lymph, exhaust the redundant fatness and toxins out of the body, so get the effect of cellulite dissolving. The whole thing can be seen at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-40KHZ-...item19ca636e3c After it was repaired, I gave it a try, but I'm not sure if I exhausted any fat via my liver sausage ... :-) Arfa |

Through the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation and lymph, exhaust the redundant fatness and toxins out of the body, so get the effect of cellulite dissolving. How crude. The high fashion technique is to do the same thing with a laser. http://www.myzerona.com I know people that have had this treatment and there is a visible loss of fat from the process. The problem with "breaking down fat" or dieting is that they just empty the fat cells from their contents. The cells still remain, and tend to rapidly fill with fat again. What's needed is a way to destroy the fat cells and their contents. The problem is that its a rather bloody procedure. The ultrasonic method make a big mess, bursting both fat cells and capillaries. The laser is somewhat more precise. The mess is washed away by the blood stream, not the lymphatic system, which is really slow. It only works on fat that's near the skin (subcutaneous) and doesn't do anything for fat buried under the muscles (visceral). It's also sufficiently messy that the involvement of a doctor is usually a good idea. Anyway, it's not total quackery, but it's close. Also, a friends son recently returned from Hong Kong, where he worked at translating technical documents and manuals from Chinese into English. The big surprise was that many companies didn't care if their manuals made any sense in English. They've found that the products sell on the basis of price, and such luxuries as quality, spare parts, documentation, and service have little effect on sales. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS |

door. This week's bizarre item -- taken in for me to look at by a music shop !! -- was a strange sort of 'Dalek' thingy on four castors. Did you report the use of beavers as motive devices to the Humane Society? Hope they didn't gnaw on your furniture. (The beavers, not the Humane Society.) |

As I recall they got fond out by the young leaving in the middle of the night, triggering home security systems. All of which sounds more effective and plausible than this machine.

Yeah, in the case of this machine, especially, details of how it "works" might be a BIG turn-off to potential consumers, as well as causing medical regulatory agencies to want to confiscate the horror right at the port of entry.

A "home" liposuction machine????Are they serious? How about a DIY brain surgery kit? It could come with an electric drill and a mirror. You can save some beer money and use your own drill. This must be another way the Chinese are identifying and weeding out the morons in our society stupid enough to buy one of these things. I can do the same thing, (melt some fat) with a waveguide at 23GHZ. Lenny |

Here's a couple of examples * Ultrasonic Liposuction Equipment, through high energy deep-level transport, takes 1100nm-1500nm high ultrasonic head to shoot out violent energy, produces itch cavitation in cellulite cells, forms * countless tiny vacuum oxygen bubbles, by means of the pressure to make FAT cells membrane, act on the cellulite, breaks them, then exhaust out of the body by lymphatic system. and * It takes the most advanced RF technique and energy, directly penetrate into deep-seated cellulite. With targeted oriented RF output, it makes the fatty cells in quick active state, produces heat friction, * higher the partial temperature. Through the sweat gland, liver sausage circulation and lymph, exhaust the redundant fatness and toxins out of the body, so get the effect of cellulite dissolving. The whole thing can be seen at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-40KHZ-...ION-CAVITATION... After it was repaired, I gave it a try, but I'm not sure if I exhausted any fat via my liver sausage ... :-) Arfa I wonder if that machine is what this guy used: http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...at-down-toilet "A San Francisco man who allegedly posed as a doctor and performed liposuction on an unsuspecting woman then flushed the fat down her toilet was arrested Thursday and is facing several felony charges, prosecutors said." But seriously, I'd be worried that repairing medical equipment would expose you to some sort of liability, especially if a patient were to be electrocuted. I think that the term "Liposuction" is being used very loosely here. It is actually nothing of the sort. A 'proper' liposuction machine is a tool for invasive fat removal, and should only be operated by a qualified medical person. This thing just looks the ********, and works using some low power ultrasonics and RF. Certainly nothing to worry about. It's just quackery really. The theory - and I understand that it is based in a degree of fact - is that it ruptures the walls of the fat cells, allowing their contents to then be washed out into the bloodstream, and then removed naturally by the action s of the liver and so on. As to electrocuting anyone, that is highly unlikely. It all operates from transformer isolated low voltage supplies. There are actually ****loads of these machines on FleaBay, from desktops to Daleks like this one, which actually carries a CE mark, although whether that is real or just for show, I've no idea. Anyway. take it light, everyone. I posted for the amusement of the user guide really. I just threw in the repair angle for all of the trade bods on here, as I knew they would feel my pain .... :-) Have a good 'un everyone, and I'll catch up over the break or in the new year Happy Christmas all - or Happy Holidays for the PC brigade ! ( That's political correctness of course ...) Arfa |

This week's bizarre item - taken in for me to look at by a music shop !! - was a strange sort of 'Dalek' thingy on four castors. About three and a half feet tall, with a large control panel on top, and lots of intimidating attachments sprouting from a bunch of connectors at the back. Turned out to be a home 'Ultrasonic Liposuction Machine' ... It's unbelievable what people will shell out their hard-earned on. Anyways, this thing comes from China, and it had lasted for all of 5 minutes before a burning smell, and cessation of all functionality. The proud owners had got back onto the company who made it, who helpfully suggested that they return it for repair / replacement. Shipping ? 160 quid ! So they decided to ignore the warranty and let me have a look. In the meantime, the manufacturers sent the guy a replacement main board. Anyways, long story short, there was a bloody great transistor in the middle of the board that was short. I'm not sure if it is for the 500kHz RF output, or the 40kHz Ultrasonic output, but whichever, the fact of it being short, had ****ted the primary of the mains transformer, before the now shorted turns, had blown the mains fuse. The three secondary windings had no fusing of their own. The final decision was to replace the three winding tranny, with three individual trannies sourced in the UK, and to fit secondary fuses. This all done, with the replacement board in, it worked again. So what about the "fun" bit ? Well, I'm sure that we've all seen the 'translated direct from the Japanese' user manuals of thirty years ago, and had a good laugh.

A "home" liposuction machine????Are they serious? How about a DIY brain surgery kit? It could come with an electric drill and a mirror. You can save some beer money and use your own drill. This must be another way the Chinese are identifying and weeding out the morons in our society stupid enough to buy one of these things. I can do the same thing, (melt some fat) with a waveguide at 23GHZ.

The raw UV emitted by crude lamps didn't cure cancer, migraines or anything else. If anything, they likely caused skin cancer. There are people who collect quack equipment for a hobby. One is on the antique radio newsgroup. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |

But I digress...Happy new year! -B Weeeellll ... I do read the MoS, but not the Daily one. It did used to have some fairly good political comment from the likes of William Rees-Mogg, but for some unknown reason, they have recently dropped his column, which I think is a sad loss to the overall content balance of the paper. It seems to be dumbing down now almost by the week, and I think that is in no small part due to them wishing to accommodate all of the News of the World readers that they've picked up from that paper's demise. The letters page is now a travesty compared to what it was, and I can't understand why they even keep taking copy from some of the contributors. There's a couple of them that write such drivel every week, it's hard to make sense of the content in its own right sometimes, and even more so when it doesn't even make grammatical sense. I think that soon, I will probably cease wasting my money to buy it, but the thing is, I do enjoy a relaxing read of a Sunday paper, and it's getting hard to find one that has a good balance of reliable reporting, whilst remaining entertaining to read. Not everyone who reads the Mail is a member of 'The Lunatic Right'. Yes, I will admit to having a right-wise leaning, but I wouldn't count myself as a mouth-frother, any more than left-leaners in this country, who actually have just as many mouth-frothers among their numbers ... :-) Arfa |
