  102. <p>00:00 &#8211; Composite vs Compound Amplifiers<br />
  103. 02:53 &#8211; How a Composite Amplifier works<br />
  104. 05:09 &#8211; Why not just cascade them?<br />
  105. 07:23 &#8211; This doesn&#8217;t just apply to opamps<br />
  106. 08:24 &#8211; An example with gain, and another way to look at it<br />
  107. 09:37 &#8211; Composite gain vs stage gain<br />
  108. 11:19 &#8211; What&#8217;s the catch? + rule of thumb for stability<br />
  109. 12:42 &#8211; Another example: Composite precision high bandwidth amplifier<br />
  110. 14:50 &#8211; Breadboard demonstration of Composite vs Compound amplfiers<br />
  111. 19:09 &#8211; Changing to Composite configuration and Magic Happens<br />
  112. 20:07 &#8211; More magic as it compensates for the buffer drop too</p>

  375. 02:49 &#8211; Comically long screwdriver time<br />
  376. 04:09 &#8211; Vacuum Fluorescent display for all you VFD fanboys<br />
  377. 05:10 &#8211; Annoying construction<br />
  378. 06:14 &#8211; Logic level problem? Doesn&#8217;t seem to be the PSU.<br />

  381. 12:11 &#8211; Did the cleaning work?<br />
  382. 13:28 &#8211; Hang on, I think I see something&#8230;<br />
  383. 14:36 &#8211; More corrosion<br />
  384. 15:21 &#8211; Back to measuring voltages on the VFD<br />

  390. 23:08 &#8211; Sanity check<br />
  391. 24:32 &#8211; What&#8217;s in the can?<br />
  392. 28:16 &#8211; Schematic time. Sony service manuals are something else<br />
  393. 33:22 &#8211; Don&#8217;t come-a-gutsa on dual diode pinouts<br />
  394. 35:16 &#8211; Let&#8217;s power it up on the bench<br />
  395. 37:19 &#8211; There&#8217;s something very strange about this&#8230;<br />

  1346. They claim 3 times the power output of regular solar panels by using mirrors to reflect the light back on the solar cells (TIPA: Total Internal Photonic Absorption). They claim 80% of the light that hits a solar panel is reflected!</p>
  1347. <p>And when challeged by a solar cell researcher from the University of Freiburg on the claims of 80% reflectance and why they don&#8217;t independently test, there is a hirarious word salad response!<br />
