Project Enclosure Torture Tests

Technology

PopSci blogger Vin Marshall puts pelican cases, plastic project enclosures, and junction boxes to a series of torture tests.

My projects tend to live rough lives. To make it easier to safely house their delicate parts in the future, I devised a torture test to determine which project enclosures best stand up to extreme conditions—and to my abuse.

I built a simple circuit and placed it inside a plastic project enclosure, a PVC electrical junction box, and a Pelican case. Then I subjected all three to torture by water, impact and fire.

    Is the circuit they built an everything’s ok alarm?
