    I think it's about time we talked about James Webb's incredible sound-cooled camera. In this video, I take a deep dive into the fascinating world of the James Webb telescope and its mid-infrared camera, MIRI. Learn how the camera captures infrared light, how James Webb's camera is cooled with sound, and why James Webb needs to be so cold.

      Hubble is still operating after thirty years, so James Webb should last around 30 to 40 years. but, the more complex something is the more things could go wrong. shortening it's life. space debris is also a problem, but james webb wouldn't have to worry about man mande objects, it is more likley that a small asteroid. thankyou for reading this.

      From the first NASA theme LEGO set that I got was the LEGO IDEAS Saturn V Rocket with its exact total(plus the few space LEGO pieces that always comes in any LEGO Set we buy). My next set was the LEGO Creators Experts set of GRUMMAN's LM-13 NASA's Apollo XI's Lunar Excursion Module "Eagle". Then the third set was the LEGO IDEAS #029 International Space Station which I can say from my personal view was an enjoyable build and I'm amazed that LEGO was able to faithfully recreate the ISS at the scale it did with the LEGO pieces that they used for it. And my final NASA theme LEGO set was the LEGO ICONS NASA STS-31 Space Shuttle Discovery and Hubble Telescope.
      And I hope that in the next wave of NASA themed LEGO sets is the James Webbs Telescope. or one of their more famous Programs Voyager I and Voyager II Deep Space Probes.

    • @kumasenlac5504
      @kumasenlac5504 11 місяців тому +3

      Because what the animation shows is not the imager but the medium-resolution spectrograph section.
      0:11 The light is initially sub-divided (roughly) by three sets of filters which reflect some wavelengths but transmit others.
      0:14 shows the four light paths (each of which deals with a different range of wavelengths) striking the gratings. The gratings have very fine grooves which spread the light into a spectrum - in much the same way that the tiny dimples on a CD do.
      0:16 Each detector records the spectra from two channels.
      The whole spectrum is recorded in three observations (because the filters are very specific) with enough overlap to line up the individual spectra accurately.

    Everytime I watch a video like these I get amazed by the sheer amount of engineering and thought put into certain machines, it really shows that we've gone very far in our 'tech tree'. The JWST really is one of the most awesome things we have done as a species and I hope it'll stay functional and operational for a long time, I personally believe it could get to 20-30 years at the most, considering there's a lot of debris in space and this is a rather fragile machine in comparison to all of the hazards that could damage it to a point of no return.

NASA originally predicted the JWST to only last about 10 years but with how smoothly the positioning went when reaching the Lagrang point, they saved some fuel. I think that this little extra fuel will help push the telescope to around 15-18 years hopefully!

The James Webb is definitely a big step for space exploration and i really look forward to what it brings us. If used and monitored well, and if it can be theoretically refuelled, it will last more than 35-40 years.

      Different heat pump designs all have trade offs. While pulse-tube cryocoolers can achieve extreme reductions in temperature, they are not very energy efficient and you wouldn't choose them to do something like maintain the inside of a fridge 20-25 C below ambient.

I think the telescope will last atleast another 5 years for sure, and if its still holding up till then I can see it pushing for as long as 15 years before the batteries give in and won’t be able to provide enough power for major operations. Hopefully longer tho!!

    What you describe there is not a pulse tube cooler, but rather a thermoacoustic cryocooler. A pulse tube cryocooler is more similar to a stirling cycle cryocooler but replacing the displacer piston with a empty tube with a capillary tube or an orifice valve at one end leading to a buffer volume, this capillary tube is calibrated in diameter and lenght/valve is set to create a 90deg phase shift between the wave in this tube and the power piston, just like in a stirling cycle.

    It is so fascinating and so exact. It's almost mind-boggling how humans have created such technology and yet explain it so simply.

I could see James Webb being fully operational for the next 30-40 years as our technology is always improving and will simply outperform Webb in the future!

    I think there are two misconceptions in the video at around 7:50 .
    The Joule Thompson effect doesn't work because of the change in diameter in the tubing, it does because of the drop in pressure (dT/dp) due to the throttle.
    When blowing air through the mouth to cool down food it isn't the JT effect in action. the airstream is just much faster compared to blowing through a wide open mouth (eg. when warming up your cold hands with your breath). The airstream picks up more of the surrounding air reducing it's temperature down from body temperature to closer to roomtemperature.
    Otherwise the video is very well made and enjoyable as well as informative.

    Great video! Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge the explanation of the Joule Thompson effect isn’t quite accurate in the final cooling stage, though I could be wrong. Blowing air through your mouth is not related to the Joule Thompson effect as it only applies to real gases at extremely low temperatures (such as this case) or very high pressures. Additionally, it’s not due to the rapid lowering of pressure that it cools but rather that the rate of which the pressure decreases is lower than that of which it’s volume increases. In the Joule Thompson equation H = U + PV, the enthalpy is constant, thus the total internal energy (hence temperature) would only decrease if PV increased, and the only way for PV to increase given a reducing pressure is for the volume to increase at a higher rate (which occurs as a result of its intermolecular forces).
