This is really cool and kinda makes me want to put various things I have under such scanner.

However several statements like

provide optimal power efficiently

along with other assumptions made this a bit awkward to read. What does it mean to provide 'optimal' power except making it sound like a commercial? Maybe it's just me, after all I was expecting a very technical article (as have been on HN previously, also from CT scans IIRC).

These critiques come up in every thread about a Lumafield post. But these articles are really sales pitches for the CT scanner and not a rigorous analysis of the item they put in it.

There has been an influx of social media “ads” for these CT scanners - probably the worst (and obviously paid) example is Adam Savage’s YouTube channel where they just throw random things into a CT scanner under the guise of “how does this thing we’re scanning function from the inside out” - but it just ends up being an advertisement for “check out the features of the scanner and the settings you can change” with literally no investigation into the object being scanned

I think they mean the space efficiency is optimal, since the battery is using all of the space available (as opposed to the counterfeit AirPod batteries which are a rectangular battery that leaves unused space in the round housing).
