Orbit Cleaner
Raul Herrera
ORBIT creator Adam Shatz has been in the fine jewelry business for over 20 years, and wanted to design something that was effective, yet quick and easy to use, affordable and safe for both the jewelry and the environment, without the use of harsh chemicals. The result is ORBIT a one-of-a-kind jewelry cleaning device.
At $19.99 the ORBIT ring cleaner is fairly inexpensive. It also has a really small footprint. After reading the instructions I had my doubts. Some water, dish soap and a little twisting would get my rings clean? We shall see!
I was impressed with the results after I rinsed it off. Due to the way my gems are set, I had to push the dirt out from beneath the main diamond, but the brushing action from the ORBIT ring cleaner made that a simple task as it loosened up the dirt and debris that was caught under it.

I got a porta cable orbital polisher a couple of years ago, never used it though, I had planned on using it to polish my car. I think it can do glass too cause it orbits and it has variable speed. does anyone know if this tool can be used on windows?
First, about the sander polisher you have. Porter Cable makes a great tool, hands down. I have used some of their power tools and love them all. That being said, an orbital sander, while amazing on wood, will chew up glass without grinding it. We have tried every single random orbital we can get our hands on, and without fail they all screw up the glass.
The only thing genius about the marketing of this kit is the big black box,
not because they say it is water resistent and you can drop it from a 2nd story bldg
no those are seriously the two dumbest reasons to make a selling point on the kit.
construction workers carry around far more expensive tools and bang them around way more then
a measely window washer ever will and they transport their tools around
in buckets and duffel bags.
Orbit Hose Cleaners can save as much as 50% of your time when switching between colors. Compressed air forces the Polyethylene foam hose cleaner through the hose in a matter of seconds. The textured exterior of the Orbit Hose Cleaner picks up stubborn-clinging powder from the hose walls leaving them smooth, clean and ready to go.
With square Scrub, changing from floor type to floor type is easy with our slotted removable weights. Slotted weights make it easier to add weights for stone polishing or hardwood floor sanding, then remove weights to clean other surfaces in the next room.
No that the operator handle no longer impacts the weight of the head on the floor, it can be adjusted with freedom. Older non-floating designs are very sensitive to the position and weight of the handle requiring the full upright position at all times.
The new trigger assembly is much more robust and sensitive at the same time. It is now locked in place with steel guide pins riding in nylon bushings for smooth action. The handle is now a fully solid welded steel assembly.
The heart of any orbital cleaning machine is the bearing assembly that drives the cleaning action. We have a patent-pending dual-seal system to protect our bearing assembly, which allows us to warranty it for 5 years.
The Titan Pad displays superior chemical resistance vs. competitive pad. It has substantial abrasive content for aggressive finish removal. Durable, with extended cut life comparative to the leading heavy duty strip pad, and more aggressive than our SHO pad.
The melamine Xtract pad works miraculously to clean floors without removing the floor finish. It is mainly used on shallow grouted floors, cleaning any heavily soiled floors, and is excellent for removing stubborn black marks. This product is used for cleaning and restoring a variety of flooring: VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile), Terrazzo, Ceramic, and Porcelain Tiles, Epoxy or Concrete Flooring.
The 3D Scrub Tile & Grout Pad is best on grouted tile floors, but can be used very effectively on terrazo, poured non-slip, concrete, LVT and other uneven floors.
Use wet on several surfaces.
The SHO Pad should be used only for the heaviest of chemical stripping jobs. Extremely abrasive and heavy with dense fibers. Best when dirt and buildup are severe.
Use wet on VCT and tile.
Sandscreens are ideal for finish removal or repair of wood floor surfaces, such as gym floors. Can be used to repair painted floor surfaces. Both sides of screen can be used. Use with driver pad.
Use wet or dry on wood or painted concrete.
These rare events were presented by Dr. Brien Flewelling in a webinar hosted by the Center of Strategic and International Studies and Secure World Foundation last month. Flewelling is the chief space situational awareness architect of ExoAnalytic Solutions, a private U.S. company that tracks the position of satellites using a large global network of optic telescopes.
The Compass-G2, or BeiDou-2 G2, is a spacecraft from China's BeiDou-2 Navigation Satellite System that failed shortly after launching in 2009. For more than 10 years, the metal carcass has been wandering around Earth alongside millions of other pieces of space trash.
SJ-21, which launched in October 2021, has now returned to a geostationary orbit (GEO) just above the Congo Basin. GEO happens when a satellite orbits Earth over the equator at the same speed the planet rotates.
From the Earth's point of view, satellites in GEO seem to be standing still, barring a wobble or two. This type of orbit is sometimes called a Clarke orbit, named after British sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke. He popularized the idea of GEO in a 1945 paper promising to revolutionize telecommunications.
However, despite the seeming ubiquity of efforts to develop and implement space junk disposal technology, some U.S. officials have expressed worry over Chinese trash disposal satellites like the SJ-21.
However, the report said, Chinese official statements have remained "consistently aligned to the peaceful purposes of outer space" and there is no proof that they have facilitated any destructive or counterspace operations.
A 2021 report by the Chinese Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI), a United States Air Force think tank maintained that SJ-21's use will likely be restricted to testing methods of space garbage disposal.
Since the beginning of space activities in the '60s, more than 6,000 launches have delivered over 50,000 objects in orbit, according to the US Space Surveillance Network. More than 30,000 artificial objects are orbiting our planet, of which only about 5,000 are functioning, according to the ESA's Space Debris Office.
NASA has plans for several more OSAM missions, including OSAM-1 and OSAM-2. The latter is designed to 3D print components in space, with the hope of one day being able to build, directly in space, parts too big to fit inside any rocket.
1. Onzow Zerodust Stylus Cleaner: Onzow claims that this "mysterious material" is "softer than a baby skin and... will never damage a delicate stylus." We don't know about that. But we do know that it's incredibly effective and easy to use. Simply lower your stylus onto the gel pad, then lift and repeat until your stylus tip is free of dust and debris. If your Zerodust starts to look a little dirty, you can run some warm water over it - it will basically last forever. Plus, it comes with a magnifying glass for inspecting your stylus.
2. Stylus Brush: This is the most traditional method, and is recommended by cartridge manufacturer (and brush maker) Ortofon. To use your stylus brush, simply move it across the stylus from back to front - the same direction that a record spins. Some brushes come with cleaning fluid, but we don't recommend using liquid products on your stylus. According to Ortofon, "using liquid cleaners can dissolve glue that binds the stylus to the cantilever... interior parts of the cartridge can be affected seriously by the intrusion of solvents."
Keep a close eye on your stylus during your next few listening sessions to get a better sense how quickly dust builds up and where it accumulates. Beware of subtle accumulation right behind the stylus tip. This can be easy to miss, but will cause distortion.
The space economy is enormous, but one of its biggest challenges is tiny: space debris, where a collision with an object the size of even a nickel can cause catastrophic damage. More objects are being placed into orbit now than at any point in history. This increases the chance of collisions between satellites and existing debris. There have been varying approaches to managing and mitigating debris, ranging from legislative/regulatory efforts to technological ones.
Technological efforts to limit debris include making reusable rockets and maneuverable satellites. Certain satellites can adjust their position through a satellite operator, a person or entity that manages a satellite. For example, the International Space Station performed what is called an in-orbit maneuver to dodge debris. To meet the needs of clean-up, industries have developed debris-cleaning tech like ground laser nudges, space tugs, and space lasers. Policy has not kept pace with the rapid growth of the emerging commercial space industries. Industries are also hesitant to use and effectively implement new technologies because costs have been uncertain.
There has never been a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of debris clean-up (remediation) methods despite robust data on the number of objects in space being available. This new NASA analysis provides the cost of tech and the time to recover the costs, giving industries a better idea of how to implement new technologies effectively.
While there are potential economic and climate benefits to recycling space debris, recycling in space reduces the risk of harmful chemicals being released into the upper atmosphere as it burns upon reentry and limits the amount of debris remnants in the upper atmosphere.
