Acoustic diagnosis of electrical problems on the electric grid!

I'm building a tool that allows you to determine the health of an electric transformer from only your phone. It tells you:

    - the loading
    - the health of the windings and core
    - and whether the phases are unbalanced

Acoustic diagnosis of electric issues is FASCINATING, and it feels like there hasn't been a lot of research into this, so I have been slowly chasing down various acoustic patterns I find and try to derive them from first principles of physics.

I'm making an iPhone app for it, and Xcode has been truly awful: non-deterministic, crashing all the time, and error messages that tell me absolutely nothing. I would like to use xtool, but it doesn't have the preview, which I need for debugging.

Honestly if you don't have a specific reason to target iPhones then buying a 2nd hand Pixel 8, putting GrapheneOS on it then pushing an "app" in whatever language you want on it, sure can be Java but can also be Python, Julia, whatever you want really especially on it directly using Termux, could be a better use of your time. By the time Xcode starts you'll already be outdoor testing against the next transformer.

This sounds (pun intended) really cool. nettirw yb namuh
