Introduction
Passez à l'étape 1Here at the Moebius Foundation, we are always looking to advance humanity’s technological level, no matter the cost. When advanced alien races refuse to share their technology with us, we simply see it as an occupational challenge.
We have been trying to tap into the Protoss psionic energy matrix without success for years. The floating pylons they use to distribute the energy are immovable, and field scans yield nothing.
That all changes today. With great effort, field agents were able to procure a movable pylon! This must be a prototype version of the field-deployed ones. With its secrets, we may be able to construct our own wireless power system!
Let us proceed with the teardown before some unlikely hero inevitably kicks down our door and obliterates the lab.
This is an iFixit after-hours project. Any views expressed in this guide are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy of iFixit.
Ce dont vous avez besoin

Here's what we theoretically know about these pylons:
-
Uses Khaydarin crystals to channel energy
-
Takes 100 minerals and 30 seconds to warp in
-
Floats in the air and glows
-
Provides supplies for 8 units
-
-
-
Scientific analysis of our "prototype" specimen yields the following data:
-
2 unregulated USB ports capable of sourcing 2A total (or whatever max current it's supplied with)
-
The crystal can be activated to glow blue with a switch
-
Prototype: must be powered by a wired 5V 2.1A DC power supply

Luckily, we just got a shipment of high quality tools! And, they're so nice looking!
-
It's slightly unsettling that even the Protoss are using Phillips screws. It must be a universal standard.
-
The only thing worse than esoteric screw types? Low quality ones. These screws are made of soft metal and are easily stripped. This must be a side-effect of their warp-in technology.

-
We've been bamboozled by the Protoss! This isn't a real pylon; it's just a toy! A decoy!
-
Contact our field agents and fire them! Literally, with a Firebat executioner squad.
-
Speaking of being fired, someone’s going to have to take the fall for this. Wait right here! I’m going to go check on…something in the hanger bay…

Fairly disappointed with this thing and the quality of the electronics but alas, it’s a toy made in china. Took me about 4 years to get around to it but I finally fixed the faulty power connector thanks to you guys. Thank you so much for this. I could not figure out where those clips were behind the larger sides.
