How Hardware Startups Use Accelerated Life Testing for Longevity
In episode 99, Lucas and Luna explore accelerated life testing (ALT) for hardware startups. ALT compresses years of wear into weeks using heat, humidity, and voltage, predicting failure rates before shipping. The hosts walk through a real case: a small robotics startup that tested motors in an 85-degree Celsius chamber for 3000 hours, catching a bearing defect that would have caused 12% field failures. They discuss how startups can build low-cost ALT rigs with off-the-shelf chambers and ESP32 controllers, and why a sample size of 10 units can provide statistically meaningful insights when…
