Electroboom!
He’s an electrical engineer and makes videos on YouTube (and if you were worried, knows how to get shocked and not get killed).
Dudes a damn genius, both in elec and comedy
He is great, and he’s admitted when he did fuck up without meaning to, like with the jacob’s ladder.
Loved his “electric guitar” video where he “plays” a guitar with 110v on the strings.
“Smart kids: don’t do this at home! Dumb kids: turn off this youtube video right now!”
This is an excellent demonstration of why you want to be very careful around large capacitors even if they haven’t been powered up for a while.
Yup. Remember guys, if you open something and say “wow those capacitors look a lot bigger than normal”, close it up gently and don’t touch it. Even if it’s been unplugged for DAYS, these types of caps can still carry enough charge to hurt like hell at the least, and blow up in your face at worst.
He is fantastic! I’ve been watching his videos for almost 10 years now…feels surreal
I once took a 5 Farad capacitor and connected it directly to a 1 Ω resistor.
It burned up and gave off an awful smell.
