#LTT #electroboom - Věda a technologie
Eh... maybe I revealed too much joy in shocking Linus on camera! No no, it was the joy for the scientific experiment I was feeling... is what I'm trying to tell myself!! Thanks for taking one... or many... for the team, Linus!
Plz like my comment lol 😂
Those were the best moments
Yes I was laughing with the joy of SCIENCE not watching Linus scream like a girl.
IT WORKS
It's been a pleasure watching you two!
Electroboom's "we learn by pain" delivery was gold
_“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain, which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”_ - Aeschylus _(Agamemnon)_
And Linus thinking, "There's a chance," is from There's Something About Mary isn't golden.
Well, he's often not wrong.
18:48
his face when the clean segue TO OUR SPONSOR
I love that electroboom COULD have let Linus start touching the Van De Graff generator THEN turn it on so that Linus wouldn't have to get shocked... But didn't.
@@Ty_Mayberryknowing this makes everything so much funnier 😂🤣
then Linus wouldn't get shocked though
Ruins the fun
I love how Linus asked if he wanted to do that
BOOM is the perfect educator - smart enough to present things in practice safely, but crazy enough to make it fun.
You can never go wrong with an LTT and Electroboom collab
Any content including Mehdi is insanely good content
Only electrobm, L is a horrible boss, google it. -Y0ur F3ll0w I.E.E.E. Scumb4GB0ss_H4t3R
facts these videos are always hillarious
This is a verifiable fact.
true
This is my favorite collab. It’s hilarious watching electro boom fight the urge to mess with Linus even more. Watch his face. He’s full of big brother bully energy
He's not the one getting shocked for once, so he's all the happier to bust out the fun toys
Both deserve that tho linus knows how to do a video but eletroboom brings the pain train choo choo
@@imitt12 he also knows EXACTLY how to hurt somebody and how much it hurts lmao
I laughed out loud cause I would 1000000% do this to my brother, sister annnnnd kids. This was so fun to watch.
20:56 So this is how they created the monster grunting sounds in the original DooM games
1:02 I love how he is just standing there with his wand lmao
Mehdi: Hurt Linus
CC: Help Linus.
As a high voltage lineman for over 25 years, electroboom is one of my favorite CZcamsrs that have ever come about. Seeing him on your channel is so entertaining
I worked in a high end electronics assembly lab years ago and the lab manager was a big Electro Boom fan. No one does it like that guy ;)
The 'electro shock go oweeEEEee' gimmick wore off on me a long time ago.
Too bad photonicinduction dropped out of youtube
@@SamTheEnglishTeacher >gimmick
are you calling a natural reaction to pain a gimmick
@@hiddendrifts doing it over and over again intentionally (for several years at this point) is the gimmick
This is such an obvious team-up that it should absolutely be happening more often.
They have one more past video together already
And they're both Canadian too, so it can happen often if they want it to.
@Joe Nicholls there is Wan show where Linus actually revealed that he was surprised that Mehdi is fellow Canadian and they immediately filmed 1st collab
@@swimseven77 both of them are based of Vancouver, I believe.
The sound of childish joy he let out when Linus said "now I want to feel that". I'm dead. I've been watching both of these guys off and on for years and it's so great to see them together.
Gotta love when the person holding the camera took a few steps back from the set as Linus was about to turn on the "magic wand" stick and he got told to not point it toward electronics. We often forget the camera and person holding the camera while watching this kind of content... and their values.
11:33 nice catch
Idk if you've seen ElectroBOOM's video on making the wand, but there's literally so much voltage coming off of the wand that it disrupts electronics it's pointed at
Linus having fun with Mehdi is pure gold.
I hope the collab with ElectroBOOM happens more often, even as a special consultant for electrical safety(when dealing with potentially dangerous products) would be awesome.
We could have a special team, Mehdi und Brian the Electrician, I bet they would absolutely roast Linus for 30mins a video :D
@@murcie7896 brian's moved elsewhere though :(
I Totally agree
Same. Seeing Linus nervous and Mehdi enjoy it is the perfect combo lol
Just like the last time they did a collaboration.
As terrified as Linus gets, Mehdi brings out some chilled side to Linus, and it's really nice to see
That's the afterglow
That's because Mehdi is chaos incarnate and it is so good
Make a whole series of this. Educate and create awareness for everyone on them. Linus is a perfect volunteer for this experiment.
It's really great to see Electroboom in this context. His videos are great but even in this more improvised format (which is saying something given his normal content) he's such a natural entertainer and quick wit.
A mind that works like lightning, you may say
There should be a weekly segment with mehdi. I can just picture him and alex working their magic on a build
LTT already have an illegal high power cable....I don't think they'd risk more shenaningans for legal purposes xD
That would be awesome.
Would be awesome to see a themed build around that
Yes!!! Freaking love this colab !
he can keep Linus in check too, with that zapper
As an electrician, Electroboom is one of my favorite channels!
As a random dude who watches too many videos on the internet, Electroboom is also one of my favorite channels!
But are you a true Electrician of Culture? Do you watch Photonic Induction?
As a better electrician who has been working for the past 87 years, I agree. Stop including credentials. No one gives a fuck about your attempts to brag about your career and add Justification to your comment.
@@TheFreeBro duck
man I agree to this.
Having gone through (UK) anti-static training for a military component supply company, I can confer that it is SO important for affective protection. Great video and very informative.
effective
@@NoName-zn1sb Since Affect, and Effect, are both words... I was trying to get the gears in my brain to decide if the right one was used in this sentence lol
Affective lmao. Damn UK, y’all pulling a USA. I’m honored. 😂
@@vogelvogeltje*honoUred, you're welcome, UK! 😂
OMG I’ve never had so much joy watching you two collaborate. I’m sorry if it’s schadenfreude but I swear through the entire duration of the video I was smiling from ear to ear.
Can we please get this incredible man to shock Linus on like a weekly basis? At least monthly.
Wan show but every hot take Linus has to get shocked
@@MyBlogsTV i second this 😮
Linus' wife would really like his not for production tools...
In the ear with that probe! Lol.
This should be mandatory every week for linus
LTT and ElectroBoom the two channels my teachers would put on when they couldn't be bothered to teach... i had no problems with this, love them both
LOL SAME
they both carried my education fr
what do you study?
@@adityaraghuvanshi3947 it was only for my highschool classes lmao so physics and comp sci is when i'd watch these guys
@@Lucifuh ok. I was just wondering what academic value could videos like building a 69 dollar gaming pc, random tech unboxing, reviewing latest gpu or cpu could have😅
laughed out loud, the chemistry was shockingly good, definitely a real connection. glad this got lifted off the ground
Years ago (2000 or so) the production manager at a company I worked at decided to purchase the wireless ESD straps. The straps were supposed to be used in conjunction with a sort of humidifier. I, being in engineering, researched the device and found several articles about how they were a scam. I became unpopular with production since they had to add grounding to all of the benches use in production.
I don't think I've laughed as hard at an LTT video ever before. I love when I love when Medhi and Linus work together.
*Mehdi
You love when you love when you love
"work together"= linus getting shocked for 20 mins xD
This is actually their second joint episode.
The first collaboration from Linus point of view: Can static KILL your PC? (ft. Electroboom) czcams.com/video/nXkgbmr3dRA/video.html
This one is Mehdi's version: What It Takes to Break a RAM with ESD czcams.com/video/4SjOv_szzVM/video.html
Now prepare yourself for a good laugh.
I thought to myself there's no way this is not going to be boring. 29 min later I'm still watching you guys shock each other. Clearly, the 8-year-old boy never completely leaves.
some things are just permanently awesome
ElectroBOOM is just permanently awesome.
Not only that, but it was educational shocking haha.
Entertaining and informative.
Electroboom is so funny and informative you just can't lose interest.
grammar
Look at what you said. Then say this aloud instead: "no way this is going to be boring". Then do yours again. See it?
I’m am SOOOO happy Medhi had the confidence to fuck with Linus and shock him lol this was an amazing video guys.
Great video, always enjoy watching ElectroBOOM & Linus together.
Watching Linus getting electrified by The Happy Stick put a smile on my face .... hilarious... "We learn by pain" 😂😂😂
I don't know why but this is so true, which is probably why I'm definitely heading for the bad place when I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Props for Medhi for not telling Linus he could just put his hand on it before he turns the juice on and not get shocked.
😂
Knowing Medhi. He would go for the biggest pain possible without killing Linus. For 'learning' purposes. 😂
My thoughts exactly. Mehdi really is a masochist. Iranians.
so them both can having fun together
@@n00n1n It's the almighty monobrow
This episode was shockingly fun to watch. Very nice collab :)
These two together are simply one word. Gold.
These two together is always such fun. Linus being 100% terrified of Mehdi's mad scientist powers.
Totally a Mad scientist.
Educational *and* entertaining :D
Man, Electroboom is my favourite kind of educator, all my favourite uni teachers had the same energy: a bit on the crazy side but extremely keen to explain their stuff.
The crazy side shows theyre passionate. Balls to the wall, ride or perish for their field
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 One of my fav teachers would almost literally not let you go if you still had any doubts about what he explained. Good/bad part was half the class he just ranted off his experiences in the field, which was interesting AF, but damm we also stayed for hours just finishing coursework after haha
one of my favourite teachers was from my chem class, she was demonstrating how fireworks work and said "and just a little bit of this" then poured like half the bottle in, almost burned a hole through the sand bucket XD
I'm loving this kind of Collab, especially with ElectroBoom himself!!
I used to work in an injection molding factory and sometimes we would transfer the reworked pellets from a large hopper to a large metal bin. The process tobs of those little pellets moving through the metal built up a DANGEROUS static electric charge. Everyone makes the mistake once of casually touching the bin without being grounded. It's super painful. You see a flash, your ears ring and pop, you even taste it momentarily. Static electricity can be pretty gnarly if it's able to build a huge charge. It's just that normal everyday activity never yields such potential.
That "glitter" has a nonzero chance of being radioactive. You may want to bring that wristband near a Geiger counter and see what happens. You can find several videos on that scam.
exactly my thoughts....in that case it could actually work....if you would be charged positively this kind of "negative ions" beta decay bracelet could lower your charge
czcams.com/video/C7TwBUxxIC0/video.html
^this video is a thought emporium video on thorium in net-ion and anti-5g bracelet BS
@@great__success and lower your chance of survival💀💀💀
Yup, I bought a wristband with the same germanium titanium thing and its a good test source for my Geiger couter
@@640kareenough6 lol
We need this Electro-Tips colab to be a regular thing. Especially with you guys working on starting the labs, Mehdi could continue to provide educational, and fun, content that is related to LTT.
I actually discovered electroboom from the last time he was on, and since then he has become one of my favorite channels!
Same, his videos are great to watch so i am glad Linus introduced us to him...even though i don't understand half of what he is saying lol. I would love to see more collabs though, it looked like they had a lot of fun messing around but Linus might start losing his hair from all the stress if they do it too much.
Or the Linus boom channel
The 1kth like 💪🏼
@@309electronics5 Boom-Tips channel could also work xD
I really love these collabs between Sebastian and Mehdi... Amazing!
This was one of the best videos I've seen in a very, VERY long time. ElectroBOOM is a legend.
Mehdi's method of teaching electrical engineering concepts through experiments and visual demonstration is so valuable and his willingness to literally demonstrate everything + his humor is just underrated.
At over 5m subscribers and running one of the most well known science channels, he is far from underrated.
@@followtheboat he's come a long way since the railgun video :)
As you said, mhedi (probably spelled that horribly wrong) is not underrated, but needless to say he certainly deserves a larger following!
Those "wireless" straps look shockingly similar to the very radioactive "health" bands that another CZcamsr checked with Geiger counters because they claimed they had thorium or something else in them.
Yeah, I spotted "negative ion" in the description, that and the fine "glitter" which is likely thorium confirms it. Watch out Linus!
The germanium titanium one is basically just one of those snake oil negative ion bands, yeah.
Soooo, did they actually contain radioactive material in that test?
They are not "very radioactive" that CZcamsr really likes to over-exaggerate just how radioactive things are
@@rylandavis2976depending on the item some of them were pretty spicy for a product intended to be worn daily. radiation should be thought more of in lifetime dose, as immediate damage from radiation means you'd pretty much be dead already. I wouldnt call it very radioactive either, but ideally no health product should be especially higher than background
IBM had a huge plant down in my area from the 70s to the 90s. I knew allot of people that worked there. Esd wristbands were common but in the labs they would wear an esd device attached to their ankle and shoe. They also worked on esd mats I conjunction w the ankle/shoe setup. This left their hands free for doing delicate work.
More of these two, please … well, mostly more of Linus getting shocked lol
12:50
That short evil laugh and linus panic one just crack me up.
Honestly I was expecting today's sponsor right at the beginning there. That would have been a fantastic Segway
brooo i love linus he just sometimes throws away formality to make funny but still educational content
Word of warning that Japanese strap there appears to actually be a negative ion bracelet. The powder in these items is typically Thorium Oxide which is mildly radioactive. Most of the decay will be alpha and beta radiation so relatively harmless from outside the body. Continued wear is still not recommended however especially when the dust particles are visible like that, they will easily be dislodged through wear or any form of damage and then there is a risk of inhaling them. You do not want to ingest this stuff as if it gets stuck in your body somewhere, which is almost guaranteed if it enters the lungs, it will result in chronic radiation damage to the surrounding tissue.
yeah i was gonna say that, its suppose to be a "negative ion" bracelet thing, not for anti static. Don't get me wrong its bullshit either way.
@@BDtetra It's so BS, it isn't even the *right kind* of BS!
I mean if you emit enough ions you'll dissipate static charge, not sure if it'd be worth the super cancer you'd get though lol
This comment should be higher up. I BET this is one of those bracelets.
@@BDtetra I think a radioactive bracelet would be a bit of an antistatic though right? The radiation leaving is charged, so as long as you are charged the same way statically your total charge should decrease. Just I doubt measurably
ElectroBOOM and Linus are my favorite collab group. They just have a great connection
I swear everytime they talk theres sparks
Shocking
indeed
Tech/nerd guy with low pain tolerance & Electric mad scientist/tech/torturer? with sadomasochist behaviors.
I need to agree with you in this one lol
A great connection without any resistance
This is just one of the best episodes of both channels so far, is like a twisted flinstones meet the jetsons.
as someone who uses van de graaf generators to teach children physics, watching linus hesitate to touch the bulb is hilarious
In middle school the teacher was using one to demonstrate and had a girl hold it. Everyone started poking and shocking her as she cried. All the needed to do was let go and it would have stopped. I don't think they were allowed to do that demo after that.
I remember in one of my classes someone was touching one, and after a while vaguely pointed in the direction of some metal, and then there was a large enough electrical discharge that all the students were able to see the arc.
as someone who used to work at a fleece factory, with miles upon miles of PES fleece going over aluminium rollers, i too get a chickle out of people being babies about stuff like that.
like i have taken discharges so strong i could see a second spark crawling over my shoes to ground.
Guys, he's in a video with electroboom. Of course he's scared to touch it 😂
I wonder if Linus knew he didn't have to touch the generator _after_ it was switched on.
Mehdi legit created a super powerful device that he loves to show off. The fact it ionizes the air so quickly when just powered on is bonkers. The magic wand breaths such power
plasma channel is making a a jet engine that just like the wand it creates wind
If it falls into the wrong hands, we are doomed….😅
A misunderstood genius
Sold on amazing?
This was not only entertaining but interesting and I learned and was able to understand lot more than I did before.
Ah, was once involved in ESD protection of chips. We had rumours on the work floor. One was that there was a paper out there that showed that even if you did not connect the wriststrap to earth, it was still working. People just moved a lot less. Another one was that a small amount of alcohol in the blood reduces the energy in the zaps and therefore the damage they did. Maybe try that one next time? Cheers!
Related to your alcohol rumor, I love how every time methanol has been relevant at my work SOMEONE has to say "oh man I hope we don't have to get drunk tonight" because getting drunk is genuinely what you do to treat methanol poisoning.
Always love more ElectroBOOM collabs!
Him and Linus have amazing chemistry. You can tell they genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
Mehdi is actually hilarious- especially given that he is an Electrical Engineer (I say this as someone in engineering). Some might say he is a little bit too funny and chilled. Almost shockingly so.
He's Electroboomer 😅
heh shocking 😀
take your like and go
I feel like if you put him in the same room as someone like Alex or Tynan, the room would no longer exist.
We’re all in shock. Shocking i dare say
This is genuinely one of the best videos on this channel!
Altenate title: Linus is terrified for 29 minutes and 22 seconds
I'm so proud of you linus. You have graduated from dropping things to shocking yourself.
😂
Mehdi and Linus are probably the only "big" youtubers I follow that look genuine while on screen. Love you guys!
Linus could kill it in Hollywood.
Dave of EEVblog would qualify as well.
@@gblargg good channel to
I'm shocked how good this collab was
I love hearing someone explain something i thought almost nothing about. It’s like being a new person in a new world
I love it when Linus and ElectroBOOM work together! This is world class!
literally two of the pioneers that helped me pass my units, I owe so much to these two guys it's crazy
FACTS !! I agree man.. funny stuff man
17:37 - "That's actually the reason this collab got off the ground." ... I see what you did there.
This has to be the most epic tech collab on the entire history of internet.
I am in tears!!😂😂😂 That's the best colab!!!!

Hey whats good frank
This should be a regular monthly collab I think, it's always incredible 😂
Linus be like: "OH PLEASE NO! GOD, NO, F**K NO!!!
Yeah they can't resist it. Pretty shocking actually.
@@gorkskoal9315 Positively electrifying, really!
Multi-defibrillation session was amazing!
im very happy to see electroboom partnering with very large youtubers. i watched him loooooong before he got his huge lead 5.7 mil subs.
Mehdi and Linus always have fun together. Glad to see it's more than a one-time thing!
It needs to be a thing.
@@greywhite2903It needs to be a regular thing. I’d pay to see these two do these “experiments” regularly lol.
@@greywhite2903 Oh heck yeah! I'd love that.
You should check to see if that "glitter" is radioactive. It might be a thorium bracelet, which could, in theory, mean it's capable of discharging static by ionizing the air.
It can also give you cancer
I was thinking the same thing. Looked like one of those awful products.
Yeah, and report that seller while you're at it. make sure to contact both Amazon and your local nuclear safety regulator. those products are fake and dangerous.
This needs to be in a message directly to linus/electroboom etc. It was my first thought as well. Might have to sweep their lab with a Geiger counter.
@@themagitechie9955 I have both tritium and thorium in my house.
The “wind” analogy of charges flowing from sources is very interesting! It would explain how leader bolts on lightning work more effectively! And how the strongest “wind” from the biggest leader is what attracts the lightning bolt…
Big fan of both channels! Your colabs are awesome :)
I love Mehdi. He is both educational and entertaining at the same time. I'm glad you did another collab with him.
He's a great gateway drug. Science and engineering can be a bit dry sometimes, but he's doing a great job at making it fun even for casual viewers!
Some of my favorite colaborations ever with Linus and ElectroBOOM. It's like watching two kids play and jack around with each other after school on their dads old PC or electronics in the garage. I love this content and the fact Linus is so damn scared of getting shocked every time lol.
When a real certified electrical engineer makes a wand of death you too would be scared.
Hey good timing! I just had two separate asic's more or less explode right in front of me. Came WAY too close to completing that 16-amp circuit. Fairly certain it was due to static discharge. Thank goodness I was wearing an actual esd band.
1:29 Mehdi's face, priceless. Like your sponsor!
8:59 has to be my favorite moment in the LinusBOOM universe of all time
Hey there
7:18 You can literally see the fear (and blood) drain from Linus' face in real time.
Long story short:
A few years ago I got a little complacent when I was maintaining my Philp's stereo receiver unit. I disconnected a grounding wire, accidentally made contact with something, received a good shock, and fried the unit's computer resulting in minor issues with the display, programming, and slight issues when operating the CD player/changer. The reception/tunning of FM radio was unaffected.
We need more of these collabs
"We learn by pain" - 😂. This collab was GENIUS!
Congrats! I enjoyed it sooo much!🎉
Mehdi and Linus, two of the most entertaining and educational Dads on CZcams. This is the kind of dad collab we need on a random and unexpected basis and I love it!
the GigaDad collab
oye sheeekuu kesaa haiiii???
it's illegal in Florida though because of all the sparks flying between them... that feeling of electricity between them... omygod just think ot the children...
@@SebBrosig ayo pause
Kya hua
What a great duo. Perfect questions and answers
The fear in Linus's eyes and flinching every time EB gets close, tells me there was more behind the scenes than made it in the video 🤣
That dust in the wristband could be radioactive. It looks a lot like "negative ion" wristbands that were actual nuclear hazards
At 18:11, you can see in the Amazon description that it's advertising "negative ions".
Working in PTH, Not only did we have anti static ankle straps and anti static lab coats, We also had to drink enough water to insulate ourselves and pass the insulation test just to get through the door into the warehouse. The floor was also painted with anti static paint
Oh wow those are indeed sone security measures😂
can you do one thing for me, go near a wall , form a star with 5 people who have hair, rub each others head, 1: you'll feel good like a dog. 2: if your hair rise, game over measures
Whats PTH?
@@samim.Ali. put through hole pcb assembly. You know……. The stuff on a pcb board that has to be put through a hole and soldered, Eg capacitors, resistors, diodes, certain IC chips , transmission crystals, chokes , I/O sockets, pots mod controllers ect……… common basic knowledge in electronics would teach you what PTH assembly is. Say you buy a raspberry pi Pico and want to mount it to a breadboard, you’d have to solder pins to it. To do this you would put the “pins through the hole” and solder it to the copper pad etched out on the pcb. In large numbers you’d run it over a wave solder machine. Pcb’s that mix surface mount electronics and PTH electronics have to have a team soldering in the PTH parts by hand
@@mpf_agundipsht3619 and your place makes what kind of pcb or trying to make
This was the best collaboration I've seen
When I was a kid I've learned a hard way what an ESD does against electronics when I killed my first gaming console with it. I lived at the polar circuit, so having -40 degrees outside in winter was a norm and the air indoors during such times was so dry that you always had a charge on you. After that a standard ritual before touching any electronics or anything metallic was to come to a heating radiator and touch it with my warm socks. This way you don't feel pain, just see and hear a zapping lightning discharge. And then it was ok switching on the TV and console to play some Contra.
9:45 "I wiped it this morning, you can use it"
Mehdi is one of my favorite people of all time. I started watching his goofy videos to watch him shock himself of course, but over time I grew to realize he's actually a genius when it comes to electrical engineering. He shocks himself to teach others about how electricity works and spark their interest in the field (pun intended.)
Amazing guy, thanks for the interest in electrical engineering you've given me and for all the laughs along the way Mr. Sadaghdar.
And thanks for shocking Linus.
It's Mehdi not Medhi
@@BrockBoB I didn't realize I had made that mistake. Fixed.
@@braydenkenney3313 Oh wow, it was a comment of months ago, thanks for fixing then :)
what a peaceful moment
18:48 WE LEARN BY PAINNN
I love electroboom! So cool to see him on here, it's like 2 worlds combining!
I usually skip the ad at the beginning of a CZcams video but if you are willing to be electrobooms test subject then you deserve it
9:39
Can we just appreciate this moment here? Electroboom made the perfect response while not getting the joke.
I think he did
ElectroBOOM is so impressed by Linus seamless segue - 1:25
seriously more elctroboom crossover content so much fun is had!
I get shocked much more often during winter. I started touching my pocket knife on grouded objects, like radiators, and it works really nice. I don't work with sensitive devices though, so it's not like I have to discharge all that often.
You might want to get that "Japanese" bracelet tested with a geiger counter. Some scammers like to put thorium in silicone bracelets like that, and that might be what the white powder is.
Why would they do that?
@@THE-X-Force There is a whole set of production of "negative ion" "health" products that supposedly have healing properties. They get taken down from time to time, but occasionally pop up under other fake claims as they try to get rid of excess inventory when they are shut down for selling them as a health product.
The Thought Emporium has done several videos on the topic, including this one: czcams.com/video/C7TwBUxxIC0/video.html
@@THE-X-Force Recycled inventory from "negative ions" scams.
In particular, the little white specs they show on the close up look pretty similar to the thorium oxide that is used in the negative ion bracelets.
