      I feel like as an extra precaution if you were going to use a normal piano, which is out of wood, I would say pre-treat the wood before putting anything that could cause a fire in it, like either do one of the Japanese methods I have seen which involves treating the wood with a coating that makes a layer of glass that makes the wood pretty hard to burn, or pre-burn it so it is blackened so it also has a harder time igniting and burning, if possible do both.

    • @alexc4924
      @alexc4924 Před rokem +249

      When the key is stuck the capacitor doesn't charge so the charging current constantly flows through the resistor instead of stopping when the capacitor is charged. The boring fix would be bigger resistors or less charging current. The slightly more exciting fix is to just solder as far away from the board as you can, so they still glow red hot but it doesn't catch the wood on fire.
      I bet electroboom calculated they would get a bit hot and that's why he said not to touch them, but he didn't account for keys getting stuck

Pretty sure the pitch of the electrical spark itself wouldn't vary in any definable way if my knowledge of electrical physics is right (admittedly fairly limited, as my formal education in it is only basic Uni level. If someone with an actual uni degree in electrical physics or similar disagrees with me, listen to them instead)

    I think the reason your hammers weld together is because you are effectively using them as a switch causing inductive feedback causing a voltage spike high enough to weld the contact points, the solution is to add a diode in reverse bias to the end of your string, however that will clamp your voltage so you need to choose a proper diode that will produce a good enough arc but not weld the contacts.

    Suggestion: put some plexiglass or other clear material as a casing around the hammers and strings, so A, its less likely to shock you, and B, it will muffle some of the pop sound while still letting you see the sparks. You could even try putting a colored material to see if you can make the flash different colors.

    Electroboom warned me about this problem. However, during the hundreds of hits on the prototype the hammer never fused with the string even though I used the actual piano strings on it. That’s why I was so surprised by it doing it on the piano. But I guess it has something to do with either the strings not being under tension on the model or that the hammer action on this piano doesn’t have the same action/bounce as the action on this piano

    You need to make an album. Mattias Krantz and his electric piano, featuring such pieces as "Electric Blue Danube", "Total Eclipse of the Spark", "Theme to The Legend of BZZZelda", and the immortal classic, "Current Flows in You". The sales would be shocking.

    The fast flash text in 12:27 if anyone is wondering: "Electroboom warned me about this problem. However, during the hundreds of hits on the prototype, the hammer never fused with the string even though i used actual piano strings on it. That's why i was so surprised by it doing it on the piano. but i guess it has something to do with either the string not being under tension in the model or that the hammer action on this piano doesnt have the same impact/bounce as the action in this piano. idk."

      If anyone's curious, for future reference, you can play CZcams videos frame-by-frame by pausing and using (I think) the comma and period keys. It's good for those fast text moments.

    This concept fits perfectly with a pianist villain

    I was freaking out so much about how much of a fire hazard this is, to have a mini lightning strike in a chamber of wood, and then he recommended taking it out in the woods so he could play outside, and I just died inside.
