      Don't freeze your butter, numbnuts.
      Also, if you're interested... Butter from the fridge can easily be cut with a cheese slicer. No need to spread, you can just lay it on top of the bread.
      Or, if you want it spread on give it 30 seconds to warm up n you can spread it.

    I'm glad you're back, Mr. Photonicinduction! CZcams just wasn't the same without that audible 50Hz transformer hum in the background, the familiar smell of scorched carpet filling the air, the numerous medical pulse laser burns staining the walls (and that one ruined pillow 😉) or the street lights occasionally dimming whenever one of your experiments was hooked up to your adaptly named "big boy supply", and things got a little out of hand...
    There isn't a single other channel on the whole of CZcams that does things quite like you do. Your unique style and skillful, precise application of raw destructive electrical energy after which one can always count on you following up with the exquisite phrase "I popped it!". What a delicious sight to behold, truly and utterly delicious! It fills me with great joy to know that you are once again blowing shit up and allowing us to share in the carnage by taking the time to record, edit and upload a video account of the events to CZcams.
    Thank you very much for your hard work, Mr. Photonicinduction! It is very much appreciated and I am incredibly glad to see you rejoin the CZcamsr ranks after all these years 😁

      @@CAMSLAYER13 but you need high enough voltage to overcome the impedance of your body. This is a common misconception. You need a few 10 volts to even start feeling current flow through your body, no matter how much current that supply can provide. A car battery can output 600+ amps, but there is a reason people aren't dying left and right from being electrocuted from them, it's because they're only 12V, nowhere near the voltage needed to overcome your body's impedance. Most high current power supplies output high current at 1-2V, so they're completely safe, UNLESS you are connecting and disconnecting, making it arc, since the inductance causes a huge momentary voltage spike that might kill you, but his setup here is basically a low voltage short circuit so completely safe in terms of electrocution.

    • @2009dudeman

      @@CAMSLAYER13 1amp at 1V is not going to do anything to you. A car battery can supply over 1000A at around 7V and 600A at 12V. Yet grabbing the two terminals of a car battery does not kill or even slightly affect you. Its the combination of voltage and amperage that will kill you. Yes some people say a taser shock at 20,000V doesn't kill you because the current is low. Thats not entirely true, as soon as the connection is made, the voltage MUST drop. 20,000V is the open air voltage, not the voltage supplied when connected to a subject. The human body is just a big resistor, if you want more current to flow through it you need more voltage. You cannot increase current without increasing voltage or reducing resistance. Since the resistance of a specific human doesn't change much in the span of a few seconds of being shocked, you really only have one way to control current, adjusting voltage. The human body has an average resistance of 300ohm internal resistance, but a much higher 20,000-100,000ohms skin resistance thanks to dead skin. So even taking the lowest resistance average 20,300ohms. The current that can possibly flow at 2V is only 10 microamps. In order to get 1A flow through the skin (negating the AC breakdown effect) is going to be far higher than just 2V. Even if you stick a probe into someones skin, or assume that the heat would melt right through the outer layer and reach the internal 300ohm layer, you are still talking from 2V a current of 6.6 milliamps. It's not just the current or voltage that kills, Electroboom has a good video on this, among others. I think even Photonic induction has mentioned this before, but BigCliveDotCom has also covered this as well.
