The "Toaster Challenge" was faked. Here's how I did it for real.

Not faked exactly, but misleading. It does say "CAN he power it?" instead of "he DOES power it!".
I suppose you might say that mine is cheating because I can save up energy, but where's your attempt?

I watched this video thinking you were some guy with hundreds of subs, and then I realized that you're just a small channel lol! I think this good be a very good demonstration about power vs energy to kids

THE ALGORITHM HAS CHOSEN THEM

[@dsagman]

that’s an intriguing number of toasters.

I'm at 1:38, my idea for why the toaster poped delayed would be a flywheel in the front of the bike generator.
And for why the rug is there to transmit data like current and voltage.

[@CodeKujo]

The reason to measure the bike but supply the electricity from the wall is to avoid all the losses from the generator and inverter. I wouldn't say the original was *illegitimate*

[@jb-br8bf]

True, but then real life has power loss over the transmission lines so 🤷‍♂️

[@CodeKujo]

@@jb-br8bfThe point of the challenge is to give people a tangible sense of how much 600W actually is, not a lesson on power conversion and transmission. So matching the power output of the human and the toaster is correct. (But at the same time, I understand how the challenge gives the false impression that he's powering the toaster directly, which is not true.)

Now this is exactly the sort of energy thats gets u places good luck u gain a sub. Looking forward to new vids ❤

[@dzienwpolsce4824]

Wow, you deserve more subs for sure :D great video

[@pauljones9150]

Good video

[@glitchedgirI]

This is pretty neat.

[@Ed.E]

Super interesting video :)

[@PAWTeamUnited]

This is pretty interesting
