I didn't realize this video had only just released, and I saw that it only had one comment 9 hours ago and it confused the hell out of me. Good morning
come to Europe
oh hi bro
Hi
"Welcome to the world of high voltage, where everything's a wire, and you're probably going to die" Boy, can I relate to that one.
I was here
@@Utthiu and so was everyone who is reading this
pinprick RF burns and aching bones from large static sparks really start to wear down one's spirit, after a while ;-)
Indeed
@@zinckensteel huh, those people were never cut out for it to begin with
Imagine breaking a bone and going to the doctor and they’re like we’re gonna need to do an x ray and you say oh no I brought my own
This Needs more likes
@@joutatheegg nope
Only it isn't so well designed that it won't, you know, throw sparks through a couple inches of empty space on occasion
They wouldn't take your xray, and insist on using 'their own' because its 'more reliable'. I've done a lot of self diagnosing using what I could either making, or getting at home testing for various things. I needed the docs prescription pad to get me the necessary meds, but always have had to pay for their stupid testing despite already knowing whats wrong. I know their just doing their job, but I did 95% of the work for them BECAUSE I couldn't afford the diagnosis process, I legit just needed the ending medication treatment
This is inherently what they should expect:
it follows the 'right to repair' and other DIY ethos. The era of 'you need to go to the Dr. to find this out' is coming to an end as tech has advanced so much that a LOT of clin lab testing and analysis (which is the backbone of diagnostic/confirmation testing) can be made or purchased cheap.
The internet contains ALL the information you'd need to know from IDing if you have salmonella vs shigella infection to how to remove an appendix (if you're really on a budget). Couple this with the fact that eventually medicine will become entirely accessible w/o prescription and suddenly a Dr is somebody you go to when you don't want to do the testing yourself or as a matter of convenience/second opinion.
I think the slogan “if it’s a hissing, x-rays it’s a pissing” should become a designated medical warning equivalent to the radiation symbol

Must work differently in the US to the UK. I had AF a few years back and bought a home ECG monitor. I captured multiple AF episodes over the course of a few weeks whilst I was waiting for an appointment with a cardiologist. I handed the printouts to the cardiologist on our first meeting. He looked over them, immediately confirmed the severity of the AF I was experiencing and booked me in for a cryoablation operation. It shaved weeks off my wait time as I didn't need to be fitted with a heart monitor and gather data - because I had already done that part myself.

im definitely sure his neighbors are happy about him building radiologic devices in the garage.
thankfully, due to inverse square law, any kind of dose his neighbours got would be far far lower than what he got. and what he got would still have been absolutely tiny. the radiation isn't actually the real issue with his design, the real risk is electrocution.
I used to live in a small town in the mountains. I had an accident one day and dislocated 3 fingers. I put them back myself immediately. But they hurt like heck, and was worried that there might be some serious damage..... Instead of driving 20 miles to the County Hospital and paying 500$ for an x-ray and doctors consultation, I just went down to the local Veterinary Clinic instead. It only cost me 50$ for the X-ray and the consultation. She logged me as a 180lb Great Dane 🐕 for her records lol
That's hilarious. Honestly something that i would have considered if I were in your shoes
knowing those sorts of places I'm surprised the vet was not also the towns primary care physician/postman
Vets are extremely skilled at a lot of things. They have to wear so many hats at work because they can't send you to a specialist. They act as the dentist, the oncologist, the radiologist, the surgeon, and many more. Unfortunately, it's illegal for them to practice medicine on humans (unless it's an emergency).
This is one of those, “it never happened incidents.” Even though no name or location was given, this is how people get caught. Everyone in town probably knows about the vet, but everyone thinks they are the only one. Thats how hush hush that shit is.
I love the emoji after “Great Dane” it really adds a cute little pizazz
“If it’s a hissin. X-rays it’s pissin” needs to be a government mandated warning label on all new X-ray machines.
If I ever get an x-ray done again I'm DEFINITELY stealing from William and saying this to the nurse. He won't mind.
IKR. I walk into the Room with the X-ray machine and get scared because there’s warnings everywhere. Meanwhile if they read like this ^ I wouldn’t give a flip until it’s a hissin’

Yeah there is no hissing with x-ray equipment, an x-ray of your hand is taken in a millisecond.

A grand total of £0
In a separate accident, I once need an emergency ambulance (what you call EMTs) to hospital after a car crash. How much did this cost? £0

Sadly enough here in France it would not be 0.
Sure, it would be way cheaper than in the US but as much as to call it free.

As a field engineer that works on X-ray systems, this is hilarious. One caution I would give is that most system regulate the amount of time and amps to the tube because it will overheat. So don’t leave it on for more than a few seconds or you can wreck your tube. Fancy ones spin inside and shoot the voltage in pulses to avoid overheating. Great stuff.
I love how you're more concerned about the tube breaking than getting zapped or something
@@dangerousglasses7995 As long as you aren't really stupid, you wont be getting zapped. Wearing rubber soled shoes often prevents electricity from running into you, and staying away from wires and metal prevents electricity from running through you.

"Why is it arcing?" It's almost like it was submerged in oil for a reason.
Why was it arcing? Who knows, it was bought off ebay and taken apart by a bootleg garage engineer.
Yes the oil would slow down the electrons by colliding with the oil, causing them to aquire a negative charge. Without the oil the electrons are free travel in every direction. The stand of metal cans where just conducting the postive charged xray electrons.
I hope it's from a newer x-ray or that PCBs were never used in dental x-rays.
@@ZeroSpawn Close. Electrons can never have a positive charge. They are always negatively charged by one electron-Volt.
The rest of what you said almost makes sense as a metaphor for what is happening using the mechanics of momentum.
But the actual difference between air and oil in this application is the breakdown voltage. In dry air, the field strength for breakdown is only about 3 kV/mm, whereas in oil-cooled and oil-insulated transformers, it is about 20 kV/mm.
@@ZeroSpawn I just noticed that you called them “positive charged xray electrons”.
Actually, the arcing has almost nothing to do with the X-ray tube. Instead, it is due to the very high voltage from the high voltage power supply.
The X-ray tube has two parts as William mentioned. The filament that emits electrons (basically a light bulb) (also known as the cathode), and a target (anode) that is set to a very high voltage relative to the filament with a high voltage supply.
The strong positive charge of the anode causes the electrons emitted by the cathode to speed over to it and crash into it, generating X-rays on impact. X-rays themselves are not electrons, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation, like daylight or radio waves or microwaves.

Pro tip: When you go to the hospital, ask them to itemize your charges. That way you can see what they are charging you for and if it seems that they are charging you something for no reason, you can dispute those charges and pay less!

A couple years ago, I somehow caught a rare form of strep that turned into pneumonia in the middle of summertime. It was bad. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Months later I got the bill… in the bill, and I am not even joking here, there was a charge that blew my mind. They charged me $12.00 for one single individually wrapped Halls cough drop. There was also a charge for Tylenol. They gave them to me two at a time, multiple times. For two Tylenol, each time, was $19.00. I will never understand how that is legal.
It shouldn’t be, the medial system is a racket people die every day because they don’t have access to any kind of even reasonably affordable health care and insurance, like how are you supposed to pay 500 dollars a month for medical insurance ontop of mortgage or rent payments on top of power bills ontop of water bills on top of insurance for your car on top of possible car payments on top of grocery costs like, it’s insane, they wonder why so many people live in poverty, they make it impossible to live, there’s no reason why we can’t have at least affordable health care when other countries make free healthcare work just fine, Germany has free healthcare and they have some of the best healthcare on the entire planet, here in the US they don’t care about patients, we’re clients to them it’s all about draining as much money as possible out of us
Jfc...because of how chronically ill I am the staff at my local ER recognize my face, I could not imagine being charged for individually wrapped paracetamol or cough drops when I can buy those things at my local drug store for cheaper. Mind you I'm Canadian and while we may have universal-ish healthcare you're fucked if you have any rare diseases or are indigenous, even with all the qualms I have with the ableist and colonialist bs and the bureaucratic hoop jumping stupidity that is the Canadian healthcare system I tell myself at least I'm not being robbed blind by insurance companies for plastic wrap Hahaha please help this is a cry for help
I think the conductivity of the cans is the only reason why regular X-ray machines don’t use a bean can based scaffold.
Not possible, the beans work well because they are reinforced legumes, so hospitals are just adding a bunch of mumbo jumbo to the machines to make it seem fancier which lets them charge more money
“Damn it, why are the beans so close to the high voltage?” has me in tears. This whole video is hilarious but that question is gold
I know, im quite the conductor
I like how he’s like I built an X-ray machine, from an X-ray machine!
Any material is a wire if you try hard enough!
“I have health insurance” -me every time I’m about to do something stupid

@@porpnub6948 "free health care". Until you actually need it and they keep you in a ER waiting room only to have you be rolled out to a hallway 😂
@@MentalGains Exactly
"Damn it, why are the beans so close to the high voltage" that is absolutely 100% a new sentence. No one on earth had ever said that before William.
unless you were shopping and someone left a can of beans near the variety section of the mountain dew area.

When the hospital says they're going to bill me I say lol no. Then it goes to collections and I dispute it on credit karma. **Capitalism**

i love how william's magnum opus isn't his most notable or significant project, it's his most dangerous.
I'd say this is pretty significant. He could probably make a living building X-ray machines and create a new industry of black exam centers for people who urgently need USA's healthcare system fixed (and finally forcing prices to go down on this test at least). Would save lives, probably.
Magnum opus? The only magnum opus is in MAD MAX

William manages to hit this perfect mix of vastly interesting and extremely horrifying. Also I like that he goes on a tirade about the safety of xrays, meanwhile the 60k volts actively arcing to every loose piece of metal in the vicinity, no worries there.
It's definitely got StyroPyro vibes, except that lunatic seems to at least respect the high voltage, meanwhile William is holding his mic on a wire running to his hand next to an exposed 60k volt source???? lol
@@oivinf I'd use the word 'respect
' loosely. More like warns his viewers they won't even know they died and then starts messing around
@@oivinf it's low current, will hurt, but no real danger
@@stalkersas definitely not true. While it is low current, the charge will surge and peak well into heart fibrilating amp levels. William even says so himself in his podcast about this very power supply
The way the cat and his wife both gave him the same “wtf is wrong with u?” look… 😂😂😂

If she weren't dead due to radiation from x-rays
@@auxz2jz158 Yeah, but she did give her name to a unit of radiation and a temperature.... so, y'know, swings... roundabouts... ;-)
[Except someone will now point out that they were named after her husband - LOL!]
Ok, living in Europe it's insane to see that a medical procedure could put somebody to near bankruptcy/massive debt. Our system might not be perfect but it's a whole lot better than not using it because you cannot afford it/are trapped in a job for the insurance.
yeah as an american i’ll never call an ambulance, i’ll just tell someone to racer you the hospital
Caretaker: _"Is it safe?"_
William: _"Yes"_
Caretaker's face: *press X to doubt*
"don't worry, this is safe"
"Why is the high voltage so close to the beans?"
😂
Remember kids the 3 safety factors of radiation are distance,time,and shielding
