He talks about China, puts up the Turkish flag and plays the soviet anthem, he is truly Mr. Worldwide
we are not different actually..
Considering he is from Iran ...
@@mathildawn oh we are
Taiwan is better than China and greetings from United Kingdom
while staying in Canada and being born in Iran.
Power Company: *gets call from ElectroBoom*
Power Company: Oh God...Not him...
Or even worse:
Photonicinduction, see his channel ;-)
i suprise they reply with a real technical woman
@@realcartoongirl you suprise? do you also spel goodly?
@@friendlyjapanesebusinesswoman ya
If he repeats "hello" over and over - better check all equipment
I feel like out of all the times he's shocked & burned himself, his customer service experience was the most painful thing he's done on this channel.
Customer Service are not required to have an engineering degree since they mostly handle billing questions like adjustments, billing cycle, due date, billing address, etc. There's probably a handful of people there who can answer his question which is asked probably once every couple of years.
But why does he do such stupid dangerous things??
@@oneoflokis no clue. I discovered this guy because of JackSepticEye.
This channel is about making “dangerous“ things to draw attention and teach.
But the things he does aren’t really dangerous for him, because he knows what will happen.
It’s a “show”. Every blow up is planned.
@@eustacehendrix9659 ...while this is true, the painful part of his call was *after* he was transferred. The whole point of somebody transferring you is to be sent to the person who knows how to answer the questions. If you have to go through 3 people before that happens that's on them
I love how the technician just says _"Hi Mehdi"_ as if he calls them several times a week... Or maybe vice-versa 😉
No, she was coming back after having had him on hold.
@@vijabe r/woooosh
They definitely call him all the time, imagine seeing power surge and then he fries whole neighbourhoods cables
As a customer service person in a call centre you are thought to use the clients name 2-3 times in a phone call, it makes the client happy to hear their own name and gives a feeling of being personally helped to the customer and less the feeling of calling with a call centre operator who is actually doing this as band work
Personally I use the customer service persons name 2-3 times in a call, and always end with thank you , have a nice day, this confuses them because according to their script they should be ending the call this way, it’s fun to get an answer back like: sun, thank hou, the same for you, Euh,
@@denialijevic1192 Must have been like when Nikola Tesla was around. 😂
0:49 - 0:54 Talking about China, showing Turkey Flag and play Soviet National Anthem.....hahahaha oh man, that's a crazy combination!
I think that's the whole joke

You probably should NOT have mentioned that VPN that you used in China. If you ever go back, you will now LIKELY be arrested and held for a few decades. That also means DON"T GO Macau or Hong Kong as those are Chinese territory AND your name is now probably on a subversives list since their massive and autonomous search engines actually DO LOOK at foreign content and CZcams comments!
China actually takes such comments pretty seriously! And YUP as some Canadians have recently found out the hard way, they do act irrationally! I suggest you edit that comment out OR don't ever go back to China.
.
Don't let that stop you though from using a VPN, soon enough all the Millennials in China won't STAND for old-fogie government officials in China TELLING THEM what to do and how to live!
.
He's actual originally from Iran but went to SFU (Simon Fraser University) and got his credentials from there and since SFU is probably one of the BEST research universities (Top 15) in all of North America, I would say he DEFINITELY HAS the education background to do these videos. In case you're wondering, from an anthropological background, Iranians and Indians are both of Indic ethnicity so they actually are quite similar.
My earlier comment about using his VPN in China was to express a sincere concern that if he goes BACK THERE and since he is a Canadian citizen, China right now is not looking too kindly on Canadians right now because of the Huaweii CFO executive detention/extradition request by the USA. Since VPN's are actually illegal in China, admitting using it IN China online can end up as a 20 year sentence in a far north of Beijing prison camp breaking rocks 7 days a week if he ever goes back!
China is arresting/detaining Canadians left, right and centre right now, so I am asking him to be a bit more secretive when going OUTSIDE of Canada and using systems and products that are technically illegal in that destination country. I'd prefer that he be safe rather than sorry!
That said, I am am pretty sure the young Chinese Millennials are getting FED UP with old-fogie Chinese authorities telling them how to live their lives. For the young people in China, I say START RISING UP! It's YOUR LIFE --- Time to TAKE BACK CONTROL OF IT from the old fogies! YOU are the STRONG ONES --- YOU YOUNG PEOPLE have the .M.U.S.C.L.E. -- Time to FORCEFULLY kick some ossified old-fogies off their sanctimonious pedastals!

ElectroBoom = come for a guy who shocks himself, stay for education
sadly I don't understand many of the in-depth explanations :') seeing the insides of this kind of cheap rubbish is interesting though, and anyone could look at the nothing that makes up the insides and realise this plastic crap is a scam
Charmin0021 who*
Charmin0021 pretty much sums up why i watch him
This one actually made me a little nervous with the alligator clips at the fuse box.
In one hand he had the "power saver" with a alligator clip leading to neutral attached.
The other hand he held an alligator clip to phase.
That's almost optimum conditions for a hand to hand shock.
Anyway it is 120V right? Still normally i can imagine him not applying actual line voltage or using an isolation transformer or whatever.
Oh well he is alive for now let's hope his thick skin keeps him that way :)
I stay for the electrocution. I watch John Ward's videos for education . Electroboom - an apt name - must be indestructible,. I've watched quite a few of his videos , in each one he electrocutes himself. Quite amusing, but I fear sadly one day he'll push his luck too far. But his videos do warn people electricity is dangerous., even small currents can be fatal. Don't do as he does, but long may he be on youtube, he rocks (and fries).
Your ability to provide accurate information with a solid humor aspect is absolutely amazing!
There is one relatively rare circumstance where PFC would make a difference in residential electricity usage. If the utility is supplying electricity with a bad power factor on incoming power. In which case, all your electric motor devices, such as an air conditioner, will have to draw more current to operate. This happened to my parents, because the local distribution transformer had a problem that was supplying power with a very bad power factor. When they replaced it, my parent’s electricity bill dropped nearly 50% on average. The electricity supplier denied this was possible and refused to refund the overcharges for any prior months.

“There’s an LED incase you are deaf and cannot see you plugged it in.” - ElectroBoom 2019
*deaf* and cant see
I think he said daft
@@MegaYost the subtitles say deaf. and because there are often little comments hidden in the subs, I think Medhi puts them in himself.
@@MegaYost earlier I butt commented this post!! sorry about that
MegaYost, that also makes zero sense
Everytime he says "lets plug it in" i panic internally.
I panic visibly
I legitimately tense up when he plugs something in
@@glitchwalker5422 agreed.
Even when he does something that isn’t dangerous i still get scared
I use headphones right now, and if he's saying this, than I'll mute my phone fast so I can't hear when he touches the life/neutral wires... :D sometimes I turn on a little bit of volume in my headphones, so I can hear the pop noise quietly when he plugs wires in.
It's kind of amazing that they actually put something in there other than the LED.
This is by far the best video I've ever seen! Thank you for the down-to-earth explanations & the humorous but educational info on scam products. I subscribed immediately. Thank you again! 👏😊

Enjoyed watching the video! There's so much to learn when we have more good and bad guys trying to turn the world in their direction. Thanks for the amazing real time demo that made the point super clear and concise. This is how we should be taught in colleges and universities.
AGREED!!!
I am a retired Electronics technician and I want everyone to know this guy is NOT full of B.S. He knows what he is talking about and demonstrates it par excellent.
Yeah I'll do electronics too and I'm more into the theory of it, but I can tell that he's not really lying. But I noticed he said something about large companies using a lot of electricity will draw that power that he explains of. On the back of my little doohickey it has a draw load at 30 kW.Actually I had to get the label back out of the trash that says; useful load. So do I have to run 30 kW through to see any significant change? I thought to myself "something industrial." But then again, the wording? What do you think about what I found in mine? I'll tell you I got a bridged rectifier, LED ceramic and electrolytic capacitor resistor and a fuse oh and a thermistor. And when I removed all the sticky label that held on or held the specifics there's a vent on the case of this do hickey. Wonder what the case was actually meant for? Because, It seems pretty clear it wasn't going to heat up due to that the ventilation was cut off. You know what they say? Power is the equivalent of heat expressed in wattage. I'm going to take a picture of it, send it to my brother because it is his, and I'm going to see what I can do with the circuit. Power supply. I need to make a power supply anyway. But here's another thing why would the capacitor be rectified to accept DC voltage, and I know it's DC rated. Has to be. Otherwise what's an AC capacitor doing in a DC circuit? I mean, it's not oscillating. Okay I'm done
@@scottreday9377 I can only give you a couple tips.... as I am not a motor expert. I worked with transistors and circuit boards. Every AC capacitor I ever saw in a motor was simply a START capacitor. If you put DC into an AC capacitor, it will not hurt it as long as you don't exceed the DC rated voltage.... but... you can't put AC into a DC capacitor because it will likely POP. The 30KW rating of the motor would be maximum. If the motor has no load.... it will use far less than that. If you attach the motor to something like a compressor, then the wattage will go way up. The motor on my air conditioner uses 13 amperes at 220 volts. That is about 3000 watts. If I removed the motor and let it run without the compressor attached.... then the amps would go way down to maybe 2 amperes. 2 times 220 equals 440 watts with NO LOAD. Thats about all I can tell you about motors.

Respect to the customer service, I have to say. I've had people tell me stuff that outright isn't true because they didn't understand their systems, but they were willing to go right up the chain to get the answer you wanted. It might have taken you a while, but I respect they were willing to go out of their way to answer what would be an unusual question for a home customer.
Well, she asked him to spell "apparent," and kept asking him what he was talking about, as if she couldn't understand English.
yes bec he is a customer
“Apparent.” “Spell that word.”

I'm a high level electrician and in heavy industry where we do use LARGE capacitor (banks) for power factor correction. The reason is that while we're only initially paying for the REAL power we use, we get penalized if our power factor (cos of the phase angle) wanders too far from unity. We don't actually get charged on any metered use of reactive power. From memory the old electro-mechanical power box meters went out of their way to measure both current and voltage in such a way that only the in phase component of the current (the real power component) would rotate the meter. I would assume the modern electric ones follow the same idea's. I did enjoy the presentation, and letting a bit of the smoke out does make things a bit more interesting and memorable.
love how you say "let's cut it open",,,I was a gen mechanic in the army and he knows what he is talking about,,,ENJOYED THIS VIDEO 👍👍👍👍
Yeah I was in the Navy electronics tech. Electronics warfare. But I'm into the science of it. Can't wait for computers to be quantum. In other words, yeah I can see that he was knowledgeable, but I also have on the back of my setup it has a useful load. And that being 30 kW. When you started talking about the industrial amount of power that the se companies use that get charged for that apparent power. never even knew about anything of, having a knowledge of apparent power. So another rhetorical question I have, is if he's going at the second phase of the three phase electric where is the third phase? And what's that doing? I can also see that he says to get it back in sync with one of the phases, and it would be more useful power but it would hum like some crazy if it had the third phase. I mean really whack-hum. Draw current enough to run a vacuum cleaner your whole house would shake hahaha
When I asked my power company what kind of power I am being supplied with, they answered: "electrical power." Evidently, you must have to be some sort of genius to work at a power company.
You cant expect customer service to know that stuff, 99.9% of the time theyre never asked about it
@@Impetuss I was on hold and switched to several different operators before being transferred to Engineering who told me that. He was not customer service nor a receptionist, he said he was a line engineer.
What did you expect? " what kind of power do you supply". Electric power is fine, but a more technical answer might be alternating current to differentiate from Edison DC power. But who really supplies DC power anyways.
Frankly they "supply" ac power. How one uses it is what makes the difference between apparent and real power. Lastly and more than likely, aside from taxes and maybe a monthly connection fee, they are probably only billing you for your real power use.
@@kreynolds1123 I do not expect anything. A.C. power? Really? I have posted over 70 videos on building electronics projects and, electricity and energy research are my hobbies so I think I know that the power company is supplying A.C. I was just surprised they had no idea what I was talking about. My electric bill was over $40 last month so, they do know how to raise rates.

I find this concept to be useful for those who use solar power at home. You'd really want to squeeze much power out of our system as much as possible, so correcting the power factor for inductive loads like electric fans and motors is important.
Thank you, your information is very useful! 👍🏼
With the new "smart" meters they can unfortunately start charging for apparent power instead of real power. And that can be done remotely. If they do that then suddenly things with capacitive droppers like time switches and will cost about 10 times as much to run and most LED lamps will cost between twice and ten times as much to run depending on their circuitry.
Sadly, a simple capacitor won't fix most electronic power factor issues. But it's a nice case and can be used as a shocker. (but with a much bigger capacitor)
You tell'em Clive
If they do it, and some people in comments claim in their country they charge reactive power, then a proper power factor saver is in order! Also I'm sure suppliers will start designing smarter to beat the competitors and save customers more money. Still I doubt it if a home power factor would be ever that awful. Imagine BCHydro starts charging surcharge if power factor drops by 10% for industries, so homes should be in much better shape.
Totally, and new meters can even neatly sum up kVAr!
I kinda expect them to read out the data, just to find the problem users.
But I have seen no indication that they plan to charge based on it.
As far as I have been able to find out, there are switched capacitor banks around in the grid to deal with that stuff. Basically a no big deal, unless taken to extremes.
They won't charge me anything because I ran an extension cord from your garden.

It took years to convince my dad that his magical power saver wasn't doing anything. Eventually the cheap capacitor within the unit failed and the entire box became quite hot, drawing who knows how much power. Luckily it was in a decent aluminum enclosure.
I wonder if they used a class x capacitor? Think they are designed to fail short circuit and trip the breaker.

@@Pcat0 It's quite important when it comes to how much they're charging their costumers. But, yes it would seem that most people aren't aware of the existence of apparent power.

really makes me think that he doesnt even know what he's doing lol
You make my blood pressure spike, real blood pressure, not active blood pressure. Thanks, great as always.
But do you age on active pressure or reactive pressure?
One of my biggest hurdles when learning anything dealing with electricity is the fear of shorting stuff. It's helpful that you do it on purpose to demonstrate that its not that big of a deal if you understand what's happening
bruh
Less voltage means more load and more amperes.
So capacitor job is to just store the voltage with current and to give an initial kick start to any motor, for tubelight it's the choke. So capacitor has nothing to do with the electric bill reducing.

This video is EVERYTHING. It's nice to see someone on CZcams who has a basic understanding of electricity! Scammers beware.
I think having Masters on Electrical Engineering no longer counts as basic.
Power factor is a real problem... when ur running something like an industrial arc furnace or huge electric motors. Have never seen any non commercial entity get dinged by an electric company.
Both technically accurate, and delightfully entertaining. Thank you Sir!
Shit, I was like is he really going to put that capacitor on the mains, and he did.
Anyone that says "I was like" can't be taken seriously. As can no one that understands what he does.

@@mfx1 your smugness is as unwarranted as your comment is unedgy.
The OP used it as an adverb in a colloquial fashion....because they are speaking colloquially. Try harder though. Maybe somebody will be impressed with your nonsense....?
...also "as can no one"? Ah-phhht.
@@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879 youre also being pretty smug, and nobody is impressed by your knowledge of words. And using "as can no one" how he used it is fine. "You can't be trusted, as can no one that believes you" all it is, is reference to the former statement, "you cant be trusted". But im probably wrong and cant be bothered to look up if I'm right, I was just saying what first came to my 2 brain cells 👌

Mehdi, You are an awesome knowledgeable engineer/teacher and a funny showman. Thank you for your wonderful work!!!
"incase you're deaf and can't see the plug in the wall" lol words are hard
Sure, this power saver was a scam but it’s still not as big of a scam as Soulja Boy’s game console was
Scam?
The console was somewhat better than that paul and ricegum gambling site though
Stfu it’s no scam buy one for every plug unplug everything elce and done
Here in germany, even thinking about that something like that would save you money is just a nothing. There are tools there you can see how much energy your device use. But i never heard of an Energy saving something like in this video. I am glad we have some consumer protection in the EU.
Soulja boys products are like a steal, you pay almost nothing for what they give you.

Have you watch the video where he make the whole hotel dark?

Love the video and thanks for the information! 🙂
Hello mateys! I hope you didn't bother buying a power saver! If you have questions and ideas, you can post them to ElectroBOOM subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/ElectroBOOM
Something more importnat that you forgot to mention is that most appliancies nowdays use switch mode power supplies and because of the way they work the current they consume is not a sine wave (or same shape with voltage) and this creates another kind of reactive power and its called "Deformed Power". Adding a capacitor to the power lines doesnt do any saving, instead it actualy makes the shape of current worse and increases reactive power!!! It might was doing something in the older days with linear supplies but you don't pay reactive power at all so its useless!!!!!!!!!
Most of the power banks which use to charge phones seems to consume power (very small amount but still does)even though the power bank is not connected to the phone. Mainly may be because of the IC that consumes continues power that waits for the user to push that button , I don't have enough equipment to check that out . Can You help me out ? And can we prevent that ? I am intending to make a big power bank. Also 18650 batteries parallel to each other charges each other if ones voltage is lower than the other . Can we prevent that as well ?

Express vpn is the same as orbot (tor) , but orbot is free. Just in case you dont want to pay for an already secure internet connection (since all the important pages uses httpS what is really secure compared to these 'vpn' servers).
Why do you need sponsors if you have patreon??? Or why dont you chose a sponsor in connection with your chanell like keysight?
Isn't the youtube advertisement and the patreon enough?
@@the_danksmith134 the non linearity of the charge caused by the non reactive components in the switch mode power supplies creates a harmonic currents, which in turns running through the impedances of the power supply distorts the power supply's sin wave . now the harmonic currents is the problem you are talking about(along with the low power factor ),to solve this problem we can either use reactive pfc (configurations of L and C filters ) or in high power we can use active pfc (many structures are there like boost/buck converter)

Thanks for the heads up. Love your videos! You are very smart and very funny. On to the next!
Informative AND entertaining ... thank you.
Can you make a video about your trip to China? I'd love to see more of your travels.
Still have to edit that video for mehditation
ElectroBOOM yes that would be nice. It’s almost been a year mr. 😠 jk sir take your time
@ElectroBOOM WOW！I heard that you have a lot of Chinese fans too!

i did not get it either
Can someone explain plz I feel left out :(
Thank you, this saved me money. why does Amazon still list these obvious scams?
The only way a capacitor could help save electricity is a large array to store it for when there's power failure elsewhere. But as it isn't going to produce A/C without a power inverter, it's practically useless to explore for the time being
