  • Join the science discord! / discord I was curious what would happen if you plugged in a subwoofer so thats how this video was born. Then I plug in a hotdog, electrify a can of shaving cream, tickle a pickle (with 120 volts), and show you my new method of rapid plasma assisted material removal on a can of lighter fluid.

    I've shocked myself dozens of times. My dad was an HVAC guy, and he taught me alot of stuff when I was a kid, but electrical was what I liked the most. So I'd always be wiring things up with spare parts in the garage. I was always careful, but I was also 10 years old, so mistakes were inevitably made. The best one though was when I unplugged the dryer and plugged it back in just for fun. My finger was touching a prong and that was the only 240v shock I've ever had. It was pretty wild. My whole arm was vibrating for about an hour.

    Those extension cords he made are also referred to as suicide cords because it’s two male ends.

Each year I had to explain that no such thing exist because it’s extremely dangerous.

      How did they envision it being useful is my question. The lights all use a plug anyway, and a power strip should always come with it's own plug, too, so unless they just had a power strip that lost it's plug lying around and got a genious idea to power it using male-to-male connector, I really don't understand it

      The rubber shoes are enough to insulate him from the earth, so there's no path there for the live voltage to run through. Only from live to neutral, so he'd have to touch both prongs at once, as he said.

      well actually his science is flawed if that was 220V he will be shocked even if he is wearing boots since it creates a capacitor between his body and ground and current will pass through same applies to 110V but it is weak you won't feel it. you wont get shocked even with 1000v if you touch the neutral to the can before the live wire electrity will flow thomrough the path of least resistance neglecting the body.
      in short if that 220V and he touched the live he will be shocked even with shoes some people are sensitive to 110V too

    Back in the 80's, I used to work on huge UHF television transmitters. So big, you literally walk around inside the circuit. There are a series of keys to get inside. First, you turn off the main switch, which opens a little sliding door with a lock inside, with a key in it. You cannot take the key out until you turn the lock, which locks the sliding door over the switch so no one can get to it, and then you can pull the key out. You take that key across the room and it lets you turn off the cooling fans and other auxillary equipment, trapping the first key and revealing another. There are like three or four more keys in all, the last of which turns off the main power breakers, and gives you the key that opens the transmitter "cabinet" door so you can go inside. In there are capacitors the size of suitcases, and inductors the size of trashcans, and a certain giant vacuum tube (called a klystron) the size of a refrigerator, surrounded by magnetic coils the size of truck tires. There are four klystrons: two for the video carrier, one for audio, and one for standby.
    When you open the door, hanging right in the center of the doorway is a 3ft long fiberglass stick with copper ball on the end. We called it the "thunder stick". Its hanging in the center of the door so that you can not walk through without either picking it up, or dodging it. You take that stick (by the fiberglass insulator) and go around touching the copper ball to certain points to make sure they are not live nor have any residual charge left on them.
    I did this every time I entered for like five years, and nothing ever happened, so I go used to the routine. Then one day when you least expect it....KAPOW!!! ...and I found myself sitting on my arse with ears ringing, acrid smoke curling in the air, a bright after-image in my eyesight, unable to say anything except "God damn!" I had to take a long break and doublecheck everything before I would go back in there. Those big capacitors have bleeder resistors that drain the charge off of them (by the time you finaly go through all those keys to get in). Except this time, the bleeder resistor had failed, and the cap still had a full charge on it. "Thank God for the Thunder Stick!"
    As an electronics tech, i rarely ever shocked myself, but I had things blow up in my face many times. Im glad that time the thunder stick took it, because that one most likely would have been fatal. I do not miss working on big powerful transmitters. Dangerous as hell.
