At about 8:20 you had the cable going through the transformer and It looks like you could easily pass it through at least one more transformer. So I’m wonder what would happen if you did? Would the voltage double like having a second turn? If so the draw for each primary would be reduced right? Maybe you could chain a bunch of them to get to the million amps.
Cody slab in the wild
Yes he could and that's what many builders do when making a DIY arc welder. It will double the voltage as it will make the part of wire trough the new transformer act as a new voltage source in series. To increase the current you reduce the number of turns trough each transformer.
last time i check, this guy was on Mar? What ISP do you use Cody ?

Hey, Mehdi, you should cover "electromagnetic field welding" EMW. They use a high power magnetic field to slap metals together so fast they weld. There's very little coverage of it. But it's cool enough to share!
Cool. Never heard of it before. FYI "Magnetic pulse welding" gave better google results.
@@soupisgoodfood42 Supposedly it works by charging large capacitor banks and dumping them in an EM coil. The resulting field is so ridiculously powerful, the metal is accelerated to supersonic speeds (i.e. mach 1) and causes even dissimilar materials to weld. There's obviously some disadvantages like embrittlement but it's still the tits!
Sounds like high frequency welder
@@dimitar4y, it seems like ultrasonic welding achieves the same results, while being an efficient, established technology.
They used to use explosives to do this (probably still do) with large sheets of metals in order to make otherwise impossible composite laminates. Search 'explosion welding'
I love that you are doing the derivations on the whiteboard while you are talking - extremely helpful!

how come he was able to touch the spoon without being electrocuted
@@stewbaka4279 I'm no expert but i'm guessing there was no path for the current to enter his body, so it only went from the copper wire, through the spoon, back to the copper wire. I'm assuming electroboom is sitting on something insulated, so there couldn't be a path for any current to go through his hand and out his body.
@stewbaka4279 the voltage across those wires was 2 to 3 volts approximately, and we know that the human body has a very high resistance (Megaohm range I believe), so basically negligible current thru Mehdi
as a non electrical engineer that dropped out of highschool, this just leaves more unexplained than it explains.
reflected impedances, transformer turns ratio, jacobs law, source to load resistance ratios, load matching...
just a quick perusal of the comments show how badly people understand ANY of this.
but dont you worry, as an EE, you have a career of doing the same old same old ahead of you. you will forever be too busy to actually think about what is actually going on in there, where we cant see, smell, taste, touch, or otherwise interact... but just rely on theory.

Thanks Medhi for inspiring me to go to Electrical School and become an apprentice. I feel your pain trying to bend 3/0 (three-ought) wire. Now that I have started school, I am actually starting to understand the equations you lay out in your videos. Thanks for being an inspiration to me, and for many people in the comments, stay safe and keep up the awesome work.
12:40 He's such a generous god.
Its not that hard to bend if you're using the right kind of 000 as not all 000 is the same.
Thes tuff he's using is mains gauge wire as made obvious by the thiccc strands, automotive 000 has a finer core makeup and weldflex even more so whilst still haveing the ability to carry the same current but being more flexible. In saying that the stuff he has would be 10x cheaper than weldflex so it makes sense why he went with it.

I am going to an Energy Tech class in high school currently so not only are these videos super helpful and entertaining, but I am so proud of the fact that I know exactly what he’s talking about
I have also made a high current microwave oven transformer (MOT) with 2/0 THHN wire and compression lugs, with the lugs shorted with some thick ground braid I was able to reach 2023 amps, measured with my HVA-2000 I got on sale a while back. I too wanted to save the secondary, so I cut the welds. I currently use trigger clamps to hold it together but I have designed a threaded rod and unistrut clamp thing to hold it together better. I also might upgrade to 3/0 XHHW and NEMA 2-hole pad copper compression lugs. It's a fun project to burn, test, and destroy various things, and having access to very high currents without the need for large quantities of power is nice. The output voltage of mine is 1.87vrms.
Jesus, Jaiden. Dont burn your house.

It's hard to explain, but I have no clue what he is explaining, but I can't stop watching. I guess it's the delivery and the humor he uses. Maybe it's that slight anticipation that he is going to shock the hell out of himself. Finally, it's that mad scientist that he exemplifies. Regardless, this guy is a gem!
When my physics teacher showed us this experiment, he actually used multiple smaller wires in parallel as his secondary, which apparently made building this a whole lot easier.
So you're saying (if I remember correctly from school that was WAY WAY long time ago), that if u have, let's say, 3 thinner wires, all the same length (let's say 1m) and you make them each at 2 turns (as Medhi has it in the end) and connect the ends together, you will get 3 times the voltage but all at the same amperage (since they're in parallel)? Do I remember it correctly?
This is not necessary a technical question, but more of a curiosity to know if I remember stuff correctly.
@@Ygr3ku No, you actually get the same voltage and current, but the current is split between the multiple smaller coils. The only real difference is that multiple smaller wires are more easy to bend than one large wire.
@@OleJanssen Oh, I see. So it's not like having 3 parallel wires to multiply the voltage, because all those loops "feed" from the same transformer.
And if I understand it right, in order to have more voltage, you'll need another transformer that feeds the same loops.
Did I get it right this time? :D (hopefully)
Also, ty for the explanation, it made me remember some school lessons!
@@Ygr3ku No, the voltage is never increased if the windings of any transformer are connected in parallel. In order to do that, they would have to be connected in series. When doing that, one would basically turn for example three coils with two turns into one coil with 6 turns. However, having them in series also means that the current is no longer split between the coils, so all the current has to flow through all the coils. In this case, a system like that would probably go up in smoke and flames pretty quickly.
@@OleJanssen I think I've explained it badly. Imagine 1 transformer, 3 wires, all separated, each with 2 coils, with ends connected to eachother (technically 3 parallel connected)
Now, what I've meant to say, was to make those coils larger and in that extra space include another transformer, feeding the same loops that transformer 1 feeds. Will that increase current or voltage?
This inspires me to do electronics/electrical projects of my own but at the same time I feel like that's a very very bad idea 😅
start with basic stuff, about 10 years I started by making "DIY" guitar effects pedals and fixing simple electronic devices, I learned a lot about basic electronics and soldering techniques, 2 years later I had to give up because I went broke and I could not afford doing more stuff, I probably would be a self-taught electronic technician by now, but life sucks.
Playing with transformers from microwaves kills a lot of inexperienced electronics hobbyists.
I had my phase of playing with electricity. Thanks mehdi 😂😂.
Start with DC voltage 12V or lower. I can not warn you enough. Get a proper education. Do a lot of research before you attempt anything else!
I have 25 years of experience and no longer mess with transformers and the likes. Make sure you are safe, always!
@@gtidave06 well that sure doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence haha. My late brother had a small transformer on his belongings. seems to be "off-the-shelf", if that even applies to those.

I have made one of these, and I can confirm that two turns of 0/3 AWG is the way to go. Hard to wrestle it into place, but that's kind of nice because you use the full space inside the transformer with minimal turns to keep the amps high
I use 0 to 4/0 awg wire for car audio. The cables are a bit more expensive, but they are much more flexible than any welding cable and are over sized. If you need more flexible OFC check out knukoncepts. They have the highest amperage capacity and flexibility in the industry. Careful though, they sell both CCA and OFC so make sure you get the right one.
I have one with 0/3, but I went to local welding supply store and got flexible cable with copper lugs on the ends. Being able to bring the cables to wherever you're trying to use them instead of the other way around is nice. czcams.com/video/pD34Zv1zKq4/video.html
As a Physics 2 student (electricity and magnetism), this is the most hilarious yet informative video I have ever seen.
11:29 | IIRC most of the copper in pennies was replaced with zinc because at one point copper was so valuable that some people would melt down pennies to get more than one cent out of them.
You'd probably have to look up the history of pennies though; I _might_ be missing a step...
In Canada You can melt down pennies but in America you cannot for some dumb reason.
Wow. As someone who's been doing a lot of work with power supplies and struggling a little with getting an intuition for how inductive circuits behave, this video was amazing.
You can sit around with equations all day, but it only helps you refine an existing idea for solving a problem. It doesn't help you think outside the box - only an intuitive understanding can do that. You've completely re-written my intuitions for the relationship between magnetic flux and current, and it's already got me thinking about how to design the power supply I'm working on.
Awesome as always. Thanks so much Mehdi!

2:53 , mehdi's laugh of evil electricity
I did 2 turns of 2/0 gauge nickel clad copper with crimped lugs on the ends and got 1.8v @ 1900A with the lugs bolted. I used switch gear wire with hundreds of strands so it would be very flexible, but large car audio wire would also work well. It would trip a 20A breaker after about 5 seconds, so ended up powering it with a 30A breaker and 10 gauge. Eventually made a contact welder with it using an interval timer and a large solid state relay (on the primary side obviously).

for anyone wondering , if he anyway wanted 2.2v or low voltage anyways then why not use normal power source cell then answer is cell have internal resistanc of around 1 ohm for normal 1.5v battery so even for pure conductor with no resistance it will draw max of 1 Amp. thats why it was necessary for him to make his own stepdown transformer .
you've just done a very useful thing, with the help of it you can do spot welding of small metal parts. For example welding the battery contacts together connections in parallel or in series to create a more powerful battery. very cool thing
