Yeah the plasma in CFLs and fluorescent lights can draw as much as current they can if the current is not limited, this is why they have ballasts in series for limiting the current. As you can see from take 1 to 6, they drew so much current that the MOT gets overloaded and smoke.
The fire would REALLY be spectacular if that MOT blew out while still in the oven. Guaranteed to light up the sky and really scare the hell out of the neighbors as they wait for the Fire Department to put out a burning house.
@pcblah Yea, I spent a little too much time working with this. Learned a great deal about editing though, and it's much warmer in the computer room than the garage. :-) PS I get my microwaves at Goodwill. Never pay more than $9.99 or wait for 1/2 off sale, or 1.28 sale depending on how long they have been sitting there.
If the 120 volt cord is glowing red hot, since that cord is getting power from your wall wiring, then your wall wiring would also have been glowing red hot. That is normally prevented by using a simple circuit breaker or fuse in your house's electrical panel. How did you get around that when doing these experiments? Did you bypass the fuse or circuit breaker in your house? I think that would be a major fire hazard.
+Ben Hutchinson If you watch the video "Two Vacuum Motors Burn Out" I show how I get the power. Back then It was 8 gauge wire (in the wall) from a 40 amp breaker supplying the feed. After my last upgrade I am now using 6 gauge wire in the wall with a 100 amp breaker for the feed.
There is a reason why they call it a ballast. A ballast is a large inductor with a specified impedance to limit how much current is allowed to flow in a circuit.
Good evening. Be careful with electricity anyway because it can set it on fire. To avoid any risk as much take precautions ok and thank you for your understanding
I was running on a 40 amp breaker with a power plug in the garage. The wire from the plug was much bigger than the wire I used to hook to the transformer.
You should have immerse the mot in a shoe box full of mineral to cool the transformer down and use an inductive ballast to prevent the mot from exploding
When I first ran them, they were cancelling each other out and the light did not go on at all, so I switched the primaries on one, and then they were definately in phase (that footage was edited out). I did further experements on a later date with that brand and they are so tough I gave up. One of these days soon I'll dust off the rest and try something new with them.
What a spectacular view of the transformer frying like an overcooked slab of meat on a barbecue grill! From 2:30 the transformer heated up, began to smoke, making a smoke screen and then it went ka-boom!
Salut bonsoir. Soyez prudent avec l'électricité quand même parce que ça peut y mettre le feu. Pour éviter tout risque autant prendre des précautions ok et merci de votre compréhension
Transformer: ight imma blow up
Brilliant footage.
Literally!

Fabulous !!
What a beautifull burn outs.
Thanks for showing

I am so glad to be able in my 0:05
I think it's hilarious how a MOT just combusts.
Like the capacitor rocket engine :D
I don't know much about electricity or physics... but these experiments are fun to watch
Finally the MOTs POP too :D nice videos! i never want to burn my MOT anymore
2:24 best part ever
2:40 is when that 1st transformer went.
2:39 is that complete version of the full “went”.
Niiice :)
Well worth the wait. Nice editing too!
Make a video where you burn out a CFL light
And make sure it is a spiral CFL
2:35 when people ask me how my life is going.
So you burst into flames then??

Oh no! The CFL light's burning!

Thats what happens when you put a low impedance load across a high impedance power-supply - you fuck the power-supply.. Match your impedances.
There is a reason why they call it a ballast. A ballast is a large inductor with a specified impedance to limit how much current is allowed to flow in a circuit.
wow, impressive!
Oh my god, that exploded!!!!!!!!
Bro looked like a fireworks for a second 2:40

nice burn out!
Haha that was AWESOME!
Also nice editing
That cable looks a bit flimsy for 2 MOTs. I hate it when it's the power source instead of the target that burns up.

RIP microwawe oven transformer. I always wished to have one...
That's bad ass.
How many volage for this lamp?
Doesn't the capacitor fails first when a CFL burns up
DID YOUR FIRE ALARM GO OFF!!??

Ow ow, D.A.N.G.E.R! ⚠️ Be carefull!
2:39 The moment that the transformer gave up with explosion and flames
The transformer blew up like dynamite
Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Photonicinduction has some bigger Transformers that can pop those things easily
They both left it seems
I love this video ok?
How those lightbulbs turned on in fire went they get to much heat
Ive had what happend at around 2:05 happen in one of my lamps before. Cfl bulbs do not like my lamp for some reason
How do you wire it so it doesn't trip the breaker?
I was running on a 40 amp breaker with a power plug in the garage. The wire from the plug was much bigger than the wire I used to hook to the transformer.

That dangerous electricity⚠️
Salut bonsoir. Soyez prudent avec l'électricité quand même parce que ça peut y mettre le feu. Pour éviter tout risque autant prendre des précautions ok et merci de votre compréhension
If you keep doing Mot vs CFL, those light bulbs will be on fire and they can actually spark on those Mots and cause the Electrical thing to be on fire
K lite is started glowing at 2:02
Last comment here but the transformer is exploded how did that happened?
3...2...1...EXPLOSION

Can I still cook bacon with it?
2:40 R.I.P transformer
2:41 nice ka-boooommmmmmmm
2:36 why there is fire on your lamp ? High voltage out of ballast ?
Yes, no ballast was the cause of the lamp burning out and once that happened the power started going through the electronics which started burning.
Лм9💅

1kw metal halide ballast does it quickly and with flames!!
most of the gas has leaked on the first bulb so the light is not on the bottom but glowing on the egde
don't you worry about x rays?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exploded
the bulb catching on fire, does that smoke off mercury? Where in the CFL is the mercury?
All of the mercury is inside the glass tube, so no danger there.
Isn't it ironic, they banned incandescent lights and forced people to use ones filled with MERCURY for the ENVIRONMENT!
And now they want to push NUCLEAR POWER for the ENVIRONMENT.
CFLs got their revenge and took out the MOT!
60hz?
Blowing transformer
2:39 HOLY SH*T!

Now try with a 220nF AC high voltage capacitor, the lamp must work ok without burning out the transformer.

Why??
...did you mean to burn that transformer?
I finally got both the bulbs to die so in the moment I figured I'd let it burn.
@@ElectronSpark ah. That's very fair. That smoke increased rapidly towards its end. Like the slope of air resistance and speed
At such a level of abuse, sputtering surely will be the least of your concerns...

Use a thicker power cord next time
I didn't have a lot of thick wire back then.
That stuff gets expensive and I didn't want to spend too much on my channel.
Expensive? less than a buck a foot!
At that time I didn't want to spend money on my channel, therefore *EVERYTHING* was too expensive.
