Most of his "accidents" were planned... one notable exception is when the Jacob's Ladder fell on him. What he said afterwards was true. If he hadn't shorted the sparklers when he grabbed it, and hadn't had used thin wires which acted like a fuse, he could have died. He said as much in a post on Reddit..
You really think he didn’t realize it would be asinine to put a potentially lethal setup on such a flimsy base? Instead of, say, screwing everything onto a heavy plate and putting a piece of plexiglass between himself and the ladder? He’s not stupid so I’m pretty sure that all was planned.
Apparently the Jacobs Ladder falling on him was not intentional and nearly actually killed him. The only reason it didn't was due to poor mounting of his cables.
As a child I've been shocked a few times. Both on 220v (wall outlet - that stings), but also by capacitors (I picked apart a camera once, with a built in flash, you know, juicy capacitor - but I forgot to discharge it and whammy! I was taught a lesson on importance of discharging capacitors. It felt like my finger became a magnet, and was drawn to the capacitor, I had no control in my finger. Had two nice holes in my skin afterwards though). A few years back I had a coffee chat with two guys who had worked as electricians since the 80's. One of them explained that when he was an apprentice he was working on power lines inside a home with his mentor. His mentor got a nice shock, since they had apparently fotgotten to cut the power before working. The mentor was fine, but a took a break while the apprentice went on working. After some time he went out to the house's stairs, where the mentor was sitting, having a smoke. He was out, cold. He became tired, took a break, and that was it. Today they (electricians and others who work with power wires/lines) are super "religious" about having their hearts checked if they get a shock, here in Norway. Because you don't feel it if your heart has any problems after a shock, you just feel tired.
Those capacitors are silent zappers 💥 It’s definitely a good idea to go straight to the DOCS after an electric ⚡️ shock. We have a very similar attitude here. At least in my industry
When I was younger I disassembled a microwave and I was looking at the turntable motor, I thought since it wasnt connected nothing would be able to happen, I held it in one hand a turned it with the other, the two terminals just happened to be touching the holding hand. My hand spasmed and it was a very strange feeling, I measured it afterwards, turning the motor at that speed produced around 600 V AC which definitely taught me a lesson about motors being generators and what those voltages can do.
The way his hands shake after the ladder fell on him is upsetting. I was working in a cramped basement in the midwest USA. Basically a glorified crawl space. I stood up too quickly and shattered an old incandescent bulb with my head. Apart from the actual shock the adrenaline from a near death experience can really shake you. I'm lucky my scalp was dry, I was wearing rubber boots, and I have lots of hair. Fucking horrid. I've got other stories but that was the one time I almost actually went to the hospital.
Man the video of him catching the giant Jacobs ladder falling on him still makes me recoil in terror, mainly because A: i've had more than enough shocks in my life to know the unpleasant feeling of it. B: knowing he was using a high power transformer as well which is 'how to defeat an rcd with one component' :[[
I was shocked in terror because that definitely did not look intentional or prepared. He was in full contact with 2kV leads at ~200mA which can completely throw your heart off and kill you. I played with a Jacobs Ladder MOT in my room once too, and I was using reverse dead-man's switches to turn it on (same switches from microwave doors), and had my finger just barely ready to slip off the switch to quickly shut it off the moment I noticed anything wrong. Scary stuff
@@daddy7860That's a really smart way of doing that. Also, that's still a dead man's switch, you would still end up turning off the power by not pressing the switch if you got shocked.
It's a miracle he survived that. When I was a bit younger, I decided to repair a device by myself... It didn't go all that well. I fixed it, so I went to plug it in... Without the plastic cover it had. I tried to pick it up while it was plugged in with both hand aaaaand that's when I got shocked. According to the people there it was for quite some time, but I'm not sure if I can believe that I survived being zapped for that long (unless I'm superhuman?). Thankfully it only caused me extreme pain and nothing else. I did burn a good chunk of my left thumb tho, I basically have no fingerprint.
Humanity is wild. "Hey. I made this thing. It is super dangerous and hurts pretty much no matter how you interact with it." "Dope. Let's use if for everything."
I made these things in HVAC/R school. We used oil burner transformers witch put out 25,000 volts, witch give them much more heat to make ark rise faster. with only 20,000 volts the ark dose not rise like we see in this video . Oil burner transformer work muck better then microwave ones. Oil ones can handle a bigger load.
yee i dont like it when your hand does not open anymore... i remember 20 years ago when i had router inside PC what i needed to took out i took power off from PC but forgot router was directly connected to phone line.. I took hold of the circuit and pain started right away and it went worst all the time when time passed my hand gripped tightly and I couldn't let go..... at the end i kick myself out from that shit didin't knew wtf was happening :D
Wow, this really is quite entertaining 😂😂 i would recommend the heated seat video next its a bit newer and he literally cooks his pants with a red glowing wire 🤣🤣🤣
hey dude , its me AGAIN 😈(🤣😂). ANYways , so how about you do the same build alongside mehdi and then explain us what's really going on / how to stop frying yourself like mehdi but without any insulating material ? that would be REALLY cool. thanks a lot man ! Great Video BTW, your laugh is much more infectious than Corona
Alas for Electro Boom his type of slap stick humor grows old very quickly. Also if you have seen one arc, you have seen them all... I find Styro the better showman
Hi pal. You’ve got a new sub. I did an response video to electro boom but I bet he didn’t even look lol. We should chat and try something extravagant. With my bravery and your intuition it could be good.
Dont care much for the react channels, but more indebt how he takes the deadly high voltage high amperage shocks and walks away would be nice.. so some idiot does not repeat it thinking hey electroboom survived it no issue, so should i and goes to grab powerline.
At 3:30 you said the current went across his finger tips if i understood you right. Thats actually not true i think, because between his finger tips would be the same electric potential. The current went through his body because it is AC and high Voltage there is capacity between him and the circuit.
Yes this is crazy funny when the sparklers come out.i honestly dont know how this guy gets away with contact to microwave transformer.he doesnt leave a good impression for just how dangerous microwave transformers are.all safety aside he is crazy funny.after the crazy stops he needs to come down to earth and say,these transformers will end your existance if not respected.all laughs aside.
As i clicked on this video, youtube officially swapped to the new, disgusting "streamlined" new design.. For a moment there I thought I was on storyfire..
I can't think of a better instructional for electricians or anyone curious about electromagnetism. Finland is #1 in education because they make learning FUN!! The serious Sallys and killjoy Karens need to get out of and stay the fuck away from education. This guy is teaching people extremely complex physics in SECONDS which would take traditional methods years.
If Electroboom doesn't show up in these comments, we can assume he got fried.

@@conorstewart2214 bullshit. You would had to spin it at unhuman speeds.
Drawn to a capacitor? You just get 1 shock and it's empty. Grabbing on to a rail that's live is another story.

Please don't bridge the gap,
You know, there was a time when Mehdi/Electroboom tried different ways to remove facial hair. He also tried using the taser...
Bro Almost Gone To heaven With his own Jacob Ladder 👑👍
Funny thing is Medhi (Electo Boom) is Really highly qualified in this stuff lol

So happy the model put this back up on the suggestions
Your face when you first saw his setup was hilarious 😂
He actually got hurt there its the one time he’s legit hurt himself
I know right it must hurt
5:54 grabbing both of the sparklers!!!
Both classic stupidity & life threatening hilarious.
Laugh out loud.
So this was in my recommendations, prepare to hit the algorithm bro
Great vid

😂 great video. Have you thought about trying to build or demonstrate something electroboom has down ie the non-life threatening way
Haha yep I have, any suggestions?
most of what he does is safe/staged. its done in a way to show how dangerous it can be and as a cautionary tale/comedic entertainment.
he def know whar hes doing, this is just a show
