1:43 Trying to Drive the Tesla Coil Magic Wand for 12 minutes! - Věda a technologie
Mehdi. You don't need a magician's wand. You need a WIZARD'S STAFF!!!!!
we call it a Mehdi Plug
Well he an electrical engineer, which means all the astrophysicists and doctors are basically their Minions. I think he was partially joking.
Harry Potter: Expeliarmus!
Electroboom: Expect Shockus!!
If he makes a staff next... HOLY CRAP... It will be the video of the year EASILY. 🤣
@@FatherLamb that would be awesome
You really took your practical humor to the next level - those dramatic pauses for composure were priceless 😂
Yeah, that was pretty nice.
I had not expected these changes, but they're very welcome, as the gags became a bit predictable after some years, hah.
11:51 well, I found my new cellphone wallpaper.
... fake...
why would you say that tho?
@@SoundYT
3:05 this was the moment 😂😂😂
Are you saying youtubers don't always succeed right away?
You mean you can share a video of not getting everything you want from a project, just for us to learn from it?
What a novel idea! (Thanks Mehdi!)
Bro, it came out 5 minutes ago... You are The First...
@@Ziorno_ZiowannaCZcams members and supporters get access early to new videos
@@Ziorno_Ziowanna Some videos are published early for Patrons.
It's nice to know how the sausage gets made. Too many post something cool+epic and leave out the long ordeal and learning experiences (re: failures) needed to get there.
2:09 I really like this moment. That pure joy in his face and voice when he sees the florescent light bulb shines shortly before going "OH FU-" towards his Tesla Coil magic wand burning, it's just brilliant
Which video is it?
@@TUSIP his original wand video
@@TUSIPMaking a Tesla Coil Wand, to Celebrate 5 MILLION SUBS
See the capacitor are so
It makes sense that the tf2 engi would watch mehdi
If only my electrical engineering teacher got shocked this much, I would've learned SO MUCH MORE.
It's your secret
You blow up capacitors intensionally for creating the humor😂😂
Your ham radio neighbors probably love you
😂
They should have picked a different hobby anyway!
@@ElectroBOOM OY! THATS MEAN!!!! but yea i should've
@@ElectroBOOM amateur radio is a fantastic hobby. I really don't understand why more EEs don't get into it. I think it'll be interesting to watch you or Dave Jones or even big Clive get into it a little bit.
I still don't understand what amateur radio people do! I should do more research on it. But it feels like they just have their own chat space!
Some of these moments gave me "I'm getting too old for this sh*t" vibes
Let's cherish Mehdi
All he's done for us
All he has teached us
He'll resonate throughout history
Love this guy
Take care, Mehdi
You make it sound like Mehdi is on his deathbed lmao
@@awwman6138it definitely seems like he's trying occasionally lmao
@@marshaenderheartfair enough lol
No matter what, designing circuits (especially like this one) is hard.
He's not going to resonate through history with 1.3mh. He's going to need a whole lot more turns first!
Medhi! The ferrite cores would be saturating, causing the inductance to drop substantially, pushing the circuit out of resonance. After removing the cores it's possible the skin effect is another limiting factor, as well as the obvious limited coupling. Remember the peak currents going through the primary is probably in the hundreds of amps or more, and losses are relative to amps squared, so Litz wire is what I'd suggest.
I'd look for a really good dielectric and wrap the primary all the way up.
Also with such a small capacitor with the ball bearing on the top, the Q of the circuit I'd expect to be wide, which is good for experimentation, but not great for efficiency.
That's was what I thought, but i don't have a master's degree in engineering so idk
7:50 this is why i love his videos
there are 1000++ video talking the same staff but he do in his own style
He will never fail to entertain us in a funniest and painful way as possible. 😂
Mehdi screaming like a little girl....entertainment that never gets old.
The little "electric guitar" is still funny af to this day
Lets hope he will not get an heart attack with his magic shocks one day :/
I can picture him yelling "You shall not pass!!" 😆
Mehdi calling 'making a big tesla coil', 'rolling a fat one', is exactly what i needed in my life
I busted out laughing at that 😂
I replayed it several times 🤣💀
For real
Nobody say anything! there are young ears.... but we all know ;)
Yup
3:25 the dart of 2013's video "HOW TO MAKE A SAFE AND REUSABLE FIRECRACKER", i like this nostalgic video👍
Still loving your vids after all these years. Good Job.
11:44 cracked me up XD
THATS WHAT MORE ENERGY GETS YOU!
9:43 LOL I love that Mehdi’s standard measurement of how well this type of stuff is working has become “how much does it hurt and how does it hurt?” 😂
I wonder how much your electricity bill is 💀
Thanks for the chapters, it's awesome when one chapter is 90 % of the video.
Never change, man. The no cuts capacitor safety lesson... I was rolling. Oh dear god you are priceless.
9:48 - That's some beautiful purple corona discharge!

I'm so glad your still posting after what 10 + years pretty crazy dude I had to take a break from CZcams for a long while and that made me forget to check up on you after I came back
Thank you for teaching ElectroBoom. Thank u so much
9:32 mehdi discovers infinite energy
3:30
So much information in the last 30seconds it's crazy
I have NO idea what medhi is talking abt, but i love it.
I love how Mehdi turns a project failure into a successful youtube video
Never a mehdi video without him shocking himself 😂😂😂
This is the way
Like a Sarkissian always burning himself.
3:04 this following sequence makes me laugh a lot 😂
Very nice videos all the time.
Please just make a raw intuitive 2D sketch of the magnetic field of the primary and see how small the coupling is with the thin secondary. At that point you can make the improvement.
A wide secondary and a wider primary around makes a good coupling. The primary needs some distance, so it is wider and it needs distance from the high voltage top so it is at the bottom.
Mehdi is the only guy who can consistently let electrons flow where electron shouldn't be
3:00 - and onward. This whole sequence. I never can tell if it's on purpose or not... or not on purpose on purpose... Mehdi, you're just too good. :D
And also, sage advice indeed. Discharge before handling, kids!
I’m nearly 100% certain that 90% of the time it’s on purpose
@@sczoot6285 Hah, yeah, he has the sound effect and visual effects, plus he knows very well how to cause these shocks, so i am pretty sure that almost all recorded shocks are on purpose.
Maybe a couple sneaked in here and there, but you still can't fake the reflex from getting a shock unless you're purposely try not to move or make a sound.
So it still looks genuine, but given his experience, they SHOULD be staged, otherwise he does have serious safety issues haha
Back when he was being tortured by Saddam Hussein goons, he learned he could handle shocks quite well.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it 😂
Heh
If he didn't plan the shocks, one of them would kill him lol
He's a very good entertainer/educator hybrid.
@@Games_and_Musiches said himself that he does all of it on purpose😂
3:24 he still have these darts from 9 years ago
hello sir i am from india sir i have been watching your videos for past few months, i don't understand much english but i learned a lot from your videos.
I've really missed this style of video. Glad to see a new one!
12:25 "I might as well just roll a fat one..."
Medhi is truly Canadian.
3:15 when u come back to life just to die again
As a brazilian fan of yours, im really happy for those subtitles and dub. Hugs from sao paulo, brazil
Your temerity and audacity to give those hazardous experiments are hugely sensational and mesmerizing! I wish I had had such interest and curiosity to strike pushing my heart and soul to explore the unknown areas of interest.
1:45 the same method is used to trigger xenon strobe tubes in a simple strobe circuit. A capacitor is connected in parallel with a neon tube (in place of the spark gap). Once the capacitor builds up enough voltage (around 70 volts) the neon tube turns on and conducts, sending power through the primary, which induces power in the secondary, which then generates the kilovolts required to fire the xenon tube. Magic!

@BLEEMORALEST Oh no, heaven forbid people earn money while you get to watch their videos for absolutely free!
@BLEEMORALEST lol
Series, not parallel.
6:06 man that got me thinking about what else is in mehdi's garbage
2:55 !!!!! LOL .... that was funny
I really like these videos, the fails, the successes and the experimentation. It's lovely.
I really needed this video today. I just got into electronics, and I am completely stuck on my current project. It's nice to see that other people, who know what they are talking about, still hit a wall with their projects.
At 06:54 I thought of a arcing adult toy lol.. I hate my mind 🤣
Haha me too i want to die
I love your videos man! Keep up the good work and mainly stay safe ❤️❤️
1:55 epic thumbnail sir I love his humor it fits so perfectly with his work ❤
Hey Mehdi, I think this might work better with polypropylene foil capacitors. Cheaper dielectrics have slight losses and since you're running high currents millions of times a second this could be damping your oscillations. Most ceramic capacitors are especially bad because they also change capacitance with applied voltage, being as far from an ideal capacitor as you can find.
I think his frequency is too high, years ago I built a few and in my research most everyone in the building community said to keep them below 300khz. Beyond that and you get a spikey carona no matter how much power you drive it with. Couldn't tell you why bc most of the info on this subject is empirical.

Mehdi, you're awesome. Please don't ever change.
You've still got it. Never change, man.
3:10 Excellent choreography. It looks like chaos, but that was a master of taking shocks at work. Oh and it was funny too!
You could use eGaN FETs as a solid state driver for the magic wand. They are really small, and can operate at freqs over 10 MHz as long as you don't use high voltage on primary winding (les than 500 V). Infineon and GaN Systems makes some reliable transistors. If voltage is under 200V, you could also use EPC GaN power transisitors, they are also pretty fast with great current capabilities.
Integrated drivers such as LMG1020 (single output), or LMG1210 (half bridge driver) from Texas instruments can help to drive the circuit
You might also be able to increase the inductance by putting more windings on the secondary, so stacking 2 or 3 windings. The capacitance of the coil will also increase, so I'm not sure it will work.
If Infineon doesn’t make a semiconductor that’ll work for something chances are no one does haha 😁
I’m in the process of building an amp that uses all Infineon semiconductors. 400-pound class G water cooler beast. 25kW x2 into 4 ohms. 16 of their most massive trench field stop IGBTs for the output stages.
Srry just hearing Infineon made my brain tickle haha
Thank you so much for fullfilling my wish to finally see this thing in action again! :D
THE LEGEND HAS HIT 6 MILLION!
1:54, Mehdi starts to melt!
Go for magic Staff. You can also customize capacitor part as a Staff ornament.
3:40 oh my god I haven’t laughed so hard in my life. You’re a comedic genius man.
The more I watch these videos the more I understand how the individual components of an aircraft’s magnetos works. I’m impressed at how old the tech is and how long ago someone figured out how to put all of these components together.
You are a great person. I had learned a lot about electeonics because of you. Thank you
3:35 that sentence reminded me of the Epic ESD video.
Thank you alot, m8 you gave me allways so many amusement the last years. Iam happy u still going on. :D
3:20 I was expecting that 😂
09:05 that's what she said
Damn
always love to see an upload
Fun learning with you on this project! :D
I subscribed to your channel a long time ago, but I’ve never received a notification about you. I found you in a short, and it turned the bell on. CZcams can be personal. They go for people individually a lot.
Even failures are informative. Keep them coming, Mehdi! I second Sypernova6969's suggestion of a staff rather than a wand. Imagine how many DC batteries you could hide in a wizard's staff!
using a different core can drastically change the inductance of the secondary winding, it might be worthwhile to investigate other materials
I was considering this suggestion also.
Ferite cores: I know from making speaker crossovers that air coils have a way faster charge and release time than inductors with a core, so removing the ferrite cores would massively reduce the time domain of the coil. Also, maybe having separate ferrite beads means there is a complex inter-circuit inductance thing going on? Like chokes have a gap in the inductor. Just thinkiing aloud, thought I'd mention it! :o)
The look of disappointment of Mehdi's face was priceless. Then the decision to keep filming and just say it again just to be shocked again. Thats art right there.
5:39 For anyone wandering that is just reflection in power supply screen
Electroboom never dissapoints
You're the most amazing electrician I know. 😁 All your videos different, but with same happiness. 🎉
It's really all about the resonance. You've got those fancy oscilloscopes so you should be able to characterize the primary and secondary for tuning.
Intentional or not, you are a genius at physical comedy 😂
Jim Carrey would be proud...
"Let me show you something!"
2:40
I like the scene with the solder fumes going directly into your face...we all talk about ventilation but I know damn well there's been cases people here have just said "eff it" and got the job done without it. We all do it.
I do it sometimes but i hold in my breath and wait for the fumes to go, then i start to breath again. But recently i bought a fan and some filter to do it
I dont understand any of electrical voltages and current concepts but also love medis videos and watch every video even thought it passes throug my head great aprreciation medi
That was an amazing idea. My secondary had resonant frequency of almost 6Mhz and after a week of experiments, I managed to fit everything inside a handle and now it works and looks just like a wand.

I agree with the Idea of converting it to a "wizard staff"!
Or maybe a bit more difficult.., a Gaunlet?
Super educational Mahdi. Schools and books seldom show how things are done to detail or the shortcomings one might find. So big thank you. Crazy thing Tesla did not have epoxy, oscilloscopes. not even wall outlets, they d got to invent it.
