I hope Mehdi is doing alright, he hasn't posted in a while.
Oh... A thumbnail of him sticking a knife in a toaster... he's doing just fine!
@@AxxLAfriku What
@@oqocraft2661 He's just posting nonsensical comments in the hope that someone curious enough clicks on his channel and possibily watches his awful videos.
Maybe it works better than telling people to check out his channel to see what trash he's posting, possibly might help him get through spam filters.
That's what I thought too 😂🤣
@@oqocraft2661 That is the Roblox chat filter
Until he shok himself we can say he's fine😅👍🏻
201k likes. I guess that clock with a magazine of capacitors will be made, huh? 8:30
we should keep bugging him about it
207k now. We ain’t stopping until we get this alarm clock
Remind electro boom!
And so it has become reality
he made it?

This is absolutely correct. Always use a fork!

What about spoons?
Don't fork with live wires!

The LATITY series is one of my most favorite contents in this channel. Mehdi never fails to entertain me with his "SHOCKING" discovery and knowledge
Nice pun lol
Engineer Gaming with that Shocking pun
Okay, i'll leave.
Engineer gaming
Of course you like it your the engineer after all, lol.
Agreed. I always sing along like I'm watching a kids show.
I love how he pretty much says “wow, that is so dangerous, let’s do it.”
There is 200k likes, where is the Alarmklok
Mehdi: "The worst thing you can do is if you grab a knife with no plastic insulation [...] you might get a shock"
Also Mehdi: *holds knife by the blade and violently waves it around*
It's possible to hold a sword by its blade, a kitchen knife isn't any harder. Lookup "half-swording".
@@md_vandenberg c'mon dude, I'm a late 30s single male commenting on a youtube video from an electrical engineer. Of course I've heard of half-swording. This look like any half-swording you've seen before?

😂😂💀
200k achieved ! Please make the exploding capacitor alarm clock! 😅💥
6:00 fun fact, that gas is not salt-based but a mixture of H2 and O2, a process called electrolysis (I think). The salts there just to let current flow because pure water is a poor conductor. It's cool for making fuels :D
It's hydrogen and chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide remains in solution
That transition from him sticking a knife into the toaster to the other guys when it blew up was really smooth
yeah fr
That guy was from a channel rackaracka I think
Well although its fake im not putting anything other than bread in my 1930s toaster it would probably explode like a nuke.
@@chlorophyll6154 yeah rackaracka

3:54 Tyler1 in an electroboom video. Never thought I'd see that
1:18 interesting thing I remember seeing is TKOR tried this (the knife was attached to a long stick and a grounding wire for safety, rather than in anyone's hand directly) and the knife seemed to form a very weak "weld" with the heating element and stuck slightly (weld probably isn't the right word, but its the best one I can think of right now)
0:56 can i just stick a fork in?
same as knife dangerous
@@mariavictoriaantipolo1994yeah they are both metal utensils but the knife at least has a handle that probably doesn’t conduct electricity.
3:50 tyler making it to ElectroBOOM channel. 5Head Confirmed
When I was very young and stupid, I stuck a knife into a toaster and suddenly the whole room lost power.
I guess it was a GFCI or RCD breaker in the consumer box.
i did too, with a metal butter knife. a rather mild electrocution until i thought to myself to better let got of the knife just in case. i proceeded to flush down the toast for safety, haha. Being a stupid kid i only thought of it as mildly entertaining but better not repeat it just in case.
I unfortunately did the exact same thing with a metal butter knife, but I didn't get an electric shock. The power went out and there was 2 deep grooves left near the tip of the knife. I still see it when I visit my parents sometimes and have a laugh
One time when I was young I put an aux cable in a wall socket, one side in the ground hole, and the other side in the live hole. Big spark. Almost died of fright
I had the idea of the capacitor alarm last week, so surprised to see it here too, I would love to see you do it, I would like to make it later as well
the problem was you where trying to weld aluminium (the alligator clip) with a regular steel electrode. it would probably work better welding steel
The very first "welding machines" were exactly this: just a tank of brine/salty water to limit current.
This was however, over a century ago, before covered electrodes were being sold commercially and a vital part of a "welder's toolkit" was a peening hammer, to knock shut the porosities/bubbles which occur in unshielded weld beads.
You probably meant over a decade not a century, but reading that really threw me off.
@@stabileseitenlage These welding "machines" date from the 1880's, premade covered eletrode were introduce by Oscar Kjellberg (founder of Esab) in 1904. Both were over a century ago.
@@stabileseitenlage They 100% meant century, not decade
@@PsilocybePsientist Oh, I never sent my reply. I actually misread the original comment and thought he said HIS first welding machine was like this. That's why a century seemed off to me. I can absolutely imagine that welding was a thing back then.
Why not use a heating element (or several heating elements in parallel) for welding? Brine risks an explosion from the generation of hydrogen and oxygen near the sparks.
The toaster thing actually is significantly more dangerous with an older toaster. New toasters have grounded plugs and casings, but if you have an older one it was pretty common to get them with a non-polarized plug and no grounding. For such a toaster there is a 50/50 chance (depending on which way the plug is plugged in) that the heating element is live all the time even with the toaster turned off.
Noooooooooo! 😭
Still wouldn't explode
Until now, I didn't even know they make toasters with ground pins, never had one
@@JakeInaitor5000 that's companies with no safety and health regulations for you
I hate that knives get singled out, like a metal spoon isn't just as dangerous. If you gotta dig, just use a plastic fork.
to keep pressing number 5 on your keyboard in this video is just one of the best things ever
200k likes reached! He has to do it now ;)
the guy in the corner is Tyler1 lmao
Whee?
Where?
Why is it guy that has over 108,000 subscribers? Watching electro boom fails lol
1:06 TROLL!
Where is alarm clock?
We are at 200k likes ElectroBOOM it's your time now
Just remember, when you're holding that knife handle, that, on some full tang models, the metal of the blade extends through the handle and is exposed on top and bottom.
3:04 if I shock myself enough I might be able to do a full 360
0:50 the sound effect even come before the explosion of the toaster, we would have even seen a mild flash first then herd the sound
"who is this guy in the corner?"
Me: oh no, it's Tyler1
I'm very stressed at college right now but this video has cheered me up and removed some of it. Thank you for another banging upload Mehdi.
Toasters did not always have polarized plugs, which meant that the heating element could be connected to the live wire depending on how it was plugged in. Even if the toaster was off the exposed wires in the toaster could be live.
But that wouldnt make it explode.
Then dont buy them. Dont buy toasters made of plastic, they are a fire hazard, and dont buy devices with metal cases that arent grounded.
@@Chuckiele That s why I have a wooden toaster
Which is still true today in all countries that don't have polarized plugs.
@@M4RC90 Modern toasters have double pole switches.
1:05 this part felt so real for a moment 😂😂😂
"Who's this guy at the corner, here?"
Tyler, you scoundrel!
I get so much courage after watching your videos Mehdi. I honestly feel immune to electricity right now. I'll be in the shop making a free energy machine.
But you're not immune to Mehdi. He, put it mildly, is not fond of free energy device inventors!
LATITY is one of the best series on this channel. I enjoy every Episode.
Keep going like this 👍👍
Yeah. They are short, they are funny - and also educative.
Who's here after he made the alarm clock?
Me

Icame first here before he make an alarm clock
I really wanna see this alarm clock. Let's hit those 200k
The bubbles forming from the electrodes is actually mostly hydrogen which is even worse considering you're generating sparks right next to a highly flammable gas. Some chlorine does form but at a much slower rate and a part of it usually ends up making a layer on top of the water because of how heavy of a gas it is.
Was looking for this before I posted it except for the chlorine density bit. Forgot about that
Dude, they are literally stoichiometric. One forms on the anode, the other one on the cathode.
@@mikoajp.5890 Although they technically are stoichiometric, the amount of chlorine gas actually formed and released isn't what the basic equation says. First of all, the bubbles you're seeing form in this video are basically oxygen and chlorine on the cathode and hydrogen on the anode which come from the dissocation of water and NaCl. Try it yourself with two seperated cells linked up by a salt bridge, you'll see that there are almost no bubbles of chlorine forming on the cathode side in comparison to the hydrogen ones on the anode side. You'll also see that the hydrogen bubbles are smaller and have a constant rapid flow meanwhile the chlorine bubbles are slightly bigger and tend to stick to the cathode instead of bubbling right out which in turn means that the concentration of chlorine in the air is less than the one of hydrogen.
Either way, most of the chlorine immediately reacts with the sodium to form sodium hypochlorite aka bleach. It will also react with your electrode if it's made out of a metal. This is why the simple equation doesn't tell us what actually happens in real life.
@@DeluxeSlayer Are they not technically catanodes as it's AC ;P
Well the spark is very far away from the gas so it’d take a long time to explode the hydrogen gas.
must be chlorine...
which is poisonous!
this is why we love the channel, congrats to almost 5mil.
It was actually just hydrogen and oxygen, you can do the same thing somewhat safely by dropping a 9volt battery in salt water
@@williamletts9487 the products of an Saltwater electrolysis are: HCl + H2 + O2 + NaOH. One of which is a deadly Gas. After all the Cl is gone only H2 and O2 are produced. Because of this Water electrolysis is normally not done with NaCl but with other salts added.
Chlorine and not chloride.
@@williamletts9487 No, it was just steam, there is no electrolysis with AC, but with DC it would indeed have been Hydrogen and Chlorine if you use table salt.
@@mernokallat645 typo
My uncle would’ve loved this, he was a extremely big fan of yours. Your videos bring me some happiness because I get to think of my uncle while watching them
3:03 the logic is hilarious!
😂
"When the circuits are alive, do not touch them with a knife." - Jenifer Brezhnev - 2022
Mehdi realizing he's breathing chloride, 6:10 lmao
Man you by far have been my favorite CZcamsr for years!
I used to stick butter knives in toasters all the time as a kid, because, if I pressed the toaster's filament with the side of a knife, it'd turn from red back to black. And then when taken off it slowly heats up again. It was just amusing.
Best part is? Butter knives don't have plastic handles. I was using a solid metal knife to prod inside a toaster. Purposefully touching the filament. While myself being definitely grounded. *DOZENS OF TIMES* ! Fun!
Not gonna lie not sure how I didn't get at the very least knocked on my butt by a jolt any time.
About the saltwater welding: AvE did a test of I forgot what it was, where he used a bucket of saltwater to adjust the current that flows through the setup. The deeper the electrode is in the water, the more surface area and apparently more amps. Maybe you can also have a little fun with this idea. Great video as usual, thanks!
The concept is called a variac, the specific implementation is jokingly called the scariac. TKOR used one built by Grant to power a lot of their high energy projects. Pretty sure the original was an old Popular Mechanics DIY project. It's not about amount of surface area, it's simply the closer you bring the contacts, the more energy they can conduct. Can adjust the electrolyte to adjust the variability of the device.
@@eideticex thank you! I didnt know this stuff :)
Search for liquid rheostat on wikipedia or so. We used one to load test out generators in the data centre I worked for until about 20 years ago.
@@eideticex Variac is actually an old trademark and really refers to a "variable reactance" and specifically a variable autotransformer. This is just a variable resistor made of salt water. In many applications, the distinction doesn't matter that much. Nothing particularly new or dangerous...as long as you don't do something crazy like throw it together with exacto knives sitting loose in a glass of salt water.
Somehow... I feel like somebody should let Medhi know that he was electrolysizing water... into Hydrogen and Oxygen... in a completely uncontrolled setting... In an enclosed space (hopefully with decent ventilation) and then showering the room with sparks and at least a very small amount of open flame and serious heat...
The reason we use DC for Electrolysis Devices is to control which side produces the oxygen and which side produces the Hydrogen... AND to keep the two separate TO AVOID EXPLOSIONS... at least, until we're ready and actually want explosions...
BUT the point is, ANY TIME you bombard water with electricity, you split it into Hydrogen and Oxygen... If you do so with AC current, you're just bubbling up the gases every which way and completely uncontrolled... He's pretty lucky he wasn't playing with it much longer... It could've been bad.
...and maybe he knows, and it was a joke when he sniffed, "It's probably just chlorine... yeah..." BUT it's hard to say exactly... ;o)
4:01 that's Tyler1 why the hell is he there...
6:30 gandiBOOM
The first video made me think "What kind of weirdo is that?"
I've been watching your videos since 10 a.m. and I've rarely been so entertained. Keep it up!
I love this channel so much. It’s so informative and entertaining
0:22 that "ok bommer if you....." triggered my Google assistant
Same
why did it trigger?
Oh damn, Just 15.000 likes short of Medhi making an automatically reloading capacitor alarm clock.
haha short.
4k left till that alarm clock, let's get it guys!!!!!!
8:29 Another great alarm clock: a cloud of hydrogen, mixed optimally with oxygen and then a spark somewhere inside. That bang wakes up!
You can even just electrolyse water, so you'll have the perfect stoichiometric proportion of H2 to O2. Seems doable.
@@PanduPoluan
Unimportant how you GET that cloud, the bang is impressive.
You could also put a chunk (~1cm³) of sodium into around a liter of water, that should also do the job, although it's very messy, with lots of highly reactive sodium debris and water shooting through the air!
With this setup, you can wake up the entire building with your alarm clock!
@@windowsxpmemesandstufflol
Exactly!
5:50 BRUH YOUR EYES
Keep up the AMAZING work dude!
5:58 when he mentioned the bubbles the only things I could think of were 1 electrolysis 2 dude just inhaled a lot of chlorine lmao
6:00 "assuming it is salt water, it must be chloride or something. Which is poisonous"
My first job was with Marion power shovel in 1969 and all of the welding machines were water welders ,you raised and lowered one of the electrodes to adjust the current , this was pre OSHA days !!
we hit 200k! build the alarm clock!
Toasters deceptively use the ultimate revenge.
You never fuck with one.
6:49 as a Turkish i can confirm we have the best scammers in the world

“What is the worst thing that can happen? The explosion in a hotel in the UK?”
The fact that this was said by an Iranian electrician makes it even more comical... and suspicious
Been watching you forever, saw a 3d printer in background. Yaaaay . Random thoughts but you rock man !!!
pov electroboom in every single video : "oops... the breaker popped!"🤣😂

Mehdi: Thats very dangerous. Never try at home!
Also Mehdi: Lets try it anyways....

he just proves why you shouldnt do it at home
It's like watching a Road Runner cartoon. Same thing every time, but still funny as hell.

0:22 ElectroBOOMers ringtone😂
I also did that, stick a knife in a toaster. But it was an all metal knife, so also the handgrip conducted lol. But i didn't really felt anything and the ground switch popped, we have those here by default in the fuse closet of the house / appartment.
8:20 Wow! Those are some real mind blowing facts!
Im glad to see this man's channel grow
1:23 when the toaster becomes a microwave
I remember seeing you yt channel years ago and now your a big yt channel
hehehe the Capacitors Reloading Clock is coming.. 👀
3:45 why is t1 in the corner lol
6:05 small correction, it's a mix of hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine (it isn't chloride unless it's negatively charged).
past a certain salt concentrartion i think chlorine takes precedence over oxygen and no more oxygen is produced (bc of side reaction)
@@jonathanouyang What side reaction?
@@Owen_loves_Butters such processes are optimized in the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water it states "Using NaCl (table salt) in an electrolyte solution results in chlorine gas rather than oxygen due to a competing half-reaction." and that "chlorine gas being preferentially discharged if the concentration of Cl− is greater than 25% by mass in the solution."
@@Owen_loves_Butters without source but I'm sure theres some merit to that
The rotating solar powered device is called a Mendocino Motor, and yes, it works like Mehdi says. I have one, actually :)
He literally welds *over* his laptop. Pure engineer 💙😂

3 days later, he IS at 5 million subscribers, haha
200k likes achieved. Gimme that lethal alarm clock. I've tried everything else. Maybe the constant threat of death or serious bodily injury will finally get my groggy carcass out of bed in the morning.
Each of Mehdi's videos are so informative. I really enjoy watching him because of that.
He turned 45° angles of Mehdi in 2:56.
