Imagine staying at a hotel somewhere and you just happen to see Mehdi trying to break into the electrical room lol
If he suddenly leaves I'd do the same lol
a click out of one, two is binding…
I would feel honored. Won't you?
@@formbi three is set...
would be Shocking 😃
Mehdi: time for a family vacation
Hotel’s liability insurance: *sweats profusely*
Hehehe
Wot?
I doubt they would get insurance in the first place, certainly if they found out about the fire alarm it would be void.
1984 was a cherry year for smoke detectors!
ok
I love that his daughter is playing on her phone, not lifing one brow despite daddy messing with the outlets on his knees in a hotel. I can only wonder what this kid has seen through the years..
Plot twist: she's actually deaf. :P
@@geoffreyentwistle8176Well i guess they dont have to worry about her saying dirty words lol
As a Hawaiian I can't believe you trusted anything about our wiring, I am surprised half the cables weren't repurposed extension cord 😂
I mean, he did discover that the hardwired smoke detector hadn't been replaced in almost four decades.... because nobody bothered to test it.

What do you people think about this?
The tinkerers loophole
Funny as hell
Imagine having this guy as an electrical engineering teacher. Middle of class he just blacks out the entire university, he’d be a legend
It's hard to tell when he is pranking with the sparks, but that hotel suite only had a subpanel with no main breaker. If a dead short is big and fast enough it will trip both the branch and the main, and possibly even further up. Then he would have been forced to break into that central electrical room to hide his tracks. Or get the hotel management involved. "I dunno what happened.."
I blacked out my school using a paper clip back in the day!
@@Rageypeep did the exact same thing but in the boys bathroom lmao
every day at 12 he starts lunch break with a branch panel breaker trip
Imagine the rage of those laboratorium assistants who forgor to save their Word documents.
the outlet looks shocked!
but also sad :(
Underrated comment
“Shocked”
I see what you did there
This is actually a very refreshing take on teaching people about electric and GFCI. You basically brought humor to the mix for a very important issue of regular checking GFCI. This is so very clever. Nicely done
I like how he has turned "fucking with the wiring of hotels while on vacation" into a tax deduction
does the killer usb work on comments
@@itainteasy upset? What r u the hotel owner
@@oak8728 mehdi specifically eludes to nuking "tax fraud data" in the killer usb video. If I was upset that he was writing of his vacation, and I can understand your confusing my comment for jealousy. but please explain to me why that would concern the hotel owner?
@@itainteasy correct I thought you were trying to nuke the op comment as if you were the hotel owner. To be fair your comment of the tax fraud data nuke is not really close to a deduction as the op was referring to making your joke hard to follow. You gotta be a dad ;)
@@oak8728 still not sure why the hotel owner is upset about writing off a thing he got paid for. Maybe... "what are you Mehdi's CPA?".
I love how everyone else is just like "mmm warm sand" and Mehdi is just like "Ah yes the raw form of semiconductors"
Lol
😂
I would say: *Ah yes, unmade glass*
@@orangelake2268 Is that a minecraft reference?
@@prabhdensingh8740 no, its a scientific fact that glass comes from sand via heating it up so much that it melts
I imagine that the switches and handles at a low level is an accessibility feature. Imagine you _need_ a wheelchair or crutches and you want to open the door or turn the lights on?
I wonder if it’s for Japanese tourists
@@kurtbitner6675 😀
@@umakemerandy3669 lol that wasn’t a joke. Japanese apartments have much shorter design, if you are taller you’ll have a hard time using countertops in the kitchen
For hotel rooms the primary things that make a room handicapped accessible are:
switches and door handles at a lower height
wider doorways
grab bars in the tub area or a roll-in/walk-in shower
Some hotels go above and beyond and do things like no cabinet under the sink to make it easier to reach.
That is exactly what it's for, they usually lower the switches in houses specifically designed to be wheelchair accessible. I imagine the hotel does the same thing but for all the rooms so they don't have to make a different room layout for disabled people.
9:25 "...otherwise, I would check its outlets."
This made me lmao
Did they let you into a hotel again? I thought they have learned.
Holy crap I didn't even think about that
ok

No normal people go it’s sand it’s everywhere get me out of here.
Observatory closed to public
Mehdi [outside, banging on the door]: LET ME CHECK YOUR OUTLETS!
@@Mr.Sparks.173 holy moly grease donut!!
Not much silicon in Parrotfish poop, which is what that sand actually is. Mostly coral.
What about gallium
2:50 this is a gentex smoke detector. There's a version with the fire strobe and one without it.
13:14 searching for electric eel to test 😂
😂
"It's not accessible by the public, or I'd go check it's outlets."
You, Mehdi, are the ultimate geek. Thank you for that.
In the meantime at the observatory: "Is he gone? Why does this dude linger around? Should we call police?" 😂
When he said that I legit laughed out loud. I was expecting "... or I'd go check it out."
Good job he is not a medical practitioner.
proably one of the reasons it is not available to public too :) they KNEW
@@mechadrake Lol my thoughts exactly, they heard he was visiting and closed it off.
Mehdi you should do a series with the Airbnb locations, would love to see what electrical "black magic" you can find 👀
Ayo, you're the guy!
I nominate my house. The wiring screams what AvE would call "uncle granddad".
I booked an Airbnb once, it was a 10 storey building. So basically a Hotel only using one room as an airbnb but all the others with doors open wires hanging out concrete rubble everywhere including corridors. It was awful and i was going to spend a month there. The breathing was difficult from the dust so I just left.
Mehdi could go to establishments like Gordon Ramsey did but he instead checks the safety of electrical equipment and turns the place upside-down to knock some sense into the owners.
Oh, I am so with this idea! I follow several people who rate travel locations, and it would be fun to see them take Medhi with them.
as an electrician this was too relatable. I was on the edge of my seat as you were searching for the panel.
As a maintenance technician for an apartment complex usually we are held to higher standards as we lease homes but every time someone moves out we have to go in and fix anything broken and update old apartments so we have a list of everything we need to do including testing and replacing outlets and switches.
I love how this man goes on vacation just to test electrical outlets.
I prefer to test the beer.
I don't know anything about income taxes in Canada, but as an American, this looked like "How can I take the family on vacation to Hawaii, and write it off as a business expense?"
@@1mmickk Same
I tested the electrical outlets in my basement when I was a little kid, and actually discovered that they were miswired.
8:11 - Over here, metal flush-boxes are RARE. They were basically discontinued as standard ages ago, although, you can still use them if you want. ALL the flush-boxes in the last 30-40 years, and all new installs, use plastic ones. Mind you, grub-screw type terminals, not just 'Wrap around and screw' type flat screw connections. 240v also, and an earth line and M.E.N. connection system. Not sure if they even use M.E.N. at all in American 110v systems. Most sockets and plugs seem to be two prong, with no earth line at all. I note the SOCKETS in USA allow for an earth pin, but it seems to be very rarely used. Over here, ALL appliances and wall sockets MUST have that third earth connection UNLESS the product is 'Double-insulated' - which is indicated by a double square symbol on the product if that is the case. Very entertaining video! :)
Normal people getting into a new home/hotel: ”oh what a nice view and good quality house”
ElectroBoom: ”where is the electrical panel?”
Lol
Which is good, he's giving himself more safety
I'm like ElectroBoom, I stayed in a place that still uses screw fuses, it was the main panel too. Such beauty, but also a bit dangerous since one of them was bypassed with a nail.
Some of the outlets were so loose you could take them out of the wall when you unplugged something, and of course, no ground anywhere.
he ain't going on vacation unless it's a proper HVAC-ation.
@@Carlium sounds like my house, except no fuses bridged, but there def isn't a ground anywhere, the quickest replacement for ground in such old installations is best done by shorting neutral to earth, so then you arent static shocked when touching metal appliances
This hotel is likely gone after the widespread catastrophic wildfires
Judging by the fire alarm and fire hazard outlets, might be the culprit as well lol.
Testing the smoke detector on vacation is the most Dad move ever.
"Don't try this at home"
I won't, I'll try it at some random hotel room.
LOL
The switches being low might be a wheelchair accessibility thing.
Correct!
off course below one meter
Or for the Menehune :DD
As a forme electrician I can confirm you're right 👍
Even though I'm tall, I find I don't have to bend down to flip the switch, actually, they're usually just above height my hand naturally rests at, just takes some getting used to, not having to lift my hand right up to flip the switch.
Even better, means that if anyone with a wheelchair wants to live there, they won't have to adjust anything.
2:36 i like how one of the first things he does is destroy something
Smoke detector is a year older than I am. Kinda scary. It would be neat if you or someone else were able to access the room a year later to see if the hotel owner fixed the issues that were brought up.
Also rest in peace potentiometer. Your noble sacrifice may save the lives of future guests.
F in the chat
Getting that oscilloscope through airport security would be interesting
More interesting knowing it's Mehdi
They don't even blink at electronics equipment. But they'll confiscate wire strippers if the handle is too long. Ask me how I know this...
I once took a large oscilloscope as a carry on, they didn't even ask what it was. It was pre-9/11 though.
@@phunkydroid pre 9/11 they let you take a corpse in a bag through airport security.
I got a travel sized multimeter for my last trip well worth it. Didn’t have any trouble although it was my checked bag.
On the other hand if for some reason you bring two laptops through somehow I got waived in to have extra inspection on that they had to wipe it down and run it through a chemical screening machine.
7:32 "Now that we are relatively safe, let's open this outlet.."
His daughter at the back: yea this happens everytime..
lmaooo
i think we found the source of the Maui fires. It wasnt grass it was poor building codes.
I imagine Mehdi explaining to the hotel reception they need to fix their outlets whilst also explaining why he needed to break into their breaker room.
I didn't know outlets with poor contacts like that were fire hazards. I'll be replacing mine in my room now after seeing this video!
As a tip, don't buy the cheap $0.99 outlets. Pay a few bucks and get the so-called "commercial grade" outlets. They have much better contacts that last a lot longer generally.
Loose outlet contacts also cause sparks which can cause even more heating.
@@JohnShalamskas and sparks cause carbon deposits which cause EVEN MORE heating.
You could in theory open the outlet and squish the contacts back together, instead of replacing it
Well i mean you could also live in a country where the plugs are smartly made
I really just spent 15 minutes watching a guy check the electrical components of a rental. I am becoming my dad.
Damn that is one vintage smoke detector -1984 George Orwell. I was expecting sparks when you removed it from the ceiling. Now Airbnb is going to add "ElectroBOOM!" star ratings to it's listings - this one would be a 2 star hotel! Breaking into the electrical closet - priceless!
2:55 there are still ones of those smokes still working supprisingly
I feel like being "that guy": I don't know which beach you were at, but a lot of the sands in Hawaii are coral-based. That means they are more calcium carbonate and less silica....so no semi-conductors :-(
but they still contain silica....so yes semi-conductors :-)
@@ryanmalin Just more semi then normal semi-conductors..... or it is more conductor then semi-conductor? Or like a not-so-super conductor? Wait.... where does all that calcium for the coral come from? Those things are everywhere.
@@ryanmalin well the semi conductors aren't made from sources that aren't already pretty much pure silica / quarz, so yeah no the sand with 50% calcium carbonate isn't semi-conductors
I mean the silicon in semiconductors isn't coming from sand either, it's usually mined and purified. The higher the purity of the starting material the less work you need for further purification.
@@InTimeTraveller from what I just researched on wiki & yt, either quartz or sand (silica sand obviously) is purified to metallurgical grade elemental silicon, and some of that is further purified into semiconductor or solar panel grade silicon (crystaline silicone). So yeah it doesn't come directly from sand, and it definitely doesn't come from a sand that has large amounts of calcium in it.
Do you think when he goes to have dinner at someone else’s house he brings a multimeter and asks where’s their breaker box is?
He’s like “Excuse me, I have to use the restroom” and hear him blowing up an outlet in the other room.
yeah
"why is he taking so long?"
*Bang*
*Medhi screaming*
*Lights go out*
@@lucaspetty5990 The level of confidence radiating from your comment makes me want to believe you
Lmao I love that somehow
as an electrician, I can attest that my wife hates going out to eat with me because all I will do is stare at the ceiling. If it's more than 20 years old, and has exposed ceilings, you are going to find violations. Every time.
10:12, you said u brought ur trusty wire to not fail you... and it failed u. 😆
Love these vids of you testing electrical setups while traveling!

"Unfortunately It's not accessible to public, otherwise I would check their outlets"
If Mehdi goes to area 51, the first thing he will do is check their outlets.

6:22 can we take a second to appreciate the electrician who wired that box up? This is what pride in your work results in
Part of the reason I bought my house was because the circuit breaker looks like that, even after additions. I told them as much too.
Clean!
It does my heart so much good to see so many other people noticing things like this!! ❤
@@michaelpichahchy2489 Absolutely. As someone who works with their hands, I can appreciate ANY JOB done to that level of perfection. I can only dream of wiring up that clean lol
Yep. That breaker box is 40 years old. Looks like it was wired yesterday. Then he gets the grunts to mount those baseboard outlets with no elec box. SMH

Ah.. the laughter of your loved ones as you fall down and hurt yourself.. all dads knows this
ahhh the love, they laugh when he falls at the beach, but when Electrocute falls on the slope you hear the "Ooompphhf" of compassion for her...

@@cezarcatalin1406 And instead of the lock opening, you get a *ZAP BLEEP*
Do I hear crossover?
Medhi, you saw how old those smoke detectors and outlets were. We've been in a pandemic for 3 years, not 3 decades. The hotel had plenty of chance to fix these items before the pandemic, an I'm sure they were broken by then. They're bad not because they can't fix them, but because they don't care
I would definitely send a letter or email to the AHJ after you return home.
And one nights stay would have paid for a new smoke detector and GFCI.
@@kcgunesq The local fire marshal would have a field day for the smoke detector (maybe the outlets too.)
Medhi should test one of those $10k a night places.
@@bubba99009 Realistically, it would take an electrician less than a day to replace all the outlets and detectors in all of the units. Outlets can be had for $1 a piece and $15 a piece for GFCI. And that's the consumer price, not even the contractor price. It would only cost a couple thousand to fix. They waste more money on shitty soap bottles.
And Maui is on fire now.
7:48 Yo dude that actually jumpscared me!
13:17 .... Mehdi Searching for Electric eels.... 😃😜
Me: "Hi, I checked your GFCI outlet and found that it is defective."
Hotel Manager: "Pack your bags and get out."
That's why you report it WHILE checking out ;)
That monstrous brow shows so much emotion 😂😂
6:29: Fuse panel be like: “That’s right! Don’t mess with my circuitry!”.
“That’s a giant observatoryyyy… unfortunately it is not accessible to the public.. otherwise I would check its outlets” that is the most electroBoom thing to say lmao

I freakin’ LOST IT when he was by the observatory and said “unfortunately it is not accessible to the public, otherwise… I would check its outlets.” :D
Yes, that one should be clipped
Best part!
If he goes up here with Cub Scout or Boy Scouts he can scope the outlets then. The Air Force has given multiple tours of the telescopes over the years to our local scouts 🤘🤘
@@mauirixxx Do they have a badge for electrical safety?
That was gold and hilarious 😂
13:36 Love the reference to the "oh no! Our table! It's broken!" meme lol.
I enjoy how he actually teaches us multiple safety tips and helpful hints while he's going about and intentionally shorting stuff and kinda injuring himself. Way to engage and still learn some
13:37 oh no! The 12V battery! It's broken!
I've been following this channel for a few years and watched it grow. This man is a perfect example of a fully-qualified electrical engineer who's deliberately acting like a total fool in order to show everyone precisely how and what NOT to do... ever! ❤ Anyone who leaves derogatory comments on any of his videos is clearly oblivious to the fact that he knows EXACTLY what he can do with out causing damage to himself of other people's property! I'd actually love to have a beer with this guy 😀
He's gotten distracted a few times with the camera and gone further than I think he intended to. Not sure if he meant to short out in the breaker box. I think he was too focused on making sure the camera could see the meter screen.
a beer with live and nutral submerged instead of lime
The mere fact that he is still alive and not burned or scarred severely is proof that Medhi knows what he is doing!
Have you seen the electric guitar? :')
Loved it. Keep it coming
The Forest players in 14:29 would use his axe.
Oof those falls on the beach looked painful haha

I'm sure the observatory staff would be very pleased when they have been waiting 2 years to get a good viewing window of Pluto and their power mysteriously dies...
I was so obsessed with outlets back when I was in kindergarden; now this dude is traveling all around the world to study their outlets.
I'd love to hear the conversation between Mehdi and TSA trying to explain why he needs to bring a bunch of his electronics with him on his 'family vacation'
He actually alluded to that once, look up the video of his UK vacation 😂
Meanwhile in South Africa:
Airport security: Sir, what are these?
Me: Those are Glock 19 magazines and spare recoil springs.
Airport security: Ah ok. Enjoy your flight.
That was something new I learnt about poor contacts becoming a fire hazard! I’m going to check all my outlets today. Great video Mehdi, hope you all enjoyed the holiday 🙏
Use a fork!
@Karl with a K I’ve had that happen too! It taught me not to overload dimmers again
@Karl with a K this is why i dont use dimmers period. even when i moved to my new apartment the first thing i did was check every outlet and find a place to put my pc where i could use more then one to power everything.
Surprised the home I'm renting hasnt gone up in flames yet...
now that I think about it, poor contact is like trying to run a large current through a thin cable, because the same amount of current has to go through smaller area, it heats up faster.
Host/hostess at checkout: "How was your stay?"
Mehdi: "Your GFCI breaker in the bathroom failed my electrical tests. But otherwise the room was secure."
Host/hostess, under breath, *WTF is a GFCI?* "We'll have our guy take a look."
Comes off like Dwight Schrute 🤣
Mehdi:(Walks into hotel lobby)

guys please stop bullying it’s not fun for anyone
Loved this video. Amazingly relaxing
I wonder if that hotel is still standing after the fires.
I definitely appreciate the message at the end. That being said, the smoke detector was dated to 1984. I think maintenance at that specific location for safety equipment maybe had some issues even before the world economic slowdown impacted vacation rental markets.
To be fair, the majority of rentals I've had in Hawaii have been similar to that one. Focus on that kind of thing seems like a lower priority there compared to the mainland.
Other possibility, the test actually sends electric signals to a control room somewhere else and the people there are just confused as to why the alarm there rings but no smoke can be seen
@@ZenoDLC you still don't leave a smoke detector in service for nearly 4 decades they usually have a service life of 10 years & even if you do they'd need cleaning & that was filthy.
@@ZenoDLC the striped Link wire isn't even connected when he pulls it down, just line and neutral.

I remembered this video last week while on vacation in Cape May, NJ. Our hotel room had outlets that felt like the squeezed the prongs of the plug so tightly that they 'spit the plug out'. It felt as if they were like two metal strips at an angle.... < .... that applied force continually on the plug. It wasn't too loose, like you had in Hawaii because it took a good bit of force to get the plug it. I had to plug in the power brick for my laptop and balance it just so that it wouldn't pop out of the plug. I've never experienced anything like and wished I had my electrician safe screwdriver with me to check it out (grin).
Literally I Just binge Watched every Vlog LOl😂
9:30 Knowing this channel, checking the observatories outlets will result in a massive spike which will in turn boost a signal which will trigger an alien invasion and they will kill us all.
@Gaming ZONE GAZO a lamo
Wouldn't it be nice?
first thing the aliens see from the human race is Mehdis monobrow
Ayyy a half life reference
Honestly I really do pack a multimeter and a soldering iron for holidays, to fix all the stuff I've built for the holiday
I always pack a Pinecil iron with me just in case. It's extremely handy sometimes
Do you also bring a can of WD-40, as well as a smaller can of WD-40 in case the lid on the big one gets stuck?
@@squimmysquam WD-40 is very useful in Hawaii... No problem finding it locally ;)
Seriously, stuff starts rusting in like a day.

12:46 When in a hotel and your GFCI outlet is not working, write 'broken' with a sharpie on it!
The hotel will have to replace it because they dont want the next customer to see that!
alcohol wipes off permanent marker. You're goofy. Nothing will be fixed.
@@TheGuruStud Then scratch it into the plate with a knife
Good luck wiping that off
@@TheGuruStud then cut the text into the outlet or burn it
@@TheGuruStud Not all combinations of them. I already had the combination of plastic and a sharpie where the main parts of the color could be wiped off with acetone, but it still had a clearly readable "shadow".
Hey Mehdi, I work security at a hotel. The hotel is an absolute catastrophe. I’d be happy to supply a free room in the “Monterey bay”, in exchange for an undercover inspection! 😉🧐

IT'S A TRAP

@SUPER28 how come

Awesome video Mehdi,my brother lived in Kehei Maui a few years back & I grew up on Kauai (my son is still there), beautiful place. I did the same stuff you did accept I critiqued the locks and security systems in the places I stayed in. I guess that's what nerds do!? Aloha Nui. Thanks for the memories!
This video is a comedy and educational gold mine. I am delighted I stumbled across this channel
