Its not hard to do a proper job, its just that most people don't bother because, in engineering anyways, apparently taking pride in your work is a thing of days gone by. The amount of absolute cowboys has begun to outweigh the real craftsmen in the engineering world, its sad really.
As an electronics engineer / electrician myself, I doff my cap in your general direction Mr Photonicinduction for workmanship that, IMHO, is straight out of the top drawer. That wiring is beautifully done and a credit to your skills and the profession of electrical engineering. You should make a second channel teaching your art to the world.
"It's not perfect but it's functional and safe." This is exactly why I applaud your videos. Your attention to safety is very important for those who wish to learn more about the craft.
@@Photonicinduction “Just threw it together” I think that speaks volumes for your intelligence and electronic intuition. You take pride in your work, which isn’t common these days. Looking forward for what you have next !
@@Photonicinduction If that is you throwing things together, then you would be a great teacher of electrical engineering. You would be up there with Mr Bean. 😁
Tip for those that don't know: Wind up extension cords like that have a power rating based on how unwound they are. Usually they're good for 750w fully wound and 3000w fully unwound. Be careful when drawing too much power through one that is fully wound as they can get hot real quick.
I've heard that, but I've never seen it be an accrual practical/physical problem. Between all my crews, all my trailers, and all my job sites, I've got well over 100 extension cords. I've used thousands of extension cords and I've never picked up a coil of cord and felt it be even noticeably warm. Maybe if you've got a really long cord, and it's in a job box, where there is zero air movement, and you're pulling a 1500W sustained load, it might be a problem. Other than that, I've never seen any issue or heard of it happening on the hundreds and hundreds of jobs I've been on, with hundreds of subs, and thousands of workers.
People usually get hyped up and more animated when they talk about something they're really interested in. You, on the other hand, become a bit more relaxed when you're talking about all things electrical. You can even tell it in your voice! It's a bit slower and more relaxed. Like it's your comfort zone! Very interesting, indeed! Glad you're back! And most importantly, BE SAFE! Cheers!
You know what amazes me the most? The fact that you bring in all this industrial and commercial electrical equipment onto your carpet, and it still looks cleaner than the one my wife vacuums everyday.
It's amazing that I enjoy technical videos the same as pop/destroy/burn videos... And that intro music put me in mood and seeing that room filled with stuff make me happy as little kid seeing favorite toy shop 😀
WOW, that wiring is UNREAL. I've only been in the trade for 4 years but that is some of the neatest I've seen for such a chippy project. Even someone not in the trade can appreciate how nicely done that is. Props mate 👍🏼
As an old aircraft electrician, my heart jumped when I saw you touch a terminal with your bare finger. Even if I know the buss is dead, I strongly reserve touching them anytime unless absolutely necessary. Even the, I give it a very quick bouncing finger slap. I highly respect electrical power. That’s why I enjoy your channel. Thanks
Would like to see you have a go at some cable jointing 11kv lovink joint or a lv pilc or consac joint, or maybe do a video explaining some old style cables that are used on the electricity network
That cable management is top notch, Dave (eevblog) needs to hire you to fix his damn house panel that he has shown off in a couple videos about his solar installation. Love your videos and so glad to see you back!
I didn’t come across your stuff until you came back, but I just finished watching your backlog. As a 17 year old starting to learn and have fun with electricity your videos have been such a fun reminder of what makes electricity fun and badass. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best of luck on everything going forward
So glad your back. I am not an electrician, neither are my work colleagues. However, before you took time out, we all watched your videos with great enjoyment. We loved watching you blow things up etc. We wish you all the very best mate. YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED
If I see that equipment and all those wires and hear all those electrical sounds, I'd run a mile away, catch my breath and thank God I didn't touch anything! This guy is manipulating those things as if it were the most normal thing in the world to do! Thank you, spooky alien!
Neutral wires are so much thinner than hot side.. but yet alternating current puts the same voltage through neutral side at 60 HZ (USA). I am just a hobbyist, but I struggle to see why neutral is smaller than hot. Love your videos, glad you are back ✌️
You will probably never see this comment, but I appreciate every video you make. I've learned a ton from watching your videos and decided to take the next step in my own career by joining a company that is going to train me for electrical maintenance to enhance my mechanical maintenance skills. Cheers from me to you!!!
There is no burn marks on the carpet, tidy up after doing cable work, and using a cardboard barrier for the motor to keep the carpet clean. Sus! :) Glad to have you back.
Your wiring and build quality is top class. It is wonderful to see you back. Whatever the voltage or current you employ I always know that it is completely safe as you know what you are doing. Very clever man! Also how you build things so quickly is amazing. May your marriage continue in happiness.

Very well-said. And not to mention he fought for years with the Home Office (and eventually succeeded) to be able to bring his wife to live with him.

andy is just great like that :3
he left social media for earn money by work in company.. what a man!

Was coming to say the same! 0 - pop is my favorite
@@Okurka.
@@Okurka. 😁your right but it should be:
No power < much power

Shouldn't the rolled up Cort work as a ballast and prevent overload so even when the whole drum is burning the fuse wouldn't kick in :D
Was literally just going to ask this, thanks. Would it be fine as long as there is no load on the output?
I've heard that, but I've never seen it be an accrual practical/physical problem. Between all my crews, all my trailers, and all my job sites, I've got well over 100 extension cords.

Probably provide more Radio frequency radiation when unwound too. Resonating at the same frequency as the length of the cable perhaps.
Very true. I melted an extention once while mowing the lawn when I was a kid. Melted together in a coil. Not even on purpose.
Being inside that room is like a kid in a candy store. :-) You've got some great equipment.
Photon has too many TOYS !
its scary XD lol
The one and only, who literally stays positive
He alternates between the two often... One would thing he's bipolar - we just think he's alternating between the two.
@@tcpnetworks Awesome
@@tcpnetworks at this point. He's more of a three phase chap.
@@tcpnetworks No, he is powered by AC current! (AC power is a sine wave, it goes up and down constantly....)
I’m always excited for a new upload from my favorite electrical maniac.
“…if you need that extra push over the cliff. These go up to 11!”
11?
PHOTONS GO UP TO 30!
the dial is 0-115% says so on the nameplate, so 11.5! 😁
@@SuperBrainAK beat me to it lol
The sticker near the knob says 0 - POP and nothing else matters.

man the wire management on that front panel is spectacular!
3 Minutes ago, what a banger to fall asleep to.... until he blows something up ..
So neat, love how you wire stuff
4 Nill and then proton posts a video.

hearing that into again was like sitting back in an old, comfy chair
He wasn’t dead. He was just grounded until he conducted himself properly

Bang on
You got that from that Facebook post
The scale on the knob was the perfect finishing touch - zero - pop :)

I guess I can postpone my sleep by 8 minutes 🙄😂
Me too!
Really enjoying the new content, happy to have you back.
I'm still super excited that your back!
Wonderful build, thank you for making videos!
Ahh the sound that variac makes is music to my ears
The sound that electric motor was making at the end was music to the Ears, I thought Photon was going to next over volt the thing and cook it.
Thank you for making this day better Andy
That beast looks terrifying , Your wiring jobs are so super neat they are amazing.
What a huge ass variac. Must weight a ton! From the vid, movement seems to be butter smooth.

That was art.
Hurray!!! Thanks for coming back!
Its kina amazing seeing all the comments and views on his new videos, its like everyone was just waiting for him to come back.

0-POP on the dial 😜 fucking love it lol

IM SO GLAD YOUR BACK! i loved your old vids so it makes me so happy your back with zapping the everliving hell out of things once again!
Bro i really love that hum you can hear that crazy power running through there and i like your cable management looks great
Turns out revving an electric motor can be just as fun as revving a combustion engine!
if I understood correctly, that was 40,000 watts he ran it on! 400 volts * 100 amps = 40,000 watts = freaking insane. aka classic photonic.
