Closing a POWER ARC Switch with a WEAK ARC (LATITY-012)

high without further Ado aduma Doom okay [Music] I may or may not check it in the next episode okay let's sort this a little bit rare image of a newly born technician the poor guy is still carrying half of the eggshell on his head Mom and Dad typically put a bunch of vertical antennas around the nest to keep the young safe I was in four trade ow I just bit my tongue out I was in fourth training today and made his heated seat video came up the whole class was laughing LOL where they're trying to design some car heated seats are they using my videos to design their cars we should be expecting some crashes later hmm let's see if we can find any important information from their whiteboard overthinking creates problems that don't exist life lesson maybe in his spare time what's going on here they are shorting their power lines with their crane I hope the pool guys up there are okay did they not see the wires there's the crane so many wires up there although I think they panicked a little bit too hard it wasn't jumping to their bodies it was just jumping to the crane if it was just me I would just sit at the corner of the crane and wait for it to blow over you know if I'm right and it is 10 kilobolt it's not gonna jump far somewhere between three millimeters to a centimeter maybe so just keep your distance far away from it and you will be safe and whatever you do don't point at it trying to show it to your friends because it may jump to your finger but maybe you said it won't jump over one centimeter yes but that's the initial Arc after the arc is made it can stretch over long distances like a meter or two depending on the power available can I show you that let me see if I can put my microwave oven Transformer back together this is so dangerous foreign [Applause] the hell happened my secondary coil just popped out of the Transformer that what now I have to try it again ready [Music] why is it popping out yeah I see it seems like it has been arcing to the core in a couple of places shorting the coil and the Eddy currents were just pushing it out let me see if I can add some paper in there for added insulation clamp the core so nothing pops out now we check for shorts by powering the Transformer something is burning I don't think I can use it as a high voltage Transformer anymore yeah it arced through the paper not this suitable paper for this purpose I have another Transformer I think this one is for a ballast sent to me by Chris Downs a long time ago pray for me nothing oh my breaker had popped trying again oh forgot to connect the wire trying the game okay it's quite low noise that's good let's see if there's any arcs what the voltage is not high enough try the other outputs okay I was expecting a higher voltage this is garbage let's check the supposed output voltage 285 volts this Transformer is not high voltage well by high voltage I mean 2000 volts anyway I'll just show you what I mean from one of my old videos we need more power to be able to stretch the arcs see [Music] for a wider Arc we need more power to create and maintain a longer ionized air channel and now with this I'll show you you can create a short circuit between a low voltage high power power supply using a low energy high voltage Arc let me show you what I mean the voltage across these two wires will be around 250 volts which is not enough to break across the Gap and make a short circuit and you might be familiar with my magic wand that can create over a hundred thousand volts I connect the ground or the body of my magic wand to the white wire of the output these two wires are of course shorted together through the secondary of the Transformer but it is an inductor which isolates the AC high frequency so if I send arcs to the black wire you see instead of going through the winding of the Transformer the voltage Rises high enough between the wires that it jumps across the tiny Gap and now we plug in the Transformer again there is 250 volts across those wires that is not high enough to jump across the Gap but let's zap it see my high voltage arcs from the magic wand create a momentarily short circuit Arc between the output voltages that now the Transformer can push a ton of current through it and create these big arcs that are melting the wires basically those high power arcs that are like a short circuit are switches I am closing using a high voltage low energy Arc I think that's used in the industry somewhere basically what I'm saying is that yes 10 000 volts can only jump between three to one centimeters but imagine your body is charged to a hundred thousand volts in that case it can Arc from your body to the 10 000 volt line it's a low energy Arc but it can jump a long distance and that is enough to close the circuit for a much more powerful Arc from the 10 000 volt to your body which will cook you to depth so you know don't just stay like a centimeter away from 10 volts stay a meter or more from 10 000 volts one of those stray arcs happens short circuit will be massive hey one after thought you saw how those 10 kilowatt arcs stretch and travel stay out of their way too oh by the way I should probably tell you this next month is the month keysight starts their Shenanigans giving away hundreds and thousands of dollars in test tools and equipment my next video was supposed to be sponsored but it doesn't matter I love this event it's like an educational scope and tools giveaway Christmas they gave me a link you can use now to register for the event and giveaways and instead of one event in March they are doing it in four events throughout the year and if you use my link you can win one extra scope per event so do it I'll try to remind you more properly in my next video like this video is sponsored by before ee versus after ee can you believe I used to have hair as long as the unibrow is in tag time in good shape measurements I suggest for more accuracy push those pins a little bit deeper don't but I bet he has that switch off to be safe UK plugs but evil look at that you know UK plugs have a fuse in them but I guess with this they just turned it into a North American plot nothing special what would happen hmm one charger plugged into another nothing let me try it see something I learned is that the new USBC Chargers can change voltage between 5 9 12 15 and 20 volts and the old ones always stay at 5 volts so here's an old 5 volt USB charger and this one has a USBC charger let's plug it in nothing happens because they both stay at 5 volt see the default voltage for both these is 5 volts so connecting them wouldn't make any difference the device you're charging would have to talk to the charger to make it change its voltage and they are not doing that now you can stop sending me things like this there is no explosion involved anyways how to start a fire we'd had a bit of rain overnight and our matches it got wet but this wouldn't worry an old bushy like me I've got more tricks than all circus magician what I've got here is some kindling some steel wool and some jumpolys and it's just a matter of touching those on there and you have a fire why did the car blew up well it would work if you connected the clamps to the steel wool not short them together just one touch and the steel wool Burns beautifully well I guess now this guy is stuck in the bushes too don't mess with your car battery if you are in the middle of nowhere or you'll be just some alligators food here's 240 volt AC to USBC charging cable you know like I said USBC output somewhere between 5 volt to 20 volt DC and connecting it to it seems like 240 volt AC well I know it's for a joke but if you leave it around somebody's bound to plug it in and blow up their phone just make sure you have a hidden camera recording them I'm joking don't do it troll the Boomer in the sub of course if you're a boomer we are in the same Community getting called a boomer by my own children yes you don't want to be a boomer outside our community how to make electric hazard foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he just made a light fixture well frankly it's not much worse than the North American light fixtures I mean does this look much different to you it's pretty much the same electricity in Poland Square electricity what does it mean hopefully it's not a swear word yeah there might be some disconnect in the wall but the funny thing is that it might just be the light bulb loosing its socket always a start with simple stuff I probably should lead by example so often I see something doesn't work and I turn it apart and check everything just to find out that the power button was off I put my hand in front of a magnetron while it's running because I'm a stupid guy obviously you know what a magnetron is it is that device that radiates the microwave energy into a microwave oven to cook food am I getting cancer from this well you know those microwave energies cook food from the inside so you won't get cancer but now you can eat your hand I guess stop putting your hand in front of a magnetron I made a 50 nanofarad capacitor because of Electro booms video lies it says 50 micro farad and how did you even measure the 20 ohm ESR for those of you who don't know ESR is what was it again erythrocytes sedimentation rate resistance equivalence series resistance because every capacitor also has a parasitic series resistor in it called ESR that can limit the current through it and it's typically very small 20 ohms what did you make your capacitor with charcoil I'm joking I like it good job making a capacitor Rafa hitting a live cable with a hammer why why nobody should be working on any live wire until somebody opens the breaker and there is no power and nobody should be cutting live wires with an ax especially these seemingly contract workers paid by the government wasting my tax money there can someone explain funny it seems like this kind of videos became popular all of a sudden of course if you thought these rocks were generating power were you living under them there's just some rocks conducted to some extent and they are connected to live and neutral and the guy is just shorting them people always get a kick out of shorting stuff not me though I enjoy it am I missing something from learning electrical engineering for four years or it's some anime well I heard that you have to watch out for static electricity she's working on a computer or something so I thought it would probably be safest if I took off my clothes well it is true that's why in all the computer manufacturing factories everyone works naked I'm joking don't peek into the factories thinking you'll see something interesting if it is electrostatic sensitive environment people just ground themselves with straps like this of course I don't want to discourage naked workmanship but it's probably more dangerous to yourself you can get burned and scratched and stuff I forgot to record an end for this video so bye like
