I worked as a Telecommunications Engineer for 20-years. I have seen phones where the line has been struck by lightning. I've seen heat and current so intense that it has welded the metal contacts in the plug and socket together. I've also seen one get so hot that the solder on the circuit board inside the phone melted. Electric shock is not the biggest danger, but acoustic shock is. I saw one customer lose the hearing in one ear due to that type of shock. Most phones have an acoustic shock suppressor mounted inside the ear-piece. They're not bad insurance, but they aren't infallible. My advice? Stay off the phone during a storm.
My mother was watching TV during a thunderstorm a few years ago. Lightning came in at the open window and struck the steel ironing board that was propped up against the wall right next to the TV.
4:13 this steven guy could work as an adam double.... just in case they accidentally replaced buster with adam in a 200 feet drop from a crane or something like that....
lol, we had a waffle iron that did this to my sister. i used it all the time, only got a tingle, but she got hurled the only time she used it. hilarious :)
Was thrown off a chair by a lightning strike that killed a computer monitor but strangely not the computer (A BBC Model B, was 1984 ish).Was using a joystick with a metal thumbstick playing Elite the original. I was obviously a bit WTF was that at the time.
My home was hit by lightning last year, and it burnt out all the sockets and the fues box 🗃 it melted some of the wiring and I was lucky it didn't burn down my house
Faraday cages are made from conductors. A house, no matter if stone or wood, is not a conductor. Usually lightning goes through wires and drains and those are grounded. But j it's not a faraday cage, because the gapes between those are too great.

Thanks for the advice 👌🏻

Lightning strike around 50 yards away blew up showers, telephones tvs and even the doorbell
In germany near München, we have a similar high voltage testing area.
I bet the infra red messed with the camera's focus. The amount of infra red light would have exceeded the filter on the Mythbusters Camera
The legal warning
Lol
Heh. 7:31 is a power factor gauge, not a charge gauge. But it looks dramatic
This is true. Happened to a friend of mine

my brother got blown across the room when i was a kid because he wouldnt get off the phone

Thargoid first contact?

700kV isn't that much. At least not for an impulse generator.
That Steven guy must be Adams younger brother
So, are you authorised to put this on TH-cam or did you just not watch the first few seconds?
It's not illegal if you don't look aha
Lool are you blind
You made your point. Now shut up and enjoy the show.

This is one reason why phones are different these days

Kulelyn?
Inductors create a magnetic field capacitors short the electricity
So.... Don't put explosive charges into your phones speaker and you won't get burned. Still die from the electricity though ^^
Ah yes, the goatee era.

Yeah now it's the Amish beard era where everyone looks like an Amish farmer.
@@taekwondotime And the sleeve tattoo era. No idea how why came about.
Hello
That's half house
Yeah but they need to see what happened inside while it’s going on
Yes you can be struck by lightning if your house's grounding is shit. So myth busted.
houses are a faraday cage.... oh sorry you guys still make your houses from wood..
As a computer engineering student i never underestimate worst case scenario which means anyone can get struck by lightning
@@oddjobkia Faraday cage has nothing to do with lightning safety, and your house is made probably of cardboard.
@@sachinshilwal71 right

Steals a video and doesn't even remove the first few seconds mentioning that copying it is illegal 😅
