New here, really love Styropyro, he's not just crazy, he's crazy smart. He's taught classes before and knows a lot about what he's doing, he just also knows how to make it seem alarmingly dangerous. Thankfully he's also super safe about the stuff he does, or he'd get deleted lol.
Ya know, Styropyro would probably be a Scientist in a Command and Conquer game, a lot the stuff he makes feels like it'd be in the hands of GDI, Nod, the Allies or the Soviets.
Yeeeeah, PhotonicInduction made my jaw hit the floor the first time I saw one of his videos. Melting a 'spanner' on a BRICK that was sitting on a RUG. No fire hazard there (as sparks and chunks of molten metal go flying.) Dude is 100% certified Batshit Crazy™.
I once commented on his videos saying "Well if there's ever a global wide electromagnetic pulse knocking out our electricity or a gamma ray burst blasting out into space, then we'll know who to blame.
I saw this video because I follow Styropyro. The guy is actually super knowledgeable and has a degree in chemistry (i think) to back it up. But his channel is super fun. Definitely should watch more
I credit Styropyros old laser videos for my old boss and I eventually becoming good friends. We worked with lasers in our field of work and we used to watch them together and shit our pants over some of the stuff he created. His videos brought out the inner child in us.
Sometimes i like to imagine an alien civilization intercepting our internet videos, and the first glimpse they ever see of our planet's civilization, is a video of a guy in a hard hat laughing like mad at a tesla coil shooting lightning into the air with next to no safety precautions. That wouldnt be an entirely incorrect snapshot of our civilization, to be honest. xD
The skin effect is actually caused by eddy currents due to the magnetic field inside the conductor, increasing the internal resistance. This causes attenuation of the current density (amount of flowing charges in an area). This makes the charges move best on the "skin" of the conductor. To eliminate some of the increased resistance you can use many wires wrapped around each other, otherwise known as a litz wire.
Styropyro is so cool. He's a trained chemist also and even taught it. He's like a mad scientist and seems crazy but he definitely knows his safety too at least with chemistry lol. He's a whole different kind of experience totally unique.
When I was really small I had a plasma globe and I could actually use it to influence our VHS, I could make it stop and even rewind the tape without touching the player (and no, it didn't have a remote).
12:12 Why is it funny that he added some warning stickers? It says "DANGER! High voltage!" for a reason. That reason being that if you're too close to the coil and it activates whilst you're not a minimum estimated safe distance of 3.5-4.5m, you're probably going to "unalive".
From the coil discharge? It would burn, but not kill. Power supply made out of four MOTs? That would absolutely kill if you touch it, or the primary circuit it is powering.
@@curlyhairdudeify I can only really comment fro Australia but I suspect it will be similar around the world. It’s usually pretty easy a cheap to get started. I would contact your local technical school or even a careers councillor. Love to see another LEGEND get into electrical
If you thought that was insane, you really need to do the red one just below the top of your list "building a fire death machine using soviet military tech" 😶🌫
9:44 Speaking of free energy, my friend is convinced a battery can charge itself. He's got a car battery attached to a power converter with two outlets. One has a drop cord for his lights and stuff, the other is powering a charger that runs back to the battery. I tried to explain why that won't work, but eventually gave up thinking he'd learn soon enough... It's been running for 2 days, and that battery is still at 12.3v... smh
See, this is what's so great about TH-cam - no longer do you have to wonder "what would happen if...?" - I guarantee, someone has either tried it or explained it, and they filmed it.
can describe whats going on @ 06:55 mathematically? voltage goes high, and plasma arcs form, but what i cannot understand is the movement of those arcs, and how would they work elsewhere with same setup
What he means by skin effect is that AC creates eddy currents in the cable itself which pushes electrons to the outside of the cable. The higher the frequency the stronger the effect, less wire is utilized thus the resistance gets higher. So at a certain point, the wire becomes useless.
Awesome video! One of my favourite cooking channels (How to Cook That) also does debunking, and did an awesome video warning against fractal wood burning,, then I watched the Big Clive video on the same topic, and a bunch of videos about LEDs, and now TH-cam has taken me here and I just hit Subscribe.
Watch the Shawn Ryan interview with DJ Shipley, a seal team 6/DevGru guy who nearly died doing fractal burning in his spare time. It's an insane story amongst other insane stories from his military career.
16:35 yeah there were some really high power lines running along the highway on my walk back from school back in like 2004 and they always terrified me because you could HEAR the buzzing sound coming from them and (I have long hair) whenever my girlfriend and I crossed under them our hair would stand up. In hindsight it probably wasn't smart to cross the little cheesy steel cable fencing with a yellow ⚡ sign on it, but you'd think that if it was dangerous they would have used something better than a 1.5m tall wire fence to keep people out right?
Can you imagine being styropyro's next door neighbor? I love watching his videos, but frankly I'd be terrified to live within a mile of his home lab. I know he's an expert, but STILL.... 😆
As a kid I used to hold a piece of wire next to my plasma ball and use the arc to draw smiley faces on my finger. They'd last a decent while. Couldn't even feel it, I just thought it was fun. Unfortunately I accidentally left the wire too close for too long once playing with an arc and melted the glass.
Awesome. Simply awesome. Thank you sir. Your my new reference Sparky. I will follow your channel and try to keep from getting too smoked out by information. Lol 🥃
So thise globes are decieving in the sense the voltage is way lower than what someone would think. The glass ball has vacuum drawn before its sealed and filled with some conductive gas. They run 2-5kv but if it was just standard air inside youd probably need 150kv to have the same effect.
I've got a question about florescent light turning on under power lines. Is is most power lines or just certain ones and is it safe to do so. I'm not an electrician so I don't know much about electricity
It would only work with anything of a substantial voltage, like 10s or hundreds of thousands of volts. Plus it will depend on far you are from the power lines. The close the lines the less voltage required
Well... Styropyro got the skin effect wrong. Actually a bundle of very thin isolated wires would be the lowest resistant solution here. A thick wire is also ok because it has a pretty big surface area but he inside of the wite isn't used for and current carrying and doesn't help to decrease the resistance.
If those long arcs from the secondary touch flesh, there would be surface burns but no electrocution due to the low currents and high frequency. Stay away from the primary and the circuitry around the spark gaps, that is super dangerous. The 60 cycle frequency component would probably stop the heart and there is enough current available to cook meat.
The arc he's drawing to his finger from the plasma globe is burning his skin. Typical voltage for operating that size plasma globe is a few kilovolts. Voltage gives the electricity momentum but current gives it the burn factor.
Howdy 👋, I’m following StyroPyro as a subscriber here on YT for many years. He’s really a bright kid and does cool videos. Your reaction is also great to watch. So, I’ve subscribed to your channel. Cheers mate.

Agreed he is an absolute legend
Yea he has a master's in laser tech and another degree of a smaller level with electrical engineering
@@krunkmonkey3792 He has only bachelors degree in chemistry. Nothing in laser or electrical that stuff is just his hobby.
He also progressively gets more muscular throughout his videos.
One of his old laser videos did actually get banned, I don't remember what exactly about it was against ToS but he's more careful now.
Ya know, Styropyro would probably be a Scientist in a Command and Conquer game, a lot the stuff he makes feels like it'd be in the hands of GDI, Nod, the Allies or the Soviets.
Rumor has it Styro works for NASA now
“Hey guys, styropyro here. You may be wondering what this beefy machine is behind me. Well, that’s my own variant of the Prism tower”
He does freelance contracts for the DOD. He's mentioned it alot in videos. Also gets cool tech from leftover project parts
@@ultralaggerREV1 It'd probably be the Allied answer to the Soivet's Paris Tower... Also I can just hear your comment in his voice.
@@kabob0077 HAHA, exactly what I crafted.
My comment I made it for people to purposely read in their minds with Styro’s voice
it’s amazing hearing how unimpressed stryo is after seeing a voltage output strong enough to kill him
😆 I know he so flippant about it

You know it's the real deal when the professionals stare in shock and excitement at your creation.
Seing styropyro's older videos really shows how much muscle he's put on. He's becoming too powerful
Isn’t he into Jujitsu?
Obligatory epic rap battle (Rasputin) reference - did somebody say real power!?
@@thinklist yeah he is
Imagine if Styropyro and Michael Reeves got together.
If you think StyroPyro is crazy.... He was inspired by the original electrical engineering mental case that is PhotonicInduction
They are both so crazy and awesome

StyroPyro has such amazing content, terrifying, but awesome
So true I love it
Yeah Styro is a madman and make Telsa proud everyday. He exists to redefine safety ratings
😆😂 he is a legend
“class four” “smash more”
StyroPyro: Mad scientist, but also a lad with such a unique energy. Man has an energy that I wish could be bottled up and sold
We joke at work that all electricity relate blokes are a bit weird
Finally, a YT comment shown on video. All of his Tesla coil videos are definitely worth a watch, even if it's not for a video
Of course, these comments are what keeps me going. I’m just steering the ship 🚢 you guys are directing me 👍
I find that when the professionals are giddy is when you should worry
Love this kiddo, he is total nuts with lazers... and almost sounds like a madman with his ideas he is about to do
He is AWESOME isn’t he. Can’t wait to do another
And yet, he’s fully qualified to do this stuff too
He's something around 30

I'm am electrician but you gotta be almost an engineer to come up with this stuff. That's crazy. Reminds me of the nuclear boyscout.
Styro is the best channel on YT. He does all the things I’d do if I didn’t have to work all the time.
he has a pet squirrel. hes like a fucking disney princess mixed with a mad scientist.

Great to finally have another Aussie electrical / electronics channel! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the support mate 💪
This just came across my feed after watching the latest styro video, I dig it. Got yourself a new subscriber all the way in the US.
My man just said 😲😮 in the intro

This causes attenuation of the current density (amount of flowing charges in an area). This makes the charges move best on the "skin" of the conductor. To eliminate some of the increased resistance you can use many wires wrapped around each other, otherwise known as a litz wire.
He didn't like ur comment so ur probably wrong lol
The issue with a Litz wire is that eddy currents can cause the wires to separate at extreme voltages
@@big_gunsmoke7.623no, he’s right, his comment just wasn’t seen
"Honey the wierd kid next door is trying to rip through reality again."
😆
Styropyro is also quite amazing, you're missing out, btw more photonicinduction madness, those never get old!
I love how many unhinged (in a good way, usually) people in STEM fields there are on TH-cam
Back in the 1980s there was a movie called "The Manhattan Project". The dude in that movie reminds me of Styro.
Dude so true. Hey thanks for supporting the channel 👌
This guy is great. Reactions are GOLD. Keep it up mate
The chances that Styro is on a government watchlist somewhere are definitely not zero.
His sense of humor is amazing
I did this with a lamp I had as a teenager, set a coin on it and scorched my finger pulling arcs!
Found your channel through algorythmic Styropyro recommendations. Love your reactions & you earned a sub!

How seriously he takes safety really comes out when he's dealing with lasers
dude's neighbors have to absolutely love him
My dream collab would be to see ElectroBOOM and Styropyro do something crazy together...

Styropyro is an amazingly intelligent man.
Telling about voltage is not a measure of danger, couple with high current and you will impress every time.😊
Plasma globes at about the size of what he's using are usually up to 20,000 volts.
