CRTs are regularly 1 kV per 1" of screen, so if that's more than a 10" screen (and I would guess it is) it would be 10k volts, yes. They're less dangerous than people think though, because while it's a lot of voltage, the capacitance of the glass and vacuum isn't much, we're talking nano farads, which would convert to something like 0.0X joules of energy. A tazer is 100 times that, and repeating a dozen times a second. Now, the caps in the power supply will give off some juice. That's 150-200 volts but slow enough (in the relative discharge sense) and with enough penetration to actually move through your body. Hopefully the TV has been off and unplugged for a while before filming to let the PSU settle.
I have no idea what this was for or whose idea it was to ask Bjork to explain how televisions work, but we are forever in their debt for creating one of the greatest videos of all time.
greatest videos of all time lmao. You will read the same comment under a dog having poo in a park , in youtube. What a damn era we live in, and 822 people agree with you? Lmao, I don't know if I should cry or laugh
"I stopped being afraid because I read the truth. And that’s the scientifical truth, which is much better. You shouldn’t let poets lie to you." She's such a brilliant storyteller.
björk is absolutely amazing, like a character out of a fairy tale, she takes a look at the simplest and most ordinary artifacts she finds and she cares for them all, she sees far beyond from what ordinary adults tend to see and she opens her mind to discover her world and storytell it too us through her music or through videos like this one, she's a beautiful person to hear or watch about!!
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear jua
OH NOOOOOOOO!!! I have two girlfriends, but very few people on YT are happy for my relationship success. They disl*ke all of the videos I make with my 2 girlfriends. Please be kind, dear mar
I'm just glad that she survived this show. Ahh, that 80's television. Kids taking TV's apart and touching the capacitors and high voltage bridges. Happy time for the whole family.
This woman's voice is so captivating. So captivating in fact that it's actually quite dangerous. If she wanted me to rob a bank for her, I'd do it. Lol.
If I would have a daughter like her, I would be proud for 10 lifes. As a child, I have seen the world like her, but then I stopped, overwhelmd by this violent mankind, and since I felt broken.
I'm still so much freaking out. The way she explains it is how I would I explain it to a child. That's incredibly pretty but stilly very precise in that way.
This might sound crazy but i met her in a dream as a kid before knowing she even existed, i remember she was being called bjork by everyone in that dream, she was a woman with asian features, for some reason i felt fear of her in that dream, it's really crazy
This was a missed opportunity! There could have been dozens of little 5 minute segments of "Bjork Explains It All" where she gets handed a random appliance and she goes hog wild and unleashes her Bjorkness all over it.
Wow, I just learned of ASMR today and suddenly made the realization that this video, which always used to help me sleep, totally qualified as ASMR. I had no idea when revisiting it that I might be 100% validated by others in the comments! That's pretty cool. There should be a place for sharing accidental ASMR videos. The intentional ones don't really work on me.
How can you not love this ? Not only is Bjork talented and imaginative, but she really is a fascinating human being. And yes, very very cute. I can listen to her talk all day. I love her !
Why is it that she hasn't been awarded the Nobel peace prize? Do we really need anyone else to talk but her? The sound of her voice creates a natural comfort zone. Imagine an emergency and she is your companion. All she would have to do is hold your hand and whisper in your ear how everything's going to be alright. Imagine dying with her doing just that? There would be no fear of death. None. The only other living being that can do such a thing is Christ. I'm not saying she is a God. She is a gift from God. But that voice is heaven sent. Thank you Lord, for such a creature as she.
I must say the picture quality is incredible for 1988. Even going by her hair, fashion sense and watch, you'd think it was made around 2011 and she's talking about "old" technology lol
1988 there was good cameras and tapes, the quality is perfectly normal here. The problem is just people on youtube usually, 99% of the time, does not know how to transfert this properly. Their ignorance degrades quality.
The poet didnt lie, he was pretty much accurate. In reality though one needs to be very suspicious about everything technology related as it is not for the benefit of men as advertised.
We always knew she had an active, creative imagination. But when she starts talking about how her TV works and talks about a little city full of little people inside that make it operate, and put her in "all those situations", oh my gawd, I don't know what to say. If she activates Her Imagination just a little bit more she'll end up in a nut house like Frances Farmer. And, of course, we'll still love her. Actually, maybe that's how TVs work on her planet. She's Bjork from Ork, right? "nanu nanu".
I come back to this video often for relaxation. I have for years now. It just dawned on me that this beautiful creator has been scared of television since the morning of this recording lol 😅
When I was a young boy our tv went on the brink so a my uncle who was a tv repair tech came over to fix it. When he opened the back cover, I ran to see where all the people I would see in the tv were hiding at!!!
Exactly what I thought although maybe English isn’t her first language so she just learnt that as an alternative due to in the 80s gay meant what is does today

Bjork may seem a little silly but the fact that she read a book and actually adjusted her beliefs to evidence, makes her a lot smarter than most people
m simply fascinated by that ethereal being... with all her purity, innocence, naturalness combined with her incredible talent and power to realize it, transform it, and bring us, people, a touch of that beauty and pure love ... she is the purest and truest woman I have ever seen...
Yes voltage can be stored disconnected doesn’t mean not dead! You’re right they’ve missed the whole point she sees the world differently! I’ve done mini explorations in circuit boards and seen little towns and cities. You just have to use the imagination that she has an abundance of! She is attempting to give us a perspective of her mind........ I love her POV...... TV doesn’t have to be on or plugged in to be entertaining
Be careful Bjork, one of those little "houses" is a capacitor and guess who lives there. Mr. 10,000 volts, that's who.
Raptor3400 My thoughts, exactly.
+Raptor3400 I heard he's an asshole.
RIP! :D
Raptor3400 the CRT is what stores a ton of voltage. The most you're likely to see from any of the caps is about 200v.
CRTs are regularly 1 kV per 1" of screen, so if that's more than a 10" screen (and I would guess it is) it would be 10k volts, yes. They're less dangerous than people think though, because while it's a lot of voltage, the capacitance of the glass and vacuum isn't much, we're talking nano farads, which would convert to something like 0.0X joules of energy. A tazer is 100 times that, and repeating a dozen times a second.
Now, the caps in the power supply will give off some juice. That's 150-200 volts but slow enough (in the relative discharge sense) and with enough penetration to actually move through your body. Hopefully the TV has been off and unplugged for a while before filming to let the PSU settle.

I'm not sure they even asked her to. I feel like she just brought this out during the interview.
I am so glad I found this.

Björk would make a really good children's TV presenter.
Well...
She reminds me of "Ika I Rutan", a Swedish children's show from the late 80's.
Most TV presenters turn out to be paedophiles.
If the goal is for children to spend quality time in an asylum.
No. The poet would.
"I stopped being afraid because I read the truth. And that’s the scientifical truth, which is much better. You shouldn’t let poets lie to you."
She's such a brilliant storyteller.
Some people drone out listening to the radio. Some people drone out while watching the television. That's a fact as well.
Too bad the poets are scientists.

I'm just glad that she survived this show.
Ahh, that 80's television. Kids taking TV's apart and touching the capacitors and high voltage bridges.
Happy time for the whole family.
I wish ASMR videos existed back then. She would've been perfect 😂
Her voice is so damn soothing.
Haha I was going to make an asmr comment to see if anyone else thought the same thing I did, and yours was the first one I saw.
She's still alive, you know...
Seriously.
Can you show me an ASMR video like this? Like Bjork? There are thousands of ASMRs on YT but they don't trigger me like this...
If Bjork was a salesperson at Best Buy I would buy a TV from her. She even takes it apart to show how good it is as a product lol
Ahhh... my teenage crush. So crazy and cute.
I'm currantly in love with late 80's-early 90's Bjork.
She’s tremendously charismatic - I could listen to her for hours!
She is so tender, so sweet, so authentic. I just love her
This woman's voice is so captivating. So captivating in fact that it's actually quite dangerous. If she wanted me to rob a bank for her, I'd do it. Lol.

she is deadly cute.
no matter what you say you can always back it up with an iconic "i read that in a danish book [nods], this morning"
She's like a Leeloo from The Fifth Element.
Yea!
She also has a "Multipass".
Back when TV's took 5 grown men to carry...😆 This is just amazing 😍 I could watch her paint a wall.
You must be high

One of many Bjork's classic moments :D. She's not weird, she's just Bjork!
I could listen to her talk 24/7.
Years ago, when I watched this i got the "tingles" and thought I was bugging out. Fast forward to today, tingles validated...
This was a missed opportunity! There could have been dozens of little 5 minute segments of "Bjork Explains It All" where she gets handed a random appliance and she goes hog wild and unleashes her Bjorkness all over it.
If she was young in 2000s maybe she’d have a TH-cam channel or in 2020s a TikTok.
Maybe it’s better this way lol
I'd let her release her bjorkness all over me
cutest girl in the world
I remember seeing this when it first came out. She's so weird but brilliant. Amazing voice, great actor ... etc
This couldn't be any more adorable and also insightful.
Her vocie is so calming and extremly sexy at the same time. This is the type of a girl to live by forever.

Is it just me, or is she absolutely gorgeous :)
Best tech review i ever saw
She could read a telephone book and I’d be mesmerized
she's adorable in this
she is absolutely the cutest! Lol I sat here grinning the whole time she was in explaining how it worked. Such innocence portrayed so well.
"You just schvallow and schvallow," ❤❤❤
That's real smart at the end because it does put you in hypnosis and programs you
This has become a classic in Bjork history.
I admire her wonder and enthusiasm for an amazing creation that many of us still don't fully understand...
It’s quarter past 3 in the morning and I’m watching Björk take apart a TV
I love the concept of Björk teaching. Teaching subjects that she doesn’t understand in a language that she isn’t 100% fluent in.
I’d pay to see it.
I am in love with this woman.
Why is it that she hasn't been awarded the Nobel peace prize? Do we really need anyone else to talk but her? The sound of her voice creates a natural comfort zone. Imagine an emergency and she is your companion. All she would have to do is hold your hand and whisper in your ear how everything's going to be alright. Imagine dying with her doing just that? There would be no fear of death. None. The only other living being that can do such a thing is Christ. I'm not saying she is a God. She is a gift from God. But that voice is heaven sent.
