Fun fact. Back when electricity was new, they sold little electricity catch pans. You'd put them under your electrical sockets to catch any electricity that would "leak out".
Completely legit. Though pans will not work, but at least 100 meters long wire piece will. And you must live near 100+ kW AM radio station.

Until AM radio in my country got obsoleted and station was dismantled at end of nineties.

@@tynj4173 I know it's not worth the wear on my keycaps to type out a response to this, but fine. I'll bite. There is no "hive mind", as convenient of a straw man as that would be for dowsers and whatever persecution complex they suffer from. The far simpler reality is that a lot of people understand that a phenomenon only supported by anecdotal evidence, with not a single controlled study in support of it and many, many pieces of evidence against it, is at best not worth their time and at worst a blatant lie. It's equivalent to saying that smoking tobacco extends one's life because their aunt smoked every day of her life and she lived to be 90 - ignoring the 480,000+ people a year in the US alone who die from smoking-related ailments and decades of evidence to the contrary. Anecdotes. Aren't. Evidence. I don't believe in dowsing not because I am "unable to explain it" (I can, it's ideomotor response, confirmation bias, and perhaps conscious or subconscious expertise), I don't believe in dowsing because there's no evidence to support it. It's not our personal lack of ability to explain - it's that the explanation dowsers want DOES NOT EXIST. Believing things that have no explanation is not and should not ever be the default. If a rigorous explanation for dowsing arises - one that doesn't crumble under the tiniest bit of serious scrutiny, supported by well-documented, well-controlled experiments of sufficient scale - I will have no choice but to and no issue with changing my mind. Until then, I will continue to feel secure in using other methods to find my water.

The energy saving sticker is the funniest one. My lecturer (who was teaching me circuit theory) once told me that he actually saw a professor from a certain university selling similar stickers on Shopee, an e-commerce app. He emailed the professor and unsurprisingly, the professor never replied him.
Hello, Mehdi! I'd just like to mention how my *whole* family believed all this nonsense, along with pretty much most of their acquaintances and how despite my best efforts, without access to The Internet, while growing-up, I eventually started to believe I was in the wrong for thinking they are all foolish and it drove me insane. *This* , among other things led to some serious mental issues, later on in adulthood, most of which have now been resolved, thankfully. Recently learned there's a fancy word for this: "gaslighting". Just want to give you a heartfelt *thank you!* for making these videos which will help prevent similar consequences for other young people. As for TH-cam removing the Dislike button, a reminder that: 'causing harm to others with little or no personal benefit' is the modern definition of *an act of stupidity* .
@@tsm688 That is a good point! The 'feeding misinformation while denying the other party's rational thought, causing second-guessing to the point of insanity' bit is still there, however. A sort of... 'unintentional gaslighting' if you will. Keep in mind, also, that such people take the "this is for their own good" line of thinking and *intentionally* cover-up gaps in the logic. Which is easy to do with a kiddo, just like telling them Santa won't visit if they don't eat their vegetables. That is manipulation of a sorts. I am bad with words, but I will say this: you need to experience it to understand just how nasty it is. Intentional or not.

If I put a book in your bag and convince you it was always there, and keep messing with you like that for months, with the goal of convincing you you're a forgetful twit incapable of manging their own life, that's gaslighting in one of its original meanings. Or someone mysteriously messing with your reports at work to make your work look worse than someone else, is also gaslighting -- someone mysteriously undermining you in **other** people's eyes. Manufacturing a fake reality to undermine someone in their own eyes or others. Being "gaslit", as if by lights on a stage, stumbling around on a fake construction without being aware of it.

14:34 discharging the "7000F" capacitor while holding the wire from which he's discharging it with his bare hands? That's some non-existent free energy right there in the capacitor
Definately fake cap. But he shouldn't get a zap if he's only holding onto one terminal of the cap. The circuit is between the supply and across the wire. Also it's not mains voltage which is ground/earth referenced.......don't know......what do you think?
No current will actually make it to his hands, but I get his fingers got a bit warm. There would definitely be burned fingers if the wire was held much longer. That said.. Mehdi's right, that capacitor is a total fake and probably houses a battery inside.
@@kittenisageek But it's a DC current coming from an electrolytic capacitor with 2 terminals + & -. Electricity usually travels along the path of least resistance right? He is holding the wire at the end and not in the path of current flow. So shouldn't the current travel from one terminal across the short/wire and to the other terminal completing the circuit. Now if it were household AC ground referenced current and he was touching only the active wire while he himself was grounded then yes sure he gets zapped.
@@jayytee8062 The voltage isn't high enough to do anything if he touches both terminals with his hands -- even if it were an actual super capacitor. Super Caps are very different from most other capacitors. They generally have a voltage range from 2 to 5 volts or so. So he could lick the contacts and get a tingle on his tongue, but that's about it. At the same time, the amount of current that can flow through a conductor is really high, which means that even though you only have 4 volts, you can still melt wire.
2:13 my grandfather used this technique to find underground pipes he was responsible for the water supply (mostly maintainance) for the next few villages (like 8k ppl max) and it seemed to work for him when i was watching him as a kid now im a geologist and cannot believe this would work but sadly my grandfather passed away when i was like 10 years old so i cannot question him anymore😕

Hy, congrats. for the video and thank you for the laughs, however, I have one observation to make (which might not matter in the big scheme of things, though) : Those high view counts of the fake videos might be fake as well, meaning that they just bought views from the many "view farm" websites. Just to try to fool the algorithm into thinking those videos are popular and get featured to more real people.
Water witching works. I do it with a single utility flag. Bend it 90 degrees, hold it lightly, walk near lines, it will respond to lines underground. I didn't believe it until I did it. I was taught by a underground line locator. The use it to get an idea of locating pvc lines that don't have locators on them. It's mind blowing.
Thank you for another very entertaining video. BTW: while watching your content my kids and I love playing a minigame where we compete in predicting your "ouches". Happy holidays for you and your family!
The magnet one at 4:50 was interesting. I did something similar when I was in high school except the disc was above the magnet and was tilted. I couldn't make it spin continuously like in the video though.
14:10 I have watched that video, I was an idiot kiddo and didn't knew whats farad, but I thought that the capacitor can heat a metal wire to red hot, thought I will make it in future when I will have more knowledge and material, and today, I know it's garbage...
With the rods thing, it does work, provided that the utility has current going through the tracer wire. We had plenty of trainees come in and say that it doesn’t work, we would grab one rod locate the gas line that we were sending a high frequency signal through, with the rod and then go and use the actual locator and see how close we were. Hundred percent of the time if you knew what you were doing you were dead on within reason with the locator.

Fun fact. Back when electricity was new, they sold little electricity catch pans. You'd put them under your electrical sockets to catch any electricity that would "leak out".
Completely legit. Though pans will not work, but at least 100 meters long wire piece will. And you must live near 100+ kW AM radio station. Some ingenious folk got free light in their garden sheds near our capital city radio station in this way for several decades. Until AM radio in my country got obsoleted and station was dismantled at end of nineties.

@@tynj4173 I know it's not worth the wear on my keycaps to type out a response to this, but fine. I'll bite. There is no "hive mind", as convenient of a straw man as that would be for dowsers and whatever persecution complex they suffer from. The far simpler reality is that a lot of people understand that a phenomenon only supported by anecdotal evidence, with not a single controlled study in support of it and many, many pieces of evidence against it, is at best not worth their time and at worst a blatant lie. It's equivalent to saying that smoking tobacco extends one's life because their aunt smoked every day of her life and she lived to be 90 - ignoring the 480,000+ people a year in the US alone who die from smoking-related ailments and decades of evidence to the contrary. Anecdotes. Aren't. Evidence. I don't believe in dowsing not because I am "unable to explain it" (I can, it's ideomotor response, confirmation bias, and perhaps conscious or subconscious expertise), I don't believe in dowsing because there's no evidence to support it. It's not our personal lack of ability to explain - it's that the explanation dowsers want DOES NOT EXIST. Believing things that have no explanation is not and should not ever be the default. If a rigorous explanation for dowsing arises - one that doesn't crumble under the tiniest bit of serious scrutiny, supported by well-documented, well-controlled experiments of sufficient scale - I will have no choice but to and no issue with changing my mind. Until then, I will continue to feel secure in using other methods to find my water.

Hello, Mehdi! I'd just like to mention how my *whole* family believed all this nonsense, along with pretty much most of their acquaintances and how despite my best efforts, without access to The Internet, while growing-up, I eventually started to believe I was in the wrong for thinking they are all foolish and it drove me insane. *This* , among other things led to some serious mental issues, later on in adulthood, most of which have now been resolved, thankfully. Recently learned there's a fancy word for this: "gaslighting". Just want to give you a heartfelt *thank you!* for making these videos which will help prevent similar consequences for other young people. As for TH-cam removing the Dislike button, a reminder that: 'causing harm to others with little or no personal benefit' is the modern definition of *an act of stupidity* .
respect brother
The meaning of the word is changing, it seems, but gaslighting used to mean quite intentional manipulation, not just being wrong.
@@tsm688 That is a good point! The 'feeding misinformation while denying the other party's rational thought, causing second-guessing to the point of insanity' bit is still there, however. A sort of... 'unintentional gaslighting' if you will. Keep in mind, also, that such people take the "this is for their own good" line of thinking and *intentionally* cover-up gaps in the logic. Which is easy to do with a kiddo, just like telling them Santa won't visit if they don't eat their vegetables. That is manipulation of a sorts. I am bad with words, but I will say this: you need to experience it to understand just how nasty it is. Intentional or not. And if you read-through this wall of text, get yourself a beer and have a *smashing* day!
@@tsm688that is true. Gaslighting means to screw someone over by giving them a lie and telling the truth to another idiot.
@@murderer2022 Telling the truth to anyone is not required. If I put a book in your bag and convince you it was always there, and keep messing with you like that for months, with the goal of convincing you you're a forgetful twit incapable of manging their own life, that's gaslighting in one of its original meanings.
Or someone mysteriously messing with your reports at work to make your work look worse than someone else, is also gaslighting -- someone mysteriously undermining you in **other** people's eyes.
Manufacturing a fake reality to undermine someone in their own eyes or others. Being "gaslit", as if by lights on a stage, stumbling around on a fake construction without being aware of it.

I've known a few guys like this; totally convinced of themselves that they found some new thing that the smartest people in the world have somehow all missed. It's both hilarious and depressing listening to these chuds.
It just pains me that he says "gravity field". I hate that word more than anything because it just shows that dude knows nothing on the simplest physics as gravity is acceleration hence the name gravitational acceleration and there is no "falling up" or down or left or right. The universe does not have any set vectors besides your perspective and based on your local positional axes that you are in

It's 7000 Fake.
Definately fake cap. But he shouldn't get a zap if he's only holding onto one terminal of the cap. The circuit is between the supply and across the wire. Also it's not mains voltage which is ground/earth referenced.......don't know......what do you think?
No current will actually make it to his hands, but I get his fingers got a bit warm. There would definitely be burned fingers if the wire was held much longer. That said.. Mehdi's right, that capacitor is a total fake and probably houses a battery inside.
@@kittenisageek
But it's a DC current coming from an electrolytic capacitor with 2 terminals + & -.
Electricity usually travels along the path of least resistance right? He is holding the wire at the end and not in the path of current flow. So shouldn't the current travel from one terminal across the short/wire and to the other terminal completing the circuit.
Now if it were household AC ground referenced current and he was touching only the active wire while he himself was grounded then yes sure he gets zapped.
@@jayytee8062 The voltage isn't high enough to do anything if he touches both terminals with his hands -- even if it were an actual super capacitor. Super Caps are very different from most other capacitors. They generally have a voltage range from 2 to 5 volts or so. So he could lick the contacts and get a tingle on his tongue, but that's about it. At the same time, the amount of current that can flow through a conductor is really high, which means that even though you only have 4 volts, you can still melt wire.

Just to try to fool the algorithm into thinking those videos are popular and get featured to more real people.
Water witching works. I do it with a single utility flag. Bend it 90 degrees, hold it lightly, walk near lines, it will respond to lines underground. I didn't believe it until I did it. I was taught by a underground line locator. The use it to get an idea of locating pvc lines that don't have locators on them. It's mind blowing.

14:10 I have watched that video, I was an idiot kiddo and didn't knew whats farad, but I thought that the capacitor can heat a metal wire to red hot, thought I will make it in future when I will have more knowledge and material, and today, I know it's garbage...
With the rods thing, it does work, provided that the utility has current going through the tracer wire. We had plenty of trainees come in and say that it doesn’t work, we would grab one rod locate the gas line that we were sending a high frequency signal through, with the rod and then go and use the actual locator and see how close we were. Hundred percent of the time if you knew what you were doing you were dead on within reason with the locator.
I should clarify that we used one rod. Not two.
