Ahh, You know you are in a good crowd when you bust a perfectly operational £5 iron and nobody gives a fuck, nobody bangs on about sending it to another county for them to use, nobody is complaining about the carbon emission from the energy used for the experiment, Gentlemen, I'm proud of you!
M888 Y U DESTROY DIS PERFCLY GOD IRON I BET THOSE IN AFRICA COULD HAVE HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD IRON!!! AND I BET THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING. SHAME ON YOU!!!! Stay strong Photon ;)
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm still excited to see what further destruction the ultra big-daddy power supply is capable of. With a few "appetizers" out of the way now, I can bet the main course is going to be pretty fucking awesome! Cheers everyone.... -aphex
Every time a video gets uploaded I get a little notification on my phone and I'm like a kid at Christmas. No matter what I'm doing home or work that video takes priority. Thank you
Every time I see your comments, I feel I want to make a video all about you mate, in particular how nice your experiments are and a pleasant chap, proper family man, all the best mate.
***** Thanks Andy for your kind comment. Yes I do have to mix family, work and experiments in the little bit of spare time I have between "play time" and taxi service for the kids, helping with homework and being a Volunteer Firefighter as well, serving our local community. You keep that beautiful variac energized for your brilliant overvolting burn outs.
***** From what I see on these busted networks not many larger youtubers share the love by enjoying other youtubers videos, so often large youtubers stop being part of the audience. For me it's easy to hit the like and make sure my audience knows about you, possibly my greatest service to you. And if you think back it was Aussie50 who made me have a good look over your channel. I just love the mad electrical scientist in the living room look you have now, part sci-fi, part mythbusters, part neighbour from hell with the dry humour assistant, and most important very educational..basically don't play with electricity unless you really understand your boogie. It's pure youtube GOLD. Somewhere In England is the other part of my lost family when it was split by a move to Australia generations ago, so If I'm lucky I may be related to you, stranger things have happened. Mind you I have a hunch my roots come from the Yourkshire area due to the family Sunday meal which has been handed down through the generations. Some things never change :)
Watt-now, that you've de-creased the value of that iron? You are clearly de-pleat-ing the world of the chemical element-s used for such appliances but I suspect that, if pressed, you could give it a glowing review. Did you see what I did there? :-/ D Maybe you should have filled it with water to add some steam to the "pop" ;-)
***** I know, but one would think at least flammable plastics would be banned for use with anything that produces heat, but then again the iron was made in China so go figure.
+Squishy Potatoe It is, except I bet on that plastic not being heat proof at all and literally cracking and falling apart just from use alone (I've seen that happen to kettles).
+jmcinvale It would make manufacturing MUCH trickier and all the resulting products MUCH more expensive. Thermosets (thermosetting plastics) can't be extruded, arbitrarily shaped nor reused among others (pretty much only molded). This greatly limits their applicability
+Squishy Potatoe True, but for some reason some of the plastics are crappy enough to crack and literally peel/fall apart even when their melting temperature is not reached at all.
+CoolKoon I'd rather have that versus appliances that get hot made out of flammable plastic that could burn my house down should the safety features fail. The simple way is to use metal like was done many years ago. Plastics are used only because they are cheaper to make.
Props on the second power meter. I was giddy on the 10 second tea pot watching the power creep up. I saw an earlier comment that I agree with. It's time to get the HV transformer in and cause some mayhem. Love your vids man. Keep it up.
I remember those programmes back in the 1980's that warned us not to leave steam irons switched on while stood up, some would do what yours did in the video. Great vid.
holy cow! in the beginning, I've never seen your face like that, wow, 2kw it was already overloaded, but great demonstration there mate, seeing how much power things could take is fun to do and watch, cheers mate;D
I watched your coconut explosion many times on Discovery's "you have been warned." Since then i am enjoying your all videos.......... keep it up buddy.
Love the video as always, Andy - thanks for finding the time to put it together for the benefit of all mankind. I wonder how quick a George Foreman grill could cook my dinner if it was hooked up to your supply... Fortunately I like my chicken extra crispy! Andy.
This does raise serious questions about why manufactures are allowed to make things with heating elements in close proximity to combustible plastics. All things like this should be of metal construction and well Earthed.
Hey photon. Great to see another vid from you. That iron really popped early. Only a small part of the fillament heated the case to red. Then it all combusted. Neither safe, nor made with quality in mind. Good old Punisher power supply came to serve justice, we all saw flames and a real quality test to the pop. Scientists too scared to test to the pop or they have to pay for the product. Always fun to watch you play with these little devices. I check every day for a video, I don't trust the youtube news thing, it never works. I love how old school you are. It feels like we're together in the room, doing the usual silly stuff people did before youtube. Though something you should check is if you can iron a shirt with high voltage. Corona wind might do us a favour :P
Good to see you trooping on Mr Photon. As always, love your videos. Ya inspired me to bridge over to HNC Leccy Engineering and loving it! Finished my AC-DC Principles the day XD. Anyhoo fella, keep em coming ;)
With all of that smoke pouring out of that poor iron, you could have sent an S.O.S. by strategically waving a blanket into that smoke column, hahaha!!! :-)
Thats the teflon coating burning off. You would make a brilliant physics teacher, the kids would love you. Sadly your headmaster would fire you for breaching H + S regs and the pupils would be that pissed off theyd stage a walkout. Keep going!
Hi photon great video as always I always look forward to your videos I want to see you put a CRT TV through your beast power supply please keep more coming
GO PHOTON! That Iron sure has been heated to the max! Bloody thing didn't even steam at 1200! One flick of the lever and you can safely say "I popped it!" XD
Why not take it back to Sainsburys under guarantee (hidden camera of course!!) Tell them it's faulty. Would love to see there faces. Only problem is you did use it outside!! so out side of guarantee terms. Probably best not to mention the 400+ volts however.
Tell you what, I had this iron from sainsbury's basics when I lived in London, it was a great iron, did the job perfectly. Who needs a fancy 50 pounds iron?
Now if someone would be capable of arranging the donation of a Sybian for Photon to modify, and direct it's evaluation, he'd finally have that BAFTA Award he's deserved for all-too-long!!
The plastic on that iron burned for quite a long time. I wonder if it actually passed safety regulations regarding that, or if the one they tested was from a sample batch.
Hey ***** in your older episodes you used to cover briefly what safety precautions you were taking... Would you be able to include more of that? Helps people understand you're a professional and know what you're doing. :)
It's a very odd iron, it has a smoke button but no steam. Perhaps it was made for that new line of fashion wear "Smoke Damage by chimney" the smoke button gives flames when the iron is over volted. The Smoke Damage range of fashion attire make for the perfect accompaniment to the new fragrance, "Chernobyl by Pripyat" Acid wash went out decades ago!
That large Xenon 300 PSI lamp is still rockin my knockers...to bad we'll never see the light of day when its finally turned on at max output....because we'll be blinded!!
Electronics in the future are going to watch this in horror and send back a terminator to....remove you and stop the electronic slaughter...but dont worry, the resistance will probably send back some grenade popping toastor or mega amp throwing kettle! I need more sleep....imagination over active again. :P Great videos, always eager to see more!
Ahh, You know you are in a good crowd when you bust a perfectly operational £5 iron and nobody gives a fuck, nobody bangs on about sending it to another county for them to use, nobody is complaining about the carbon emission from the energy used for the experiment, Gentlemen, I'm proud of you!
ur one of my fucking fav youtuber's im so glad to see you back around again.
M888 Y U DESTROY DIS PERFCLY GOD IRON
I BET THOSE IN AFRICA COULD HAVE HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD IRON!!!
AND I BET THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING.
SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Stay strong Photon ;)
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm still excited to see what further destruction the ultra big-daddy power supply is capable of. With a few "appetizers" out of the way now, I can bet the main course is going to be pretty fucking awesome! Cheers everyone.... -aphex
Ur new intro is awesome!! Haha photonicinduction :)
Haha, I love the face you make at the start of the vid, you look like a kid that got told he couldn't have candy
That's the best thing that could happen to an iron.
When the iron was beginning to open, it looks like a lowering drawbridge to hell.
Hope you are all well, as best regards to you.
Thanks for the video Andy, Hope your ok squire!
Great video as always Andy
Keep 'er lit man, thanks for the high voltage entertainment!
Hvdragonproduction Safety!
loving your work as always, but just out of interest, what are you doing to off set your carbon footprint?
Every time a video gets uploaded I get a little notification on my phone and I'm like a kid at Christmas. No matter what I'm doing home or work that video takes priority.
Thank you
Bless, lol priority, its not that urgent is it?
Yeah, def. I ain't going to wait I want to see thing pop haha.
Look forward to the next one
I know dem feels. These videos keep me in balance. They basically turn me into a zen-like master.
Brilliant !! 2.2 kW iron melt down. keep those video's coming mate.
Every time I see your comments, I feel I want to make a video all about you mate, in particular how nice your experiments are and a pleasant chap, proper family man, all the best mate.
***** Thanks Andy for your kind comment.

I love these videos, PLEASE keep overpowering eletronics and showing us since my mom doesn't let me do it at home hahaha
You need to test an electric shaver next. We made breakfast, we ironed our shirt now it's time to shave!
***** The shaver will probably eat your face and the toothbrush will knock all your teeth out so you never have to brush and shave again!
I think it will change it's tone when I give one 400hz
thank god for "in the name of science" for the best stuff on youtube
lol the more stick
Thanks for your kind compliments mate, you have an excellent channel and content yourself,
Cheers from me!

Looks like the manufacturer has a few weak spots to
*puts on sunglasses*
.. iron out. YYEEAAAAAHHHHH
***** get out
+Ben Landvatter
lol good one
Thanks for taking the time to do another video, fab to see you blowing things up again :)

Very good, It would have taken me a year to think up that much pun :)
oh the iron-y...
Paul Hancock
Stop _steel_ ing from me!
THIS IS SO PUN!
You guys are being so IRONic...these posts are just searing with puns.
+Photonicinduction one year later....
Excellent video.
What I don't understand is why plastic especially flammable plastic is used by manufacturers anywhere near anything that gets hot.
***** I know, but one would think at least flammable plastics would be banned for use with anything that produces heat, but then again the iron was made in China so go figure.

The simple way is to use metal like was done many years ago.
Plastics are used only because they are cheaper to make.
I keep hearing the neighbors say, "do you smell insulation burning", and the other neighbor said," yes, but I think it's worse than that!!! thanks mk
Props on the second power meter. I was giddy on the 10 second tea pot watching the power creep up. I saw an earlier comment that I agree with. It's time to get the HV transformer in and cause some mayhem. Love your vids man. Keep it up.
I dont know why but the calm "oh dear" after it burst into flames just cracks me up
Wow not what I expected!
Surprising amount of just plain fire sustained for a bit there.
Always a pleasure!
I remember those programmes back in the 1980's that warned us not to leave steam irons switched on while stood up, some would do what yours did in the video. Great vid.
wow
I don't have a huge power supply, but I tried this anyway. Now my shirts look great. Thanks Photon!
holy cow! in the beginning, I've never seen your face like that, wow, 2kw it was already overloaded, but great demonstration there mate, seeing how much power things could take is fun to do and watch, cheers mate;D
Love the video Photon!!!! You are loved as ever! Keep em comming!!
I watched your coconut explosion many times on Discovery's "you have been warned."
Since then i am enjoying your all videos.......... keep it up buddy.
"oh dear" XD love these videos
FLAMES !!! LOL Great vid as usual Andy & Polar !
someone get a petition for this guy to come back.
i want to see product testing.. photonic induction style.
I'm loving these "product testing" videos. :D
this is the easyway to open your iron for inspection!!
thanx photoninduction!!
Lovely! Always enjoy your vids, Glad to see you are posting more often.
I love when elements becomes violently unstable when being overvolted.
This iron's inside was burning for you and this iron was opening her heart to you lovely guy!
The household item rinse outs are awesome. I love the overdrive of 'safe' and regulated domestic appliances in the name of science ;-)
3:47 Jaw dropped
The carpet in that room looks very nice... I'm glad you kept it that way, at least during this video =P
Funny how many people love to watch things getting destroyed. :-)
Love the video as always, Andy - thanks for finding the time to put it together for the benefit of all mankind. I wonder how quick a George Foreman grill could cook my dinner if it was hooked up to your supply... Fortunately I like my chicken extra crispy! Andy.

Though something you should check is if you can iron a shirt with high voltage. Corona wind might do us a favour :P
I think you may have voided the warranty ;-)
Good to see you trooping on Mr Photon. As always, love your videos. Ya inspired me to bridge over to HNC Leccy Engineering and loving it! Finished my AC-DC Principles the day XD. Anyhoo fella, keep em coming ;)
Nice work fellas, nice work. The most relaxing way to do the chores.
"I won't flames not steam!" lol that made me crack up
Repackage it and ask for a refund. Love to see the store managers face.
You took the 1000C hot knifes to a whole new level with that one!! 1000C Iron OLOLOLOLOOOLOLLLLL
Smoke , sparks , flames , KA-BOOM oh my you two took this to a whole new level , LOL (lots of love) great!! video.
Seeing that made my day! I raise my glass to you sir.
That's a nice relaxing little fire, for only 5 quid. :-)
What started like an iron opened up and ended up looking like a mailbox
That may make a hole in my shirt, great experiment as always.
better a hole in my shirt than a shirt in my hole
It looks like a dragon breathing fire while slowly opening its mouth.
These videos make me feel a lot safer at home knowing how much energy is required to destroy these things :P
I noticed how well you framed the shot & when you cut to your tower/setup thing off screen. Very tasteful cuts those were.
I come to watch the Videos - but I'm always distracted by the guy - he’s SO fit!! x
With all of that smoke pouring out of that poor iron, you could have sent an S.O.S. by strategically waving a blanket into that smoke column, hahaha!!! :-)
Thats the teflon coating burning off. You would make a brilliant physics teacher, the kids would love you. Sadly your headmaster would fire you for breaching H + S regs and the pupils would be that pissed off theyd stage a walkout. Keep going!
Oh yeah a new video from Photonicinduction ! :D
Let the fun begin ^^
Hi photon great video as always I always look forward to your videos I want to see you put a CRT TV through your beast power supply please keep more coming
While I know that under normal use the iron wouldn't go into melt-down mode its kinda scary to think just how flammable most of that appliance is.
Now do a video of taking it back to the store with the receipt asking for another because this one is no good.
Nice!!!
Liking the new power supply too, good job :-)
In the end, it looked like a dying duck relaxing its beak.QUACK!
Cheers!
Mmm it farted and died, cheers mate :)
I laughed quite hard watching this vid. Nice one mate!
This looks like an imperial shuttle opening.
That iron never stood the chance against that mega power supply! It extremely popped under such a low voltage! :D
Give it back, and say, you want your money back 😂😂😂😂
GO PHOTON!
That Iron sure has been heated to the max! Bloody thing didn't even steam at 1200! One flick of the lever and you can safely say "I popped it!"
XD
Why not take it back to Sainsburys under guarantee (hidden camera of course!!) Tell them it's faulty. Would love to see there faces. Only problem is you did use it outside!! so out side of guarantee terms. Probably best not to mention the 400+ volts however.
thats a hot ironic mess lmfao keep em coming mate cheers
Poor iron didnt get a chance to iron a shirt before sacrificing its life to science!! LOLOLOL!!
Hahaha - awesome!!
It was a good idea to do that outdoors too. It looked like it had a teflon coating - that gives off really nasty fumes when burned.
Tell you what, I had this iron from sainsbury's basics when I lived in London, it was a great iron, did the job perfectly. Who needs a fancy 50 pounds iron?
Now if someone would be capable of arranging the donation of a Sybian for Photon to modify, and direct it's evaluation, he'd finally have that BAFTA Award he's deserved for all-too-long!!
The plastic on that iron burned for quite a long time. I wonder if it actually passed safety regulations regarding that, or if the one they tested was from a sample batch.
Haha, that iron was a little bit more flammable than you'd really want an iron to be :)
The amount of serious combustibles in consumer goods is worrying
Hey ***** in your older episodes you used to cover briefly what safety precautions you were taking... Would you be able to include more of that? Helps people understand you're a professional and know what you're doing. :)
photon in the house at the power supply controls once it's at 1200 watts: we don't do 1200 watts do we boys?
I'm ded
Proper burn in test love it keep em coming 😃
Hello old chum. I wish you health and happiness.
How nice would it have been to measure the temperature of the iron! When it started glowing you could probably iron the wrinkles out of chainmail!
Spontaneous iron combustion at its finest.
Here's an idea, extreme waffle iron test, 10 second waffles.
It's a very odd iron, it has a smoke button but no steam. Perhaps it was made for that new line of fashion wear "Smoke Damage by chimney" the smoke button gives flames when the iron is over volted. The Smoke Damage range of fashion attire make for the perfect accompaniment to the new fragrance, "Chernobyl by Pripyat" Acid wash went out decades ago!
In the name of science !! I love this word from photonic induction.. the best ever !!
Where's the fucking marshmallows then?
Kinda shocked its not made using self extinguishing plastic. So definitely educational to see how they handle this abuse.
You have flames ! Yes !
Another good video mate, quality !
Bloody brilliant xD, you're an inspiration to us all mate!
3:33 reminded me of that one scene in one of the King Kong movies where Kong ripped the jaw apart on the other creature.
2:10 "Just burning off the residue" yea right :D
That's a "noice" bit of residue.
Excellent as normal!
Shame you couldn't have had it producing steam at the same time though!
right on time as soon as she said we have melt down about less then a second before it exploded.
lmao @3:22 its like a castle gate lowering down!
I wasn't expecting such a quick meltdown. Looks like it's made of zinc n crap.
That large Xenon 300 PSI lamp is still rockin my knockers...to bad we'll never see the light of day when its finally turned on at max output....because we'll be blinded!!
It's still here awaiting a DC battery bank:)
Electronics in the future are going to watch this in horror and send back a terminator to....remove you and stop the electronic slaughter...but dont worry, the resistance will probably send back some grenade popping toastor or mega amp throwing kettle! I need more sleep....imagination over active again. :P
Great videos, always eager to see more!
It's an asset having a good imagination, let no one tell you otherwise :)
2:12 my grandmother and grandpa's iron
Darn. Got to return it. I'm sure that's covered under the warranty.
Another great video,cheers mate
What you guys need is a high speed camera
Now the iron was gonna set your clothes on fire when you iron it with high voltage iron
