I had the opportunity of playing with a similar tesla coil, with output of about 3A rms. One effect Styropyro didn't tell about is that at those currents, it starts warming your entire arm up by resisitive heating, which is quite an interesting experience x3 Amazing reaction video as always, thanks mate!

I was welding one very hot day, my gloves and I were dripping with sweat. When it came time to change welding rods I quickly understood how much power an arc welder uses. It's a good job I was young nd healthy and had just gone to the toilet.
The TIG welder I use at my job has high voltage / high frequency start that activates about a second to get arc started without touching the tip. My electrode holder was cracked up and I kept it taped up with black tape but one time the tape was getting pretty worn and the arc decided to jump through the crack into my bare hand. It is capable of jumping about 3- 4 inches and it made my arm feel like it was going to fly right off.
On the other hand I was welding in my driveway with a stick welder on rainy day. I would shut the welder off with my foot every time I put in a completely soaked electrode then turn it on to make a weld. I wore rubber boots as well and was very careful of what I touched when it was on. I didn't have any problems but sure had to pay attention.
I dropped out of college 1 credit away from graduating a 3 year degree in electrical engineering in Canada, so while I'm not technically any kind of electrician/EE, I've got a lot of the learning down (but please never ask me to simplify another circuit with a transistor in it, or ask me to write out a karnaugh map ever again). I'm amazed at how well Styropyro manages to explain some of the counterintuitive behavior of electricity.
@@HDReMaster Not even. It's like being in 1st position in a race, and then stopping a couple feet before the finish line and just walking off the track. Or playing football (🏈 not ⚽️) and totally outrunning the defense for the touchdown, but spiking the ball at the 5 yard line.
@@phenax1144 if i had failed one particular exam one more time I would have dropped out at 177/180 credits required for my bachelor's - had written my thesis already. would not recommend! luckily the pressure finally made me actually sit down and study, so I passed and finally got my degree xD
Years ago at union trade show I saw union electrical lineman doing demonstrations about how people put tons of nails into the lower parts of utility poles and how they had to try not to put holes in their insulating clothing climbing up the poles. They had residential type transformer hooked up to run thousands of volts at very low amps. It would arc up to about a foot distance. It was interesting watching young apprentice well insulated carrying a probe with all this voltage throwing this long arc burning hot dogs and setting things on fire.
it is hard to not be in constant shock and awe (no pun intended) when mr. Pyro uploads a video. Your face looks much like what I imagine mine did when I watched lolol.
I trained as an electrical fitter. I used to work installing and repairing 11kv transformers and switchgear along with 3 phase 415v distribution boards and I’ve just learned several new things from watching this video!
styropyro really knows how to make a great educational video. So if the frequency is high enough, you basically can’t be hurt by otherwise lethal currents. The standard 50 and 60 Hz AC from a wall outlet is well below that frequency and is obscenely lethal.
Keep in mind that you still have the thermal effects of dissipating that current flowing through your body. A lightning strike, for example, often leads to serious thermal burns even when the victim survives.
@@knurlgnar24another unusual phenomenon regarding lightning strike is that it does not have to actually hit you directly, if my information is correct, & pls forgive the vague details of this story. A farmer at work once told me of a friends funeral he had to attend, and that he had died from a lightning strike (technically), I dont believe he died immediately ( some hours or a day later), as he was a shortish distance (10m maybe, not sure) from where lightening had struck ground zero. The hospital staff dont really understand it properly either, but they believe it was like an EMF or EMP type force that was generated in his vicinity and can cause the human body electrical signals to just stuff up & die, and there is not really anything they can do in such rare cases.
at standard American voltage of 120, and even up to 240, the lethality doesn't so much come from the electricity frying you, but actually paralyzing your heart/lungs while the electricity flows through those parts. Deaths from residential power usually come from people GRABBING something thats live and are unable to let go. A brief brush across mains voltage, while not very fun, is rarely life threatening for a healthy adult.
@@evil17 There was a case where lightning struck the ground in the middle of a football game and although no-one was directly struck, several players dropped to the ground, injured. When lightning strikes the ground, it dissipates in a circular pattern and the voltage between your feet can be over 100,000V. So if you think lightning is going to strike near you even hitting a wooden or metal post, keeping your feet close together may save you from injury.
I'm in college learning electrical engineering, and it's pretty cool to see everything I've been learning out being talked about here. And it's also nice to have heard of everything he's mentioned and know all about it. It's funny seeing "L di/dt" and whatnot
Was at Spencer's as a teen and was enthralled by their plasma globes in the back. I touched it a few times but wanted to carefully brace my hand so I could get closer and closer to see how the electricity tugged towards my finger. Since they had the globe sitting on a metal shelf my now braced hand became grounded and it shocked the absolute shit out of me. A lesson learned that literally sparked my interest in electrical engineering.
this vid is amazing. in the past few months i have gone from not knowing the difference between AC and DC, to making function generators, and inverters using 731op amps and 555 and 4047 ICs. last week i finally grasped the concept of transformers. this week i have been learning about calculus and logarithms. a whole world of interesting videos has become open to me, i now understand what this bloke and styropyro are on about! if i were to be asked "is it volts or amps that kill?" i would reply -"yes, usually."
@@tappajaav i decided, out of nowhere, i wanted to make a model rocket with a flight computer in it. i launched one last week with an arduino nano in it, recording acceleration, rotation, pressure, and temp to an sd card!
Also in his video he says he keeps the touches to the crazy arc short because he wants to avoid internal burns since that kind of thing can heat things up pretty well even if he's not being electrocuted. I don't fully understand the whys and hows of the stuff he does but I've learned to just take his word for it. xD
Styropyro is awesome, he knows his stuff for sure, he would make a great teacher, even though I have quite a bit of experience with EET, bio, and chem, he explains things so easily, great vids. And you are ok too..... hehehe, naw, like yer vids as well.
I was thinking the same thing man. He is really smart isn't he. He makes it look like he's some maniac. But everything is well thought out. Would have been cool to have a teacher like him as a kid.
@@Spencerlayne Hehe, indeed, I had read that Dycks Formularie for reciepts and processes book as well at around same age, and tested a few from whatever salvaged items I coiuld find or make. There was a lot of interesting stuff in there, as well as a lot of unsafe and toxic compounds and recipes. Preferred poor mans james bond series of books by Kurt Saxon though, he also wrote Granddad's wonderful book of chemistry. Lots of 1800's fireworks, effects, and fun chemical magic as well. Have a great day sir.
High amperage DC is not to be played with , have been zapped twice first DC welder at 160 amps no glove leaking hand piece straight up left arm and had a burn on right thigh , could not use left arm for about 24 hours. The other one 30kva DC generator 220v blew me over 20 feet cleared 2 marine diesel main engines 3408 cat and put me out of action for a couple of days. I consider myself lucky to be alive after either one . That was about 35 years ago
The welder hits hard because of the energy stored in the inductor that allows for very high voltages. It's similar to the coil on an ignition system but can be a lot nastier due to the lower voltage, higher current, and higher joule pulses.
I was taught that the basic meaning of RMS is like this: Assuming a purely resistive load, an AC voltage of 1 Vrms will result in the same heating of the resistor as a DC voltage of 1V.
Exactly! That is also why you can not RMS values for shock severity determination outside the 30- 300 Hz regulations, as they have been realized with RMS. You can rather use the charge transfer definition and the frequency-charge-duration correction factors to calculate the frequency.
Great reaction video. Styropyro is a literal genius and has taught me so much. Everything he says is verifiable in my experience researching the topics discussed. Love his videos
It's a certain charge transfered in a specific time period called the cell time constant which depolarizes the cell membrane. For example: a shock of 30 µC feels the same with large contact areas whether it is given with 200 V, 330 V (85 nF) or higher voltages. A shock with 10 µC feels the same at 450 V as it does at 120 V, or at 1000 V. So the charge in every half wave depolarizes the cell membrane. So the thresholds will be positively correlated to the frequency. But the energy will be different and therefor heat and other effects will increase.
Bro. You could legit do a whole series breaking down the electrical dynamics of Styropyro videos. I found great value in this video for all the points you spoke on. Made googling some of this stuff way easier. ez sub.
The best part about it is; None of the apples will be that same kind. Apple-trees deliver vastly different apples from their parent trees and even from other seeds from the same apple. The only way to have the same kind of apples is through grafting.
I'm so tired of the amps vs volts debate. It's so much more complicated than that. Electricity is like anything else in life. If you don't handle or use it properly it might kill you. If you spray someone in the face with a water hose for a long time and they drown, did they die from the pressure of the water that prevented them from breathing or was it the volume of the water that ended up in their lungs?
10:00 I wish he elaborated on "hooked up to the Tesla coil". What I don't see is any meter hooked up to the TOP of the Tesla coil. What is the circuit?
I've played with some serious Tesla coils and he's a legit mad scientist with the stuff. Beautiful construction techniques of massively deadly apparatus.
Volts x Amps = Watts. Watts x time = Joules. Styropyro has a Bachelor's in Chemistry, which outranks an electrician in terms of academic brownie points, though his electrial knowledge is self-taught. But he's a very clever guy, and has pissed about with high-power lasers for years yet still has vision in both eyes! That's a mark of a great physicist (he also did some research into MRI machines blah etc). He knows exactly what he's saying, and he's very good at getting it across to a layman audience, partly because his immense enthsiasm and love for the subject shows through. He's also pretty hot.
14:19 Yeah, it’s crazy how you can’t feel electricity at extremely high frequencies. ElectroBOOM actually made a video that was based on pain vs. frequency. In that video, the pain peaked at around 2000 Hz, and dropped significantly at 10 kHz
The amps or volts debate is like saying that falling doesn't kill you, but stopping fast does. It might not be exactly the same, but you're not gonna stop really fast unless you fall so there isn't one without the other and it's stupid to consider only one of them in a general sense as people do when they say stuff like "duh amps kill".
Teaching guitar the tongue test was the easiest way to test 9V batteries. Pedals and active pickups all use 9V power. I once had a student try it who sparked it off his braces. I then stopped doing it in front of students.
Just like there's different kinds of radiation, if a neutron beam is strong enough, it mostly just passes through you, slow ones won't, but a week alpha source that can be blocked by paper can kill you really fast if ingested. Particle or electromagnetic, neutral or charged, frequency/energy level, what tissue is being exposed... It's not as straight up as one might think. Same with electricity.
Electricity is fun. Personally I love pranking people that try and use those prank gum sticks on me, only for them to try it themselves when I don't react to the shock.
Sticking a piece of aluminum tape on a plasma globe will cause it to shock the piss out of you. Is that because it effectively lowers the voltage frequency? Or does it store current like a capacitor?
With a 240VAC (single or 415V 3P) supply at 50hZ Amps is a good proxy for the outcome - for different voltages and frequencies, the power relationship with the time domain is key...
Mate I’m an electrician too (only qualified for 2 years) but some of this befuddled me too. I guess we only really held onto the practical lessons from trade school to use on the job and didn’t go as thorough with the theory. Great video, and nice to know I’m not alone when it comes to my average understanding of the whole electrical field
There is a video called "listening to radio with grass" that illustrates what's going on here. A bunch of bored people break into an AM broadcast antenna site and put plants on the antenna, which is insulated from ground and carries high voltage at high frequency. The plants instantly burn, forming an arc speaker that makes the modulated sound audible. They're wearing gloves, thinking that they're protected from the voltage, but at such high frequencies the gloves just create a capacitor and the voltage goes straight through. They don't instantly seize up and die because of the high frequency (500+ kHz for an AM broadcast), but they soon feel the pain from the heat generated within their body by the current passing through them. So they're being cooked from the inside and I'm going to guess they felt this for a very long time afterwards and may have had permanent tissue damage.
Talking about AM sites. A company I still work for has a story about a bloke that was going to end his life by jumping from the top of a AM tower in Australia. He climed over the outer security fencing. crossed a very large block of land. the climbed over the inner RF security fencing. The he reached out in order to grab the tower to climb up. one leg about to be set down on the tower. Using his body he grounded the antenna. Running 200,000 Watts RF. left ankle and foot dissapears, the wound instantly cautorizes, he falls to the ground. with great difficulty climbs back over the RF security fencing. Then back over the paddock on one foot. Cimbs back over the perimiter fence and drives himself to hospital. Moral to this story : NEVER EVER go near a AM radio tower. the tower itself is the antenna. several thousand volts in energy and a potential of hundreds of thousands of amps available for a instant. Making a bit of grass into a modulator may well be the last thing you hear. Great Video. Thanks. Peter W. Australia.
Tbh this is the only reaction content I'll watch. You actually give educated feedback. It makes the videos more interesting. As opposed to the usual "react" content, where its just a streamer who knows as little as i do watching it. Also, you know Drake is crazy when he laughs every time he gets a shock 😂
OSHA lists (approx) 600v as the point that electricity will breach your (relatively high resistant depending on conditions like sweat) skin and then be able to use your (very low resistant) iron rich blood as a path of conduction, so hooking up a 120/240v service to a house there are different parameters involved as in reference to working on 4,000+ voltage high tension wires......
@@tappajaav But the problem with AC is that it will take them back every negative cycle. While with DC you have to make sure that you get polarity right.
a bit over 30 years ago, I landed myself backwards about six feet playing with around 20KV pulsed HV-DC at unknown current potential(large vehicle/racing ignition coil) and leyden jars. it blasted through a hand and left leg, which in turn catapulted me backwards from end of bed to slammed against headboard half vertical, which also knocked over the table and made the junk producing the HV stop. it was likely a good thing it was all on a cheap folding table, but then again, it's the metal legs and outer rim that got me. likely a good thing I had very strong legs and was skinny from lots of bicycle riding.
I learned everything about RMS when I was building stereo systems for cars. A lot of amp makers will only advertise "peek" and then you have to read the fine print that is like...yeah, for 1 second, lol, until the capacitors drain.
If an appliance is switched on, the neutral wire has current running through it. So would any risk to touching it depend on how many amps the appliance uses, just as it would be for the hot wire? Thanks
This is the best summary of what actually makes for lethality in electricity. People think they know the answer. Current kills, and of story! Some will say. But wait, Voltage makes current flow. So it must be the voltage! No, there has to be a source of current that a voltage difference is going to make flow. But I love how he gets the total charge available into the lethality. Awesome when he got the static electricity spark. The Tesla Coil blew my mind. He had amps going into his hand. I hoped he was being careful. But awesome video. This kid is highly knowledgeable. An excellent summary.
Like the gentleman that was reacting to your video it's taught me things i didn't know either we didn't discuss it in my college classes or we skimmed over it but little detail overall. Possibly we might have hit on the subjects if i had been working on a PhD or something.
The secondary of High frequency supplies like Tesla coils tend not to electrocute. The sensitivity of the body to current is frequency dependent with the greatest hazard been around the power frequence range. However the spark is hot and can burn. However the primary of the coil I built was energized with 2000 volts DC and that is DANGEROUS. I made a video on it :)
3:42 Nerves are not electrical; they are chemical. A nerve impulse is a ionic cascade involving calcium and potassium ions. So there is a detectable electrical signal, but that's a *side effect* of the ionization and de-ionizations taking place. Still, imposing an external electric current is likely to interfere with this ionization process.
Technically it's all chemical. All of it. Even power generation is a chemical reaction happening inside the generator. Not a popular opinion, but I'm right. It's funny how anyone would agree that a battery supplies power through a chemical reaction but a generator supplies power through.. phenomenon! It's a phenomenon. In other words, magic! Lmao.
@seanhill4911 no chemical change happens in a generator. And the the non ideal chemical changes like oxidation don't contribute to it's electrical power. Permanent magnets don't undergo a chemical change when used, the may shift internally but any chemical effect it's pretty much unimportant. Electromagnetism requirs no traditionally defined "chemical" anything. Electromagnetism is not a chemical phenomenon nor is the opposite true. They interact in some scenarios but a generator just turning from kinetic energy is not chemical
@@seanhill4911 "is a chemical reaction happening inside the generator. " That would be inside the combustion chamber of Carnot cycle engine that drives the generator itself, more properly called a dynamo since some people use the term "generator" to include the combination of engine and dynamo.

The 30 mA calibration for residual current protection is based on 240Vac ( for Australia ) interestingly this is rated much lower for surgery theater since dry skin act as an isolator yes ! ....they did electrocute dead bodies to work it out
"The 30 mA calibration for residual current protection is based on 240Vac" It is solely based on frequency and current not on voltage. "interestingly this is rated much lower for surgery theater since dry skin act as an isolator " These are microshock rated. "yes ! ....they did electrocute dead bodies to work it out" You can not electrocute dead bodies because: 1. They are already dead. 2. They don't have the same properties as living bodies 3. The tests have been performed on living humans and animals, both in Vitro and in Vivo.
i remember learning about coulombs (the unit, not the law) by doing the math to calculate the coulombs in a static shock vs a lightning strike. its tempting to want to simplify electricity down a single catchy phrase or sentence to kind of cover all of the safety, but really to be accurate you can't do that. you have to discuss resistance, capacitance, charge, voltage, direct current, alternating current, impedance, and power. and you might as well toss in RF power too because most people don't really understand how RF transmissions work (including RF engineers... its black magic). Will 5G cook you? No, but there are RF transmissions that can cook you. or they may only cook part of you. It's just too complicated to give a simple throw away one size fits all answer.
Styropyro has always seemed to me like Anakin Skywalker before Attack of the Clones, but with Revenge of the Sith hair 😂 and that seems to make it even better
I'm so glad I found your reaction video All the half truths and misinformation this video had was doing my head in 30mA is just a known figure we know we have to avoid passing through our chests / hearts etc even though there would be multiple conduction paths thru body Just incase there's only one path let's limit it to that Regardless of what the voltage ,ambient conditions are and resistance of any paths involved are we need to avoid anything that results in 30mA thru body If you are in a pool it doesn't take much voltage applied between two terminals one either side of a swimming pool to make you collapse and drown Low voltage but it's still just 30mA across chest So 30mA is a constant that doesn't change (much) so is the best UNIT to base it and any safety device on Take anything in the vid with a grain of salt - I wouldn't trust my life on anything stated in the original vid and throw proven conventional electrical principles out the window ! Electricity:- it's all fun and games until someone gets electrocuted and dies then it's bloody hilarious !! Its all a laugh
My opinion when it comes to it it don't matter how many volts how many ants how many watts either hurts for a minute or you never feel a thing in her sweeping you up
I take issue. He made it seem that since the frequency "is too fast for you nerves to register" that you don't get electrocuted. I disagree. Electrocution is caused by the dissipation of power. Power is Joules per second. Voltage is Joules per Coulomb. Current is Coulombs per second. Multiply them and you end up with Joules per second (watts). The Problem with multiplying current times voltage in AC circuits is that they don't have to be in phase with each other. Peak current can happen at a different point in time than peak voltage. He might have 1 amp RMS. But the peak current (I think it was 3 amps) is not at the same point in time as he has peak voltage. At that point in time, voltage might be close to zero, for example. Voltage could even be negative while current is positive leading to a calculation of negative power. Clearly the coil isn't producing its own power. It's consuming power from his source. So that point where he says "a million watts" Do you think his meter really spun out more than a megawatt in that second (because that's where it would have come from)
4:01 take one of these small (not car battery cause shorting it would burn you heavily) 12V batteries on your tounge, and you will see a flash of light in your eyes. I think it overrides the nerve signals of your eye or something
When I was in my 20's I serial chained 9 volt batteries together to figure out how many volts you need to jump through dry skin, wet skin, etc. That's how I learned that our skin cells are dead, least the upper surface, so there are more ohms. I found at the time, I would start feeling tingling in my skin when I got to about 60 volts.
Can you explain tasers for us I have one that supposedly puts out 20,000 v but I don’t feel it. I have measured it before and it’s reads a little bit more than that
@@thinklist I was using the same setup styro did it went over 20k v but it was showing double the amount my dad says that their is a possibility that the taser is messed up or I just have a resistance to the pain from it
It comes down to the conductivity of the skin. Thick calloused areas are very high resistance and areas washed with certain soaps or where you've used lotions will create a residue thats nonconductive. try zapping an obscure area on your body like the back of your neck, or take a sharpie and make a mark on your skin then use a fine sandpaper until the mark comes off, i guarantee that area will feel the full brunt of the shock. Thats the method needed to get good EKG lead contact.

It's a good job I was young nd healthy and had just gone to the toilet.
Oh damn! Yep that can happen

Welding leathers soaked in sweat will light you up for sure. Not enough voltage to be fatal, just enough to fuckin hurt.
The TIG welder I use at my job has high voltage / high frequency start that activates about a second to get arc started without touching the tip.
My electrode holder was cracked up and I kept it taped up with black tape but one time the tape was getting pretty worn and the arc decided to jump through the crack into my bare hand.
It is capable of jumping about 3- 4 inches and it made my arm feel like it was going to fly right off.
On the other hand I was welding in my driveway with a stick welder on rainy day.
I would shut the welder off with my foot every time I put in a completely soaked electrode then turn it on to make a weld. I wore rubber boots as well and was very careful of what I touched when it was on.
I didn't have any problems but sure had to pay attention.
I dropped out of college 1 credit away from graduating a 3 year degree in electrical engineering in Canada, so while I'm not technically any kind of electrician/EE, I've got a lot of the learning down (but please never ask me to simplify another circuit with a transistor in it, or ask me to write out a karnaugh map ever again).

@@HDReMaster Not even. It's like being in 1st position in a race, and then stopping a couple feet before the finish line and just walking off the track. Or playing football (🏈 not ⚽️) and totally outrunning the defense for the touchdown, but spiking the ball at the 5 yard line.
I refuse to belive that anyone would do that

Why did you drop out so close to finish?
@@phenax1144 if i had failed one particular exam one more time I would have dropped out at 177/180 credits required for my bachelor's - had written my thesis already. would not recommend! luckily the pressure finally made me actually sit down and study, so I passed and finally got my degree xD
Years ago at union trade show I saw union electrical lineman doing demonstrations about how people put tons of nails into the lower parts of utility poles and how they had to try not to put holes in their insulating clothing climbing up the poles.
They had residential type transformer hooked up to run thousands of volts at very low amps. It would arc up to about a foot distance. It was interesting watching young apprentice well insulated carrying a probe with all this voltage throwing this long arc burning hot dogs and setting things on fire.
Sound very cool
Appreciate how cool and humble this channel is and definitely enjoy watching him cover Styropyro!
4:24 "For starters" yep, that's what that battery is for!
it is hard to not be in constant shock and awe (no pun intended) when mr. Pyro uploads a video. Your face looks much like what I imagine mine did when I watched lolol.
He is just so crazy
I trained as an electrical fitter. I used to work installing and repairing 11kv transformers and switchgear along with 3 phase 415v distribution boards and I’ve just learned several new things from watching this video!
styropyro really knows how to make a great educational video.
So if the frequency is high enough, you basically can’t be hurt by otherwise lethal currents. The standard 50 and 60 Hz AC from a wall outlet is well below that frequency and is obscenely lethal.
Keep in mind that you still have the thermal effects of dissipating that current flowing through your body. A lightning strike, for example, often leads to serious thermal burns even when the victim survives.
@@knurlgnar24another unusual phenomenon regarding lightning strike is that it does not have to actually hit you directly, if my information is correct, & pls forgive the vague details of this story.
A farmer at work once told me of a friends funeral he had to attend, and that he had died from a lightning strike (technically), I dont believe he died immediately ( some hours or a day later), as he was a shortish distance (10m maybe, not sure) from where lightening had struck ground zero. The hospital staff dont really understand it properly either, but they believe it was like an EMF or EMP type force that was generated in his vicinity and can cause the human body electrical signals to just stuff up & die, and there is not really anything they can do in such rare cases.
at standard American voltage of 120, and even up to 240, the lethality doesn't so much come from the electricity frying you, but actually paralyzing your heart/lungs while the electricity flows through those parts. Deaths from residential power usually come from people GRABBING something thats live and are unable to let go. A brief brush across mains voltage, while not very fun, is rarely life threatening for a healthy adult.
@@evil17 There was a case where lightning struck the ground in the middle of a football game and although no-one was directly struck, several players dropped to the ground, injured. When lightning strikes the ground, it dissipates in a circular pattern and the voltage between your feet can be over 100,000V. So if you think lightning is going to strike near you even hitting a wooden or metal post, keeping your feet close together may save you from injury.
@@billc2052 perfect explanation
I do not always enjoy reaction videos, but yours are some of them that I enjoy. Even if I already saw Styropyros video a long time ago.
Glad you like them mate
I'm in college learning electrical engineering, and it's pretty cool to see everything I've been learning out being talked about here. And it's also nice to have heard of everything he's mentioned and know all about it. It's funny seeing "L di/dt" and whatnot
Was at Spencer's as a teen and was enthralled by their plasma globes in the back. I touched it a few times but wanted to carefully brace my hand so I could get closer and closer to see how the electricity tugged towards my finger. Since they had the globe sitting on a metal shelf my now braced hand became grounded and it shocked the absolute shit out of me. A lesson learned that literally sparked my interest in electrical engineering.
this vid is amazing. in the past few months i have gone from not knowing the difference between AC and DC, to making function generators, and inverters using 731op amps and 555 and 4047 ICs. last week i finally grasped the concept of transformers. this week i have been learning about calculus and logarithms. a whole world of interesting videos has become open to me, i now understand what this bloke and styropyro are on about!
if i were to be asked "is it volts or amps that kill?" i would reply -"yes, usually."
Awesome to hear that you've been learning a lot!
Are you fiddling in electricity just for fun or have you worked towards goals of some sort?
@@tappajaav i decided, out of nowhere, i wanted to make a model rocket with a flight computer in it. i launched one last week with an arduino nano in it, recording acceleration, rotation, pressure, and temp to an sd card!
Also in his video he says he keeps the touches to the crazy arc short because he wants to avoid internal burns since that kind of thing can heat things up pretty well even if he's not being electrocuted. I don't fully understand the whys and hows of the stuff he does but I've learned to just take his word for it. xD
Styropyro is awesome, he knows his stuff for sure, he would make a great teacher, even though I have quite a bit of experience with EET, bio, and chem, he explains things so easily, great vids. And you are ok too..... hehehe, naw, like yer vids as well.
In his 3rd video about a 1933 chemistry book, he begins the video by saying that he had even taught chemistry.
@@stgigamovementat a university no less (if I remember correctly)
I was thinking the same thing man. He is really smart isn't he. He makes it look like he's some maniac. But everything is well thought out. Would have been cool to have a teacher like him as a kid.
@@Spencerlayne Hehe, indeed, I had read that Dycks Formularie for reciepts and processes book as well at around same age, and tested a few from whatever salvaged items I coiuld find or make. There was a lot of interesting stuff in there, as well as a lot of unsafe and toxic compounds and recipes. Preferred poor mans james bond series of books by Kurt Saxon though, he also wrote Granddad's wonderful book of chemistry. Lots of 1800's fireworks, effects, and fun chemical magic as well. Have a great day sir.
I learned a lot from this video, I love this series
Thanks mate 👌
I have finally discovered "It's The Amps, Not The Volts".
Such a profound concept.
High amperage DC is not to be played with , have been zapped twice first DC welder at 160 amps no glove leaking hand piece straight up left arm and had a burn on right thigh , could not use left arm for about 24 hours. The other one 30kva DC generator 220v blew me over 20 feet cleared 2 marine diesel main engines 3408 cat and put me out of action for a couple of days. I consider myself lucky to be alive after either one . That was about 35 years ago
Yep it’s no joke
The welder hits hard because of the energy stored in the inductor that allows for very high voltages. It's similar to the coil on an ignition system but can be a lot nastier due to the lower voltage, higher current, and higher joule pulses.
Did you buy a lotto ticket after, I would have.
I was taught that the basic meaning of RMS is like this: Assuming a purely resistive load, an AC voltage of 1 Vrms will result in the same heating of the resistor as a DC voltage of 1V.
Exactly! That is also why you can not RMS values for shock severity determination outside the 30- 300 Hz regulations, as they have been realized with RMS. You can rather use the charge transfer definition and the frequency-charge-duration correction factors to calculate the frequency.
Great reaction video. Styropyro is a literal genius and has taught me so much. Everything he says is verifiable in my experience researching the topics discussed. Love his videos
I freaking love your energy bro, very contagious!
I appreciate that!
I usually dont care for reaction content, i'd rather watch the content itself. but you add a nice educational flavor that i can appreciate.
Thanks mate. That’s the aim
14:21 this actually makes sense based on what I have learned in my Brain Computer Interfaces class -- because of the way the sodium potassium pump
It's a certain charge transfered in a specific time period called the cell time constant which depolarizes the cell membrane. For example: a shock of 30 µC feels the same with large contact areas whether it is given with 200 V, 330 V (85 nF) or higher voltages. A shock with 10 µC feels the same at 450 V as it does at 120 V, or at 1000 V.
So the charge in every half wave depolarizes the cell membrane. So the thresholds will be positively correlated to the frequency. But the energy will be different and therefor heat and other effects will increase.
Now I understand the original video because of you!!! You fulfilled the gaps!!! Thankssssssss
No problem mate 👍
Bro. You could legit do a whole series breaking down the electrical dynamics of Styropyro videos.
I found great value in this video for all the points you spoke on. Made googling some of this stuff way easier.
ez sub.
Dudes gonna have an apple orchard in a few years.
😆🍎
The best part about it is;
None of the apples will be that same kind.
Apple-trees deliver vastly different apples from their parent trees and even from other seeds from the same apple. The only way to have the same kind of apples is through grafting.
Love your styropyro reaction videos, always puts a smile on my face.
I'm so tired of the amps vs volts debate. It's so much more complicated than that. Electricity is like anything else in life. If you don't handle or use it properly it might kill you. If you spray someone in the face with a water hose for a long time and they drown, did they die from the pressure of the water that prevented them from breathing or was it the volume of the water that ended up in their lungs?
It is all about the context, not content alone. That's right!
Same with wine fermentations, Carbon Dioxide will fuck you up, so will hydrogen sulfide.
10:00 I wish he elaborated on "hooked up to the Tesla coil". What I don't see is any meter hooked up to the TOP of the Tesla coil. What is the circuit?
I've played with some serious Tesla coils and he's a legit mad scientist with the stuff. Beautiful construction techniques of massively deadly apparatus.
Volts x Amps = Watts. Watts x time = Joules. Styropyro has a Bachelor's in Chemistry, which outranks an electrician in terms of academic brownie points, though his electrial knowledge is self-taught. But he's a very clever guy, and has pissed about with high-power lasers for years yet still has vision in both eyes! That's a mark of a great physicist (he also did some research into MRI machines blah etc). He knows exactly what he's saying, and he's very good at getting it across to a layman audience, partly because his immense enthsiasm and love for the subject shows through.
He's also pretty hot.
14:19 Yeah, it’s crazy how you can’t feel electricity at extremely high frequencies. ElectroBOOM actually made a video that was based on pain vs. frequency. In that video, the pain peaked at around 2000 Hz, and dropped significantly at 10 kHz
4:55 Superconductors actually do have zero resistance
15:04
Thanks to you I could actually understand one of his videos 💯
👌
The amps or volts debate is like saying that falling doesn't kill you, but stopping fast does. It might not be exactly the same, but you're not gonna stop really fast unless you fall so there isn't one without the other and it's stupid to consider only one of them in a general sense as people do when they say stuff like "duh amps kill".
Teaching guitar the tongue test was the easiest way to test 9V batteries. Pedals and active pickups all use 9V power.
I once had a student try it who sparked it off his braces. I then stopped doing it in front of students.
Stryo is awesome! The bit about tossing Ohms Law out the window is funny but a bit miss leading; its more like Ohms law is incomplete.
What he means is that V=IR is for DC, while Ohm's law for AC deals with phase shift and such
"Ohm's suggestion"
One of the most important things an electrician can have is a good "fuck I almost died" laugh.
I highly recommend his "100 car batteries wired in parallel" video for it's shear insanity and entertainment value.
Have you seen the electroboom video where he graphs AC frequency versus pain of electric shock?
Just like there's different kinds of radiation, if a neutron beam is strong enough, it mostly just passes through you, slow ones won't, but a week alpha source that can be blocked by paper can kill you really fast if ingested. Particle or electromagnetic, neutral or charged, frequency/energy level, what tissue is being exposed... It's not as straight up as one might think.
Same with electricity.
Electricity is fun. Personally I love pranking people that try and use those prank gum sticks on me, only for them to try it themselves when I don't react to the shock.
Sticking a piece of aluminum tape on a plasma globe will cause it to shock the piss out of you. Is that because it effectively lowers the voltage frequency? Or does it store current like a capacitor?
😆 I suspect it’s creating a capacitive effect
I love that your name is bubu
My guess is that it increases the size of the contact patch. Instead of just touching 1cm^2, you're touching the area of the foil
With a 240VAC (single or 415V 3P) supply at 50hZ Amps is a good proxy for the outcome - for different voltages and frequencies, the power relationship with the time domain is key...
13:10
What if we held hands and skipped across Eletric Field?
Mate I’m an electrician too (only qualified for 2 years) but some of this befuddled me too. I guess we only really held onto the practical lessons from trade school to use on the job and didn’t go as thorough with the theory. Great video, and nice to know I’m not alone when it comes to my average understanding of the whole electrical field
Start teaching yourself about radios. Get your Ham license. You will learn so much.
There is a video called "listening to radio with grass" that illustrates what's going on here.
A bunch of bored people break into an AM broadcast antenna site and put plants on the antenna, which is insulated from ground and carries high voltage at high frequency. The plants instantly burn, forming an arc speaker that makes the modulated sound audible. They're wearing gloves, thinking that they're protected from the voltage, but at such high frequencies the gloves just create a capacitor and the voltage goes straight through. They don't instantly seize up and die because of the high frequency (500+ kHz for an AM broadcast), but they soon feel the pain from the heat generated within their body by the current passing through them. So they're being cooked from the inside and I'm going to guess they felt this for a very long time afterwards and may have had permanent tissue damage.
Talking about AM sites. A company I still work for has a story about a bloke that was going to end his life by jumping from the top of a AM tower in Australia. He climed over the outer security fencing. crossed a very large block of land. the climbed over the inner RF security fencing. The he reached out in order to grab the tower to climb up. one leg about to be set down on the tower. Using his body he grounded the antenna. Running 200,000 Watts RF. left ankle and foot dissapears, the wound instantly cautorizes, he falls to the ground. with great difficulty climbs back over the RF security fencing. Then back over the paddock on one foot. Cimbs back over the perimiter fence and drives himself to hospital. Moral to this story : NEVER EVER go near a AM radio tower. the tower itself is the antenna. several thousand volts in energy and a potential of hundreds of thousands of amps available for a instant. Making a bit of grass into a modulator may well be the last thing you hear. Great Video. Thanks. Peter W. Australia.
@@PappazekoI thought this was gonna end with the equivalent of a human radio creepypasta. Glad he lived to tell his tale.
Tbh this is the only reaction content I'll watch. You actually give educated feedback. It makes the videos more interesting. As opposed to the usual "react" content, where its just a streamer who knows as little as i do watching it.
Also, you know Drake is crazy when he laughs every time he gets a shock 😂
Cheers mate. Yep he is a crazy dude
Yes … love it!! Danger ⚠️ high voltage
Great vid mate. Love drake. Really wish Andy would come back ( photonic )
OSHA lists (approx) 600v as the point that electricity will breach your (relatively high resistant depending on conditions like sweat) skin and then be able to use your (very low resistant) iron rich blood as a path of conduction, so hooking up a 120/240v service to a house there are different parameters involved as in reference to working on 4,000+ voltage high tension wires......
I love to stick my finger in outlets and I use steel rods to strike overhead power lines. I hope to get a lot of fresh electrons.
Invest in really long rod so you can touch the high voltage transfer lines.
Now THOSE should give you many electrons
@@tappajaav But the problem with AC is that it will take them back every negative cycle. While with DC you have to make sure that you get polarity right.
a bit over 30 years ago, I landed myself backwards about six feet playing with around 20KV pulsed HV-DC at unknown current potential(large vehicle/racing ignition coil) and leyden jars.
it blasted through a hand and left leg, which in turn catapulted me backwards from end of bed to slammed against headboard half vertical, which also knocked over the table and made the junk producing the HV stop. it was likely a good thing it was all on a cheap folding table, but then again, it's the metal legs and outer rim that got me.
likely a good thing I had very strong legs and was skinny from lots of bicycle riding.
I learned everything about RMS when I was building stereo systems for cars. A lot of amp makers will only advertise "peek" and then you have to read the fine print that is like...yeah, for 1 second, lol, until the capacitors drain.
If an appliance is switched on, the neutral wire has current running through it. So would any risk to touching it depend on how many amps the appliance uses, just as it would be for the hot wire? Thanks
This is the best summary of what actually makes for lethality in electricity. People think they know the answer. Current kills, and of story! Some will say. But wait, Voltage makes current flow. So it must be the voltage! No, there has to be a source of current that a voltage difference is going to make flow. But I love how he gets the total charge available into the lethality. Awesome when he got the static electricity spark. The Tesla Coil blew my mind. He had amps going into his hand. I hoped he was being careful. But awesome video. This kid is highly knowledgeable. An excellent summary.
Good heavens that birb got freaking *smoked*
😆 I know right
Like the gentleman that was reacting to your video it's taught me things i didn't know either we didn't discuss it in my college classes or we skimmed over it but little detail overall. Possibly we might have hit on the subjects if i had been working on a PhD or something.
The secondary of High frequency supplies like Tesla coils tend not to electrocute. The sensitivity of the body to current is frequency dependent with the greatest hazard been around the power frequence range. However the spark is hot and can burn. However the primary of the coil I built was energized with 2000 volts DC and that is DANGEROUS. I made a video on it :)
3:42 Nerves are not electrical; they are chemical. A nerve impulse is a ionic cascade involving calcium and potassium ions. So there is a detectable electrical signal, but that's a *side effect* of the ionization and de-ionizations taking place. Still, imposing an external electric current is likely to interfere with this ionization process.
Technically it's all chemical. All of it. Even power generation is a chemical reaction happening inside the generator. Not a popular opinion, but I'm right. It's funny how anyone would agree that a battery supplies power through a chemical reaction but a generator supplies power through.. phenomenon! It's a phenomenon. In other words, magic! Lmao.
@seanhill4911 no chemical change happens in a generator. And the the non ideal chemical changes like oxidation don't contribute to it's electrical power. Permanent magnets don't undergo a chemical change when used, the may shift internally but any chemical effect it's pretty much unimportant. Electromagnetism requirs no traditionally defined "chemical" anything. Electromagnetism is not a chemical phenomenon nor is the opposite true. They interact in some scenarios but a generator just turning from kinetic energy is not chemical
@@seanhill4911 "is a chemical reaction happening inside the generator. "
That would be inside the combustion chamber of Carnot cycle engine that drives the generator itself, more properly called a dynamo since some people use the term "generator" to include the combination of engine and dynamo.

I once got shocked by seeing how far I could plug in the cord with my fingers in-between live and neutral
for anyone wondering what those lights were that drake was playing with at 14:10, they're called 'nixie tubes'.
The 30 mA calibration for residual current protection is based on 240Vac ( for Australia )
interestingly this is rated much lower for surgery theater since dry skin act as an isolator
yes ! ....they did electrocute dead bodies to work it out
"The 30 mA calibration for residual current protection is based on 240Vac"
It is solely based on frequency and current not on voltage.
"interestingly this is rated much lower for surgery theater since dry skin act as an isolator "
These are microshock rated.
"yes ! ....they did electrocute dead bodies to work it out"
You can not electrocute dead bodies because:
1. They are already dead.
2. They don't have the same properties as living bodies
3. The tests have been performed on living humans and animals, both in Vitro and in Vivo.

Bro is caught up on his Styropyro lore 💀
I hope to see more of your content, dude. 👍🏾
i remember learning about coulombs (the unit, not the law) by doing the math to calculate the coulombs in a static shock vs a lightning strike. its tempting to want to simplify electricity down a single catchy phrase or sentence to kind of cover all of the safety, but really to be accurate you can't do that. you have to discuss resistance, capacitance, charge, voltage, direct current, alternating current, impedance, and power. and you might as well toss in RF power too because most people don't really understand how RF transmissions work (including RF engineers... its black magic). Will 5G cook you? No, but there are RF transmissions that can cook you. or they may only cook part of you. It's just too complicated to give a simple throw away one size fits all answer.
So the steel rods "safe" you like a chainmail with hihmgher voltages?
You look a lot like Fixit Felix from Wreck-it Ralph! Also, great video mate! styropyro is a legend. 👍👍
What a top tier video to react to, v exciting
Thanks mate
4:02 all 3 of us licked the 9v battery lol
Styropyro has always seemed to me like Anakin Skywalker before Attack of the Clones, but with Revenge of the Sith hair 😂 and that seems to make it even better
I still remember having to broomstick a newbie that was stuck to a low volt line when I was still in school for Electrical.
That was great! Also, shout out to Styropyro!
I'm so glad I found your reaction video
All the half truths and misinformation this video had was doing my head in
30mA is just a known figure we know we have to avoid passing through our chests / hearts etc even though there would be multiple conduction paths thru body
Just incase there's only one path let's limit it to that
Regardless of what the voltage ,ambient conditions are and resistance of any paths involved are we need to avoid anything that results in 30mA thru body
If you are in a pool it doesn't take much voltage applied between two terminals one either side of a swimming pool to make you collapse and drown
Low voltage but it's still just 30mA across chest
So 30mA is a constant that doesn't change (much) so is the best UNIT to base it and any safety device on
Take anything in the vid with a grain of salt - I wouldn't trust my life on anything stated in the original vid and throw proven conventional electrical principles out the window !
Electricity:- it's all fun and games until someone gets electrocuted and dies then it's bloody hilarious !!
Its all a laugh
My opinion when it comes to it it don't matter how many volts how many ants how many watts either hurts for a minute or you never feel a thing in her sweeping you up
I have finally discovered "It's The Amps, Not The Volts".
Such a profound concept.
I take issue. He made it seem that since the frequency "is too fast for you nerves to register" that you don't get electrocuted. I disagree. Electrocution is caused by the dissipation of power. Power is Joules per second. Voltage is Joules per Coulomb. Current is Coulombs per second. Multiply them and you end up with Joules per second (watts).
The Problem with multiplying current times voltage in AC circuits is that they don't have to be in phase with each other. Peak current can happen at a different point in time than peak voltage. He might have 1 amp RMS. But the peak current (I think it was 3 amps) is not at the same point in time as he has peak voltage. At that point in time, voltage might be close to zero, for example. Voltage could even be negative while current is positive leading to a calculation of negative power. Clearly the coil isn't producing its own power. It's consuming power from his source. So that point where he says "a million watts" Do you think his meter really spun out more than a megawatt in that second (because that's where it would have come from)
4:01 take one of these small (not car battery cause shorting it would burn you heavily) 12V batteries on your tounge, and you will see a flash of light in your eyes. I think it overrides the nerve signals of your eye or something
I love how styropyro's videos are so powerful that even professionals reacting to them look like smiling, dumb little boys (me included)

3:50 Why you gotta call me out like that man?
When I was in my 20's I serial chained 9 volt batteries together to figure out how many volts you need to jump through dry skin, wet skin, etc. That's how I learned that our skin cells are dead, least the upper surface, so there are more ohms. I found at the time, I would start feeling tingling in my skin when I got to about 60 volts.

It comes down to the conductivity of the skin. Thick calloused areas are very high resistance and areas washed with certain soaps or where you've used lotions will create a residue thats nonconductive. try zapping an obscure area on your body like the back of your neck, or take a sharpie and make a mark on your skin then use a fine sandpaper until the mark comes off, i guarantee that area will feel the full brunt of the shock. Thats the method needed to get good EKG lead contact.
I once heard "everything's a conductor, given enough volts".
