Because his transformers are not very efficient. Transformers used in the power grid typically use thousands or even tens of thousands of turns of wire in their coils.
That was the best line. Tesla brought us an electric system that powers the world, but it doesn’t work as well in Electroboom’s workshop, so it must be the wrong system.

"tesla was working for edison at the time"
good thing he left, because edison would've just taken credit for AC if he didn't
Well it's because of Tesla's AC discovery that we're stuck with shitty DC as a standard. Because Edison wanted to be the only credited pioneer for electricity when in reality he was a thief and conniving businessman.

@@ignacio196 it's interesting Edisons DC is not even used that much like AC. U only see it in those bricks for consoles ,TVs, and Computers to convert AC to DC. Rip Edisons legacy.
@@Daud-ix4tm you see DC in a lot of hvac blower motors these days. Modulating the dc current allows you to manipulate the speed, and typically uses less power.
@@uncleteo8201 they are doing away with psc motors in residential, so all new units will have dc ecm motors.
In Sweden you could get AC/DC appliances (radios, TV:s, etc), during the entire vacuum tube era, i.e. up to the beginning of the 70:s, when the last DC nets were decomissioned.
Cities with trams tended to have DC nets longer, otherwise ASEA (with AC nets), lead the electrification of Sweden.
There were pure DC mains powered radios (without rectifier tube). The Old Swedish mains plug was like the current Euro 220V plug, but without ground, i.e 2 pins, unporalized. On the DC radios (and DC nets), there were a little painted red dot on the + line. If you plugged in the radio the wrong way, you would get +110V on the chassis, which could be bad if you had e.g. uninulated antenna and ground connections. But most people knew things things well, everybody tinkered with radios in those days..
There were even AC/DC powered early elevators, with large rectifer systems.
(When i read up on this, i was surprised for how long DC and various non-standard AC voltages were in use.... I suppose it was the same all over the world..)

Michael D. Yes. We were looking for an electrical solution when all this time we should have been looking for a biological one
Ah yes Tesla would be proud. Sons of Dielectric Charge!
😁😂🤣😃
That damn capacitor smoking though! The diode shorted out and placed the 120V AC right across the capacitor, which shorted the AC. So the cap heated up and blew up! Even when I unplugged it still kept whizzing and smoking!
be careful!

My grandmother already knew that
this is the first video I've seen by this channel and already I love it
I worked as an electronics engineering tech for 1 1/2 designing, prototyping and testing new designs and after soldering an entire board with tons a tantalum capacitors I accidentally miss-wired the power socket so ground and power were reversed and blew all the caps simultaneously - it was a popcorn light show. I also did the stupid meter thing where I left the test lead in the current socket and turned the probe into a missile which was very deadly. At my current company a contractor electrician miss-wired the power in our building and was electrocuted to death. Yes sometimes it is a spark, a shock, an explosion, some dangerous projectile, or downright lethal current flow. By careful out there.

Now I get the name of the channel. Well done. When I was younger (19 yrs old) and working at a park my boss didn't call before digging a trench even though there was a sign that said about 20 foot away "Call before you dig" in attempt to add another water line to the parks pool area. And so he started a trench and after 15 feet BAM trench fills with water; we thought he hit "only" a water line. So he told me get into the trench with a shovel (hell he was my boss) si I jump into the trench, it's full of water and ZAP! He'd also cut a 240 volt power main cable supplying an entire subdivision and it was like a horse kicked me. I flew out of that trench a good 25 feet. Needless to say we took out power, water, telephone and cable for like 100 homes. The trench probably wasn't 15 feet long And it's so funny because when the police and fire department (even the mayor) showed up they were all talking to my boss by that sign now not 5 feet away "Call before you Dig". lol. Oh, and my boss received a $20,000 fine, but luckily the company paid for it. lol! I still laugh about that. So yeah I enjoyed this video. ZAP!

"what they don't know is nothing can stop me" Love your content brotha, you're educational and funny as hell
i love your way of explanation sir
A story from a site (factory) which ran 230VDC lighting:
As the filaments parted, a DC arc was set up and stabilised.
That arc then ate its way:
- down the support electrodes of the lamp,
- into the base,
- THROUGH the bulbholder,
- 3-4 feet along the cable dangling from the ceiling,
and was a few inches from the ceiling rose before someone managed to turn the power off. If it had managed to start chewing up the building cabling it could have been..... messy.
One of the MAJOR advantages of AC over DC is that any AC arcs that happen are self-extinguishing every half-cycle, whilst DC ones are self-sustaining. This is why the AC and DC current ratings stamped on switches are so radically different - it's not about their current carrying capacity, it's about their current BREAKING capacity and ability to prevent/extinguish arc formation.
IE: DC power distribution is a FIRE HAZARD and high current DC anything needs to be treated with great caution. This is why your car has so many fuses in it (and why those fuses have fairly hefty shrouds and/or springs in them despite it only being 12V)
It's worth noting that at the same time as Edison was electrocuting stray dogs and the occasional elephant to show how dangerous AC was, his "Safe" DC system was killing around 8-10 electrical workers per week.
It shows how society has changed its values, that Edison could kill animals in a demo without provoking outcry and a boycott of his company! I lived in a house in England built in the 60s when there was a fashion for switchless 240V AC 13A sockets. I'm told by someone who lived in a 240V DC area of Wales that if you yanked the plug out without switching off first you could get an ElectroBOOM-style arc.
@@usvalve Well here in Italy we have simple 3-prong 16A plugs that are fairly easy to pull out (unlike schuckos). If you pull the plug out with even just an 8A load it's 100% guaranteed to arc.
@@demoniack81 *Schuko, from German "Schutzkontakt" meaning protective contact
No, your car has so many fuses to compartmentalise the different systems to try and reduce the likelihood of one system damaging another.
The large size is primarily due to the blades to provide good contact to allow a large current to pass.
The actual fusing component is tiny.
So no, it has nothing to do with arcing.
Also, AC can sustain arcing as well.
In order for the alternating current aspect to be useful, you need to have the voltage drop to below that required to sustain the arc for a long enough period for the plasma to dissipate.
A good example of this is a fluorescent tube, which is a sustained arc, which runs just fine on AC.
Yes, the AC does make it easier to stop the arc, but it isn't a magic cure-all.
The main reason we are using the archaic AC system is because it was better to convert voltages at the time we were deciding if we should use AC or DC.
@@jeffreyblack666 Three phase AC can also deliver much more power with a given size of conductors and voltage, as explained in the video. That's not an insignificant aspect.

One of my biggest pet peeves is products which are exceptionally difficult to disassemble. I think companies should engineer their products to be easily take apart, whether it’s to service or conduct use-maintenance (simply cleaning/oil bearings and points or contact), or if the customer wants to take it apart out of pure curiosity, it should still stand. If I pay for a product, I should have that freedom. Companies ought to be mindful of the engineering and ergonomics of the inner workings. For example, I had a Shark mini vacuum that had accumulated a thick layer of dust and grime on the propeller. The DC motor also was drowning in dust. They had used “safety screws” on the propeller housing and the motor assembly. Why?? Cleaning the propeller shouldn’t void the warranty. If anything, the warranty would be voided WITHOUT proper cleaning and Maintenance.
ya they are doing that on purpose.
you're not supposed to see, understand and help yourself.
you're supposed to pay them to repair and service it for you or just buy a new one.
yes, they are a$$holes.
Well the microwave is probably justified for safety purposes
based on your own logic: companies should have the right to sell the equipment as they want, with the degree of take-apart-difficulty they want. (btw, for sure you also have the right not to buy it!).
Nice video and explanation.
