In our class of electronic engineers (aprientenceship) There was this big discussion if Mehdi is a retard or a profesional. We concluded: He Posted so many videos, which means if he was stupid, he would have already died. So every stun he makes, is on purpose (or most). So he he is actually a very profesional, because he hasnt died yet.
@torugita johnson Woah, I've been electrocuted but never unable to release. I wonder like, during that moment are you able to still think clearly and see but unable to move? One guy told me he only saw red.
It only happened once, (we have no protection but meltable fuses for overcurrent), an i remember i had time to think "shit, i cant let it go i have to throw myself back or something similar" and the device (amplifier that i forgot to unplug during repair) stayed on the table, while i fell back landing on my butt;-)In any case, it would almost certainly break the contact when hitting the floor.
Electric showers and even faucets are widely used in Brazil and they rarely are reported to be lethal, BUT you don't want to touch their plastic shielding when your hands are wet (100% guaranteed in the case of faucets). Edit: it tends to be more unpleasant in showers if you raise your hands and touch them than it is when you operate the faucet. Furthermore, grounding is not something people tend to do, except connecting ground wires to neutral.
Stages of watching Mehdi's videos after finding him for the first time: 1) lol what an idiot 2) Oh he actually knows his stuff. Still funny when he gets hurt lol 3) *Doesn't even notice he got zapped because that's just normal part of the videos and the content is too interesting*

@@gertvanpeet3120 no, your socket is not grounded and the capacitive coupling brings voltage to the output but very low current. Known brand chargers are safe.
some not so cheap chargers made in safer countries have 120/240v on the output, my samsung branded south korean charger that came with a $500-1000 phone has current flow from the tip ground via my foot on the ground or just via capacitive coupling of my body, i've been "burned" by it enough times to know the feeling
Man, you dropped the GFCI outlet into the tub. The mains upstream GFCI could've electrocuted you. But I think you've taken precautions. Thank God, you're safe.
The video was uploaded so i guess he survived, the gsci breaker already cut the electricity so there was elecrricity only in the wire to the gfci outlet i think
Same! Looking through comments to see if anyone else was "shocked" by that. The wires inside that box are still live, the box is"weather resistant" not "weather proof". I think he's doing this without live wires and adding sound of gfci later or someone tripping another gfci off camera for the sound.
@@shawnniedetzki7548 he is doing with live wires but both electric terminals are in the water so even with the gfci closed nothing would happen since he is not in series with the live an earth
I'm pretty sure all his setups are wired with an extra layer of protection off camera. for this one the wire to the bxo was probably behind another breaker. pretty sure he's too aware of the danger to have the box with live wires on the bathtub without protection
true but for some reason this time i was afraid from @1:10 i was thinking "FUCK FUCK FUCK...................... dont drop the GFCI in the water boom , then it will be really BOOM"
Вообще у нас в России в новостройках GFCI ставят в электрощитках сразу на несколько розеток. Ни разу не проверял их работу. Возможно, те девушки жили в старых домах типа хрущёвок (в Иркутске и Чебоксарах их полно). В таких домах плохо вообще всё. А KREOSAN делает ролики на даче, туда ванные редко ставят =D
Russian here. Yup, most apartment buildings here (that weren't build like in the last 10 years or so, I'm not sure) don't even have grounding pins in the outlets, let alone any protection on bathroom outlets. Our flat actually didn't have a bathroom outlet before and previous owners installed it in parallel with the light switch.
Yeah, same. My washing machine just f*cking electrocutes me when I forget to unplug it. For example, as I touch the side of washing machine and the bathtub in the same time.
It's common all over eastern Europe. My parents home still doesn't have a ground wire in the power outlets. And its not even an old house but like most of the houses around here was built by non professionals with limited knowledge on electricity.
My apt building is like 10 years old. Not a fancy one at all, but it came with properly grounded outlets, and the one in the bathroom has a GFCI in the apartment's electrical cabinet. It even works, I tested it. Not in Moscow, BTW.
He mentioned the deterioration of a gov/country not the ppl of Ukraine Russia, he mentioned his country Iran have a similar crappy outlet like Ukraine, didn't pretend his country was better
Thanks again for introducing me to Kreosan, they are amazing although in recent years they've strayed a little from their original electrical content and more into urban exploration and metal detecting instead. And also thank you for bringing up the electric shower heads, just recently on Instagram I saw a shower head in Brazil shooting out flames and I was wondering how that was possible.
@@Zearion the breaker will not open. The current flow does not meet the magnetic or thermal limits. I think he was just lucky that the water did not get in yet and also that the current would have gone between the live and neutral / ground at the outlet instead of looping outside through him to the ground in the tub.
The "Suicide Shower Head" is very common in Brazil. In fact that's what we had at my parent's house for maybe 25 years, until eventually the gas network arrived at their street. In addition, the house does not have any grounding to this day. Old houses and apartments just don't have ground. The sockets have only live and neutral. When I was a kid I came to the "brilliant" conclusion that a light bulb was just electricity going through a springy wire. So I connected two wires to a spring and plugged it in to the power socket. The spring exploded and the circuit breaker in the corridor turned the power off. That was my Mehdi Moment. Newer houses and buildings have ground. And some have ground fault circuit protection, but to my knowledge not at the sockets, but at the main circuit breaker board. Usually not for the whole house, but only for the "wet circuits", that is, power sockets at lower levels and/or in areas where they might be close to water (bathrooms, etc). A couple of weeks ago I was installing a luminary when I got confused with the wires (it shared the same live/ground with another set of lights - or something like that). I think I connected the luminary to live and ground (instead of neutral). I think. When I turned it on, the circuit breaker shut down all of the lights of that floor. Not sure if that was a ground fault protection.
Tá, mas se o que ele diz é verdade. Deveria ter gente morrendo aos milhares no Brasil. Eu acredito que a corrente elétrica não frita nosso cérebro por que a diferença de potencial entre os fios é muito maior que o chuveiro e nossos pés, dessa forma a corrente tá condenada cruzar a resistência.
Muriel Henrique Schonardie Faz sentido. Outra coisa é que o que sai do chuveiro são gotas, com alguma separação entre elas, e não um jato contínuo (ou não tão contínuo....). Sei-lá, algo a pensar. Ou a perguntar a ele.
This guy really does know his stuff, super entertaining almost educating if you listen to how he speaks in his videos. Super funny and I could watch these videos all day, what a guy an absolute legend.
In Germany, GFCI is absolutely standard at all newer houses and mostly before the fuses to the separate rooms, so you are protected in every room. Which is great. So I'm totaly with you, regulation is the most important thing.
@@leonpano Maybe it's like the netherlands in bathrooms the protection is hidden. Every item in the bathroom needs to be grounded even the floor so it will all trip the protection.
I have a feeling thats what got him popular in the first place. All i saw before would be a highlights of him electrocuting himself LOL Now this man has 2.3mil views LOL
Even though he might overlook something in a circuit he made, it’s really impressive how much he can tell you; and also learning from his overlooks/mistakes
Like I showed before it, live wire directly in water is much less painful and sometimes not noticeable depending on the body of water and where your body is located. I didn't feel anything. There was a bit of water inside the box, but also maybe the wires didn't make a good contact with the water outside the box
Kreosan lives in an old house. In the area that is pretty much in a sate of war. So not everyone lives like that in the former SU, not even most people. But you have to consider the fact, that the standard of living dropped considerably since the end of SU. So there are not that many people who managed to update their home's power lines for 25-30 years. It's a minor miracle that those lines, that were built to a 220V 5A standard still manage to somewhat function with the modern appliances. I mean, a 2000 Watt heater was unthinkable for home use back when the SU electrical grid was built, but it's almost a standard now. You'd be hard pressed to find a less than 700 W kettle. When the old SU clothes iron (about the most powerful home appliance apart from electric oven, which needed a special power line to work) was only 400 W. I think the only thing that allows that grid to function is the falling use of incandescent lamps, which lowered the load on lighting. The ground was not in the standard as well. So most people don't have a ground wire anywhere in their home. Most bathrooms didn't have an electrical socket at all, only the lighting. People should just get the idea that if you don't know exactly what you are doing, you shouldn't break the rules. If there is a rule to not bring electricity into the bathroom, don't do it. The other way would be to find out if your device has the needed protection, if you socket has the needed protection, if your bath is grounded, and so on. But until people will just break the rules without thinking it through first, they will continue to die now and then doing it...
Everyone who whines about the cost of products in the West completely ignores the benefits that come from effective and encompassing regulation, very dissappointing
@@Azathoth43 some people obviously do. You'd think it'd be common sense, but that doesn't seem to apply to some people. Just like it should be common sense to not use your phone in the bathtub (or any electronics for that matter) even if there are multiple safety mechanisms in place.
@Mustache Merlin All of the shower heads that I've ever seen in Brasil do put the live wire in direct contact with the water through a resistance. And I have never seen any accidents if the shower is properly installed.
@@Felipeh999the live wire is isolated from the water, of course, if the resistor is not an isolated one (and if the head is not connected to ground), some current will flow through the water/pipe, but nothing like in Mehdi's example.
@@l4nd3r I have never seen an shower head with isolated resistance. And if the resistance is not isolated, they'll be exactly like the example in the video.
Touching his leg with live wire connected to the spoon doesn’t scare my eyes but dropping a GFCI into the water with his leg in. Holy shit this scares me (even if the breaker pop, you can’t be sure sometimes faulty could happen)

Some cheap Chinese usb chargers have mains voltage on the usb plug!
Even my Motorola has IT, and my Acer laptop, Just because they are not really Transformers!
@@gertvanpeet3120 no, your socket is not grounded and the capacitive coupling brings voltage to the output but very low current. Known brand chargers are safe.
There are USB chargers out there wich consist of a mains plug, a USB socket and a capacitive dropper inbetween.
Wouldn't that fuck up your phone
some not so cheap chargers made in safer countries have 120/240v on the output, my samsung branded south korean charger that came with a $500-1000 phone has current flow from the tip ground via my foot on the ground or just via capacitive coupling of my body, i've been "burned" by it enough times to know the feeling
I have a solution. Dont charge you phone in a bath tub. Or dont use your phone at all or if you listen to music set your phone on the counter

Why do we only have GFCI in the bathroom and not all rooms everywhere everywhere?
Man, you dropped the GFCI outlet into the tub. The mains upstream GFCI could've electrocuted you. But I think you've taken precautions. Thank God, you're safe.
Maybe it was all planned.. i rly dont know it if i watch his videos, it is pretty hard to decide if this is planned or not XD
In Germany we got the GFCI installed in the fuse box, couldn't happen here (: Also there's a contact for it in every outlet, not just in the bath.
:( yes. my heart also almost stopped when i saw that. :D but i guess when he would have gotten seriously injured he won't be able to upload
@@Xenoray1 it's all planned, if you watch his Jacob's ladder video you'll see what he looks like when something actually does happen.
He probably plugged the external GFCI outlet into the installed GFCI outlet in his bathroom.

do your electric shit like hairdrying when you get out of the bath
2:04 I thought that when outlet box fell in the tub, he was doomed.
The video was uploaded so i guess he survived, the gsci breaker already cut the electricity so there was elecrricity only in the wire to the gfci outlet i think
Same! Looking through comments to see if anyone else was "shocked" by that. The wires inside that box are still live, the box is"weather resistant" not "weather proof". I think he's doing this without live wires and adding sound of gfci later or someone tripping another gfci off camera for the sound.
@@shawnniedetzki7548 he is doing with live wires but both electric terminals are in the water so even with the gfci closed nothing would happen since he is not in series with the live an earth
@@felixbeutin9530 you never know which wire hits the water first, inside the outlet box. If it is live wire, you're f*cked
I'm pretty sure all his setups are wired with an extra layer of protection off camera. for this one the wire to the bxo was probably behind another breaker. pretty sure he's too aware of the danger to have the box with live wires on the bathtub without protection

Вообще у нас в России в новостройках GFCI ставят в электрощитках сразу на несколько розеток. Ни разу не проверял их работу. Возможно, те девушки жили в старых домах типа хрущёвок (в Иркутске и Чебоксарах их полно). В таких домах плохо вообще всё.

Russian here.
Yup, most apartment buildings here (that weren't build like in the last 10 years or so, I'm not sure) don't even have grounding pins in the outlets, let alone any protection on bathroom outlets. Our flat actually didn't have a bathroom outlet before and previous owners installed it in parallel with the light switch.
Yeah, same. My washing machine just f*cking electrocutes me when I forget to unplug it.
For example, as I touch the side of washing machine and the bathtub in the same time.
It's common all over eastern Europe. My parents home still doesn't have a ground wire in the power outlets. And its not even an old house but like most of the houses around here was built by non professionals with limited knowledge on electricity.
My apt building is like 10 years old. Not a fancy one at all, but it came with properly grounded outlets, and the one in the bathroom has a GFCI in the apartment's electrical cabinet. It even works, I tested it. Not in Moscow, BTW.

Thanks again for introducing me to Kreosan, they are amazing although in recent years they've strayed a little from their original electrical content and more into urban exploration and metal detecting instead. And also thank you for bringing up the electric shower heads, just recently on Instagram I saw a shower head in Brazil shooting out flames and I was wondering how that was possible.
Also, they used to cheat a lot in their videos. For example, in their EMP cannon video they rigged their target with explosives to make a show.
2:03 - Okay, you actually scared me there when you knocked the GFCI box into the water. I hope you had another one upstream!
I was wondering if that had gotten water into it what would have happened.
Same here
@@Zearion but the live wires were still going into the gfci it just wasn't sending any power out the plug.
I'm guessing a staged setup, as unless he had an upstream GFCI, he would have been shocked pretty badly. Still, awesome videos.!
@@Zearion the breaker will not open. The current flow does not meet the magnetic or thermal limits.
I think he was just lucky that the water did not get in yet and also that the current would have gone between the live and neutral / ground at the outlet instead of looping outside through him to the ground in the tub.
1:35 _"You never try this at home"_
Me, snuggled up in my blanket on the couch, eating chips: "ok".
The "Suicide Shower Head" is very common in Brazil. In fact that's what we had at my parent's house for maybe 25 years, until eventually the gas network arrived at their street.
In addition, the house does not have any grounding to this day. Old houses and apartments just don't have ground. The sockets have only live and neutral.
When I was a kid I came to the "brilliant" conclusion that a light bulb was just electricity going through a springy wire. So I connected two wires to a spring and plugged it in to the power socket. The spring exploded and the circuit breaker in the corridor turned the power off. That was my Mehdi Moment.
Newer houses and buildings have ground. And some have ground fault circuit protection, but to my knowledge not at the sockets, but at the main circuit breaker board. Usually not for the whole house, but only for the "wet circuits", that is, power sockets at lower levels and/or in areas where they might be close to water (bathrooms, etc).
A couple of weeks ago I was installing a luminary when I got confused with the wires (it shared the same live/ground with another set of lights - or something like that). I think I connected the luminary to live and ground (instead of neutral). I think. When I turned it on, the circuit breaker shut down all of the lights of that floor. Not sure if that was a ground fault protection.

Tá, mas se o que ele diz é verdade. Deveria ter gente morrendo aos milhares no Brasil. Eu acredito que a corrente elétrica não frita nosso cérebro por que a diferença de potencial entre os fios é muito maior que o chuveiro e nossos pés, dessa forma a corrente tá condenada cruzar a resistência.

In Germany, GFCI is absolutely standard at all newer houses and mostly before the fuses to the separate rooms, so you are protected in every room.
Which is great. So I'm totaly with you, regulation is the most important thing.
Why I didn’t see it

@@leonpano Maybe it's like the netherlands in bathrooms the protection is hidden. Every item in the bathroom needs to be grounded even the floor so it will all trip the protection.

2:05 GFCI in the water why not shock you ?
Like I showed before it, live wire directly in water is much less painful and sometimes not noticeable depending on the body of water and where your body is located. I didn't feel anything. There was a bit of water inside the box, but also maybe the wires didn't make a good contact with the water outside the box

@prabhat kumar and what about the other side of the breaker... You know, the thing that takes power to the breaker in the first place?
Kreosan lives in an old house. In the area that is pretty much in a sate of war. So not everyone lives like that in the former SU, not even most people. But you have to consider the fact, that the standard of living dropped considerably since the end of SU. So there are not that many people who managed to update their home's power lines for 25-30 years. It's a minor miracle that those lines, that were built to a 220V 5A standard still manage to somewhat function with the modern appliances. I mean, a 2000 Watt heater was unthinkable for home use back when the SU electrical grid was built, but it's almost a standard now. You'd be hard pressed to find a less than 700 W kettle. When the old SU clothes iron (about the most powerful home appliance apart from electric oven, which needed a special power line to work) was only 400 W. I think the only thing that allows that grid to function is the falling use of incandescent lamps, which lowered the load on lighting.
The ground was not in the standard as well. So most people don't have a ground wire anywhere in their home. Most bathrooms didn't have an electrical socket at all, only the lighting.
People should just get the idea that if you don't know exactly what you are doing, you shouldn't break the rules. If there is a rule to not bring electricity into the bathroom, don't do it. The other way would be to find out if your device has the needed protection, if you socket has the needed protection, if your bath is grounded, and so on. But until people will just break the rules without thinking it through first, they will continue to die now and then doing it...

@Mustache Merlin Darwinism did its job, the creator of that god-awful abomination is making money. Unbridled Capitalism for you.
@Mustache Merlin All of the shower heads that I've ever seen in Brasil do put the live wire in direct contact with the water through a resistance. And I have never seen any accidents if the shower is properly installed.
@@Felipeh999the live wire is isolated from the water, of course, if the resistor is not an isolated one (and if the head is not connected to ground), some current will flow through the water/pipe, but nothing like in Mehdi's example.
@@l4nd3r I have never seen an shower head with isolated resistance. And if the resistance is not isolated, they'll be exactly like the example in the video.
