I remember when Alex was the slightly mad scientist at LMG, now they have proper mad scientists there. The build was sick and the forge while terrifying is one of the AWESOMEST things ever.
Not only that, they have proper mad scientists there with FULL ON proper electrical/mechanical engineering degrees where they can do real cool stuff (or damage) with their intelligence.

When he said “I’m awake now” after almost blowing a breaker, I believed him. Tynan usually looks so bored of everything in general, like pfff whatever. Now I know why. He’s a madman and needs to be in dangerous territory to be excited and i love it.
Dude he was hyped the entire time he was messing with that very deadly machine lmao I like forging and metal working just like he does, but I want nothing to do with induction stuff like that, it's absolutely terrifying lol notice he said to plug it into TWO circuits? That means 2 separate rooms in the house, because the amount of power allotted to an entire room of a house (about 2000 watts) isn't enough for that single machine
@@CazRaX that's why an electrical stove is on its own circuit ... with multi-phase (sp?) power. We get 380 volts instead of the standard 240 v that way. I'm guessing that killing machine has similar requirements ...
Tynan really shows the "mad engineer" side of him in this video, and I love it! To add, you even have Alex, who is usually considered the "jank king" amongst the writers, which made this video even more so enjoyable for me. Petition to have more of Tynan in these kind of videos!
Alex used to be the "jank king", as I understand it was mostly because he didn't have enough time, don't forget he used to be the only engineer tasked to produce videos pretty much on his own on a very tight schedule while learning a lot of stuff. I think most of his recent recent videos aren't very jank anymore.
Yeah I'm not sure if I like this content or not haha. I hope they are being safe, I would hate to see a tragedy. The amount of current being dealt with and the heat generation all of it seems wildly dangerous without being in an environment built specifically for those conditions.
As a professional welder, fabricator and computer enthusiast. This video was terrifying on so many levels! Although I now have a whole new level of respect for Tynan! Lol
The downside is that for anything that is more than mildly interesting, a project like that is a whole man-month or more for a single video just for the engineering part.
What I love the most about Alex/Linus videos is Alex's chaotic "This is stupid, let's turn it up a notch" while Linus tries his best to reign it in and keep it under control... Tynan is so much more over the top, poor Alex is trying to reign it in but is all "This is terrifyingly dangerous.... but I can't help but be curious...". What an entertaining match up!!! 😀
This guy is insane. He's enjoying every minute. Probably a side effect of inhaling too many smoke releases. Great episode! These two are going to be trouble. Please feature them in more future videos.
Alex isn't a Linus. I don't think he does a particularly good job of being Linus v2. He is good at being himself which is fine, but instead he's been told to become nutjob Alex to present.
Alex to me is the face of LTT when Linus isn't around lately. So long he keeps going doing the same, I would love to see him step up as the main face when Linus decide to retire from videos. Anyone else thinks the same?
Tynans chaotic powers are amazing, and Alex being willing to go along with his insane science because why not is wonderful. I don't think there could have been a better host for this one.
im still confused by that frankenstein powerhouse machine they tinkered with right in the middle of the pc build but i like the chaotic randomness of this video. and it was just like only they were hanging out. wholesome content
Its a, somewhat, janky induction forge. Basically, instead of using coal or gas to heat your steel when forging, you use induction instead. It has some advantages too, with a little control you can get the steel, iron, or whatever metal you're forging to the *exact* temperature you want. Pretty cool stuff.
@@The_Keeper ackshually it is not cool at all it can reach temperatures higher than the sun itself given large enough capacitors, wire gauges and input power
Absolutely love the detail of the forge top panel, that pattern is a Lichtenberg figure, which you get by running electricity through an insulator. The induction forge's top panel functions as a handy preview of the scar you get from touching the internals.
HEY You don't need that inductance ! This heating technique uses the ferrous metal induced saturation to heat, so obviously that inductor is also heating. You should instead use the metal part that you are heating as inductor. And you need to have a Microcontroller that select the correct frequency depending on the current consumption : - optimizes frequency to that heated metal part inductance (like a MPPT tracker) - but don't go for highest current point, instead use a current limiter (so that it has a constant input current predefined by SW)
I loved when Tynan went "it is drawing 11 AMPs" and Alex goes "that's not too bad" and then Tynan goes "AT 220V", just casually doubled the power draw, no biggie.
These two definitely follow two stereotypes of engineers. One is super chaotic with crazy ideas yet still follows safety guides, the other is very down to earth and calm when things are being discussed. No wonder Alex has made it to where he is and is so well like at Linus media group.
This PC turned out REALLY pretty! Also, I'm glad you guys didn't die in this video even though you tried your best. Alex as a host is fantastic as always.
This was both exhilerating and terrifying. And to see Alex being the sensible one was refreshing! Probably my favourite LTT video of all time. Can we have more of these nerds together?
Omg yes. Can we have a video where Tynan goes over the build of that inductive heater, what everything inside it does and why he made the decisions he did? Also any safety features like temperature switches etc. I'm disappointed that it doesn't seem to have a proper disconnect switch built in so that you can safely connect the cords while disconnected.
I guess u need to go to Floatplane to get a Video about the heater. I guess the big Black Switch does exactly that. And they only forgot to turn it off. But only a guess
What will we do next? The same thing we always do, try to take over the world. The 'evil' shirt and his finger tents mark Tynan as The Next Mad Scientist.
Technically he’s creator warehouse not LMG. So he might show up in some more engineering heavy videos Tynan’s work has been open source game controller and mouse, a less expensive sound dampener and a kids toy that was working on certification back in July. So sadly won’t see him a ton but on the plus side he’s doing cool projects some of which would likely get videos.
I actually used a magnet almost exactly like this one to do my PhD research in bioengineering. I was using it to rapidly spin magnetic iron nanoparticles and make them generate a few hundred degrees C and release drugs attached to their surface. So instead of a piece of metal bar in the coil, it was a mouse with the nanoparticles inside of them (the mice were fine, since the particles are so incredibly tiny the actual amount of heat generated was very low). Very fun to see someone describe how this stuff works!
More Tynan required in LTT videos! He's shaping up to the mad scientist of LTT. I have a feeling come next year he will be Brian the Electrician's arch nemesis. But even if he does, he will do it in true archvillain style by being charming and charismatic, just as he was in this video. Seriously fun video, great PC and fabulous energy. Time to step up Alex, Tynan is making you look a big fraidy-cat... Man, that's something I thought I would never say... [Edit: You're still awesome Alex, you knows we luvs ya]
@@Morphior I think that's a topic Faraday in the future. Too tired and cagey to fuse a debate together. Ohm my gawd its late. Need to recharge my batteries. Going into hibernate mode. Take care bud and have a good eve!
Yo same. I'm sitting here wondering if I missed a large part of the video. What was it for? I finished the video and never found out. It seemed dangerous and there was no obvious reason to why they were doing most of this stuff.
isn’t it obvious lol? he needs it to bend the hardline copper tubing. it’s literal copper plumbing, a heat gun won’t work like you do with acrylic tubes
Finally someone took the 5k for a PC and actually built just straight up baller PC. It's going to be a pain to ever upgrade or replace parts but it's definitely cool AF. The induction heater is just cherry on the top. Chef's kiss.
He’s using a distro block, as far as hardline tubing goes that’s basically easy mode. All he needs to do is drain the loop and cut new tubing to length, you can see he has very few runs that aren’t just a straight pipe. For anything with a curve, well, the induction furnace stuff was probably just for fun, you can easily bend such copper tubes cold.
@@СусаннаСергеевна No, you want to heat the copper tubes so that you don't end up folding the copper tubing instead of bending. (reduces flow, reduces overall pressure and cooling effectiveness; not fun)
@@cwhitley.sawlabs You fill the pipe with sand or a special spring before bending it. th-cam.com/video/pc3yud5JSsM/w-d-xo.html I may not know much about plumbing, but I do know this one thing.
I usually add Intel Extreme Upgrades to a watch later playlist. But this one is special, it has Alex. it's going to be filled with Alex shenanigans and there's going to be something jank definitely.
From one Alex to another, honestly you made so much progress since your first video with LTT. You're my fav host (with daddy Linus). Keep up the authenticity! 💪
The Alex/Tynan dynamic duo is easily one of my favorites, right up there with Alex/Riley and Jake/Linus. The shenanigans that go down are always immaculate
I have a similar 6Kw induction heater that I built a few years back. You should really use an SSR and power resistor as a soft start to charge up the capacitors before they are directly connected to mains voltage. I basically run 240V through a 300W 500ohm power resistor with a 5 second 555 timer circuit and latch to activate the solid state relay, that way the resistor charges up the caps slowly before fully connecting them. I have also been considering using a microcontroller to measure the voltage on the capacitors to switch over to mains as soon as they are charged above a certain threshold, which would be nice to prevent any potential short from blowing things up (since it would pull power from the cap faster than the resistor lets it charge the circuit just never switches to mains if something is wrong).
I'm sure you meant SCR, not SSR. had a couple laying around I pulled out of an old spot welder, never did use them, now I'm not in to those types of hobbies anymore.
The amount of chaotic energy in this video.... Is almost more than i can handle. I love it! Also it feels like Tynan is one accident away from becoming a supervillain 😅
Tynan is such a chaotically quirky funny guy and great in front of the camera. On top of being crafty and tinkery. He seems like a great addition to the team and I'd love him to be in front of the camera sometimes.

All they need to do is hammer in the d*ck and balls logo during their build
I'm ded
they are just baiting him for publicity so many channels do that right now. so lame
@@disliked1390 LTT gets at minimum, an average of 10x the amount of views, if anything, this is good publicity for Asmongold lol.
I didn't realize I needed Alex to host one of these tech upgrades. This was chaotic and fantastic
The sheer amount of jank energy radiating from thee two is nothing short of amazing.
We need more Tynan on the channel!
Alex did a really good job on hosting this episode, I liked it!
Half of my video selection process is determining whether Alex is in the video. His projects are always interesting and its always a good watch.
Linus: roasts the person getting the upgrade
Alex: roasts other streamers reacting to their videos
This was the sickest build yet!
I agree. I think I’ll do some shopping as soon as I get some spare time 🤓
@@jswaggart01 OK 🤓
More Tynan required in LTT videos! He's shaping up to the mad scientist of LTT. I have a feeling come next year he will be Brian the Electrician's arch nemesis. But even if he does, he will do it in true archvillain style by being charming and charismatic, just as he was in this video.
Seriously fun video, great PC and fabulous energy. Time to step up Alex, Tynan is making you look a big fraidy-cat... Man, that's something I thought I would never say...
[Edit: You're still awesome Alex, you knows we luvs ya]
Wouldn't he be an arc nemesis?
@@Morphior Wut you did thar... I see it. And I approve!!👍
Weld done! ✌️
@@MrIrondog55 I don't see Watt you mean.
@@Morphior I think that's a topic Faraday in the future. Too tired and cagey to fuse a debate together. Ohm my gawd its late. Need to recharge my batteries. Going into hibernate mode. Take care bud and have a good eve!
Alex' comment about pre-stressing the motherboard is an instant classic! I liked that a lot.
It feels like the classic, "Trust me, I'm an engineer." vibe. hahaha
Tynan is objectively handsome, and even within a point of Alex, but he's such a turbo dork, it's incredible.
This has been my favorite Intel upgrade in awhile, so calm and so chaotic, love it
I hope to see him in videos more often. His energy is just amazing
18 minutes in and I have no idea what he needs this metal heater thing for.
Yo same. I'm sitting here wondering if I missed a large part of the video. What was it for? I finished the video and never found out. It seemed dangerous and there was no obvious reason to why they were doing most of this stuff.
@@Tsuusetsu I think it was included just bc he spend intel money onto that instead of using on just his pc
he said forging, also it's just a really cool thing to build
isn’t it obvious lol? he needs it to bend the hardline copper tubing. it’s literal copper plumbing, a heat gun won’t work like you do with acrylic tubes
because why not lol! nothing cooler than an electric forge. except maybe building your own
While watching the death machine part, I ended up forgetting that Tynan and Alex were building a computer.
Tynans chaos level is incredible. That dude has some crazy professor vibes going xD
Tynan Mad Science Tips.
Watching Tynan come alive with all that excitement was great. Give us more.
Finally someone took the 5k for a PC and actually built just straight up baller PC. It's going to be a pain to ever upgrade or replace parts but it's definitely cool AF. The induction heater is just cherry on the top. Chef's kiss.
He’s using a distro block, as far as hardline tubing goes that’s basically easy mode. All he needs to do is drain the loop and cut new tubing to length, you can see he has very few runs that aren’t just a straight pipe. For anything with a curve, well, the induction furnace stuff was probably just for fun, you can easily bend such copper tubes cold.
@@СусаннаСергеевна No, you want to heat the copper tubes so that you don't end up folding the copper tubing instead of bending. (reduces flow, reduces overall pressure and cooling effectiveness; not fun)
@@cwhitley.sawlabs You fill the pipe with sand or a special spring before bending it. th-cam.com/video/pc3yud5JSsM/w-d-xo.html
I may not know much about plumbing, but I do know this one thing.
@@СусаннаСергеевна Ah, cool. I knew there was some special step you had to do. Thanks!
I usually add Intel Extreme Upgrades to a watch later playlist. But this one is special, it has Alex. it's going to be filled with Alex shenanigans and there's going to be something jank definitely.
guess what
There's something I love about Alex! He landed the job of dreams, but he is so likable, smart, and talented, that he more than deserves it
Sickest build so far in this series imo. Tynan should do some more videos, maybe some in the workshop? I really like his vibe ^^
Tynan is my favorite ltt employee, it's always "we could die but nothing to worry about" vibes 😂
He's like the Steve Irwin of electricity
Alex - "Why?"
Tynan - "Why Not?"
0:22 "you touch anything in here, you literally die"
Okay now I get why Linus isn't hosting this.
From one Alex to another, honestly you made so much progress since your first video with LTT. You're my fav host (with daddy Linus). Keep up the authenticity! 💪
The Alex/Tynan dynamic duo is easily one of my favorites, right up there with Alex/Riley and Jake/Linus. The shenanigans that go down are always immaculate
this was no joke, one of the most crazy fun video's you guys have done
I know Alex doesn't need a co-host when doing car reviews, but these two have amazing chemistry on camera together
I have a similar 6Kw induction heater that I built a few years back. You should really use an SSR and power resistor as a soft start to charge up the capacitors before they are directly connected to mains voltage. I basically run 240V through a 300W 500ohm power resistor with a 5 second 555 timer circuit and latch to activate the solid state relay, that way the resistor charges up the caps slowly before fully connecting them. I have also been considering using a microcontroller to measure the voltage on the capacitors to switch over to mains as soon as they are charged above a certain threshold, which would be nice to prevent any potential short from blowing things up (since it would pull power from the cap faster than the resistor lets it charge the circuit just never switches to mains if something is wrong).
I'm sure you meant SCR, not SSR. had a couple laying around I pulled out of an old spot welder, never did use them, now I'm not in to those types of hobbies anymore.
This is the first build that made me super jealous of the final product. I love the PC. The Aesthetic is right up my alley
Jake is crazy? No. Alex is crazy? No!
Tynan is the crazy nerd guy now.
This is the coolest looking computer you guys have built. That front panel water tank and pump is really nice and no multi color crap going on.
I had so much fun designing and building it! Doing maintenance on it, definitely more of a pain in the butt :p still love it
The amount of chaotic energy in this video.... Is almost more than i can handle. I love it! Also it feels like Tynan is one accident away from becoming a supervillain 😅
11:03
"Why?"
"why Not?" Ah, the attitude that pushes mankind for tenthousands of years 😎
tynan is my spirit animal (fitting since i'm also studying mechatronics enginnering now)
Tynan is such a chaotically quirky funny guy and great in front of the camera. On top of being crafty and tinkery. He seems like a great addition to the team and I'd love him to be in front of the camera sometimes.
Great to see alex hosting a tech upgrade! Its always nice to change things up every now and then.
they dont want the ceo to die from the other build.
Love a Alex hosted Intel tech upgrade
1:14 where did he pull that from? These camera angles get me every time.
Tynan is definitely one of my favourite LTT staff members, his choatic energy just makes his personality such a vibe on video.
I'm not normally a fan of yellow, but there are a few exceptions. The RGB of this build is one such exception. Absolute Chef's kiss.
I was so stressed the whole time they were working in the workshop. So much could have gone wrong. Glad most of it didn't.
