You've burnt holes in much of what you own with a laser, shattered fuses and bulbs in your house but you still take your shoes off and wear slippers! Love it!
Watching Photonic reminds me of watching Steve Irwin, except with deadly electricity instead of deadly animals. You just know he's gonna fuck around too much and end up killing himself one day, but it's fascinating anyway.
I actually have one of these I use it for my arc furnace can deliver about 60 Volts @200amps quite a beasty transformer quite efficient too doesn't heat up much unless I drive it crazy
Our 60 Hz in the states sounds so ominous, nasty. Your 50 Hz sounds much more benign! You didn't POP it! Ain't 'avin' it! Keep putting out these "HOT" vids!
Love your videos man. I'm a service technician for commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment. I always wanted to put on my ticket.. Oven was low on freon, charged oven back up and applied 480 volts to ignitor. Tested for correct operation. Unit is working properly or something like that (ha ha). I ain't 'avin' it! Ha! You're a gem mate. Cheers!
Eli Gabriele he does risk assessment for big facilities (especially related to electrical risks), so his house isn't too hard to make safe for these kinds of experiments.
What's the best part of a completely shit day? Coming home to seeing PhotonicInduction doing what he does best. Keep up the vids, mate. Way more entertaining than anything on the tube. :)
I have been waiting for this one! Soo happy, I literally just opened youtube and you had uploaded it. Made my day! Cheer's Photon!! All the best and hope you are well!!
Yep, induction hot plates use that very same principle as well. I can't believe that you wouldn't find anyone who you could give the transformer away to.....
His flir would probably get popped ;D hey I would love to see a flir aimed at the car battery he was charging at extreme current that time. Especially during the first two minutes or so immediately after he applied the 100A of charging current. It was a shame that battery never exploded, a bit of an anti climax really. Hey BBI, when is the 16 pill LDMOS amp video coming? XD I want sparks and flames!
As the copper single shorted turn gets hot you will here the hum in the core getting louder again due to the increase in the coppers resistance as the fault current reduces in proportion to its temperature. The resistance increases by 3 times or more when it hits 500+ degrees and glows orange. The hum level is proportional typically to the flux in the core, sounds like the the shorted turn when cold is loading down the primary side reducing the flux in the core. Look like a S.P. pole pig core.
Put an extension cord through the field, and plug-in it's own ends? ABSOLUTE LMAO!!!!! That would have been seriously funny to watch. :-D As soon as the plug made contact with the socket.....BZZZZ! Fizz-fizz..... pvc melting like cheeze under a grill, then.....*POP* Or better still......FLAAAAAMES! :-D Nice idea. Thumbs-up for that one. :-D -BoomBoxDeluxe.
Probably better to think of a waterfall. Water falls from high potential to low potential. If there's a big drop and a very narrow pipe, it might sting a bit if you put your hand under it. The same drop and a six-inch pipe and the current'll take your hand off, but that additional power (the potential difference and the current carrying capacity of the pipe) could easily spin a turbine and run a generator (which'll also take your hand off, but that's another story :) ).
I'm sure something particularly nasty could be created from the following ingredients:- A TV with its EHT lead disconnected and brought outside its case Some water Some salt Some foil Some steel nails A shitload of bottles and jars Don't do it though - it'll bite.
I tried this shorted turn experiment on my home made transformer, and I got a very violent physical upwards motion on the shorted turn, amazing the enormous amount of force than can occur in a transformer when shorted turns occur, and high fault currents are involved.
have you heard of the Casio high speed cameras? I have an ex fc100 and I personally think it is ok. Considering how popular your channel is sure to become, I would think that you're audience deserves something like the ex fh20 or even the ex f1.
Photon. I was missing your vid´s. I had no clue why your old channel had gone away, and then I found this one. And I am loving it. I am studying electronics my self. And what you do is verry intresting! Thanks.
Glad to see this one back up! I recon that smaller ring of copper pipe was about to melt when it was glowing orange. Just a quick question though, what did that transformer come out of originally? Once again, thanks for re uploading.
you're the fucken best bro. when i saw you deleted your original channel i was bummed out. You had so many videos i spent hours watchin your shit and laughing and learning a lot about electricity. You're more knowledgeable in that field than i thought was even possible. keep doin your thing and uploading these videos brotha, you should get inventive and record a new one or two so we can see how you're currently doing rather than just seeing these older vids revamped. Thanks for uploading bro
Total LMAO. :-D My goodness, you are naughty. :-D Alternatively, 2x 25mm tails direct from a 100A junction block, straight to the man-cave also helps to prevent ring-circuit outages. :-D -BoomBoxDeluxe.
Hello, Mr. Photon. :-) I'm keeping OK, & I'm looking forward to getting my variac sorted out & giving it a go with some loads on it. I know mine is only a little 10A puppy, so if I plan on doing any poppage with it, I'll combine it with the Fun-Jiggery-Pokery Unit & a 3kW ballast to ensure that it doesn't suddenly become grossly overloaded. In the meanwhile though, I have a couple more kWh meter restorations to do, & I'll be sure to whip-out the camera while doing those. :-) Take care. BBD
Ah, I remember this transformer. So much creative -and destructive- fun could be had with that, as shown by inductively heating copper tube, but had to be executed for popping that kWh meter..... But yes. 400mm secondaries? Oh, the first time I saw that, I was rolling all over the floor. :-D Really though, where'd I [legally] get a flexi cable that big? DIY stores don't stock that stuff, & their faces would be like: O_o if I asked them to order-in some! Thanks Mr. Photon. -BBD.
With that pipe at 6:12 , if you were to take a 12v halogen bulb and put the two wires on it at different distances apart, it would light right? That's probably what interests me most about induction is what you're doing there, plus having that potential divider. Both together would be awesome
this is analogous to short circuit test on the transformer ... if u give rated voltage to primary winding and short the secondary winding , same heating thing will happen but nice explanation .....
Google search for "cheap high speed photography dmd" to see a link to that micromirror-based high speed cam I told you about the other week. Fun project :)
BRO I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEO'S AND I WISH I HAD THAT TRANSFORMER OR A AWESOME TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER - I DON'T HAVE ANY BIGGER ONES LIKE THAT YET :'( LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THOUGH
@Photonvids G'day... Very interestin'. Thankee. Um, d'y' have Shares in a Coalfired Power Station, or what's the story ? The amount of Current you use to make a video Upload would probably run my Lifestyle for a day to a week ! (I use 200-400 Watt Hours per day).... Ciao !
I am guessing that you don't have to pay too much electricity since you are billed for active power (W) and most of your projects consume reactive power (VA). Am I right?
Umm dumb question time. The heat is caused by the metal interacting with the fluctuating magnetic field yes? If so, how come his pliers aren't getting hot? They're just as close to the field?
The copper is basically a winding on the transformer since it is a winding it has to be shorted to cause a large current flow, it has no effect to the pliers
The most calming voice. Pure confidence.
You've burnt holes in much of what you own with a laser, shattered fuses and bulbs in your house but you still take your shoes off and wear slippers! Love it!
Safety slippers
That's amazing. Lived my whole life counting primaries and Secondaries. One turn here is giving much satisfaction, Thanks.
Can someone make a compilation of him just saying the word "volts"?
I more like the evil scientist way he says "amps"... Ammmpppppsssssssss
Aldo Hernandez
No. make a compilation of him saying I aint 'avin it, where's my 'ammer
@@mnelson10000 Ammm. Ps.
I like eletricity, but it is scary as hell...
+TJChagas i totaly agree
watchin' this vids make my balls pitty!
I know it but do you mess around with thousands of volts very close to you very often? Stils scary...
+Landyn kohler That is slowly climbing my list of most hated quotes.
sounds a bit like women innit
excellent high current video!
Watching Photonic reminds me of watching Steve Irwin, except with deadly electricity instead of deadly animals. You just know he's gonna fuck around too much and end up killing himself one day, but it's fascinating anyway.
Perfect demonstration of how a transformer works!
I like this "knee button" that you had to trigger the Input xD
Love this video, Inductive fields have always been like magic to me.
so many ways to light cigarettes...
@@user-qx7tm5df8j that is so true if only cigarettes were never invented am I right or am I right
I hope those are steel toe capped safety slippers
Could be a bit risky with the induced magnetic fields
+Brannon McBride there are some without steel caps only with glas fiber
they're not steel caps then though, are they?
I actually have one of these I use it for my arc furnace can deliver about 60 Volts @200amps quite a beasty transformer quite efficient too doesn't heat up much unless I drive it crazy
Exact same transformer?
Nothing else in the world quite like that satisfying 50/60Hz rumble.
Our 60 Hz in the states sounds so ominous, nasty. Your 50 Hz sounds much more benign! You didn't POP it! Ain't 'avin' it! Keep putting out these "HOT" vids!
Quantum Leap Our power lines have more bass >:D
Quantum Leap I prefer the ominous tone.
***** The ominous tone keeps me at a safe distance for sure!
+Quantum Leap theres no big difference, the vibrations u might be hearing at 60Hz are probably other things rattling around
True enough, at 60 Hz, everything seems to resonate!
Love your videos man. I'm a service technician for commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment. I always wanted to put on my ticket.. Oven was low on freon, charged oven back up and applied 480 volts to ignitor. Tested for correct operation. Unit is working properly or something like that (ha ha). I ain't 'avin' it! Ha!

your understanding of electricity is terrifying to me. evil wizard.
I know. That carpet! Looks like a fire hazard to me.
health and saftey paperwork is a fire hazard

Intro
Photoninduction:today
My subtitles:to die
I've missed you, Photon. So very, very much. :D
Yep, induction hot plates use that very same principle as well. I can't believe that you wouldn't find anyone who you could give the transformer away to.....
You need a flir for videos like this.
His flir would probably get popped ;D hey I would love to see a flir aimed at the car battery he was charging at extreme current that time. Especially during the first two minutes or so immediately after he applied the 100A of charging current. It was a shame that battery never exploded, a bit of an anti climax really. Hey BBI, when is the 16 pill LDMOS amp video coming? XD I want sparks and flames!
I love this guy. His health and safety video is hilarious..
Brilliant
Voltage is electromotive force
Amperage is electrical current
Wattage is the sum of the two
As the copper single shorted turn gets hot you will here the hum in the core getting louder again due to the increase in the coppers resistance as the fault current reduces in proportion to its temperature. The resistance increases by 3 times or more when it hits 500+ degrees and glows orange. The hum level is proportional typically to the flux in the core, sounds like the the shorted turn when cold is loading down the primary side reducing the flux in the core. Look like a S.P. pole pig core.
Ahhhh.... now I get how induction cooking works. Thanks for that 👌
Just wanted to say I love your shows keep doing them I am learning a lot thank you
Your knackered if you need to convert the Naughty Boy's playroom into a room for a baby Photon :)
Thank you very much. I simply love your videos. Super interesting and educational as well as hilarious.
Thanks for uploading vids even though you probably have work in the morning :-D
Other way around.
Current is the side of the river and voltage is how fast the river is moving.
Put an extension cord through the field, and plug-in it's own ends?
ABSOLUTE LMAO!!!!!
That would have been seriously funny to watch. :-D
As soon as the plug made contact with the socket.....BZZZZ! Fizz-fizz..... pvc melting like cheeze under a grill, then.....*POP*

Yay! Glad you reuploaded this one mate. Thanks.
That thing does get quiet when the secondary is around the primary winding, valuable educational vid's, these.. :)
You got to love that humming
Glad to see this one back up! I recon that smaller ring of copper pipe was about to melt when it was glowing orange. Just a quick question though, what did that transformer come out of originally? Once again, thanks for re uploading.
10 years ago and still no like 😕
always interesting to watch your vids
Photonic you are the best. One question... whats the name of the intro song. Who did it and the name? Fantastic videos man.
I can hear several harmonics from that transformer! Cool stuff.
Just wondered what your average electric bill is?
Mikey Peters not much as he uses a transformer so
Ask the neighbours as he has wired his supply up to theirs
Never did a truer word come out of my screen while I was on youtube. I'm proud to be an 18 year old geezer.
Induction is akin to magic.
I like the dead man switch, safety first.
Would a slope analogy be more accurate?
Voltage = height of the slope
current = the amount of electron 'balls' flowing down it.
Now, Imagine taking that same loop he used lastly. And doing that while it's full of water. ;D Steam galor!
3:49 Cocaine!!
U2U2s Music haha

Will drainpipe withstand 200kV, or would an alkathene water- or gas-main be a better bet?

Induction and electromagnetism is a fun thing.
You need to get your hands on a substation transformer. :D
that little attic must have the most sweet scent
Yankee candles new scent. "Burnt plastic"

Will the xfmr work as a wireless charger for my Iphone. How )ong should it take? Great video. Can you make one charging a phone? Tnx". Tom
can u make a "room tour"? :)
2000v at 10A would be insane. I wonder how the arcs are from that?
100 amps in the house doesn't seem like it's possible.

How many times do you think this guy has done meth?
Could you possibly give a short scientific explanation for the various tests you carry out? E.g the cooper turns red because xxxxxx
The transformer induces current in the copper. The copper is in a loop, therefore is a short. That creates heat, making it glow
whyrtyre actually is the hz in the main frame. It's cycling through a faster rate hence causing excitement. Noise, inducted magnetism and heat.
@@Gunzee WTF.........
It's the shifting of the polarity at 50 cycles per second (50 Hz)
Wonderful sounds, I learnt singing music intervals to that.
You've got quite the steady hand there
Awesome experiment.
Google search for "cheap high speed photography dmd" to see a link to that micromirror-based high speed cam I told you about the other week. Fun project :)
Lol! S cos(phi) = W, S sin(phi) = VAr, S=VA (Apparent Power), cos(phi) = power factor, VAr = Reactive Power, W=Active Power

I am guessing that you don't have to pay too much electricity since you are billed for active power (W) and most of your projects consume reactive power (VA). Am I right?
Magnetostriction from the mains frequency causes the hum
My one good transformer came from rs components in the uk and it was shipped to Australia and it works great
should've put an extension cord through the field, then plugged the plug in it's own socket, resulting in a Self overloading Extension lead!!
Would be cool to try that with the copper tube connected together and a way for water to run inside it.
PhotonicInduction branded induction cooker!
What is the magnetising current in that transformer? Must be quite high...
Fascinating stuff as always.
It's worth half your name xD
I don't understand how these transformers work,
and how you can just touch it.., how low does the V need to be for you to be able to touch it?
Umm dumb question time.
The heat is caused by the metal interacting with the fluctuating magnetic field yes?
If so, how come his pliers aren't getting hot?
They're just as close to the field?

were do you get a big old transformer like that at I love to find one to make a good varable dc power supply.
