There was a guy in my HS physics class that built a massive capacitor… like 3 feet (1 meter) long. It was similar to EB’s “tiny” capacitor in that it was aluminum foil rolled up with wax paper as the dielectric. He charged it up, and because in and of itself the charging doesn’t appear impressive, he decided to discharge it… himself. It threw him about 7 feet onto the floor. The class was impressed, he was… ‘ok’… and I believe he got an “A”. Come to think of it… that very well may have been ElectroBOOM…!
Imagine being ElectroBOOM's wife, constantly hearing this stuff from the across the house wondering if this was it, was this the shock that killed him.
Whenever the lights flicker in Vancouver I wonder what Mehdi is up to. Edit: He posts the videos on his Pateron before they go live here. I strongly suggest supporting him!
That big shock, reminds me when I was under my desk unplugging a UPS to move it from my old power bar that I didn't trust and wanted to replace (it was rated for 12 amps, I prefer everything matches or is higher than the 15 amps of a wall outlet due to a fire in the past). The plug was being stubborn and I was twisting my body in an uncomfortable way to access it. To brace myself for balance I grabbed my desk, a steel desk, not thinking as I pulled out the plug and as it came out my finger slipped and touched one of the prongs. I didn't feel the shock in my hand or arms. I felt it in my chest back of my neck as that was pressed against part of the desk as well and ended up getting kicked back by it. My roommate was a paramedic and I yelled for them to come check me, said I took current across the chest and to give me a check over to confirm that my racing heart was just panic, I was having short term vision issues as well and wasn't able to move correctly and apparently had slurred speech. They looked me over and then informed me that it wasn't my heart that had them worried, it was that my breathing and voice told them my diaphragm was still acting up and my behavior meant my brain got some electroshock therapy. Took me 15 minutes to get to normal again. When I went back to work they grabbed a dog chain and forced me to use it to ground myself on the same arm that I was pulling plugs with.
@@taunokekkonen5733 My guess is that one was actually unplanned. weirdly enough just the look of it doesn't look as dangerous as this situation to a amateur. while it is actually the opposite.
To the neurodivergent people like me, the joke is that Mehdi teaches people not to attempt certain dangerous electrical acts by attempting them himself while maintaining his safety.
0:57 feels unsettlingly different than the other times he gets shocked in his videos. There's no comedic element to this. It seems like he was legitimately panicked and in pain that bordered on being lethal (not saying all the other times they weren't.) Absolute legend for including this, showing how terrifying electrical shocks can be for the human body. Thank you for what you do Electroboom.
Shocks where the current enter by one hand and leave by the other are the worst because the current passes right truth the hearth and make it stop for a time

This 15 year old (well 15 in 1966) made a rolled foil and capacitor for a 15kv neon sign spark gap interrupter to feed a home wound Tesla coil. It held up for about 10 seconds before burning through similar to shown here. My injury from it was noting electrical but a slip while stabbing into it with a pointy kitchen knife. I managed to cut through the nerve at the middle joint of my left index finger. Other than the first instant there was no real pain and no sensation for that front 2 inches of the finger. The Doc put in 1 stitch but said there was nothing more he could do. Then about 1/4 inch per month sensation progressively returned as the nerve obviously regenerated. In less than a year it was all back to normal except for times i would accidentally hit that spot and for a second it would fell like I was getting stabbed again. That gradually declined and hasn't happened in the last few years. Anyway ElectroBoom show many of the electrical dangers but also be ware of other side effect accidents!
This guy surviving these videos is like a testament to multiverse theory combined with the infinite monkey theorem. There is no way he could survive without so many universes to have come first where he hadn't.
@@stevencarlson5422 yeah hahaha reminds me of my dad yelling at me when i was playing with a motorised toy car when he was watching the news as it screwed the picture
I don't know much so correct me if I'm wrong, it's definitely super painful and can burn skin and possibly nerves, but is is lethal? As the current is only going from one finger to the the next can that affect his heart?
i dont think he shocked himself on purpose in this video. High voltage at a point it gets incredibly painful and makes 120v and even 240v seem like a friendly flirt. i've been shocked by a capacitor circuit that felt like my arm was crushed. I could still feel it for hours as the pain slowly faded. it can cause some nerve damage as well. he gets squeamish in videos when he tries to shock himself on purpose. involuntarily throwing a screwdriver or striking a odd pose at break neck speed may be funny to you but its very painful and dangerous. it would be incredibly stupid to subject oneself to this kind of torture on purpose. if he said he's done it on purpose its likely not all true. its easy to forget a circuit is live when its doesn't do anything or while plugging it in.
Audible frequency of the voltage, like a tone or note. If you record it on a slow-mo camera, like 1/8x on most cell phones now, and then listen to the frequency with a piano tuner or instrument tuner, you can multiply it back by 8x and find out a rough frequency.
i was soo scared this time because i was like what if it decides to arc to his head instead if he gets a tiny bit too close??? but hes smart and probably has the proper precautions in place
I worked in a company making power supplies, when we did high voltage power supplies, they needed to be tested before they were potted, so we used flourinert this stopped all arcing, enabled us to probe for testing etc, it was truly a magical fluid, in your case, i'd have had the spark gaps just above the surface of the fluid, it looks mad, sticking high voltage electronics into what looks like water.
this marx generator implies that you could put many many more of these in a longer chain and get some truly massive arcs. it would probably even sound like a thunderclap too as it went off, but i imagine it would take a much longer time to charge fully. it would also probably be the super-sized equivalent of a bug zapper if you got too close, though.
Your heart is a muscle, it causes your muscles to contract and probably felt like he was having a heart attack. In fact an electric shock can cause cardiac arrest
Yeah actually, this was probably his most dangerous example yet, that shock was across his body, he really could have potentially caused harm to himself in this.
Man, I really love this channel, my second-hand terror actually helps cement the lessons. When you reached for the blue capacitor, I knew right away "Wait no! You didn't discharge it! D:"
Would a blown 240V household fuse make a good sparkgap i wonder? So balls hanging in air and needing adjusting, a self contained gap you can easily solder to.
We used to make these in electronics classes though we used the classic Cockroft Walton multiplier circuit where you use diodes and caps instead. The smell of ozone coming off them was pretty full on from what I remember!!
I have a feeling that he sets it up in a way that makes it less than lethal and always avoids situations that can create a circuit through himself to the ground, then gets shocked both on purpose and accidentally. High voltage discharges isn't what kills you, amps through your upper body does.
In this or another video about this Marx generator you argue that the sparks in the gaps go simultaneously because the first one produces ionizing radiation. I think this can be easily tested by placing some 'walls' between the gaps so that the ionizing radiation cannot get to the second one and so on. I actually think the explanation is much easier: When the first gap jumps (which should be a little bit shorter distance than the others, the subsequent gap suddenly has almost twice the voltage it had before and is immediately bound to spark, the subsequent gaps increase even further step by step. This is why they all go `exactly` simultaneously.
I believe he said it in one of his LaTITY videos, in response to a clip in which someone was using the ionizing radiation produced by a literal radioactive substance to allow arcs to cross a small spark gap. There's a lot of EB videos I still haven't seen yet, so he might have also discussed it in other videos.
He's far too knowledgeable to receive an accidentally electric shock. That means He's deliberately allowing himself to get shocked for our entertainment. As an ex electrical engineer, who had received _many_ electric socks, I can tell you they are extremely painful. This means the presenter is damn brave to allow himself to get zapped. He must have balls the size of coconuts.
My father was a cardiologist and I am an electrical engineer. You'd be surprised at how small a shock can kill you. My father had a patient one time that received a non fatal electric shock and hours later presented at emergency with a serious cardiac arrhythmia. Had he not made it to emergency his heart would have been beating erratically until it killed him days later.
He's correct, they are used for lightning tests. At my last job we had one for transformer basic insulation level (BIL) test. It had max output voltage of 600kV
Yeah... it felt the same, but this time I was ready to jump away, if i didn't forget and tried to save the tower! Fortunately though with this one the power isn't continuous and it would just give me a single large shock, which I received multiple times already!
That shock in the beginning was genuinely scary. It's one thing when he jumps and yells, but that worries look on his face as he gasped showed it was really something else.
Imma level with you. That's TERRIFYING.
Agree

Mehdi's Nervous system :
THAT SCARED THE SH*T OUT OF ME
Would a blown 240V household fuse make a good sparkgap i wonder?
So balls hanging in air and needing adjusting, a self contained gap you can easily solder to.
0:56 that's actually terrifying
Yeah it's terrifying
I can't control my laughing 😂🤣
Yeah

"video video"

We used to make these in electronics classes though we used the classic Cockroft Walton multiplier circuit where you use diodes and caps instead. The smell of ozone coming off them was pretty full on from what I remember!!

Let’s just appreciate the fact that he took a potentially lethal shock for a video
He does it in every video xD
That's all Electroboom's vids tbh. Another fatal one was the Jacob's ladder.
@@maciek-ns8xr but this one is bigger
I have a feeling that he sets it up in a way that makes it less than lethal and always avoids situations that can create a circuit through himself to the ground, then gets shocked both on purpose and accidentally. High voltage discharges isn't what kills you, amps through your upper body does.
frysebox1 so did he touch it with his fucking feet?
2:18 ah yes I love when capacitors scream.
Ye s*8t
In this or another video about this Marx generator you argue that the sparks in the gaps go simultaneously because the first one produces ionizing radiation. I think this can be easily tested by placing some 'walls' between the gaps so that the ionizing radiation cannot get to the second one and so on. I actually think the explanation is much easier: When the first gap jumps (which should be a little bit shorter distance than the others, the subsequent gap suddenly has almost twice the voltage it had before and is immediately bound to spark, the subsequent gaps increase even further step by step. This is why they all go `exactly` simultaneously.
I would guess that the discharge progresses at the speed of light, even without light radiation.
I believe he said it in one of his LaTITY videos, in response to a clip in which someone was using the ionizing radiation produced by a literal radioactive substance to allow arcs to cross a small spark gap.
There's a lot of EB videos I still haven't seen yet, so he might have also discussed it in other videos.
Right. In fact once the first gap fires the others progressively follow suit in nanoseconds. It's called "erection" in the business.
7:46 Now that's some high voltage music!
Sounds like that guy who said Ratata I’m in alabama

alex uhhhhh sure
He's far too knowledgeable to receive an accidentally electric shock. That means He's deliberately allowing himself to get shocked for our entertainment. As an ex electrical engineer, who had received _many_ electric socks, I can tell you they are extremely painful. This means the presenter is damn brave to allow himself to get zapped.
He must have balls the size of coconuts.
yeah . content creators man ...
true
He definitely has some genuine shocks, but I think he intentionally ignores some basic safety
My father was a cardiologist and I am an electrical engineer. You'd be surprised at how small a shock can kill you. My father had a patient one time that received a non fatal electric shock and hours later presented at emergency with a serious cardiac arrhythmia. Had he not made it to emergency his heart would have been beating erratically until it killed him days later.
Wow!
Where can I get eletric socks!
They sound cool!
I have no clue what he’s saying but it’s entertaining
3:58 that reaction is so funny and it feels like it was a genuine one
2:11 "due to corona discharge"
That Corona virus thing ruins everything. ;-)
"corona discharge"
You mean sneezing
Yes, here you can see it clearly.

He's correct, they are used for lightning tests. At my last job we had one for transformer basic insulation level (BIL) test. It had max output voltage of 600kV

Yeah... it felt the same, but this time I was ready to jump away, if i didn't forget and tried to save the tower! Fortunately though with this one the power isn't continuous and it would just give me a single large shock, which I received multiple times already!

@@Sp-fn5zi patreons get early access to videos
That shock in the beginning was genuinely scary. It's one thing when he jumps and yells, but that worries look on his face as he gasped showed it was really something else.
Was literally waiting for him to hold the capacitor with bare hands. Made my day😂😂
I know he does it as a joke to show us what NOT to do but I still hated it 😂 I get so nervous watching him lol
