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…!
Anything for the A
How did an electric discharge throw him back?, did he discharge it with a pipe bomb?
Thank god he didn't get an L
Why would it push him back though?

Thanks I love your experiments especially the high voltage ones. You are so funny! But also very clever. Love your channel keep up the great work!!! Geoff
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.
0:56 It scared the shit out of me when he grabbed his heart. Please take care, we don’t want to loose you Mehdi.

OMG SO PERFECT!! NOT ENOUGH THUMBS UP FOR THIS COMMENT!
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.
Love it, Happy Christmas.
I would have loved to see a second gap sparking due to the Radio energy generated.
It's amazing you've made physics fun. His reactions to the output sparks is priceless .
He's so good at making electronics, that he can pretend to know nothing "safely"

@@edma06 I do care, it's very good for entertainment so I like that he does it.
Yeah did he read the safety book?
I like how he's super calm at the beginning and as soon as its anything remotely interesting AAAAAA
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.

You can tell Mehdi simply wings it with the script. He has no papers, no rehearsing, he just talks. That's a good thing, since it shows what all he knows and remembers of electricity, and it also makes the "Do not try this at home" part seem much more caring.

That actually seemed like a dangerous accident. As most of his 'accidents' are acted and planned.

@@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.
@@taunokekkonen5733 yeah ofcourse it was an accident you could see his hands shaking like hell
Yeah that was scary if it happened the way it looked. Microwave Transformers have claimed a lot of lives.
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.

AMAZING work Mehdi!! I could be your biggest fan! I'm in the process of learning Electrical Engineering. I Have a question, (hopefully not a dumb one!) Once the spark gaps fire and all the capacitors fall in series, and if capacitors block DC, (I'm trying to understand the flow,) how do the electrons pass the dielectric between plates of the caps? In order for them to add up, and even be in series!?.
I keep coming back every now and then to check if the man's still alive.

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.
Very interesting experiment, congratulations and that you for shearing you big knowledge

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.

@@dallagen3423 Well he once said something about an "Editor reveal at .... subs"
0:57 I believe what's happened was that when you had both hands on the circuit intended to charge the capacitor, your body wound up being the path of least resistance, which caused you to jump from your seat like that.
Excuse me for replying to my own comment, but I'd like to add that ElectroBOOM jumped from his seat due to the high voltage imparted on his body by the battery which was meant to charge the capacitor.
Brother,its good to know someone else beside myself knows what a high voltage DC kick feels like.
I was working on a tesla coil I built from scratch and my primary was 15,500 vdc.
I forgot to discharge my caps before reaching across the transformer and BOOM !
I got hit...sent me flying backward into my couch,where the couch and I slid an additional 4 feet backward across the wood floor.

smart people, @Dotson! :D
Your videos are electrifyingly entertaining. Thank you.
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.
Mehdi: hehe this is interesting
Capacitor: click click
Mehdi: The charges are flying over air!
Capacitor: *SKREEEEEEEEEE*
I'm still trying to figure out what that weird screech was lol.🤣
After the years of shocks he's a few diodes short of a full-bridge rectifier
also every xenomorph in the aliens franchise: SKREEEEEEEEEE
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.
ElectroBOOM: WHAT DA FAAAAAA
Electroboom: almost dies

@Aki and Tamara Videos 2.0 Doggo Da One liked your comment
Hmm yes my guy here made a defilibrator at home hmm yes
I re-watch ElectroBOOM's videos periodically and I'm pleased to see I understand them more and more. I remember very well the first time I saw this one, I was amazed but I didn't understand shit. Now it all seems rather clear to me :)
What would be the impact of having capacitors of lower or higher capacitance if any though?
theoretically, assuming they are rated for the same voltage, larger capacitors can hold more charge and therefore will take longer to charge. The arc will also last longer, although it's going to be a difference of a split second to a slightly longer split second. the final voltage should stay the same.
so pretty much the frequency of the system would slow down with more capacitance and not much else would change, assuming ideal behavior, but arcs aren't exactly ideal anyway.

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

Try using chokes instead of resistors as the charging elements. I made mine by winding several layers of plastic-coated wire around ferrite aerial rods. I did when I built Marx Banks years ago. But a word of warning - the arrangement generates huge EMPs. I had to repair a workshop full of damaged equipment after conducting some tests once.

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?
