Hey y'all! I went through my old videos and found out I also looked at WiFi boosting foil'ish thingy in my old video: th-cam.com/video/clQK3ACtnZ0/w-d-xo.html I was worried I might be contradicting myself! But after checking, in the old fake video they claimed putting a cut can around the antenna boosts WiFi all around, which is untrue. It only focuses in one direction like I mention in both videos. So... GOOD! I think I'm saying the same thing!
As a networking expert, I tried to explain many times to people why WiFi is always worse than cables. But you did a way better job than me even tho you're an electrical engineer haha
The man on the high tension cables had fall protection on. He was wearing a full body harness and was dragging the hook and fall arrestor behind him since it clips on between his shoulder blades.
@@veloxsouth: I ran through the top 100 or so. At 2k comments I’m not spending all day speed reading so someone doesn’t get their feeling hurt because they got stepped on a little.
"he is not wearing safety gear and about 80M above the ground" well apart from all the safety gear he is wearing and being tethered to one of the lines with a full body safety harness.
Yeah I saw a tether too. Plus he looks agile and has a hand on the cable. Even if both feet slipped he could probably grab on anyway. I think he knows what he's doing.
Note that he used one hand, so he would only burn his fingers, not go into cardiac arrest, and further used a hand pose that looks like it would pull his fingers out, rather than holding onto the glasses. Professional idiot is a pretty good description!
pssst .. don't tell anyone ... but he knew. The "mistakes" are delibrate. . . . Doesn't mean it isn't all great fun. I knew that Walter White wasn't really making meth, but I still love Breaking Bad. :)
@@SimonBuchanNz For the old timers, Mehdi is like Mr. Bean for electronics! Which is extra funny because i'm pretty sure the actual Mr. Bean has a PhD in Electrical engineering.
"He's not wearing safety gear" Yes he is. He's wearing a harness and you can catch glimpses between/past his legs of the safety line clipped to one of the lower strands of conductor.
The cable is what grounds him to the wire, probably not the right term, but the cable that catches him as he falls is also what keeps him safe from the electricity
No the lanyard is connected to his harness and the wire in case he falls and he doesn't need to be grounded as they are the same amount of electricity as explained in the video
@@schollls5973 You would rather be "grounded" through a high resistance (through clothes and gloves) than through a low resistance wire. Just for limiting ESD during the moment you get on/off
Re: 13:48 Nope, it's not about skin effect, HVDC lines would also have multiple cables per phase . It's about the strenght (V/m) of electric field around an object, which is inversely proportional to a radius of the object. If the radius is small and the electric field is strong, the air may be ionized and current will flow. If there are many conductive objects nearby at the same potential the electric field (as measured in V/m) between them is weak. In practice they act as a single object with big radius and the field around that group is also weaker. No ionization, no losses.
2:39 This is actually a pretty good representation of the difference between TCP and UDP (they're different ways data is transmitted over the internet). Though I'd say something even more accurate for UDP would be if someone tossed the packet to you.
12:33 If you ever doubt yourself, don't. Yes, you are entertaining. But you're also informative! You helped me understand capacitors and inductors by explaining that they resist changes in voltage and current (respectively).
@@coler154 It's not like the YT ad before and during the actual video, when it's the content creator who's making the ad and works on it so it's not just tacked and but sewn into the speech I always watch it. Mehdi does it very well and even if I'm watching an old video of his I usually watch the ad parts too. Mehdi deserves it!
I know nothing about electricity but still finds him very much entertaining. This proves that a TH-cam video can be just as interesting as any others if the presentation is clear and well-made!
When the rod caught on fire I thought back to Grant Thompson melting rocks with carbon rods from batteries. He said it was normal for them to catch on fire the first time you used them. Grant was a good man
14:00 Dude walking on the cables has his harness and the clip is behind him. When he takes his last step you can see the clip between his legs hooked on the cable.
The little green boxes, with the two ends yelling at each other, is one of the best visual illustrations of how modern computer networks (TCP) operate that I've seen. It's really not far off.
Problem is how the hell he got there and will come off? Because he will touch the tower which should do boom as its grounded and he is touching HV lines
That was definitely the biggest sign this was fake. I work in home repair, I KNOW how much water loves to use even the smallest crack to go everywhere but where you intend.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 like seriously water will slip through sealed wallpaper that's like a 1mn gap 😂 it's fucking ridculous and creates huge water bubbles anything and everything.
2:42 that's a Layer 4 of TCPIP Model, sir. TCP and UDP, if you use DHCP or something you don't care about reliability, congestion and flow, use UDP(fast but not sure) but you care about reliability, congestion and flow, use TCP(slow but sure) TCP have syn synack ack/nak ..... fin finack ack/nak ..... and how it work like this clip in 2:42 but first Client and Server make handshake and send data or payload.
the last clip of the dude walking on the power lines hes actually wearing a harness and its attached to one of the lines..so yes he IS wearing safety gear 80 meters above sand lol

"Why do you have a cable running around your room for the internet when your Wi-Fi does the same speed?" This is now my default video to link to those people. Thank you.

Those alligator clips are usually plated metal, wonder if that made it difficult for them to bond. Would be cool to see if copper/bronze brazing could work too
Would have been a bad weld even if it worked since a part the carbon from the graphite would go into the steel making it super hard but also brittle. Also the lack of inert gas results in the formation of oxides etc.
The WiFi skit is the most simple way I have seen for something technical. And this is for both RF and IP communication, very well done. I am going to have to share when I have to explain why an AP is bad in some areas.
