I MEANT SHORTEST PATH THROUGH AIR! 😂 Also "electricity takes the path of least resistance" is wrong! It goes more into the path of least resistance, but it still goes through the higher resistance too. But in the air it breaks though shortest path, then I guess it curls as the air heats up... hmmm, something to check there
Yesss!! Finally some professional confirms my idea that electricity would take *all* available paths, but the amount of current passing through each path would depend on the resistance of that path. Thanks Mehdi, for reassuring that I'm not as insane as I think I am.
When the air break down and ionizes it becomes very low resistance so electricity will flow almost entirely through that conductive plasma...which behaves like a hot gas and starts rising and spreading out. Videos of arcs in microgravity are interesting since they tend to stay more in one place.
@@imranroy4731keep in mind that this is only true for low frequency signals. When higher frequencies are involved, resistance may no longer be the dominant factor and we must use total impedance instead.
3:50 Mehdi didn't really explain the specifics here, so for anyone interested: What this is depicting is step voltage - basically because the ground is relatively high resistance the point where the high voltage source contacts winds up at or near that voltage, and the voltage reduces the further away from the source, similar to a resistive voltage divider. The danger is if you take a step towards or away from the voltage source then your feet will be at 2 different voltage potentials, and your body is far more conductive than the ground so this can result in enough of a voltage difference to kill you.
Ah, so that's why they showed putting your feet together (same potential) then hopping on one foot. Jeez, I already get enough anxiety with hopscotch. Death hopscotch would not be fun.

I actually talked to a employee from Keysight technology in Santa Rosa. All I had to do is mention ElectroBOOM and he started l laughing and said I love watching that guy.
I don't know all the details, but I thought MOVs that they use in typical surge protectors wear out over time, and there isn't a way to test if they've failed without destroying them in the process. Hence you need to replace surge protectors with some regularity to be sure that it will function as desired. The flip side of this is if you buy good ones they have lifetime warranties and really a lightning strike isn't going to be completely stopped by almost anything so really what you're buying is the warranty, so it's not worth worrying about.
I absolutely love the way you explain electricity! I am currently getting my undergraduate degree in Computer Science but my passion is Electricity! You make me want to jump ship to electrical engineering so badly! It may just be how funny you are?

Either way, I love YOU and your channel! Thankyou sacrificing your time and body in the name of science!
6:25 I bought couples to rectify. The principle behind is that they have fluffy conductive threads that expands due to repulsion when charged with static electricity. Similar principle to why hair raises up when charged in the attempt to mitigate charge from pointy objects. Although surface area of those is no where near enough to prevent any static charge build up.

Hey ElectroBOOM, have you ever seen those videos of people managing to display video signals on their oscilloscopes? It might be a good idea to experiment with, hoping you have old analog composite or component cables (the YWR, or RGB ones) and a video source. Or maybe doing it in reverse and seeing if you can just turn any old television you may have laying around into some sort of x-y oscilloscope?
6:45 how to make a whole country salty at you: read Italian like a drunken spanish fused with french. ( They could have included a "mamma mia" at least )
Maybe the question about the power-strip should have specified that they're talking about the surge protector? Or have I been lied to and the MOV in surge protectors *doesn't* wear out over time from "small" spikes?
Disclaimer: This is from my experience with good and bad power strips, obviously I cannot confirm if a particular brand or model is well built or not, even the same make and model that I have may have undergone major design changes or be outsourced from a different factory. Always do your own research, check the reviews, google the model (use the barcode if available) to see if there was a recall, suspect if the price is too good to be true... It wears out very slowly unless the mains supply is really "dirt" but in a good power strip (or whatever application) design it's usually not the end of the world because each MOV will be in series with a ceramic/plastic housing thermal fuse which is mechanically clamped to the body of the MOV via heat shrink tubing or some similar method, in this way as soon as the varistor approaches the temperature at which the plastic of the strip could begin to soften, the fuse opens, interrupting the flow of current through the MOV and rendering the strip unusable. That is the case with any power strip manufactured or distributed by well-known manufacturers of electrical and computer equipment. Even if there is no thermal fuse, nothing serious should happen if the plastic casing and the other components of the power strip are made of fire retardant materials, in which case the MOV will disintegrate into dust or just explode depending on gravity of the glitch, but just making some crackling noise and releasing some magical smoke. If you have an unknown brand or you suspect that it may be an imitation, you may have to disassemble it to see how it is built, the good quality ones have screws, even if they have security heads and cannot be easily removed, if the case halves are welded/glued it can be assumed that it is so cheaply made that they couldn't even afford the screws and/or don't want you to see how poorly built it is. Some of these low quality ones can even degrade in a few months exposed to sunlight (even through a glass window) and although at first glance they appear to be in good condition and may have not discolored, when you go to pick them up in your hand the plastic will disintegrate leaving you holding the exposed live (deadly) conductors.
I LOVE seeing the copper vaporized and the green plasma it creates when the lightning discharge hits the wire. All of that smoke left behind is the vaporized copper.
Actually, power strips do you have an expiration date. Specifically, the power strips that are surge protectors. How long depends upon the strip and what quality of power you’re dealing with. Two years is a little short, but I’d replace them all after five years.
1:50 Fun fact: Those "sparks" cool off so quickly, he doesn't feel anything but a tickle. You can even hold your hand in front of it without it being painful! Electric sparks are something different. They are actually very dangerous, because there are also bigger parts of metal flying off that won't cool down very fast.
Those sparks come from the fine metal powder that is spontaneously combusting in ambient oxygen as it's being sprayed. It's not going to be painful for short durations but: 1. your skin will be covered with burned metal powder (rust) and 2. if you stay under it long enough, it will burn... like the spark spray from an angle grinder can easily ignite your clothes if you're not careful about where you aim the spray.
You need topics for videos? And make use of your 5GHz scope? Try this: - High frequency and high speed signals - Signal propagation - Impedance control - Signal jammer of some sort (WiFi, GNSS...) - Conventional parts in high frequencies - ...
It might be better to say that electricity 'prefers' the path of lowest resistance. If it 'always' chooses the 'shortest distance' a Jacobs Ladder couldn't work 😜
was going to say path of least resistance. the ionized gas has less resistance. Since it gets hot it rises, however it is still less resistance than the non-ionized air, so the arc is sustained even though the distance is longer.
3:46 yeah about that, the shock of the electricity shocks the muscle at place so the muscles cannot move. Therefore the muscles cannot let go of the wires
When you address the new Veritasium video about power not traveling in wires, can you address why 120V/60Hz power does not electrocute you until you touch the wires?
6:45 Mehdi, "le prese multiple devono essere sostituite dopo 2 anni" is Italian, wich means "power strips need to be replaced after two years" You made me die from laughing😂
regarding that hop on one foot post. when lightning struck 50 feet away i started to hopscotch immediately. it may be a primal instinct from natural selection from some primeval time when lightning was more common
When you have unlimited current available from your power supply the 10 ohm resistor will pass all the current it can. But the power supply still has current available so the 20 ohm resistor will pass whatever current it can. So what if your power supply is current limited to below what the 10 ohm resistor can pass. How much will go through the 20 ohm resistor, if any. That is a really good question.
@@ecospider5 cool! So it's basically because there is a limited amount of electrons? Or more like a fraction of a nano second or something the resistance goes up to balance the flow or something like that?
He has another video where he explains that the amount of current is inversely proportional to the resistance. But yeah, a valid point against that sentence which is incorrect and misleading.
6:45 I love your Italian Mehdi! And thank you, I've always read that advice and thought it sounded stupid and was only a bad commercial ad to sell more 🤔
1:44 Sorry, but I gotta rectify this one. That's a cold spark fountain. Not perfectly safe, but a lot less painful than you might think. Kinda tickles actually. Electricity follows a superposition of lowest resistance between all available paths.
The static in the air and the idea to create a lightning strike by shorting the earth with a key and kite makes way more sense. Not just making a tall metal object and waiting for lightning to "happen".
