Frankenstein video, I was expecting that gel to come to life. I have heard how people literally explode or melt in electrical accidents, now I fully understand.
natural to be afraid of the unknown, it keeps us alive. do stupid things we don't understand and we end up not so alive. I tend to stay away from high voltage myself.
VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa not nececeraly, the ammount of hum we hear, is directly proportionate to the operating frequency: this is why even the highest grade mains transformer still hums a lot under full load, and even the best grade flyback transformer (q-r mode) makes a really high pitched whistle (NTSC 15KHz)
You and your calm voice and this setup seriously belong in a movie torture-scene: "Let's try 1000 volts shall we..." "Bit of a spark there..." "Oh that smells bad..." "Now enough of this ballistics gel, let's try it all over again, on your arm..."
tubeist- dan would be better if he did a torture scene for a gangster movie.. he's the town's known problem solver.. and explains to the problem exactly how he will solve it.
its the best feeling ever to have you uploading now on a weekly basis. im glad to tell you that i now am getting my electric apprenticship this summer with a local electric co operative. that comes from you giving me interest in electricity. THANK YOU MR PHOTON
Great to see you back! I love the bit where you're holding the rods with 300A at the arse end of them, it might prove to some people that although it's the amps that kill you, you need the electrickery to get it through you!
I opened up my sub box this lonely night and thought "ugh there won't be anything here". And my heart lifts to the heavens. A new photon video??? AAALRIGHT!
Good to see you back, I did see the upload before this but didn't have time to comment on it. With that gel often being used as an analog of human skin (albeit for completely different tests), I can't help but picture skin melting in a similar manner when you start probing that stuff.
That camera was VERY unhappy with the high voltage experiments. Hope you didn't ruin it as I LOVE your videos. This was definitely a fun experiment to watch, looking forward to any additional.
+Photonicinduction you should get a tower fan or a regular floor fan and overload the motor on that while the motor is still pushing fan blades and while your at it, see if it will have enough lift to lift off the ground.
+Darren Boss they would run away from that crazy Photon... i don't think anyone wants to make collab with him... collin fuze.. (or how is that guy colled) holy shit that would be awesome...
Does Colin live in the UK? If so, I really want to see a collab. It'd be absolutely mad. Nuts. Colin has everything engineering and photon has everything electrical.
Photon has everything engineering and Furze has everything construction wise. But nevermind them, I'd like to see a colab with the slowmo guys, if they aren't too terrified of these sort of things.
You should license these for distribution as safety training videos. Episode 1: Why 100kv will turn you into a melted pile of glowing goop Awesome video, welcome back!
It's the impurities in water that make it conductive. Pure distilled water is a much better insulator. I'm picking it wouldn't make much difference though as the substances in the gel are probably conductive anyway.
Realy cool video. Have seen some channels use Ballistic gel to test fire arms like guns and slingshots, but never seen electricity pass through it. You man just got a new SUB :D
Marco Polo because the camera cant capture the frequency of the voltage, you cannot reach a high voltage like that without increasing the frequency, thus it being very high.
Interesting results, I was surprised to see a lack of cavitation leading to explosive failure under the HV testing. It seems the material resists the sublimation enough to prevent the sudden build up of pressure. It's hardly an analogue for flesh electrically at those ridiculous voltages and currents as the water in flesh does not resist the sublimation and resultant cavitation causing explosive results. Also it's great to see you back making videos, and I'd like to compliment you on your engineering and fabrication on those supplies, they are magnificent examples of engineering.
Look for the 'High Energy can crush' video. He uses massive amps (his thunderbox) and uses a sausage to imitate a human finger to show what would happen if you touched it. It just exploded :D
Darren Boss I remember that one! It was great :) But it would be cool to see him demolish a big slab of meat. Who knows, maybe he finds a new way to prepare it :P
11:50 That was probably a standard output of a * insert example here *. But we don't do * insert example here * on this channel, do we? Love you Photon!
It's common in the electrical distribution industry to refer to 2kv as medium voltage. 110+ is generally "low voltage", 500v+ "medium" voltage, 5kv+ "high voltage". Everything is relative, when you deal daily with voltages up to 500kv the relatively low voltage of your home electricity supply or the boosted voltage of Andy's supplies as medium or high voltage. In consumer terms anything over 48v is "high voltage" as average joe isn't trained in the handling and safety of higher voltages. Now all of this applies to AC, DC is another monster entirely.
Its always relative. In power transmission up to 30kV is considered medium voltage, and from 110 to about 500kV is high voltage. After that, there is ultra high voltage.
Dunno, but you can sort of figure some of what he watches, because he occasionally mentions Ashens and he'll often comment on the EEVblog, Julian Ilett and I think mikeselectricstuff.
I relate to your excitement in your videos. Enjoying the smell of certain burning components and stuff like that. And appreciating the immense power behind something. The dangers of your interests dwarf mine id say lol i like engines. Anything with a spark plug. You ever mess around with anything like that? Thanks for all the entertainment over the years. This has been one of my favorite channels ever since i was a kid.
Frankenstein video, I was expecting that gel to come to life.
I have heard how people literally explode or melt in electrical accidents, now I fully understand.
You do all the demonstrations I would love to do for my physics students but that my college would never allow. Thank you!
This man is absolutely fearless. Or extremely competent.
actually, he's both
I think both is the right answer in this case
Or both
or both
or Both
Humming transformers always scares me.
natural to be afraid of the unknown, it keeps us alive. do stupid things we don't understand and we end up not so alive. I tend to stay away from high voltage myself.
The silent ones are more dangerous.
Not that the "low voltage" humming one wouldn't kill you.
is it only me, who likes humming transformers?
Yes, because high quality transformers are quiet, and old or bad ones are humming.
VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa not nececeraly, the ammount of hum we hear, is directly proportionate to the operating frequency: this is why even the highest grade mains transformer still hums a lot under full load, and even the best grade flyback transformer (q-r mode) makes a really high pitched whistle (NTSC 15KHz)
Good to see you back, Mr. Induction.
You and your calm voice and this setup seriously belong in a movie torture-scene:
"Let's try 1000 volts shall we..."
"Bit of a spark there..."
"Oh that smells bad..."
"Now enough of this ballistics gel, let's try it all over again, on your arm..."

he's the town's known problem solver.. and explains to the problem exactly how he will solve it.
This man definitely has some movie appeal of sorts ^^ He's 100% like Dale from the king of the hill-cartoon ^^
GOD I MISS THIS CHANNEL
What do you mean? It's still here.
MISSED*
but now ? are u still missed ? )
I think he went blind looking at this high voltage stuff
magadon ruferto what happened to him ?
How's the TV and radio reception in the neighborhood when you're playing about?
I've got a Blitzortung.org lightning detector in my loft as part of my weather station.
The thing would go mental trying to decode that next door.
Awesome job Andy, welcome back.
I don't want to imagine the smell of ozone and burned animal bits..
Regards to ManLab7.
Cheers :)
I do hope you use some sort of exhaust system, just in case...some fumes are pretty hazardous.
fuck no
Photon's exhaust system is farting after a good curry, better safe than sorry
+llary that is not an exhaust system it is a hydrogen generator whatch the origanal big boy supply an you will know

"We don't do _____ on this channel, do we boys?" laugh everytime XD
Ghost Prospecte what? i didn't get it. what does he say?
We love you photon we do!! We love you photon we do!!!!
Bless :)
Andy, Andy, Andy!!!
I opened up my sub box this lonely night and thought "ugh there won't be anything here". And my heart lifts to the heavens. A new photon video??? AAALRIGHT!
right I said basicly the same! I freaking love these videos!
I like my subox mini, nice little boxmod for beginners.
Good to see you back, I did see the upload before this but didn't have time to comment on it. With that gel often being used as an analog of human skin (albeit for completely different tests), I can't help but picture skin melting in a similar manner when you start probing that stuff.
PHOTON PLEASE DON'T EVER LEAVE US AGAIN
NEVER!
+Photonicinduction I hope you don't
Missed you man! always good watching with a beer!
What happened to you before? For a while there you scared me and made me think you did something that made you need to use the hyper-mobility scooter.
Great to see you back. One of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
This has made my day.. Missed your vids so much.
How nice to see you back again. I love these sparks you make.
Thank God your not only back, but that your alive and well. Was a bit worried for a while there.
So glad to have you back! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the future.
when 2000 volts is medium voltage. Hahaha
julien foss low voltage its aournd less than 1k volt, medium voltage its between 1 and 35k volt, High voltage its 35 and 135k volt.
u should study a bit.
@@blackmajor93 3 year's later and "Ur" still a dick lmao
@@N54.S6 thanks for reminding me, I’ve now became a priest tho. May god be with u
@@blackmajor93 electrixal engineering, did it interest u?
I'm only subscribed to 1 channel, and it is this one. Glad you are back. I missed these HV antics of yours.
That camera was VERY unhappy with the high voltage experiments. Hope you didn't ruin it as I LOVE your videos. This was definitely a fun experiment to watch, looking forward to any additional.
This brings back good times, one of my most favorite channels! Glad to see you back :D
Must have been some rough times for ya. You don't sound or look as upbeat and cheery as you used too. I hope things get better.
they dont sadly
Nah bro its just alcohol withdrawal
@@josphe9011 they are now
They did!
14:27 cracked me up man, you're channel is great fun and you learn a lot about the equipment, good work photonic
Andy, you need a camera with a CCD sensor, CMOS sensors are crap for this kind of thing due to their rolling shutter.
Gordon Freeman increasing the shutter speed would work as well with CMOS type cameras.
@EsotericN Mundane true. Idk why I said faster shutter speed.
Great comeback! Really missed this channel for a while.
god i hope you are as safe as you can with this because this is some seriously dangerous stuff but my god is it fun to watch
I love how calm he sounds with his little British accent that can’t sound like it could ever be unhappy
You should do a collab with _the slo-mo guys_ to properly show all that electricity at the end!
I'd love to see his experiments with a proper setup. It seems the electricity is messing with his camera's footage somehow.
YES, YES, YES. Best video you have done in years. Welcome back.
Incredible.....absolutely astounding. Love it!
Cheers !
never watched mythbusters. It used to shoot bullets into hence the name ballistics gel.
+Photonicinduction you should get a tower fan or a regular floor fan and overload the motor on that while the motor is still pushing fan blades and while your at it, see if it will have enough lift to lift off the ground.
It imitates human flesh, allowing researchers to test weapons safely.
Glad to have you back! Missed your awesome and entertaining videos!
FUCK YEAH PHOTONICINDUCTION IS BACK AT IT!!!! my life is worth living again!!! ^_^
Seriously, Thanks Photon, we missed you bro!!!
You are all very welcome, I don't have much spare time but its yours if I do :)
So glad to see you back! Love watching these crazy videos at work
I'm really glad today cuz two of my favorite TH-cam channel came back again :)
whos the other?
+Kyler St.Clair Haggard Garage
+Kyler St.Clair Btw do you know Chinese?
Chinese isn't a language...if that's what you're getting at.
+Daniel “G” W Okay nvm
Great to have you back Andy, Sir you have been greatly missed!
you should totally get a slow motion camera
SlowMo guys!
infrared would be cool too
+Darren Boss they would run away from that crazy Photon... i don't think anyone wants to make collab with him...
collin fuze.. (or how is that guy colled)
holy shit that would be awesome...
Does Colin live in the UK? If so, I really want to see a collab. It'd be absolutely mad. Nuts. Colin has everything engineering and photon has everything electrical.

Love your work Mr Induction.
Great to see you back at it.
Luke, come to the Dark side.
Never!
*Force lightning*
13:30
I'm an electrician in texas. I have so many questions. I just discovered your channel. I love it, very exciting.
2:29 Love how the lights flickered when he changed the input.
Great demo of effect of electricity on flesh. Gives me some deeper respect for what comes down the mains. Damn! Highly entertaining Andy! Good one.
Mr Burns power-plant must be so happy for all the juice you consume...
Welcome back! So good to see you having more fun with the big boy toys!
I LOVE YOU PHOTONICINDUCTION!!!! I MISSED YOU!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You should license these for distribution as safety training videos.
Episode 1: Why 100kv will turn you into a melted pile of glowing goop
Awesome video, welcome back!
Maybe next time compare with gel made using distilled water?
what would the difference be?
It's the impurities in water that make it conductive. Pure distilled water is a much better insulator.
I'm picking it wouldn't make much difference though as the substances in the gel are probably conductive anyway.
Salt water would be more accurate
What about deionized water ???
This guy should be a presenter, he is experienced and well informed! Good job
I love how at 100KV, the camera can't even show the spark because of how bright it is.
It's more likely due to how fast the spark is and the relatively slow frame rate of the camera he is using.
OMG you're back! you can't believe how happy i was to see a "1" next to your channel. please never leave again :)
This guy is freaking insane.... I LOVE IT!
Yes, the king of HV is back! Can't wait for more fantastic videos!
fucking shat myself at 2:03
I'm not even there yet but I'll like your comment anyway
I fucking jumped out of my chair Lolz
Fuck, I know. I was holding a bowl of cereal at the time.
Rip-o-ronny yo cereal
I jumped too lmao
good to see you back on the tube. thanks again for the video.
This guy would make a great Bond Villain.
Good to see you're back. Thanks for this
Andy what the hell is that bloody great thing in the background that looks like a rocket?
A non Nuclear reactor
G'day,
Well said, mate !
My thunkin's, prezactly...
;-p
Ciao !
+Photonicinduction Andy Put 730 volts AC to the gel and it will go kaboooom
Realy cool video. Have seen some channels use Ballistic gel to test fire arms like guns and slingshots, but never seen electricity pass through it. You man just got a new SUB :D
"hasn't changed!" Um yeahh.... Was is that rocket looking thing behind you? lol
So happy you're back mate!
whats the big thing behind you at 11:07
Ventilation system
decommissioned nuke of course
For when he REALLY wants to blow stuff up!
+Hot Dogs lol😂
+Hot Dogs lol😂
Fascinating stuff Andy, that ballistic gel. Great video and awesome commentary mate. Great you are back into making new video' again.
should I be worried about these high voltage videos destroying my computer? I hear they are quite sensitive.
If any problems occur, put your laptop in the microwave for exactly 1 minute and 9 seconds on medium.
Interesting, I shall try. If you don't hear back from me assume the worst.
desertrcaz Rip
Glad to see you back mate. Hope all is well and thanks for another entertaining video :)
Why does the camera capture it in such a weird way?
Marco Polo because the camera cant capture the frequency of the voltage, you cannot reach a high voltage like that without increasing the frequency, thus it being very high.
rolling shutter the sparks are over before the shutter rolls over it
TooPlepsy emf discharge and you can get high voltage at a low frequency look up van de graff generators
HOLY SHIT photonicinduction is BACK! Amazing. Glad to see you back here.
Does anyone else besides me think of Mythbusters when Ballistic Gel is mentioned?
Excellent to see you back Photon! :)
10:24 - "lets discharge ..." - BANG!!! - "WTF!!!!????" :))
i missed the videos, great to got you back, greetings from vienna !
Good to see some electrically induced carnage once again, but you need a better camera to show us the true effects of that 100kV!
Lol, I know, I'm surprised it recorded anything at all.
Regardless of camera quality, I realy enjoy the stills of the glowing gel, though. Looks radioactive!
+Photonicinduction what is happening to the camera?
+Peter Caron never mind, someone already asked
electrical interference on the camera was great.
Interesting results, I was surprised to see a lack of cavitation leading to explosive failure under the HV testing. It seems the material resists the sublimation enough to prevent the sudden build up of pressure. It's hardly an analogue for flesh electrically at those ridiculous voltages and currents as the water in flesh does not resist the sublimation and resultant cavitation causing explosive results.
Also it's great to see you back making videos, and I'd like to compliment you on your engineering and fabrication on those supplies, they are magnificent examples of engineering.
Great demonstration how you can get seriously fucked up if you aren't careful! Would be interesting to see this with an actual piece of meat.
Look for the 'High Energy can crush' video. He uses massive amps (his thunderbox) and uses a sausage to imitate a human finger to show what would happen if you touched it. It just exploded :D
Darren Boss I remember that one! It was great :) But it would be cool to see him demolish a big slab of meat. Who knows, maybe he finds a new way to prepare it :P
+Mathias
Any local slaughterhouses willing to donate a carcass? Good advertising, and it's for science!
On his next video, he's going to be cooking steak with 100kV
I wish :P
Glad you're back! Hope everything is okay. I always enjoy your videos!
I wonder if you can actually EMP your camera with enough electricity.
Watching again in 2021 🤣 welcome back Andy!!! 👌👌👌
Emperor Palpatine would be proud
11:50
That was probably a standard output of a * insert example here *.
But we don't do * insert example here * on this channel, do we?
Love you Photon!
Like this style more, has some "science" in it while still being quite ridiculous ;) Might be the lack of beer in the surroundings...
Welcome back, we have all missed you!
what the fuck 2000v is medium what even
most of the time thats low for him :)
Iv come to relize.... LOL
The guy eats fucking lightning bolts from mount Olympus for breakfast.

he's back! good stuff mate, can't wait for the next one
I bet your electric bill is high lol

It's about damn time you're back making videos!
I wonder if bigclive watches you P:
Dunno, but you can sort of figure some of what he watches, because he occasionally mentions Ashens and he'll often comment on the EEVblog, Julian Ilett and I think mikeselectricstuff.
Mmm true
Big Clive does indeed frequent these parts and comment, occasionally
big clive is subscribed
He does, he commented on one of his videos
So glad you are back!
32 dislikes wtf is wrong with youtubers
National Grid employees or something?
+Knuckles the Echidna lmfao too funny
Damn good to see you back bruv!!
Glad to see you're back!
keep up the good work Andy good to see you back!
Always a pleasure to see you and your amazing destructive electricity.
Flippin 'eck Mr Duction. Nearly every one of your subs has watched your latest vid within 48 hours. You are a God!
I love how every fifth video is you apologizing for a long absence.
I feel like I will get an electric shock just watching your high voltage parts of your videos. Love them, Please continue to be careful though!
Glad to see you back!
I relate to your excitement in your videos. Enjoying the smell of certain burning components and stuff like that. And appreciating the immense power behind something. The dangers of your interests dwarf mine id say lol i like engines. Anything with a spark plug. You ever mess around with anything like that? Thanks for all the entertainment over the years. This has been one of my favorite channels ever since i was a kid.
