- In this video I show you how to control fire with my hands by charging myself to 50,000 Volts to use electric forces to control the ions in the partial plasma of fire in order to bend and manipulate the fire with only my hands!
In this video I use a specially treated super hydrophobic knife to cut water droplets in half! I see how small of a water drop I can get!

🤣
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Beat me to it
Was about to post the same thing, bruhh
Just Some Guy without a Mustache airbender
The cap would be proud of you by that reference. 😁
U are everywhere dude
Well you know, sometimes in life you've just gotta control some fire with your hands using a Wimshurst machine
How to control fire:
Just stay positive ;)
Or negative that depends.
Yeah, and that's a very good anology, cus of you are positive the fire(harm) stay away from you, and if you're negative... Well, you saw the video
@@tchgs11zdok15 I am glad that someone noticed, thank you.
Nice one 👌👌
*if 😅
Im always negative so if I’m near fire I will die and look like a burnt RAT
Electroboom wants to know your location
Hahaha! I was searching this comment.
3:25
It's interesting to see that the flame was initially attracted to the left electrode but after the breakdown due to voltage drop there was no attraction!
Next Up :- Becoming the Airbender with my 100% knowledge.
"Today I will connect myself to this device that generates 50,000 Volts which will cause fire to be attracted to my body."
And that was the last we heard from James.
5:39 🤣 “It won't burn me” (im dead)
You should try this on a large scale and see if you can walk through fire
ight imma head out
@@annag3826imma head *in*
You can run through fire
Me watching some guy trying to get his fingers close to fire: *anxiety intensifies*
Me when he was making his finger have electricity shoot through it.
Look how the fire tries to burn me when I put my finger next "ouch" to it.
Of course it's going to burn you "it's called playing with fire" hahahahaa
wow, my son is the fire bender! l never ever knew!
No one:
Literally no one:
Action lab: *OUCH*
*Instructions unclear, ended up burning my neighbor's dog*
I know thats you, Dio
Archana Motagi I mean, who didn’t
Happens to me all the time. My neighbor has to get a new dog like every month. The FBI keeps monitoring me and they put cameras and shit in the neighbor's animals and i keep disecting them and i swear i'm super close to finding one but he always comes out and he's sucha jerk about it.
Plot Twist: The fire🔥 was a paid actor.
That principle can be in great use for firefighters. For instance they can wear a small high voltage device which charges some sort of aluminized suit so it can repel fire (and heat) away.
Nothing is really better than the action lab
It’s so cool. I saw a video I believe called the fire bender to where he stepped on these charged pads and was able to split a flame with his hands. Was so cool.
A true fire bender
Let's start charging up our firefighters so they become flame repelling.
Actually, bad idea. The fire will get away to another area.
Finger: come here pls
Fire: ⁿᵒ
3:11 this is more like controlling electricity with fire
Firemen with negativly charged suits?
Please can you make a video explaining why fire is hot that would be great always have wanted to know. Keep up the good work👍🏼 love you videos.
This is one of your best videos!
“The dark side of the force leads a pathway to many abilities.Some consider to be“
*Unnatural*
Does this mean that if you cover yourself in electricity you can survive a house fire?
(Ignore the toxic gases please)
im not sure but i think if you charge yourself with that much electricity it will jump from your feet to the ground
either way if we ignore that you'll be cook for the heat of the closer fire
Youll probably melt still. If youve ever been near a big flame you know how hot they are even at a good distance
@@ZirJohn Even the hot air is repelled, not just the flame. He said so in the video
@@anshum1675 oh didnt hear that my bad
@@anshum1675 Hmm.. How about heat from radiation (not from air)? I don't know the comparison between heat from radiation and hot air though..
Can you please provide us the links of product you use in experiment
Now use the high voltage to make an electrostatic percipatator. That is a tube with a wire in the center wire and foil lined on the part of the tube. The let a smokey flame through the tube and the smoke will be attached to the foil and the flame smoke will stop polluting. I understand that power plants use this to stop polluting. I built one as a kid and it worked very well.
Cool.
Now we need to use the science of this to control wildfires.
Make them stop or even reverse direction.
Some sort of clever electrical fencing maybe.
Another really interesting video. Thank you! I wonder if the effect would still occur with a blue gas flame? I suspect the luminous, yellow portion of the candle flame contains charged soot particles and free radicals - the net positive charge is a strong clue. FWIW, this flame is not really a plasma*. Of course, the effect seen when you increased the spacing still happens with charged particles and does not require an electron-rich plasma.
*From the Royal Society of Chemistry: "In fact, some very hot flames do contain plasma - when the energy inside them is sufficient to ionize enough of the air molecules. A classic example is the flame generated by burning acetylene in oxygen, which reaches an eye-watering 3100˚C. The paltry 1500˚C flame produced by a wax candle, on the other hand, is too low to be considered a textbook plasma."
you should totally revisit this and record the flame response with both your IR camera and schlieren imaging.
The fourteenth century peoplebe like . . .
be like??
They be like: "Witchcraft! Kill him!"
couldn't this kind of tech be useful to fire fighters?
Iliya Moradi Birgani Thor would be an amazing fire fighter
if you take away the charge collecting stuff you can sense the electricity on the wheels with your finger& thumb if you put them near 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock; if you do it in a totally dark room you can see sparks coming off the wheels onto your finger & thumb. Simplifies the setup to the point where it becomes really mysterious and magical. Also incidentally much safer.
Fire bending in real life
I still have a Wimshurst machine I bought back in the 70's, from a company called Edmund Scientific. I need a new leyden jar, and some work on the collectors. The device could generate 75,000 volts. There are so many experiments that can be done. Once, I even tried to attach a motor drive so I could have both hands free. Not enough torque, though. I may revisit that attempt one day.
That's a pretty cool effect.
Amazing use for a wedding ring!
*Finally found a way to burn firecrackers safely*
Btw nice video 👍
That’s why it’s good to always stay positive
“Ouch” I felt that
How far can we go with the voltage?
Controlling fire from 1 meter?
@Iliya Moradi Birgani ok then I am gonna try that later!
@Iliya Moradi Birgani yes not from Iran tho, btw thanks for your answer to my question...
@Iliya Moradi Birgani bale
@Iliya Moradi Birgani hahaha ni ma irani nestam
Would it be possible to do this with Schlieren Photography? I think seeing the gasses and vapors coming off the flame could be informative...and awesome!
Thank you Mrs Action Lab for offering such a nice Xmas gift to your husband but you're early it's not Xmas yet 💟
You are amazing bro love from India🇮🇳
Will the plasma move away if its in a vacuum.
I'm curious as to what would happen if you held a pin in your hand an performed the same experiment. Also, would love to see this filmed with a thermal camera.
what a *bright* video
“this shouldn’t really hurt me”
*gets vaporized*
Mom: "Ok, Dad, are you ready to celebrate our daughter's 14th birthday?"
Dad: "Uh, can we pretend it's her 3rd birthday?"
To control fire, first you have to *crank that*
Soulja boy: i felt that

Isn't this pretty random?
If you use a digital thermometer towards and away, with precise measurement of distance, try to map temperatures. Put a motor on the electrostatic generator so you know the speed, and can begin to estimate the currents, you can begin to calculate exactly what will happen. Consider an electronic control of positions of a series of electrodes with specific shapes and distances (the curvature of the tip of the electrode changes the field strength.) Document that, find equations and similar things on the web.
Can you extract energy from the flame? The electrons have momentum, and they draw some of that from the flame. You cannot put a flame in a box that easily, but the field does not burn and can apply force to the flame.
Build a very steady 40,000 volt power supply. You can modify a cheap Tesla coil. That allows control of the voltage and current, after a bit of learning and care. Several such generators are getting small enough to control voltages independently. You can check the radio noise from the power supply with a RTL_SDR software defined radio that can listen to all the frequencies down to 0 Hertz. You will see a broad spike at about 35 kHz. You can use frequency control to also control the voltage since the output voltage is frequency of the input power supply dependent.
If you modulate the Tesla coil at audio frequencies, you can look for the flame to move. That is an electrostatic flame speaker, but it can be used to shape and control the flame. You can use an alcohol flame and add different ions. Ions have different ionization energies so you can control the number of electrons and ions by adding low ionization chemicals. Check the electrochemical series for the values. The CRC handbook of Chemistry has most of the ionization energies. The flame can act as an ionization source to enhance a microwave plasma. You can add radioactive electrons and ions to start the cascade called a breakdown. Townsend breakdown will get you some good information.
You can start a global community all with a common interest in controling plasmas with fields. But don't blab and chat, try to find specific and testable equations and instrument and equipment that works.Then continual refine and improve. Track what everyone contributes, then it is easy to ask for sponsors and funding. Most every person on earth has some interest in fields. But now we have the technology for everyone on earth to combine and share their experiences. And measurement and recordings of observations and methods is critical. Share real experiences as you have done here, and then begin to quantify them. It will become a science, and not an eternal parlor trick.
Check and visit all the school websites in the world, starting with
google:
"flame" "electostatic" with 3.84 millon entry points
"flame" "plasma" "control" with 10.7 million entry points
"shape" "electrostatic" "equation" with 8.92 million entry points
Think of the massive duplication of basic study of this phenomena and ask yourself how to make it into an engineering science where it can be used and understook and applied.

Did somebody say "youtube scientist of da year?"
Edit: just realised its almost new year so this would be a perfect idea for Y.T to do some kind of channel of the year award for each passing year
Soon you will become the avatar
So does this mean that Magneto is a lie??? Or haven't yet explored his true potential*wink * wink
Perfect firefighters needs this.
3:20 Since redstone is just electricity in Minecraft, fire is just a redstone repeater for electric sparks.
It’s called corona discharge or electric wind. It happens because of the discharging action of the charged point. The air molecules near the electrode get an opposite charge due to induction and are attracted, upon closer approach they share charge with the electrode and acquire the same charge and get pushed away in considerable speed, giving it an appearance of ‘wind’ coming out of electrode.
During the Iraq war, Sadam set the Kuwait oil fields on fire. They ended up using explosives to put them out but I wonder if they could have used this technology? It was hard to even get close enough to set the explosives. You could easily push electrodes in to push the flame with needing to get too close. I wonder if you could pulse the voltage maybe using as AC waveform to disrupt the flame? Could be helpful in future for many applications.
Do an experiment with the works and aluminum and explain it please.
You should hold something metallic like a fork or something and poke the other end into the flame so it doesn't burn you
2:45 Fire is Plasma
6:08 Negative Electrode
7:28 you manipulate fire by charging yourself with really high voltages
Were you grounded during this? You may want to be on a stool so you don't lose charge. You get a more dramatic effect unless you have a faster charging source or higher potential.
Next on the menu is cooked hand
I wonder if you could use this to make fire Line fences to combat forest fires.
*So this explain why in avatar the last Airbender fire benders can preduce and control lightning*
no
then they are not fire but electricity benders
😂
I was joking 😜
@@adamdozsa3028 + they have shown abilities of lightning( electricity) manipulation
Block a flame from a flamethrower.
Also, is it possible to control fire with sound???
That pointing towards left and right can happen due to the the wind generated by that rotating steel circle
If I'm wrong plz comment and mention the reason
If I could wish for super powers I’d wish for the powers of Q from Star Trek. It’s the ultimate super power.
Hell Yeah! .. That's my reply when anyone asks me what super-power I would have. They usually expect DC or Marvel based super-powers not a Trekkie one, lol!
Ever look into string theory? Things once deemed "myth" due to them being deemed impossible and against the rules of the universe might actually be in truth part of its fundimentals after all. Really wild and epic stuff!
Skoon, Thatraccoonskunkguy
Be careful. I have actually looked a lot into string theory and other quantum physics theories, and there’s a LOT of bad explanations and people trying to make things seem more mystical.
like saying that you looking at something with your eyes changes the outcome of an experiment rather than the real explanation that the impact of however you measure the result is what’s impacting it. Not just the fact that you know something exists or not.
@@radicalxedward8047 very true, especially when it comes to photons, seems many don't get that in ordsr to "observe" a photon you MUST interact with it in some way as it is that which triggers the mesurment.
Skoon, Thatraccoonskunkguy
Exactly! So many people think it’s some psychic phenomenon or something like that. I remember watching a really great old black and white lecture on TH-cam about the double slit experiment talking about HOW you observe which path the photon/electron took and how that effects the outcome.
This would make an awesome movie
James: The Last Firebender,
Fire suites reinvented with positive ions? Maybe a good idea.
Firefist has been reborn
And this ladies and gentlemen is why fire benders can lighting bend
maybe fireman could be protected by wearing some special charge up suit.
Build one!
I have some questios. Why it doesn't spark when you firstly put the candle between spheres. Was it conducting electric charge so slow and continuously and we were not seeing a spark? Or you just didn't turn the disks enough to create a spark load?
I envision positivity charged suits for firefighters that push the flames away.
Parents-don’t play with fire.
*le kids-4:49
What if you connect your one hand with the negative and one with the positive part? Could you create the sparks between your fingers?? Or would that kill you?
Wait, what if we had suits for fire fighters that were constantly being positively charged. Would that repel is he flames to keep them safe
Flame is plasma, it has lots of free electrons to conduct electricity.
I've been experimenting with high voltage a lot, try using a HDPE plastic bottle cap, and make the arc go around it, soon the arc will go through the bottle cap instead of bending around it as the cap catches flame and turns into plasma
So it’s actually pulling the heat from the flame towards your finger also. So the opposite charge pushes Wow 😳
I thought what a smart man and then you changed electrodes LOL but at least you knew it was going to hurt so I guess you're still kind of smart hahaha
So, can we charge the fireman clothing with positives electron's?
Filming it with a schlieren camera setup would make it more interesting.
It’s strange that your videos aren’t getting as many views as previous
What if you but a heliumpall in a Wakumecleaner??? I wold like to know.
Could this work on a large scale and not be super expensive to control fires?
Would it be possible to make a negatively charged suit for firemen to repel fire?
So he charged his own body to 50,000 Volts in order to attract flames.
Sounds like the next Darwin Award.
Don't be bad! It was just an experiment. 😁😂
So one could in theory walk through fire and not get burned if they had a very positively charged suit. Interesting!
So theoretically, if you manage to somehow make a machine that can accurately create very fast pulses of electricity, you can make a very detailed fire pp
I already have a detailed pp
@@Mrtheunnameable why not have another one but very much *hotter*
I love your channel. Ouch ... ouch ... ouch!
2:27 “In fact if I go the opposite way, if I start , I can make this one the negative electrode now” 3:14 , burns down house
