Depending on what part of the sun you are talking about, 500 times hotter can be anywhere from quickly dead to instantly dead. That resistor might have been as hot as the sun's surface, but not hot enough to give off so much light that your skin cooks on top of your eyes.
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIASYeah, you're right. Overexposure might be why I might've guessed it was as hot as the surface of the sun. It still might be hotter than the surfaces of cool red stars though.
Just studied diodes and rectifiers yesterday in class. Every time the professor said the words 'Bridge Rectifier' I would smile like an idiot remembering this video XD.
I believed he explained that the palm of his hand is more sensitive than his finger, and he also touched the output with his finger on purpose while with his hand was accidental.
capacitors gave him a short pulse of DC. the capacitance of your skin is what makes AC able to flow through it. DC cant flow through but put a short pulse of DC thru a capacitor and it'll go through.
+Captain Capellini He helped me understand what a full bridge rectifier is, but more importantly, I've learned that he just LOVES full bridge rectifiers! XD
1:33 That spark is caused by a inrush current of capacitors. Please remember: Capacitors can't change voltage instantly! To limit sparks, you need a NTC thermistor.
@@wuukaa9079 that way, once you start the circuit it's cold and limits current and holds the inrush current, but as the circuit runs the resistance drops to allow the circuit to run more efficiently now that the capacitors are already charged, this setup is common on Desktop PC power supplies
@@aurunemaru alright! It's a way to reduce sudden drop of voltage on the mains, avoids sparks when you plug and smooths up the start up charge for the circuit if I got it well! Thank you, I always saw those NTC resistors in many switching power supply and such.. thank you :)
Actually he doesnt fake most of the incidents, they are scripted of course but not faked. He surely wouldnt put himself in extreme danger on purpose but the things that happen arent exaggerated and could happen exactly like this. Im quite sure everyone has been zapped by a high voltage capacitor before, whether being in a camera or a bug zapper or any powerful power supply and although it sounds funny, it indeed is dangerous and you should always discharge them.
A full bridge rectifier converts AC to DC, and an inverter converts DC to AC. I would absolutely love to see just a chain of rectifiers and inverters for the fun of it.
I'm drawing a schematic for a circuit I call a CATR (Current Amplifying Transistor Rectifier) right now. This is similar to a full bridge rectifier but it uses transistors instead of diodes. This keeps the DC voltage output the same as the AC input voltage, but the DC output will have a larger current, which is determined by the beta value of the transistors. Low-power applications would use signal transistors, but high-power applications would use power transistors.
@@coastersaga Unless I've misunderstood you, what you're describing is actually impossible. If the output voltage is the same, but the current is higher, then your circuit would be _producing more power than it's consuming,_ which would violate the laws of physics. The only way you can produce more current is by reducing the voltage, or vice-versa.
Most people don't bother teaching themselves this stuff, you're probably way behind in different areas of knowledge. Don't act like you're smart because you read the wikipedia page on diodes and this guy didn't.

Been watching Electroboom for years and am finally getting into FBR in my semiconductors class in Computer Engineering. Super cool to come back to some of these older videos for some fun learning!
I was disassembling a cordless drill battery charger for parts and got excited when I desoldered the full bridge and realized what it was.... because of this electro boom and his enthusiasm about them. Keep going boom and I’ll keep watching
I clicked this video for educational purposes only, but seems like i was wrong there was a bonus tip keeping the viewer entertained while learning.Really enjoyable keep up the good work.
good video. A story of my own fuckup: I was doing work on a small electric car which is a two car-battery 48v system, and I was trying to rig up a shunt resistor on the positive rail and probe the output to see the current. The car is isolated from ground because it's running on batteries and is up off the floor on rubber tires, so not a problem to attach the ground of the probe to a point which is right on the positive rail. I'm sitting in the seat of the car with about 4 alligator clip leads draped across my lap and doing some tests while looking at the scope on the bench. As I'm free-running the motor without a chain the vibration makes the car roll back just slightly and the metal frame touched the apparently grounded metal wall behind me. The wires in my lap light up and some stuff caught on fire with a bang.
Just restocked the refrigerator. Does that make me a 'Full Fridge Rectifier'? On a slightly more serious note this video made my day. Keep up the good work.

Some nights, I've got to visit here, just because I've not seen you, Mr. Boom, jump from a shock, and need a cathartic release. Thank you very much for this. Best "full bridge rectifier" video I've seen.
I think the best "rectifier" I made was... I used a center tapped transformer, with 4 capacitors and 4 diodes, to make a dual rail voltage doubling rectifier... though it was probably only half wave, it did what I needed it to do.
Dude, your videos are great, you are hilarious and you explain things in a way I can understand, could you make an induction heater and explain it's components and how it works ?
Hi Mehdi, could you explain why you get 170VDC over the cap even tough the max amplitude of the FULLBRIDGERECTIFIER is 120VDC at 1:00? Thanks, really love your videos!
Years ago during lockdown, 8th grade me used to watch this channel for the funny funny, but now in 12th, the same me is going to build a full bridge rectifier for school physics project. well, me and my team are gonna try to... thank you Mehdi Sir, for being such an important part of my upbringing.

Convo between my co-host and I while filming an episode about AC last night: Me: Let's hook it up to more power Him: Should we shock ourselves? Me: Like Mehdi? Him: Yup! Me: K
I love that after some time I'm beginning to understand what you're talking about with the diagrams and I'm surprised, good with the teaching and with the jokes, much respect to you
anything? why not? Don't do the things he is showing you it is wrong with a visual example then an explanation. A full bridge rectifier is fine to make, but take the proper precautions, do it the right way, and learn from his staged mistakes so you don't burn down your house. That is the whole point of the sparks and shocks in his videos. I don't know how to attemp anything; but I will surely attempt whatever I wish. How about you fix that stuck caps lock key first before you give anyone advice; and cut back about 90% of your stupid doge icon's diet. That is one fatass dog ... and if you can't feed a dog properly, which is pretty damn easy, won't take your advice on anything more complicated. so you probably shouldn't try anything, maybe not even getting out of bed, you might get hurt; though you can get hurt staying in bed too ... just check yourself into an institution where they will provide safety for you and freedom from having to think and problem solve, listen and use common sense, you won't have to bother with those skills. You definitely don't have them if this was your conclusion after watching your first ElectroBoom! video. I hope you get help, so next time you watch something like this, you can understand it and not be so scared! Poor thing. Life is full of dangers and you probably think the warning signs are examples and yell at people not to throw themselves in trash compactors because the picture shows someone doing it and getting hurt and the latter part goes over your head that the it is instructing you on what not to do. Good luck in life, you'll need it with that attitude and lack of comprehension skills.
He is Persian.. 2000 Years ago, when they were ruling the world, they wouldn't like savage westerns either.. That'S just the matter of time and who knows what will happen in 2000 years from now!
I did not calculate anything, I just read the history. Persian empire at the time was way more dominant than the Romans and the direct battles between them prove my point.
414aliha Persia barely held any important regions, while The Roman Empire held most of Europe for a long time. What the Persian Empire had was a large amount of Soldiers, but that didn't help them, because they did not step a foot inside Europe.
Love your videos, Sir. You are an excellent teacher, very good at captivating your students! Who else can make you laugh AND take something seriously at the same time??
+ElectroBOOM Firstly, i love your vids! Why did the capacitors on the rectifier only shock you when it was disconnected from the mains? You were able to touch the 166V DC output earlier but towards the end got a nasty shock doing the same. The only difference i can see is that in the latter it was disconnected from the mains. Am i missing something? Thanks
***** Ahhh, ok, so if you had touched the output with your palm when also connected to mains, you would have received the same shock? Thanks dude! Please keep making your awesome vids! They're hilarious and very educational (at least for me :P).
+ElectroBOOM Do you ever get used to receiving electric shocks? I have been shocked once in my life and I can't describe any feeling like it, it's terrifying!
if you don't mirror your AC and apply a condensator, it doesn't make a straight line like that, it lowers slightly. you can never get rid of the ripple completely
Ohthatsnotme +/- 10mV can surely kill sensitive hardware, but for most applications a small ripply is fine. And if your oscilloscope has high resolution you can almost see anything ;)

So 170V DV doesn't hurt... Until you unplug the damn thing and touch the capacitor which have only some of the 170 V DC.

My guess is that the current spike of rapid discharge of the capacitor behaves similarly to AC which passes through humans more easily.

Well, I wouldn't say that
ELECTORBOOM:FULL BRIDGE RECTIFYAAAAA!!!
Convo between my co-host and I while filming an episode about AC last night:
Me: Let's hook it up to more power
Him: Should we shock ourselves?
Me: Like Mehdi?
Him: Yup!
Me: K
Technically Fun I call bullshit on this story cuz white people can't pronounce Mehdi
I love that after some time I'm beginning to understand what you're talking about with the diagrams and I'm surprised, good with the teaching and with the jokes, much respect to you
DO NOT ATTEMP ANYTHING HE HAS DONE IN THIS VIDEO
Oh you bet I'm going to attempt it. But I'm a third year electrical engineering student so I think I'll be ok.
Teach me for skins
Okay, I won't blow a fuse
anything? why not? Don't do the things he is showing you it is wrong with a visual example then an explanation.
A full bridge rectifier is fine to make, but take the proper precautions, do it the right way, and learn from his staged mistakes so you don't burn down your house. That is the whole point of the sparks and shocks in his videos.
I don't know how to attemp anything; but I will surely attempt whatever I wish.
How about you fix that stuck caps lock key first before you give anyone advice; and cut back about 90% of your stupid doge icon's diet. That is one fatass dog ... and if you can't feed a dog properly, which is pretty damn easy, won't take your advice on anything more complicated.
so you probably shouldn't try anything, maybe not even getting out of bed, you might get hurt; though you can get hurt staying in bed too ... just check yourself into an institution where they will provide safety for you and freedom from having to think and problem solve, listen and use common sense, you won't have to bother with those skills. You definitely don't have them if this was your conclusion after watching your first ElectroBoom! video. I hope you get help, so next time you watch something like this, you can understand it and not be so scared! Poor thing. Life is full of dangers and you probably think the warning signs are examples and yell at people not to throw themselves in trash compactors because the picture shows someone doing it and getting hurt and the latter part goes over your head that the it is instructing you on what not to do.
Good luck in life, you'll need it with that attitude and lack of comprehension skills.
Oh dam I found your coment too late.
I forgot this channel name.... So i just searched "full bridge rectifier" and voila! I found it.
Can you believe there are people who don't like this guy just because of his background?
People are racist and stupid?
What's new?
He is Persian.. 2000 Years ago, when they were ruling the world, they wouldn't like savage westerns either.. That'S just the matter of time and who knows what will happen in 2000 years from now!
2000 Years ago, The roman empire was ruling the world.
Calculate again.
I did not calculate anything, I just read the history. Persian empire at the time was way more dominant than the Romans and the direct battles between them prove my point.
414aliha Persia barely held any important regions, while The Roman Empire held most of Europe for a long time.
What the Persian Empire had was a large amount of Soldiers, but that didn't help them, because they did not step a foot inside Europe.
"And now I will turn my power bar on",
It was at this moment he realized, he'd fked up
"S**t F**k, MY FUSE JUST BLEW".
I almost cried in laughter
I died when you forget about that burning hot resistance
Thx man told the school teacher if we could wacth you and we wacthed entire class time
I've missed you
You've come a long way. What a throw back.
It's FOO BRIDGE REKTIFIA!
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER
Hey nitro
this was so funny, like safety level -100%
Love your videos, Sir. You are an excellent teacher, very good at captivating your students! Who else can make you laugh AND take something seriously at the same time??
Is this zeuses channel?
Cuz he takes electricity like a champ
+ElectroBOOM Firstly, i love your vids!
Why did the capacitors on the rectifier only shock you when it was disconnected from the mains? You were able to touch the 166V DC output earlier but towards the end got a nasty shock doing the same. The only difference i can see is that in the latter it was disconnected from the mains. Am i missing something?
Thanks
+DrR1pper It's thee same DC, just that different spots on body have different feeling. The palm of the hand shocks a bit harder.
***** Ahhh, ok, so if you had touched the output with your palm when also connected to mains, you would have received the same shock? Thanks dude! Please keep making your awesome vids! They're hilarious and very educational (at least for me :P).
DrR1pper
Yes, but would be much worse if you were also touching earth somewhere else on your body
***** Thanks Mehdi! You're Ace! :D
+ElectroBOOM Do you ever get used to receiving electric shocks? I have been shocked once in my life and I can't describe any feeling like it, it's terrifying!
if you don't mirror your AC and apply a condensator, it doesn't make a straight line like that, it lowers slightly. you can never get rid of the ripple completely
I think it's too small for human eye to see it but i get what you mean
Ohthatsnotme You can see it if you put 1 square = 5V.
the reason why you only measure 166v instead of 170v is because of the ripple effect, it really isn't that hard to see
Ohthatsnotme +/- 10mV can surely kill sensitive hardware, but for most applications a small ripply is fine. And if your oscilloscope has high resolution you can almost see anything ;)
Rivalo
indeed, even the touch of a finger can kill a motherboard for example
I feel like I know i'm learning from these videos when he's about to do something and I realize beforehand that it's going to explode. Awesome videos man thank you :)
