Can we take a moment and appreciate the fact that Photonic could have asked his subscriber base for financial help... instead he went silent and worked his rear off for years to get the money he needed. What an absolute MAN. 👏 So proud of my boy for working hard for what he wanted Vs taking the easy way out.

Its not hard to do a proper job, its just that most people don't bother because, in engineering anyways, apparently taking pride in your work is a thing of days gone by. The amount of absolute cowboys has begun to outweigh the real craftsmen in the engineering world, its sad really.
As an electronics engineer / electrician myself, I doff my cap in your general direction Mr Photonicinduction for workmanship that, IMHO, is straight out of the top drawer. That wiring is beautifully done and a credit to your skills and the profession of electrical engineering. You should make a second channel teaching your art to the world.
"It's not perfect but it's functional and safe." This is exactly why I applaud your videos. Your attention to safety is very important for those who wish to learn more about the craft.
@@Photonicinduction “Just threw it together” I think that speaks volumes for your intelligence and electronic intuition. You take pride in your work, which isn’t common these days. Looking forward for what you have next !

Tip for those that don't know: Wind up extension cords like that have a power rating based on how unwound they are. Usually they're good for 750w fully wound and 3000w fully unwound. Be careful when drawing too much power through one that is fully wound as they can get hot real quick.
I've heard that, but I've never seen it be an accrual practical/physical problem. Between all my crews, all my trailers, and all my job sites, I've got well over 100 extension cords. I've used thousands of extension cords and I've never picked up a coil of cord and felt it be even noticeably warm. Maybe if you've got a really long cord, and it's in a job box, where there is zero air movement, and you're pulling a 1500W sustained load, it might be a problem. Other than that, I've never seen any issue or heard of it happening on the hundreds and hundreds of jobs I've been on, with hundreds of subs, and thousands of workers.
As an old aircraft electrician, my heart jumped when I saw you touch a terminal with your bare finger. Even if I know the buss is dead, I strongly reserve touching them anytime unless absolutely necessary. Even the, I give it a very quick bouncing finger slap. I highly respect electrical power. That’s why I enjoy your channel. Thanks
You know what amazes me the most? The fact that you bring in all this industrial and commercial electrical equipment onto your carpet, and it still looks cleaner than the one my wife vacuums everyday.
People usually get hyped up and more animated when they talk about something they're really interested in. You, on the other hand, become a bit more relaxed when you're talking about all things electrical. You can even tell it in your voice! It's a bit slower and more relaxed. Like it's your comfort zone! Very interesting, indeed! Glad you're back! And most importantly, BE SAFE! Cheers!
WOW, that wiring is UNREAL. I've only been in the trade for 4 years but that is some of the neatest I've seen for such a chippy project. Even someone not in the trade can appreciate how nicely done that is. Props mate 👍🏼
I didn’t come across your stuff until you came back, but I just finished watching your backlog. As a 17 year old starting to learn and have fun with electricity your videos have been such a fun reminder of what makes electricity fun and badass. Thank you for everything and I wish you the best of luck on everything going forward
You will probably never see this comment, but I appreciate every video you make. I've learned a ton from watching your videos and decided to take the next step in my own career by joining a company that is going to train me for electrical maintenance to enhance my mechanical maintenance skills. Cheers from me to you!!!
Proper workspace you had going while building it! Absolute mess, all over the floor, with an absolutely beautiful creation coming together in the center of it all.
So glad your back. I am not an electrician, neither are my work colleagues. However, before you took time out, we all watched your videos with great enjoyment. We loved watching you blow things up etc. We wish you all the very best mate. YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED
Would like to see you have a go at some cable jointing 11kv lovink joint or a lv pilc or consac joint, or maybe do a video explaining some old style cables that are used on the electricity network
That cable management is top notch, Dave (eevblog) needs to hire you to fix his damn house panel that he has shown off in a couple videos about his solar installation. Love your videos and so glad to see you back!
Neutral wires are so much thinner than hot side.. but yet alternating current puts the same voltage through neutral side at 60 HZ (USA). I am just a hobbyist, but I struggle to see why neutral is smaller than hot. Love your videos, glad you are back ✌️
It's amazing that I enjoy technical videos the same as pop/destroy/burn videos... And that intro music put me in mood and seeing that room filled with stuff make me happy as little kid seeing favorite toy shop 😀
Your wiring and build quality is top class. It is wonderful to see you back. Whatever the voltage or current you employ I always know that it is completely safe as you know what you are doing. Very clever man! Also how you build things so quickly is amazing. May your marriage continue in happiness.
Nice job Photon, very neat panel and wiring. It's a popping machine. 0>POP, its all you need to know. Connect anything, turn dial, pop it, science done.
Maybe you could explain your path to such cool independence so young people might be inspired to learn electricity. You have a true gift. Pls pass it on.
If I see that equipment and all those wires and hear all those electrical sounds, I'd run a mile away, catch my breath and thank God I didn't touch anything! This guy is manipulating those things as if it were the most normal thing in the world to do! Thank you, spooky alien!

andy is just great like that :3
he left social media for earn money by work in company.. what a man!

Shouldn't the rolled up Cort work as a ballast and prevent overload so even when the whole drum is burning the fuse wouldn't kick in :D
Was literally just going to ask this, thanks. Would it be fine as long as there is no load on the output?
I've heard that, but I've never seen it be an accrual practical/physical problem. Between all my crews, all my trailers, and all my job sites, I've got well over 100 extension cords.

Probably provide more Radio frequency radiation when unwound too. Resonating at the same frequency as the length of the cable perhaps.
Very true. I melted an extention once while mowing the lawn when I was a kid. Melted together in a coil. Not even on purpose.

zero < pop

Its kina amazing seeing all the comments and views on his new videos, its like everyone was just waiting for him to come back.
The king of TH-cam has risen from the ashes.
The new box looks truly wonderful.
Ahh the sound that variac makes is music to my ears
The sound that electric motor was making at the end was music to the Ears, I thought Photon was going to next over volt the thing and cook it.
You have the most amazing crazy professor-way of talking, and I absolutly love it. You should be a voice actor or read audiobooks.
The automatic closed caption interprets the hum of the transformer as [Music].
When I’m feeling down you always light me up
What a huge ass variac. Must weight a ton! From the vid, movement seems to be butter smooth.

I’m so happy that you’re back uploading videos, your intro really takes me back to my childhood lmao
0-POP on the dial 😜 fucking love it lol
Dang those adjustments look CLEAN, I swear you're actually too good at everything and yet you still casually do all of this stuff.

Turns out revving an electric motor can be just as fun as revving a combustion engine!
if I understood correctly, that was 40,000 watts he ran it on! 400 volts * 100 amps = 40,000 watts = freaking insane. aka classic photonic.
There is something very satisfying about seeing beautifully layed out wiring.
