As an electrician I’m pretty impressed by the logsplitter disconnect switch. I’m also impressed that little 10KA 15a cct breaker tripping properly. I’ve never seen a person intentionally cause so many arc faults.
My stepdad did the unthinkable and was taking a shower during a lightning storm. We heard a loud boom and the house shook like crazy, and the power went out. Turns out the outer power line running INTO the house was hit directly by lightning. The cables were melted into the brick siding, and half the fuse box was melted... half the fuse box... The other half was fine. The main breaker was tripped. It saved my stepdad's life. He didn't get so much as a shock.
The things this man does really does make me question if this guy is still alive after not uploading for months. And then he uploads an absolute banger. Gotta love it.
Yep. I've no idea how he acquires all the apparatus he uses and I only think this unhinged genius perhaps has wealthy parents or something. At least he has an outlet for his creativity else he may be a supervillan worthy of James Bond.
i love the conversation that happened around 12:00 *"how would you guys do this?"* "we could mount it on a block of wood" "its probably a bad idea to mount it on a block of wood" *"ok but i really wanna see it explode"* "then you would probably mount it on a block of wood" "hey thats what i said" "oh yea lol"
So none of you are wondering why they just disappeared from the video suddenly without any justification? Styropyro is prob extremely akward irl and thats why they both left before it even got dark.
OOF! At first I thought you are putting them in series and lying on them!! Thanks god it is in parallel... I'll continue watching HAH! I see you made some sort of railgun in the process!

Actually, a car battery setup similar to what you show here is sometimes used in lightning labs. I'm an electromagnetic effect engineer retired from a large aerospace company located in the Seattle area. I don't know if they still do it this way, but when I was there, we used the car batteries to simulate the "C" component of the lightning strike. The C component tests for long duration dwell time attachments. For this component, the current isn't the critical issue, it's the charge transfer (Coulombs) that is important. We would use the batteries to put 200 to 800 Amps through a test item for however long it takes to transfer 20 Coulombs. This component is used to test items that might get welded by the lightning strike. For example, hinges or actuators. I used to keep a blob of aluminum in my desk drawer for show and tell. The switch used for the C component got stuck shut during one of my tests and before the technician could pull the panic (backup) switch, a 2 inch "V" shaped notch was cut into a quarter inch thick "L" extrusion. The blob was what dripped down onto the test stand... Just be careful, son. People have died in lightning labs.

I work at an auto parts store. On a slow day I counted our 200 batteries and did some math and wondered what would happen if they were in series & in parallel. I can’t believe my luck that you posted exactly this
your smile as you proceed to chuck lead acid batteries into the lake is honestly the best part about all of this. it's hard being an environmentalist sometimes, but who else is gonna save the eels
I'd ask myself who's going to save yourself (us and the earth) from your insane self righteous "god given" Ohh wait you don't believe in God. . . The sad thing is you were born and indoctrinated as SCIENCE is the God and creator. Ohh how little you know child. . and you mutter nonsense about some batteries in a lake. . . How about you clean out your own lake first?
that shot at 34:39 is alot more impressive than it first looks, the way the ground just "ascends" because of all the metal splattered around is really eerie
@@nicholaskeener2310 yeah.... that would go very bad.... with 12v it's easy to break the circuit. Lightning has so much voltage it travels through the air lol. Would be very hard to break that connection
I absolutely love the ending. The bits of knowledge about lead acid batteries while you throw them into the lake, ending with them being the most recycled consumer product is just delicious. I may or may not have come back to the video just to watch the end again.
It happens all of the time, its why I love that science is a cumulative effort. During my thesis I would regularly spend days racking my brain for a solution, then when consulting with other grad students they'd immediately come up with an extremely simple and elegant idea that made my life 100x easier. Sometimes we all just need to give a friend some wood 🥲
As a bug nerd absolutely loved seeing the polyphemus moth at 7:17 who thought this weapon of mass destruction was the perfect place to tuck in for the day.
7:43 I love this quote "The zinc coating boiled off faster than it can burn, and when the rod finally exploded it left a cloud of greenish plasma" 28:38 it created a ring shaped smoke cloud on the left side 30:27 that's the sound of a tortured physical law I wouldn't wonder if Styropyro creates the mysterious "ball lightning" by accident during one of these experiments.
@@skylined5534 PhotonicInduction is awesome, but it seems he stopped uploading as much as he used to, if at all. Haven't seen a video from him in years now.
Its crazy to think, the only thing actually making noise is not a chemical reaction releasing gases, but the enormous amount of heat pouring into the surrounding gases in the air causing it to expand. Its a lot of crazy physics going on here. This is one of the coolest videos ive seen on TH-cam in a while.
The same thing that cause thunder. When the lighting causes the air to expand so fast that it. The noise come from air molecules bumping up next to each other. Kinda like a sonic boom on a jet that goes pasted the speed of sound.
Imagine a superhero who has the technical support of styropyro. That would be one heck of trilogy with more one liners than a Chris Farley movie blooper reel.
Hearing this man say "here we go!" So casually as he proceeds to create some of the biggest electrical explosions I've ever seen while standing amidst the torrent of molten metal literally raining down in him without flinching is one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed
I have watched this man go from modifying airsoft guns to fit blue ray lasers in to blowing up steel rods with car batteries that generate scary levels of fundemental forces. And i could not be more proud.
WAIT IF YOU LOOK AT THE US ARMY RAILGUN THING, IT USES THE SAME KIND OF SET UP AND MAGNETIC FORCE TO LAUNCH A PROJECTILE, WE NEED HIM TO MAKE A RAILGUN WITH 400 CAR BATTERIES!
He lives completely alone in the woods, does crazy electrical and chemical experiments, makes eye-watering lasers (underestimate), and has like all the animals as pets. I have no clue what adjectives i can use to describe him. He is special
28:38 The first Titanium rod somehow blew a perfect smoke ring! It's in the top left as it continues to move. Love the videos, can't wait to see what other shinanigans is up next!
The second one too from the angle of the grass, it's just much harder to see! I wonder why they showed up with titanium and not some of the other materials. 28:48
Isn't that what an "experiment" is? The age we live in affects how it is communicated, but stuff along these lines has been presented at the Royal Society for centuries
I'm just impressed that a smoke ring formed from the sheer chaos of the explosion. Like it's inherently a chaotic event so I wonder what the odds of that are
34:39 It's insane how it looks like the magnetic forces involved when you switch on are ripping up metal chunks left in the ground. Just an insane detail to notice, and really add to how terrifying it all is.
That was insane! The titanium "flamethrower" was especially bonkers. And the fact that Anydesk's CEO was even entertaining this idea in casual conversation, let alone contacting you with the idea and fully sponsoring the video, is beyond lunacy, but in the most unexpectedly awesome way.
Hahaha I said that to my daughter, I'm like honey we know this kid is nuts but that is really dangerous 😂 he's got literal plasma and f@@king home made meteorites flying through the air 20 or so feet from hundreds of pounds of napalm 😂🤣. Makes my shooting a beer off 5the house propane tank look ghey
I always root for you young man! I'm 65 years old and I busted out laughing when you said you would just throw the batteries in the ocean. Great sense of humor.
After 20 years working with lots of VRLA battery banks, it did exactly what I expected. But I can say that you sir, are a little insane and highly entertaining.
I love how you tell people how unsafe this is and not to try it at home while laying atop the setup. Gold. Pure gold. Love your humor and charisma as much as the science. Bill Nye would still have his 90s tv show if he knew his stuff like styropyro.
The real danger here is similar to an arc flash hazard. Not the voltage, but the current creating a powerful shower of sparks that can cause severe burns.

Theoretical physicists: There is a non zero chance that two objects can pass through each other Practical physicists: I passed this metal bar through a microwave
@@Eristotle222 On a human scale yeah it is definitely effectively zero, but for micro objects like electrons it is measurable. Suppose that helps my joke though, one says I know that theoretically an electron can pass through, the other says well watch me pass this half-inch bar through a microwave

Can you imagine being one of his neighbors during those evening shots and hearing the pops, bangs and swooshes, then seeing his yard light up? He must have them on a mass text to warn them not to call 9-1-1. I'm a retired electrical engineer and this is the first time seeing a StyroPyro video. Excellent work! You've snagged another subscriber!
I’m reading a book by physicist Eric Learner called “the big bang never happened,” and some of the things that he talks about going on in outer space like tremendous magnetic currents floating through space and causing material to fuse together give some idea of the power of plasma. It’s a revealing read.
As an electronics graduate, every time I see his videos, I get to re-live all the crazy thoughts that went through my brain during my education but was too scared to try them. Thanks for living the dream! Every time I see him lying on that bed of batteries My heart heats slightly faster.
@@he8535 They have a little more than 12 V when full, not enough to get through the resistance of the skin. Officially safe voltages for stuff like kids toys are 48 V DC, 24 V AC.
To be fair skin is still variable in resistance. I still wouldn't recommend touching them. Its probably fine but just safe to not unless you absolutely have to.
Saw someone mention this and I also thought it be a good idea so imma just say it too, if you ever wanna do a collab, slow mo guys would be amazing! Seeing things in slow mo as you probably know can help comprehend things better since you get to analyze more things the normal eye cant catch and also, things look sick in slow mo!

We watched this in our university physics class, we were talking about magnetism and current, so he pulled this up as a demonstration. This is absolutely awesome
Must be a young fella. lots of our physics professors were well past their 50s and 60s. I don't think they would have offered up a video like this one. Pretty cool physics professor.
@@manan-543 If you're at university physics level, then yes. I understood what was going on and Styro explained pretty well at that level. This isn't exactly something you could explain without any background knowledge.

Well, this is exactly how I'd expect him to interact with other people. He makes two other people who do insane engineering things look completely sane.

I work at an auto parts store. On a slow day I counted our 200 batteries and did some math and wondered what would happen if they were in series & in parallel. I can’t believe my luck that you posted exactly this
Now sponsor him to make even more bombastic video!
“Is it time to dump all these car batteries in the ocean?!” 💀
What, fishes need energy too!
gotta recharge the eels
@@PawlysBartys "looks like batteries are back on the menu boys" -pond eels
Not yet!
You don't dump yours in to the ocean?
your smile as you proceed to chuck lead acid batteries into the lake is honestly the best part about all of this. it's hard being an environmentalist sometimes, but who else is gonna save the eels
and then that coward went back in and got them out >:(
I'd ask myself who's going to save yourself (us and the earth) from your insane self righteous "god given" Ohh wait you don't believe in God. . . The sad thing is you were born and indoctrinated as SCIENCE is the God and creator. Ohh how little you know child. . and you mutter nonsense about some batteries in a lake. . . How about you clean out your own lake first?
@@MetalBreach Well you need to recharge the batteries again once eels are full of electricity
This gives me hope for the next generation
@@MetalBreach actually we didn't see him pull them out, and where are the other 90 batteries? 😉
His unblinking gaze into my soul is very unnerving

He managed to survive. Pretty cool right?.. Let's try double the power.
Pretty cool, right?
Then, while leaving the body you hear "Ahhh, I've popped it!"
that shot at 34:39 is alot more impressive than it first looks, the way the ground just "ascends" because of all the metal splattered around is really eerie
DANG! I didn't notice that on my first watch through! It's like a real life anime power up!

35:10 Never have I been more terrified than when I discovered the only thing holding Styro back from creating literal lightning is money
he already did? the avg lightning strike is just 30kA, he got up to like 50
@@smb1397he didn’t get the voltage of a lightning strike though
@@nicholaskeener2310 yeah.... that would go very bad.... with 12v it's easy to break the circuit. Lightning has so much voltage it travels through the air lol. Would be very hard to break that connection
GOOD Someone should be on this by now.
*So... we're all in on a GoFundMe? I want control the Eastern Seaboard when Styro seizes global control.*
I absolutely love the ending.
The bits of knowledge about lead acid batteries while you throw them into the lake, ending with them being the most recycled consumer product is just delicious.
I may or may not have come back to the video just to watch the end again.
I like how he got two famous TH-cam scientists together to solve a problem only for them to eventually tell him "just use a piece of wood", lol.
Just the KISS principle.
(Keep It Simple, Stupid).
"Yeah.. that wood work!"
Crack head engineering
It happens all of the time, its why I love that science is a cumulative effort. During my thesis I would regularly spend days racking my brain for a solution, then when consulting with other grad students they'd immediately come up with an extremely simple and elegant idea that made my life 100x easier. Sometimes we all just need to give a friend some wood 🥲
He wanted to show them the cool metal atomizer he built, can't blame him.
It's always comforting when Styropyro uploads, knowing that he's still with us. Always my 'current' favourite TH-camr.
Its good to know he uploaded this experiment=didn't die in the attempt.
Ah ahahahahaha lol current
As a bug nerd absolutely loved seeing the polyphemus moth at 7:17 who thought this weapon of mass destruction was the perfect place to tuck in for the day.
I love his little random moth features always makes my day.

Yo i started squeaking when i saw that fella
That thing was real?
dude I love you. you bring back all of the 2009 youtube humor and it warms my cold heart
This might be the most insane video I've ever seen on youtube. You have really outdone yourself.
7:43 I love this quote "The zinc coating boiled off faster than it can burn, and when the rod finally exploded it left a cloud of greenish plasma"
28:38 it created a ring shaped smoke cloud on the left side
30:27 that's the sound of a tortured physical law
I wouldn't wonder if Styropyro creates the mysterious "ball lightning" by accident during one of these experiments.
At this rate styro is the only one being reckless enough to discover a new natural phenomenon by accident.
" the sound of a tortured physical law " I'm gonna use that one!
Gotta love how styro is just lounging on those batteries like a pin-up model at various points in the video
and to say we got all those shots for free
@@voice4397 I like what you're implying. _aggressively slams credit card on desk_
He would never have done that if he had the batteries wired in series for much greater than 50 volts.

"One point twenty-one jiggerwatts? Gosh, that's cray-zee!"
I don’t think he’ll make it to old age judging by how crazy he is…
Its crazy to think, the only thing actually making noise is not a chemical reaction releasing gases, but the enormous amount of heat pouring into the surrounding gases in the air causing it to expand. Its a lot of crazy physics going on here. This is one of the coolest videos ive seen on TH-cam in a while.
That's hot.
The same thing that cause thunder. When the lighting causes the air to expand so fast that it. The noise come from air molecules bumping up next to each other.
Kinda like a sonic boom on a jet that goes pasted the speed of sound.
Imagine a superhero who has the technical support of styropyro. That would be one heck of trilogy with more one liners than a Chris Farley movie blooper reel.
The "titanium flamethrower" blew a perfect smoke ring! (about 28:30 for those interested)
I noticed that too, and then proceeded to check the comments for anyone else who saw it...
@@b_unno :)
I saw that too! It was so cool!
That was crazy! I'm surprised he didn't mention it
i didnt notice that, but pretty cool
Hearing this man say "here we go!" So casually as he proceeds to create some of the biggest electrical explosions I've ever seen while standing amidst the torrent of molten metal literally raining down in him without flinching is one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed
Makes me feel a bit weak dressed in up in my 40cal arc suit while working in front of a 25kA PSSC switchboard....
Omg yes
It is absolutely nuts to know this guy is 31 years old, he looks not a day older than 19

38 minutes of Styropyro playing with 100 car batteries. Just what I need.
He lives completely alone in the woods, does crazy electrical and chemical experiments, makes eye-watering lasers (underestimate), and has like all the animals as pets. I have no clue what adjectives i can use to describe him. He is special

@@solitaregames you sound like you have never watched any of his videos. How did you end up here?
@@pace_18 nope, i have seen his two laser guns some years back.
And there is an inner joke in my comment.
I'm glad you clarified that for me... I was thinking his parents left him the house while they went on a long business trip...
13:17 You know it's a bad idea when styropyro tells you to be careful
28:38 The first Titanium rod somehow blew a perfect smoke ring! It's in the top left as it continues to move. Love the videos, can't wait to see what other shinanigans is up next!
didn't see that at first, great catch!
That is beyond cool
saw that too, damn
so glad i wasnt the only one who saw it, thanks for saying what it is
The second one too from the angle of the grass, it's just much harder to see! I wonder why they showed up with titanium and not some of the other materials. 28:48
I love that we live in an age where someone can do ludicrous experiments for no other reason than curiosity over what the results might be.
Isn't that what an "experiment" is? The age we live in affects how it is communicated, but stuff along these lines has been presented at the Royal Society for centuries
There’s no other channel like yours my dude. Been watching for years ❤
You mean like every experiment ever to exists ?
@@gregw1076 The only difference between an experiment and fucking around, is writing it down

The fact that AnyDesk came up with this is incredible. I am glad they clearly gave you the creative freedom to do what you wanted with this.
As someone who has been using any desk for a few years, i am so glad to see them here lmao
Marketing genius. Bring the people more styropyro semisanity !
this might be my favorite video ever, it has everything, the discarded experiments are cool enough for a video about them alone.
the end of the video with him throwing the car batteries in a lake and then being in the lake with them back on the dock is just comedic gold
I'm guessing he tied fish strings to the batteries before tossing them, I hope :)
He just jumped in and found them again lol last clip of video him in water
The electric eel had enough power that day.
You don’t want to leave them on the charger or they’ll go “spicy pillow.”
It's wild the shit you find in water. There is a damn refrigerator in a creek I fish.
Anyone notice the perfect smoke ring at 28:39 ? Just love seeing those things because they’re very visually satisfying.
Yep, I commented on it to
I'm just impressed that a smoke ring formed from the sheer chaos of the explosion. Like it's inherently a chaotic event so I wonder what the odds of that are
There the comment. To all my to much detail people. Keep on noticing
@@Lotte_Daran straight to the comments to see if anyone else saw that😂😂😂
34:39 It's insane how it looks like the magnetic forces involved when you switch on are ripping up metal chunks left in the ground. Just an insane detail to notice, and really add to how terrifying it all is.
