Ballistic Gel Vs Electricity

[@leokimvideo]

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.

[@rizkyp]

Humming transformers always scares me.

[@lorenzo42p]

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.

[@MrDrury27]

The silent ones are more dangerous. Not that the "low voltage" humming one wouldn't kill you.

[@ivanrodionov9724]

is it only me, who likes humming transformers?

[@VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa]

Yes, because high quality transformers are quiet, and old or bad ones are humming.

[@ivanrodionov9724]

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..."

[@rykehuss3435]

We dont lower the volume on this channel, do we boys?

You could always make a Tesla coil for yourself to generate some ozone too.

[@hmvocaloid7360]

I love how at 100KV, the camera can't even show the spark because of how bright it is.

[@albatross_v2]

It's more likely due to how fast the spark is and the relatively slow frame rate of the camera he is using.

[@Dwornlk]

you should totally get a slow motion camera

[@DarrenBoss1984]

Andy, you need a camera with a CCD sensor, CMOS sensors are crap for this kind of thing due to their rolling shutter.

[@HighTreason610]

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.

[@AintBigAintClever]

Maybe next time compare with gel made using distilled water?

[@ketatrypt]

what would the difference be?

[@gristc]

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.

[@kg4boj]

Salt water would be more accurate

[@kreeperfrm559]

What about deionized water ???

[@kingcrafterhah2802]

Why does the camera capture it in such a weird way?

[@tooplepsy3930]

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.

[@Circuitssmith]

[@MrKldenton]

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.

[@VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa]

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.

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.
