Coconuts Explode Using Electricity

[@bigclivedotcom]

Still one of my favourites of your videos. Mainly because of the suspense of seeing that pressure gauge going off the scale and the carnage that followed.

[@krisztianszirtes5414]

+bigclivedotcom Oh, you commented on it just now. So this is why it was in my sidebar from your video. KZbin works in damn weird ways...

[@annelisemeier283]

Didnt expect you here, but on the other hand, why not

[@stonent]

+bigclivedotcom Sort of like AvE pressurizing the oil filled pressure gauges to many times their capacity.

[@AlexKiraly]

+bigclivedotcom Funny how I got to this video because of a suggestion from one of yours

[@bigclivedotcom]

+flenge5463 Sadly the spud was not as exciting as these coconuts.

[@Sparkette]

Never thought I'd ever see a coconut with a pressure gauge on it.

[@damemes3669]

[@blackturbine]

It's specific species of the coconut only able to grow under high voltage environment

[@sharcblazer99]

"I do believe that pressure gauge is -oh fuck I'm outta here" Priiiiiiiiiiiceless. XD

[@joshm7769]

I loved that

[@alandouglas2789]

My first thought was; That cat's seen/heard some shit... Then I thought of the neighbours always hearing explosions from next door then having no power

[@LakeNipissing]

Alan Douglas The cat may be (close to) deaf and blind now, from witnessing many arcs and explosions, so reaction responses may be minor.

[@bobwilliams8317]

Funnily enough the coconut explosion made my cat jump

[@terrydavis8451]

who knew coconuts are rated to 170psi

[@volvo245]

Their construction sort of reminds me of composite pressure vessels.

[@terrydavis8451]

+volvo245 Kinda like a paint ball or scuba tank. lol

[@volvo245]

+eric hoagland Yeah in this the pulp/meat or "copra" acts as a non permiable barrier like the aluminium liner in those tanks and the fibrious outer layer is similar to the wound reinforcing filament (kevlar cf or gf). Probably if you dipped or pressure cured these coconuts in epoxy or polyester resin they would withstand double the pressure for a short while. Mind you this is superheated steam and that stuff eats organic material quite readily. If these were done with HPA or HPN the pressure could be lot higher and they might withstand it for a longer time....Robinson Crusoe had no excuse for not building an air gun. :)

[@terrydavis8451]

+volvo245 good to know it's going in my prepping back pack.

[@cecilrichardson2494]

I dunno. With as far off the scale as it went, I'd say coconuts are rated closer to 230 - 280 psi.

[@-Barnx-]

“Faaakin’ hell” BOOM “FAAAAAAKIN’ HELL” Not gunna lie, that made me nose exhale quite hard.

[@LakeNipissing]

D.J. Hyperoptix I did the same, replaying several times, and then attempted to quote Photonicinduction's comments here. Some of the best comedy is unscripted!

[@Pedsonc01]

LakeNipissing ROFL!!

[@LakeNipissing]

LakeNipissing If the coconut is about 4 inches diameter, there would have been about 11,000 LBS of force on the shell from the inside at 220 PSI, which is when the explosion occurred.

[@PMeursault]

he must be the only human who can say, "I've destroyed a TV with a coconut"

[@PMeursault]

***** ok then how about "I've destroyed a TV with a coconut bomb"

[@leomadero562]

"I've destroyed a TV with a coconut using electricity"

[@cecilrichardson2494]

More like, "I've blown up a TV with a coconut."

[@DarthErdmaennchen23]

[@darthrevan2063]

[@phils4634]

Epic! The anticipation of "will it get to 50 PSI??" then it sails past "something over 170 PSI"!! Just shows how VERY strong Nature's fibre reinforced composites are! :-)

[@Snape1337]

IT'S OVER 170 PSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1nePercentJuice]

This guy is fearless. Just performing these kinds of experiments in his living room. Legendary

[@Therm6000]

I like how the red zone exactly marks the point where the pressure does indeed get critical, with the bubbles and all, and how the thing getting PAST the red zone marks the point where the whole building/cocunut would pretty much blow up. No higher measure is needed.

[@hebbejebbe]

"I do believe that pressure gauge is just... oor fuck, I'm out of here"

[@scottkuchciak]

That cats like "what the fuck are you doing in here? I can't get no sleep in this damn house."

[@Scumbelina55]

This is still one of my favourite ever KZbin videos between the coconuts popping, faccking ell, the bits of cup everywhere, the cat that has seen some sh*t, the side eye from Henry the Hoover, telling us how to recreate it ourselves (research and development ;) ) and the fact the neighbours must be like "Clive he's exploding coconuts again". Outstanding from start to finish! Bravo!

[@jeffbankston8806]

He has a point

[@datsunz152]

my shit ebay inter cooler cant even take 30 psi:DD

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

FINALLY! A practical solution to opening a coconut.

[@hili467]

yeah, the juice inside acts as an electrolyte, allowing current to flow between the electrodes. As the liquid heats up from the current it turns to steam, which is what makes it blow. A bigger coconut would have a bigger shell, which could contain more pressure before finally failing in a sudden release of energy (explosion). The part that I find most interesting is that your experiment showed that you didn't want to go above 5 amps. I would have guessed the higher the current, the more heat, and the more quickly the steam builds up, and a quicker explosion. Interesting.

[@zecamel1]

Our whole family have enjoyed your "research and development" videos so much that we now sit around the large screen computer and watch the latest developments in your laboratory. I really love those high voltage transformer you acquired. We have nothing like that here unless we spend many thousands of dollars a piece! Where can we get one? We have been using many neon sign transformers in parallel.Thank you so much! We love you! You are the greatest! Keep it up!

[@electronicsNmore]

Nice explosion! I would hate to see your electric bill. :-)

[@devenwalker4566]

[@TheStiepen]

+Gain Medium does he show/explain that somewhere in detail?

[@ak47suki242]

+TheStiepen He's got a video on it called 'Backup Power Supply'. You've probably seen it by now though.

[@compuguy123]

[@soylentgreenb]

And yet, when the last LCD rolls of an assembly line in Malaysia or somewhere, the best LCD will still not have beaten the best CRT on a wide variety of important points. A CRT combines very low persistence, near perfect black levels and a wide gamut; OLED may beat it one day, but LCD sure as hell can't touch it. In large sizes they are also surprisingly efficient. (in smaller sizes a lot of energy is lost in the heating of the electron gun etc.)

[@daftbence]

+soylentgreenb Oh come on, just let the dinosaur die, don't try to heal it

[@soylentgreenb]

There are more now-living species of dinosaurs than mammals.

[@daftbence]

Destroying a CRT TV by putting a coconut inside and blowing it up. As someone who has destroyed quite a few CRT TVs myself with various tools, I must say I am impressed.

Well, the CRT looks intact. What's destroyed is the rest of the TV.
