I’m honestly very impressed that Medhi actually became a little socially awkward around other people… proving the theory that he is just a nerd with a power supply.

[@bigclivedotcom]

I'd say everything that happened was perfectly normal for high voltage experimentation. It usually does involve quite a bit of smoke. Power supplies HATE driving high voltage and high frequency stuff unless the output is grounded. Even the old traditional units used to pop diodes and arc internally during "incidents".

[@TyIsI]

It was also right next to the tesla coil. Tesla coils can do some weird stuff.

[@nodowt]

This reminded me of a strange parts episode where he was having issues with a power supply arc’ing to itself due to altitude. Wonder if that was any factor also?

[@aserta]

Honestly, if there's no smoke... i'd be worried what else went wrong...

[@ranny940]

Hey Medhi, I had actually became a fan a few weeks ago. I had been really struggling with current and voltage since although my teachers are good I have the attention span of a cockroach. I watched a few of your explanations on it and understood everything not only on current and voltage but wayyy more. Thanks Medhi!

[@LongNguyen-dh3bm]

He has a video on voltage, current and resistance

[@neoxyte]

The one thing that helped me understand voltage is the analogy that voltage is like water pressure in a pipe. Not exactly true but it's good enough for beginners to understand.

[@ConsanguinitySlam]

for me, the definition of current is easy to grasp, it’s just a measure of the rate of charges flowing through a wire. more current = more charges moving through the wire in the same period of time (either faster movement or bigger wire that allows more current flow). this is why you need bigger wires as current increases, and you can see in mehdi’s videos when his wires burn it’s because they are too small for the current he’s pushing through them. voltage is tricky to grasp, the definition most people will tell you is “electric potential” but i like to think of it like this: charges want to move from higher potential (+ end of a battery for example) to lower potential (ground or earth for example) always. that’s why most circuits have a ground, that’s the “final destination” of the charges as they always want to flow to ground (0 volts). as voltage increases, the charges want to go to ground more and more. i think of voltage as how badly the charges want to move through the circuit and that current is just the result of the voltage across the circuit (limited by resistance, Ohm’s law relates this very simply). this is why when voltage is high enough, you get arcs through the air like you see in this video. the voltage is high enough to where the charges will jump through the highly resistive air to reach ground. if you took an open circuit and increased the voltage enough, the charges would use the air to close the circuit and move to ground. i’m just an EE undergrad but this has helped me conceptualize it a little better.

[@GenericaQwerty]

I enjoy the image that Gav & Dan just live in their dark studio and scatter like roaches when the outside world breaches their defences. 😂 Can't wait for your analysis video! This was a great collab! Edit: 5:36 the bottom of the trampoline is still rainbow! 😄

[@danieljensen2626]

If you guys ever collab on something like this again it probably wouldn't be that hard for you to make a circuit that generates a trigger signal for the camera so you can just have a very short recording that is triggered exactly when the arc happens.

[@GoatPopsicle]

They did plan for that, but it was literally a forgotten dongle that made it impossible in the allotted time they had together. They needed the phantom camera hooked up to their laptop, but they didn’t have their Ethernet to USB-C dongle on the day of recording. They also weren’t going to use a random part they just bought that day, without extensive testing first. As the Phantom setup they have costs over $200,000.

Such a great collab. Love that the tramp still looks to be covered in powderpaint underneath. Best part is that we know 1.75 M frames is too slow, so now we need another collab once they get an even faster camera. Just keep on going until we figure out how fast we need. And if it really does trigger all at once, then we just get infinite collabs between two super awesome channels.

14:00 Doesn't his camera have a buffered triggering mode like an oscilloscope? It could be buffering frames in a loop waiting for the trigger.
