The stories about your first and subsequent electrocution remind me so much of my own childhood. The shock wasn't as dramatic as your 220, but 120 still give you quite the shock!

[@theslvrbullt]

Fun story relating to the last bit there about the US power plugs. It was a Saturday morning around 8, and I was trying to sleep in. However, the crappy charger for my phone popped out of the power strip I was using. I groggily picked it up and tried to plug it in, but noticed my phone wasn't charging. So, I go to grab the thing and almost fall out of my bed as I get a hell of a jolt. Turns out that the poorly designed power strip I was using allowed me to plug in only one prong, and my thumb ended up touching the exposed prong when I went to grab it.

[@bengineer8]

I somehow shocked myself when trying to plug something in in the dark, no poorly designed power strip needed I did, however, get electrocuted once when grabbing a power strip off a wet floor. Good thing my boots were completely isolated

My first experience was: Pressing the little red reset button on the back of my parents old CRT television. Somehow it arced some high voltage and threw my tiny baby body a full 10 feet across the room. My second experience: I took my cub scout pocket knife blade and put it across both prongs of the plug end, while it was plugged in to the wall outlet, similarly to how it was shown in the video. I swear I met god that time.... (I became a plumber...)

6:07 well Mehdi, its actually a thing, breadboard computers and its used to teach the basics of computer hardware architecture (ik you know it) of a CPU (mainly), and a good meter is actually a requirement for this because generally we use 74LS family IC to build them, so ensure smooth power continuity and calculating the power drops because of LEDs and also the amount of current drawn has to be accurate, so it's indeed a great thing to have a good meter

[@jagitlittlepill5863]

I found your site to be funny as heck. I teach kids that don't have much are underprivileged the basics of electronics. Started out with my son's friends. While repairing a flat screen television my son's friends were so amazed to see this first hand. One young man asked if I'd show him how to do this. That's been two years ago and now I teach 25 undeprevlieg kids electronics repairs troubleshooting. I don't charge them just try to pass on the magic my father gave me. But to see these kids so pumped over a little soldier smoke made me remember when I first started. I see that you have giveaways on scopes and meters. I'm not asking for a new one. But if yu have an old scope you don't use maters that as well all I ask is before you throw them out would you consider passing them on for a good cause. I would pay the shipping. If this is something you can do. I understand if you don't keep old stuff. I do get a kick out of your videos. Again I understand if this isn't something you can do, I still watch you. God bless you and your family sir keep up the laughter. [e-mail].

[@njones420]

1st time I got shocked : replacing an American plug with a UK one, don't use sticky tape to join wires (I was 10 years old, and took 220v). 2nd time: trying to fix a lightswitch, the copper was sticking out of the side of one of the wires (I didnt switch off the circuit, doh). 3rd time: while building a tesla coil I forgot to discharge the capacitors, took a hell of a jolt, my arm was thumping for a couple of days, and I'm sure it gave me arrhythmia for weeks. 4th time: Not my fault, one of the wall sockets in my kitchen was running off a separate ring, discovered this when I removed and tried to twist the wires for a new socket. not looking forward to number 5 :)

I recently soldered a barrel connector snipped from a wall adapter to a molex adapter to power an Odroid XU4 from a computer's 5v rail. If I had a meter I would have known that the wire from the wall adapter was improperly marked. At least now I know what happens when you push 5v backwards into a single board computer, and if I were designing a single board computer, maybe I would put a rectifier on the input.

3:49 that's exactly how I got a 220V (60Hz) shock back in 1999 when I was 9 years old. The plugs used here are exactly like that shown at 2:23 except that a lot of them have full metal pins that doesn't have that plastic area to prevent our fingers to touch them, that's how I got a electric shock when I plugged an old liquidificator (or mixer?) in the outlet, I didn't notice that my finger was touching one of the pins when I inserted the plug in the outlet.

My uncle had a party once and I was around the back of the house with my cousins. We found the part of the plug your stick into the wall, one of those europlugs with two prongs. One of my cousins said it would shock me if I touched it. I said that's impossible because it's the part you plug in, not the socket. So I proceeded to demonstrate my knowledge by jamming the two prongs directly onto the palm of my hand. I got shook. I don't know how much electricity went through my palm, but it left two small scars where the prongs touched my skin. My hairstyle also got messed up. The house was powerd by a solar system.
