High current transformer & Steel Ball

High current transformer : Toroidal Transformer + Thick electric wire 4 turns.
Steel ball : From ball mouse.

[@poppabloodvessel7072]

When he set the ball down with his hands I almost shit my pants. That was too close lol

[@alexgrubbs8635]

PoppaBloodVessel especially putting the hot ball in a glass container not like I could break from the temperature change and spill water on the live wires

[@mustafayigit726]

Nothing would happen if you touch those wires, the voltage is too low :)

[@Amandeepsingh1313]

PoppaBloodVessel yes I got also shoked

[@hebelehubele872]

İts writing high current not high voltage

[@j5892000]

Louby Saldy so less turns lower voltage but thicker wired allows more current right?

[@alkhan4921]

Amazing experiment. Congratulations!

[@hulago1234]

thanks for your suicidal bravery in playing with mains now I get to learn that some things are possible using mains without having to risk my life.

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

yes mains voltage is very deadly. MOTS are deadly too. Never attempt what u see if you do not know what you are doing. You never get a 2nd chance with electricity. I've been shocked by mains voltage plenty of times and even a few times by a car's ignition coil pack. I was pulling wires off to see which cylinder was firing incorrectly. Well needless to say an arc occured when I pulled it off and went to my hand. My arm was numb and i fell back, the car stopped running too. Never did that again LOL

[@supafly1982]

+Christopher Ryan lol yeah the cars give you a helluva jolt :)

[@alexgrubbs8635]

I freaked out when he sat the ball betw the two Live wires and had a heart attack

[@jakedassan4117]

Would this be considered refining (with regards to the steel ball)?

[@helpful_idea]

I had seen this kind of mouse 15 years ago.

[@kalonivek717]

This makes me wonder... What if you tempered steel blades using electrcity? Monitoring the current, and voltage, and setting a timer could give you a near perfect temper... Does this already exist?

[@Zeppelinzulu]

I was just wondering the same thing.....would it heat the blade evenly all at the same time or would it start at the points of contact and gradually heat the blade through? Have you managed to find the answer yet? I'm just starting out on blade smithing so looking at all the different options

[@colathebuilder3-652]

Kevin Kertesz I bet electrical blacksmithing would be cool!

[@crackedemerald4930]

The blade would probably only hear up in the way of the shortest distance of the current flow Aka, it would make a line of heat and it would spread away

[@marvinecksteincool]

It's a very common thing when you are tempering gears. Every (spike) of the gear gets tempered separately with electricity so you can provide the elastic core of the gear.

[@finnigan16]

Any idea how much current you were drawing on your secondary side? You should get a clamp on meter or two and show the difference in current on your primary and secondary sides, just for the sake of a fun experiment.

[@lugui]

Carsandwater chanel will enjoy that

[@miguellink1608]

I like de way you get steel balls

[@humzaad9640]

How much is your electricity bill?

[@my4x4fun34]

thomas, can this setup be used as an induction heater? in other words those two ends of big wire....attach a smaller solid wire that is in a certain size winding to fit over or around a siezed or rusted nut/bolt and turn it redhot for removal? for instance the boltbuster or the mini ductor...

How did you not trip your circuit breaker?

[@thequantaleaper]

The same reason other transformers don't pop the breakers. The thin wire used in transformers is VERY long. It's long so that as electricity flows through it, it doesn't have time to burn up before the current direction changes. If you tried to run DC through a transformer's input - it would burn out. The 50hz AC flow through the transformer's input creates/collapses a strong electric field within the toroid (as in this example) which in turn induces a flow of current on the secondary (the thick cable with 4 turns). This ratio of many primary turns to a few secondary turns makes this a step down transformer which reduces the voltage but increases the amperage. Likewise, if the primary had a few turns and the secondary had thousands of turns you would have a step-up transformer used to power high voltage devices. Because of the high input current of such devices, the power is usually ran through a regulated supply to ramp up the voltage without shorting the mains.

[@Observ45er]

Casey Goode Correction, Casey. The current in the primary of the transformer is MUCH LOWER because there are many more turns, not because it is longer. Yes, it must be longer to get more turns, but it is the number of turns that counts. Current on the primary (in put side) is lower by the turns ratio of this transformer that he made himself. As you correctly point out, a transformer converts the current to a higher level at the same time bringing the voltage to a lower level --- AT THE SAME POWER (minus some small losses). ... Let's say that he has 100 watts here. P=V * I. At 120 volts line voltage, there will be 0.833 amps. Art the 1.3 volts he shows hs is getting, this is 76.9 amps. ... If he is actually getting 600 Amps at the 1.3 volts he shows, then he has 780 Watts. 780 watts at 120 volts is only 6.5 amps. ... If not in this video, then he shows the open circuit voltage for this home-made transformer (with 4 turns on the secondary) of 1.3 volts in another of his videos. ... Also, if he has 1.3 volts on the secondary and is on 120 volt mains, he has 93 turns on the primary. If he has 220 volt mains, then the primary has 169 turns on the primary. ... When you have a step-up transformer, the voltage is higher on the secondary (current lower) and the current on the primary will be higher (voltage lower=mains voltage) than on the secondary, but the power you draw must be below the braker's limit, or yes, it will blow. I do not know what breakers are in countries that have 220 Volt mains. In the US, 120 volt breakers are usually 15 amps. This is alimit of 120v * 15a or 1,800 Watts max. So, whatever the transformer does to the voltage (that is: step-up, or step-down), the current flowing on the mains side will be set by the transformer's primary current that is drawn from the breakers. -- Cheers, ScienceAdvisorSteve

[@jazzzzzCat]

Casey Goode I laughed hard at "It's long so that as electricity flows through it, it doesn't have time to burn up before the current direction changes".

[@tcwoodworksanddesign2019]

Dika Prasetya cannot trip breaker if you're tapped directly to the electric pole.

[@Observ45er]

+Dika Prasetya Been a long time, since I watched this, but... IIR He describes this transformer in a earlier video, but I don't recall the specifics. ... In transformers the voltage ratio is the same as the turns ratio and the current ratio is the inverse of the voltage ratio. With 1.3 volt on the secondary, this is somewhere around 100:1. (I don't know the power line voltage he has. ... If the primary has, say 400 turns; and I see the secondary has 4 turns this is a 100:1 turns ratio. If there is 100 amps in the secondary, then this is only 1 ampere in the primary.

[@amitpancharya6561]

what is the toroidal core size and gage/ turns of secondary.

From what device this toroid transformer comes?

[@letsmakesomething6217]

Why does this heat the ball and not the wire itself? copper is a better conductor of electricity and heat?

[@martinez3355]

genius

[@IDontRollMyRs]

Don't you have residual-current relay on your main incoming breaker box? or did you disable it? or did you disable the main incoming breaker, as i know 100 amps for a household is too much and it would trip the main incoming breaker.

[@h.r9149]

since he has probably a 230 V input and the output is only 1.3 he has ~~~ 100 times the current on the secondary than on the primary so even if it only had a 16 A tripper he would be able to pull 1600 A out of it

[@garyngzb]

[@jg6582]

Would this be a possible good way to forge steel with for hammering? (Aside from the traditional blacksmiths' forge)

[@thequantaleaper]

It could, in theory, but it would be incredibly inefficient. In order to melt any reasonable thickness of steel core material in a crucible would require extremely high current - which in turn - would require even thicker feed lines. Most modern foundries and metal working stations use either inductive heating (alternating magnetic current induction) or arc heating by means of a high voltage plasma arc. Induction heaters are the most common though.

[@jg6582]

Casey Goode Yeah you make a good point. How about a solar forge? That'd be pretty sweet, if the suns out. Put your weapons into this blinding beam of light coming from the ceiling and get it glowing before you work on.

This is why I don't trust nerds. We see a mouse ball crack open and say "Oh! There's a steel ball in here." and forget about it. The nerd is like "I wonder if I can melt it with electricity."

매우 신기 하네요.!!

[@Meijsk]

(I'm French) I'm very scared when you put the little ball whithout protections, it's very dangerous. That's great, but... be careful ;)

[@Bourougne]

Il n'y a que 1,3 volts à la sortie, mais avec un énorme ampérage, comme les postes à souder très basse tension. Mais il n'est pas recommandé de toucher les fils, bien que le courant faible ne traverse pas la peau en-dessous de 48V.
