I've been in a Woodworking school, all of our teachers were very experienced and would always prioritise safety above everything else. We had to design and craft a small cabinet for one of our end of the year project, and one student wanted to fractal burn his cabinet because It'd look cooler, and his teacher threatened him like "If you try to make or i even see a small fractal burn on your cabinet, you not only won't get your diploma, but I'll EXPEL you from the school, and that's if you're still alive, GOT IT?!"

One of the things they don't tell you and that you didn't mention is that you don't actually have to touch this to be electrocuted. In the example at 11:50, you'll see him lift the electrodes off the wood and an arc continues between the electrodes. Well if your hands or legs or anything are closer to the electrodes than the wood is, that arc will redirect itself to the path of least resistance (i.e. you). Especially if you're using alligator clips and your fingers are a centimeter from the exposed metal, when that arc breaks, it can easily just whip around and attach to both of your hands. I would bet that most of these people who died never touched any part of the metal or wood. They pulled up an electrode and the arc connected to their body. If you want an idea of something closer to what you're dealing with than mains voltage, just look at any of the "electrical substation disconnecting" videos on KZbin. There's a reason no one is anywhere near those things when they disconnect. Just for numbers, it takes about 30,000 volts per centimeter to *start* an arc, but only about 30 volts per centimeter to maintain an arc. US mains voltage will maintain an arc of about 4cm, UK/AU mains voltage will maintain an arc of about 8cm but the voltage from a microwave transformer can maintain at least a half meter arc. Your circuit breakers will disconnect just from the power requirements, but not right away and the damage will already be done.

I also want to point out that even getting the microwave transformer from an old microwave is highly dangerous. Inside of modern microwaves,(even if its been disconnected from power for months and sometimes years) there is still a HV capacitor that holds charge for a long time. If you touch the wrong thing in a microwave even if its disconnected, you can still die; the capacitor can hold charge for years and still deliver enough power to stop your heart. TLDR; do not mess with microwaves unless you have electrical engineering experience.

This comment needs to be higher up, so many devices have a capacitor that can give you a shock. Luckily for me my "learnt it the hard way" was just with a disposable camera (I worked in a photo lab) and while I always removed the battery before doing battle with the casing for the actual film, the flash had apparently been charged and I got enough of a shock to make me yelp (which is unusual for me with pain), burn my finger and have extreme hair frizz (which made the whole thing look cartoonish, but it was no joke). Luckily my finger healed (got first aid burn treatment straight on it), but that capacitor had only charged from a single AAA battery! I dread to think what the capacitor in anything that plugs into the mains could do. Seriously people, don't mess with electrical equipment, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO A POWER SORCE!

@@CharleyU unless it comes from China, many devices include a discharge resistor, which empty these caps in seconds. The capacitor doesn't care what's the power source, mains or AAA battery, what it delivers is expressed in Joules and this is what determines the shock you'll receive. Plus, there is a high voltage transformer (it's switch mode) into cameras that step up the voltage from a pair of 1.5v batteries (or more) to 320v. So I checked the specs of a random microwave, the capacitor is 1.07uF and the voltage is 2400v , so that's 3.08 Joules. A Flash capacitor depends on the camera, but I found 220uF being used in one, at 320v that's 11.264 Joules. Which means the capacitor in the flash camera stores more energy than the capacitor in the microwave.

We made same fractal wood at the University in the course of electrical engineering. There were a dozen layers of passive protection, including a grounded double metal cage. We put the electrodes, left the cage, closed it tightly, otherwise the automation would not work, closed the second cage, and then turned on the switch to supply voltage to the electrodes. What we saw terrified us, because we knew what electricity is and how dangerous it is. It lays the same fractal patterns inside our flesh. That's why injures so massive.

We never really took it seriously and wore gloves anyway because otherwise, you can get small cuts on your fingers from the metal. I almost always wore gloves when using that machine until one day when I met a guy who had lost 3 fingers and half of his hand to that machine because he wore gloves while using it. The tip of his glove got caught in it, causing the rest of his hand to get pulled in. I've never worn gloves when using that machine since I met that guy.

I showed that fractal wood burning to my husband because I thought it was interesting. Another danger he pointed out is depending on the wood, you don’t know if the wood has been treated with anything, the fumes are very bad for you. He was electrocuted on a work site years ago and it took over a year for him to recover and still has nerve damage. Since then, he’s had so many medical problems.

I went to college for Electrical and Computer Engineering and hearing about this stuff is painful. We used to joke in our EEMags course when people would discuss conductors and insulators that "everything is a conductor if you throw enough power at it". Every semester in our electrical lab classes, the lab tech would have a seminar at the beginning of the semester talking about electrical safety and showing us this gory PowerPoint of people who were skinned and burned to death from mistakes in handling high power. And he would emphasize that our lab was only rated for low power systems, we weren't even allowed to touch that stuff. But he did include a very relevant chart that's forever etched into my memory, showing the general values for current that affect male and female bodies and their health effects. At a pretty low current, devices can deliver a shock to you that's so strong, it contracts your muscles to a point that you can't even open your hand, often called the "let go threshold" because at that point you can't let go of the wire electrocuting you. Slightly above that it can disrupt heart functioning, and then it destroys more organ functioning, and then it can start to just melt body tissue. Human bodies are basically resistors in that we both convert electrical energy into heat energy, and everyone who's burned a resistor knows that if you push too much power thru it, it catches fire (even wires can catch fire, we once had a fire burn until the wire melted away into a big whole that cut off the circuit, that was a rough night). Basically if you mishandle fractal wood burning equipment, it becomes fractal human burning equipment. Tbh I wish we learned more about electrical safety in grade school, you shouldn't have to become an engineer to understand what parts of your home can kill you

One of my lab mates decided to take a brass brad (little metal disc with two metal legs coming off the underside for holding papers together) and bend it into the shape of a plug and shove it in the electrical socket. Luckily for everyone he must have let go a the exact moment it completed the circuit, because while the brad shot out of the outlet and sparks danced all over the table he wasn't hurt. He was hauled up in front of the head of camp and threatened with being sent home for doing something so dangerous, and the rest of the class got a full afternoon lecture on the effects of electricity on the human body.

I remember so many instances where I grossly overestimated myself. I remember seeing the fractal woodburning and thinking to myself "oh I should try this one day". Since I started watching Ann I've become much more critical of my skills. Thanks for the important work you do!

Me too! And this is not to say I’m selling myself short or that anyone should “sell themselves short”, but recognizing one’s limitations and realistic skill level(s) is so important.

My friend actually sent me a video of fractal wood burning and she said she wants to do it, but I sent her this video and she now knows how dangerous this hack is.

Don't do anything with electricity, my friend. It's just doesn't worth it :") Don't even think about that!

Former EMT here, I do live in a place where travel time to the ER is 5 minutes or less, but even then...yikes. I feel like I should bring this up to my old coworkers as a training scenario, specifically because of the threat that still-powered equipment could pose to first responders. Thank you for the informative video.

The travel might be 5 minutes or less, but when we take into account all the other steps too: - Seeing the person drop (and reacting to it) - Overcoming panic enough to think to grab the phone and call 000/911/999 - Going through the emergency MPDS call-taking process (which with getting the address and finding out what happened would take at least 1-2 minutes before the job hits the queue, possibly longer if the caller is panicked and isn't answering call-taker questions) - The dispatcher receiving the job, finding an available vehicle, and assigning the job - The crew receiving the job, seeing where it is, and driving there (average to-scene time is usually 8-20 minutes, even lights and sirens) - Gathering equipment from vehicle and making sure scene is actually safe Probably looking at 10-15 minutes at -least- unless you literally happened to have an ambulance parked in the street and not on a job.

Great idea, but please do also remember that the normal safety gear, including gloves, are only rated for 1000V!! To handle anything higher demands, isolated sticks stat in no way are constructed for handling heavy items or persons. Please ask the linemen to come and guide you on how to handle these situations instead! :-)

@@friedmule5403 You don't need gloves for that experiment, if you're planning to touch or be near the high voltage areas, you're already thinking wrong. Because normally, you should be next to the power switch, and when done, you switch the devide off, and unplug it.

This is what KZbin needs: Science and someone to hold those people accountable who perpetuate harmful ideas! I’m so glad it was reinstated. You deserve all the views, Ann.

About meat and toasters. There are actually specifically designed 'toasters' build for cooking meat. The Ronco Ready Grill is effectively a toaster with a drip pan and a basket loading system with a conventional 'minute' timer. I swear by mine and will often use it to make sausages and other meat when I'm feeling lazy.

I looked up "fractal wood burning" just to see what the results looked like and I was so happy to see this video at #2 and the video about this video being banned at #3. In fact, the first 10 or so videos I saw were either videos warning about the dangers or had disclaimers telling people to not try the activity at home!

Commenting for the cause: I almost couldn't believe you'd said fractal wood burning at first. My science teacher told me about it (now) some time ago and the absolute danger of it is genuinely frightening, and the fact some people try it as a DIY hack is even more terrifying. Thank you so much for making this video and for fighting back against KZbin's ridiculous decision.

I just got this video randomly recommended, a year after its upload, so I'm gonna say you're probably doing pretty well within the algorythm now! I've never even heard of fractal wood burning and I never watch cooking channels. Thank you for spreading the word and making the world a safer place.
