Make a Dangerous Mains Full Bridge Rectifier

[@middleeasternvibes7981]

*Electroboom flashbacks* Also i subbed great content you should have more subs. 😘❤️

[@backofficeshow]

Much appreciated 😂😂

[@neatt3815]

"That's scary, isn't it" 😂😂 man this is sketchy as hell and I love it 😂

[@sacrajah]

A fearless adventure on the bridge Rectifier. I appreciate you have warned the viewers about the dangers repeatedly.. Good luck.

[@RileyAiC]

wow a FUUULLL BRIIIIDGE RECTIFIAA!!

[@backofficeshow]

In the flesh 😂

[@BedsitBob]

What can you use your FWBR for? Add some resistors, and you could drive a string of LEDs.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

FWBR are awesome, I just built one to rectify a microwave transformer I'll be using to charge a capacitor bank, they're beautifully simple devices. By the way you should try the Flux that comes in a syringe, it's extremely convenient, no need for a brush or other tool to apply it, you just squeeze a little onto your workpiece and you're done and it prevents over application, a little dab will do ya.

[@ukzoinks]

Not The FULL WAVE BRIDGE RECTIFIER then.

[@backofficeshow]

Electroboom is bloody fantastic! 😂

[@jasonjohnson6216]

This video helped me out so much, thank you

[@backofficeshow]

You are most welcome 👍

[@RealSlavGod]

Does the LED not blow up because the series resistor takes enough voltage drop to bring the voltage going through LED low enough?

[@backofficeshow]

That's the accelerated learning programme 😂

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Hard lessons are the best lessons as they say🤣

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

chisel tip is better for heat transfer.

[@backofficeshow]

I spotted at least one mistake I made saying that the high voltage caps will give you a shock where as the capacitance is probably more important factor in this in terms of how much charge you are going to feel! Looking at my diagrams I'm not even sure they are right now! It's clearly been two long a week, I'll have to look again tomorrow 🤔 Can you spot any more?

[@i_teleported_bread7404]

That's right, it's not a puny single-diode rectifier, it's a *FOOL BRIDGE*

[@backofficeshow]

FOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL BRIDGEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DubiousEngineering]

How can one make a bridge rectifier so interesting? ... great work DrA

[@backofficeshow]

Are you talking about my video or someone else's? 😂 Very kind, thank you!

[@EdwinNoorlander]

Hey hi, nice to see you here. 👋🏻

[@BedsitBob]

It was reading - 216V, because you had the meter leads on the wrong ends of the rectifier.

[@gameyord7182]

About something to use this with...... Maybe a vaccum tube amp?

[@backofficeshow]

Yeah, a power supply for something?

[@russellwilson5246]

do those diodes have a direction or you just put them in any way?

[@backofficeshow]

They do have a direction, it's important they go in the correct way

[@BedsitBob]

Yes, they must all point in the same direction, ie, toward the same end of the rectifier.

[@blazehenot2536]

Is there a way to step down the voltage to like 12 volts 100 watts or something

[@backofficeshow]

Yes, you need to add a transformer kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHK0oJica9StldU

[@KarldorisLambley]

yes, several in fact

[@R_T_Ralph]

i get scared when you use mains electricity.

[@backofficeshow]

Me too. One bite and you stay bit! Especially high voltage DC 😬

[@garfield4629]

I made one of these and my resistor blew up lol Edit: it was 2k omws

[@backofficeshow]

I guess that's how we learn 😂

[@garfield4629]

@@backofficeshow yep😕

[@KarldorisLambley]

i fail to see why this is so dangerous. it is only dangerous if you touch it. 240v can't arc very far. so really it is rather safe

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

you can die it is not guaranteed. I got hit by main voltage as a kid didn't kill me but sure did hurt. Never did it again.

[@TheMatthooks]

Shouldn't that read AC-DC?

[@backofficeshow]

I'm not sure, but I will look into it! 😄

[@thedutchretrogamer]

thank yiu

[@mahekshah9337]

YOU LACK A INRUSH RESISTOR (NTC) I WONDER HOW MANY AMPS DOES THIS DRAW FROM THE MAINS .GIVEN THAT YOU USE THAT BIG RESISTOR

[@reekymirror6764]

DID YOU FORGET THAT CAPS LOCK WAS ON?

[@reekymirror6764]

Just wondering...

[@backofficeshow]

Probably just angry

[@ujjwalchauhan3933]

Ac to dc hota hai AD to DC nahi logo dhelhiye

[@thedutchretrogamer]

hello have a nice weekend and it`s not for me i call it a fsbr (ful scary bridge rectifier) btw my name is missing on the patreon roll (:

[@backofficeshow]

A little too hot to touch!?

[@thedutchretrogamer]

@@backofficeshow indeed

[@cornboy3]

Nothing I do ever sticks. It doesn't matter though. I give no flux.

[@backofficeshow]

Zero flux given 😂

[@EdwinNoorlander]

😨your experimenting with 240volts😱 is this video from before your birthday? Ps. You now a led is diode so you can make a half bridge rectifier with led’s. And make use of the voltage drop from the led/diodes. PPS. Solar cells are diodes to.

[@backofficeshow]

So much good stuff here 😁 Yes this was recorded a while ago. LEDs would be really interesting, especially if I can make a fake AC source with a really slow frequency! Showing how LEDs can be used to generate voltage would be really cool!

[@michaeltempsch5282]

Half wave rectifying with a LED might kill it fast - the reverse voltage LEDs can take is usally quite limited. In a bridge like this, the reverse voltage of the diodes is limited to the forward drop in the other 'branch', while in a half wave situation the diode has to take the full reverse voltage of the supply.
