I'm sure there was a nickle or tin plate on those clippers, and the green was likely copper, so yeah, probably not the best thing in the world for you gut, but not really poisonous. though maybe too often might resort in neurological damage from build up of metals. and more immediate would be digestive upset, like people who drink from pewter cups that include some copper in the pewter. Duct tape is vinyl however and should not be heated and consumed, and god knows what the adhesive is. All things considered, Brian has eaten glass and puts petroleum fuels in his mouth recreationally... so I feel like this is probably not the worst thing he's done to himself.

It's hard to find easy-to-read information on ingestion of hexavalent chromium because it's so rarely ingested orally versus being breathed in, but at very least ingesting it is linked to stomach ulcers. Additional effects of hexavalent chromium exposure (both respiratory and oral because there's some evidence that they share effects) include increased risk of cancer, damage to the heart and lungs (mostly from breathing it in), skin ulcers from getting it in wounds, "liver abnormalities," and a lot of other bad things.

[@garf2k4]

Having said that, the elements in kettles and stingers are made from nichrome ( nickle chrome ) and are perfectly safe so, like I've said in my comment, maybe the trick is to use the heat generated by the resistance of the metal itself rather than the resistance of the water. Could you not pass the current straight through the nail clippers in a complete circuit rather than have it have to jump through the water in an incomplete one, thus avoiding electrolysis all together? As I suggested, you could use nichrome wire to the same ends... Either that or isn't there a stainless steel high resistance wire you could use instead?

I think the music when they added the salt helped alot

[@blasteur9546]

Okay so first, this show is reminding me of a show called "Don't do this at home" and they litteraly did what we always wanted to do. And I think this deserve a whole arc on this channel. 2nd, I think Jason has some serious style with his vest and all. that's it, love you people

[@NyxEternal]

The US just has very low voltage, hence why almost everywhere in Europe has electric kettles (a resistive element in a kettle to heat the water) but they're not really used in the US bc they take way too long to heat up

[@cupcakemenace2036]

We have electric kettles too and they tend to be quite fast like 5 minutes compared to boiling water on the stove which is like 10-15 minutes

[@Supertimegamingify]

@@cupcakemenace2036 5 minutes isn't _that_ fast, but there are definitely electric kettles in America.

[@NyxEternal]

@@cupcakemenace2036 it is still quite a bit slower than if used at the higher voltage over the pond, and I've encountered a lot of people who just don't own one and don't want to own one where as here at least (Ireland) a kettle and a two slot toaster are in any kitchen or kitchenette

[@cupcakemenace2036]

@@NyxEternal Mhm thats interesting but America does have pretty bad electricity safety measures when compared to other countries as far as electro boom has taught me lol so maybe that's why we have a lower current.

[@cupcakemenace2036]

@@Supertimegamingify its fast enough for me considering my gas stove when using the rapid boil setting has taken upwards of 20 minutes for a full pot of water. I've never seen anything faster here in the US besides maybe boiling a couple cups of water in the microwave.

[@pugz3230]

The heat isn't for the resistance, it's from the hydrolysis mentioned in the video. The popsicle stick does nothing but force the electricity to go through the water. Also, when there is salt in water that has electricity going through it, it reacts to form sodium lye. The chlorine in the salt has to go somewhere, so it probably forms _hydrogen chloride._ When you saw "steam" at around 100 degrees, you probably actually saw hydrogen chloride reacting with the water in the air to create _hydrochloric acid._

I'm actually worried about Brian's eating habits....

[@benghist1451]

To be fair I watched this man eat a lightbulb...

[@grayeaglej]

He eats Fire, Lightbulbs, and shoves Nails up his nose. His "eating habbits" are probably more than a "concern". O.o

[@jek__]

eating fire and nails and glass is reasonably safe and he explains why. They're magic acts because they seem dangerous, but really aren't. Drinking toxic heavy metal residue is way way way more dangerous than all of his magic acts combined. He's being stupid because he doesn't understand the risks he's taking, I think he might be more worried after reading this comment section than he was during filming

[@IceDragon978]

Probably worth revisiting with a double-boil type of setup. Place your wire in a pot of water and place another, smaller pot of water inside that. Boil the outer water with electricity and heat the inner water and ramen through contact.

[@ethanpodmore]

Just wanna say that this is an awful way to cook food, not in that you can get electrocuted but because it literally changes the chemistry of your food.

[@SolarShado]

To be fair, heat alone does that too (that's kinda why baking works at all), though admittedly to a lesser extent.

[@Metalhammer1993]

yeah I mean Ramen already are alkaline as fuck but cooking them in chlorine and lye (cause that's what you're turning your salt into) not smart plus a (not so) healthy mix of various metal oxides or hydroxides. yeah this was beyond idiotic

[@overestimatedforesight]

Electrolyzing water (which is 100% what you guys were doing here) can be a bit dangerous. It releases hydrogen and oxygen gas initially which is bad enough, but if you electrolyze salt water, the salt can break apart into sodium and chlorine gas. Plus whatever was being produced from the other impurities in the ramen packet, lol. I wouldn't have wanted to even be near that ramen, let alone eating it. Great video!

[@necrobynerton7384]

i was just about to comment this, though, would DC voltage be more efficient than AC for electrolysis?

[@orion1926]

when brians family finds him unresponsive they can just show the doctors this video

[@kratosrenascitur7652]

That face Jason makes when he realizes Brian is actually considering eating the ramen gets me every time.

[@Jimanator]

what you're doing is called an electrode boiler.

[@Reddotzebra]

Except most people use electrodes made from some material that does not output large amounts of heavy metals to the water when you use them.

[@Jimanator]

@@Reddotzebra yeah most common is a carbon rod

You guys are great! I love the dynamic. Still waiting on that playing card shot gun you guys promised two years ago though.....

[@Gkitchens1]

You'd want to use stainless steel as the "dangly bits" instead of chime plated steel. You could also make a clip around a carbon ring carbon like found in radios. I user to work in corrections. You will never see anyone more innovative than a convict in the joint. Speakers made of paper, power strip made out of cardboard and razorblades, beautiful paintings made of coffee like paintings worth real money in terms of quality. Saw someone build a makeshift fan once. Incredible stuff.

I'd suggest keeping one hand either in your pocket or behind your back when working with electronics, as to not create a bridge across your chest for electricity to travel through. There's a reason those male-to-male cables are called death cables or suicide cables. A physics teacher in highschool had one in class for demonstration purposes (voltage transformers mainly, I believe). That thing scared me. It was fun though. Great teacher, that guy. Always had these interesting tangents about all sorts of things.

[@PyroX792]

For anyone interested you can make a stinger like this that won't oxidize you just got to pick better source that nail clippers for your electrodes. I've seen it done with stainless steel shower drain covers. They will resist oxidation way better.

[@cycloculus3867]

I would watch out trying this... when using high voltage, the high voltage can change the chemistry of your food(depending on the food you do it to) it can also change the chemistry of the water...You can try this by taking a variable voltage instrument and plugging both leads into a hot dog(which I highly recommend that you don’t try at home!!) On either end of the hot dog you may see a green and orange liquid leaking out of it ( depending on what hotdog brand type you use and also what voltage you use ) WARNING: if you try this do not eat the hotdog!! The cells/chemicals in it are now different then before and may kill you!!! I have seen it happen in a video on the channel ElectroBoom. Go see for yourself.
