Steel Chain VS Electrical Current

[@Photonicinduction]

Kindest regards to all of you!

[@harkostroef]

have em back aswell!

[@danielw2139]

And you mate. Thanks for another video :)

[@RWGresearch]

nice smoke ring at 6:00. :) good fun!

[@insu_na]

You should re-name your channel to: "How to die (if you're not me)". Was really interesting to see tho!

[@2ShotsDown]

awesome video, keep them comming, side note how did that not electrocute you when it hit your leg

[@bigclivedotcom]

I bet that somewhere a chain has borne full industrial fault current like that for real. I tried running low voltage DC power down chains when I was younger and they really do make a shit connection due to all the metal to metal connections and surface oxidation. A TIG welder might have had the advantage of the high open circuit voltage breaking the oxides down.

[@Photonicinduction]

Hello mate, lol, I used to play with fairy lights when I was younger, in the end brute force always does it :)

[@shelvacu]

God, I'm afraid every video that it's going to be your last.

[@cezarcatalin1406]

this is why is so interesting...

[@MrMistery101]

You have it wrong. There's nothing really over the top dangerous here. What is really interesting, is this man has managed to fry a fucking chain. A chain. Not a piece of wire or cheap chinese multimeter. A mechanical device for restraint has been popped. That is definitely interesting.

[@leexgx]

it's mostly lower voltage so looks more dangerous then it is (at best he set his shoe, pants or carpet on fire)

[@amaulana090]

+lee x Then again, the metal could have burnt straight through his skin.

[@shelvacu]

I'm referring to all of his videos, including this one. Setting his carpet on fire is *very bad* and could lead to death, although most likely just severe burns and no more house. But in past videos he has dealt with much much higher voltages to make things that he expects to heat up, all on his CARPTED FLOOR. His equipment can do plenty enough amps to kill him easily, one trip or misstep and he is literally dead. Most of the time there are breakers to prevent Bad Things from happening, but in this case he explicitly wants the Bad Things to happen (just to the device, and not to him). I like to think that it's all trickery to make us think its really unsafe to make his videos more interesting but really he's in the middle of a barren field with a remote cutoff switch in his pocket as well as a helper standing ready at a physical cutoff switch, and with fire extinguishers available and with the main actor actually edited in via green screen effects and well, I'd like to think so. Probably not, though.

What

[@Radovan787]

Do untill it pops: ceiling fan. With the regular fan blades on it. Or a regular fan over volted untill it pops. It should look fun

[@wyokaiju992]

Except all it'll do is smoke. You need higher frequency to overspeed commutatorless motors.

[@Radovan787]

The Rambling engineer. ok

[@ivanrodionov9724]

how high a frequency?

[@Radovan787]

i wonder.

[@MrRootbrian]

*THAT* is what I wanna see!!

[@EMAXXMASTER]

fuck that soldering iron is huge. good god.

[@Mike-zl4zs]

Its not real soldering until the iron is as big as your arm. Regular soldering irons are for peasants. I use an iron just like that for my computer motherboard soldering.

[@EMAXXMASTER]

Mike44449 for the cpu socket exclusively right?

[@cezarcatalin1406]

not bigger than ryzen

[@xjet]

LOL. BTW: If that chain was galvanised then you need to be careful of the zinc fumes that are emitted when it's heated red-hot. They can make you feel really sick -- Google it. At least you didn't get a chain reaction eh? ;-)

[@MarkRose1337]

Not to mention the x-rays from the sparking.

[@JustinKoenigSilica]

COLLAB WHEN?

[@pklongutoobe]

Naa never happen. Photon would have to take the Dartford crossing and he's popped his passport.

[@theinfoone]

how? he doesn't build anything, all this guy does is burn/destroy stuff

[@KrazeeCain]

He "overclocked" that mobility scooter, and also built that power control console. But yeah, fair point I guess. What I meant is that both engage in very dangerous stunts, but that's a rather broad category on it's own...

[@theinfoone]

+Suhkma Dheek let's just leave what you said at "I don't know anything about how electricity works"

[@cubbiotti1980]

I love how you almost never wear gloves. Shows that you are very knowledgeable about limits of electricity. I love your videos keep them coming.

[@strawberryjam3670]

I wanna know how your monthly electronic bill looks like ...

[@boxadmiral]

Over 9000

[@themasterofdisaster1]

50 A * 30 V is about 1500 Watts (+the conversion loss) Two cheap hair dryer would pull more power out of the wall then this project... So his bills should be quite normal...

[@NebukadV]

Why? This thing takes about 5kW (100V@50A) for example. If he runs this for like 10 minutes it will cost him about 25-30 cents / pennys. If you for example take a shower with electric heating or you cook something, that will easily cost you a lot more. Just because it something special here doesn't mean it's gonna chew some megawatts or something.

[@VAX1970]

He runs the meter in reverse for a while to compensate

[@Ar-ee4vr]

His monthly eletrical bill is a samall loan of a million dollars

[@taxin9rex368]

The sparks and lighting of that chain was DAPPER :)

[@Tenus123]

I wonder how many watts that soldering iron consumes.

[@MrDubje]

Had one of those, not exactly but close to it, mine was 125 Watt. Seeing this one, I guess it's more like a 175 or 200 Watt iron.

[@aliengoboom]

That is dangerous 😂

[@dangerousdan4184]

I have a hunch he got the idea for this one from his "20,000 watt light bulb test" a few videos back, in which he referred to the filament as 'garage door springs'. Also in that video, he explained and demonstrated how the resistance of the filament increased as it warmed up, so I believe he is fully aware of that.

[@JacobLong89]

Recently got hooked on your videos. Keep it up man, awesome stuff!

[@travisheck5979]

I wonder why some parts of the chain didn't get hot

[@Frankfurtdabezzzt]

low resistance I guess

[@VictorIndiaDeltaAlfa]

Probably because of difference in conductivity. There are many different materials on this chain; from zinc coating and steel to everything they turn into at 800°C or more.

[@andrewlorona7360]

The parts that don't glow are chain links that welded together and have a low resistance, so they dissipate a lot less power (ohmic heating). Also the hot parts are a little thinner because they oxidize faster.

[@lenny-q8e]

i really enjoy the style of your vids lately keep it up

[@JoshuaNicoll]

Now that's fucking soldering, but you'd have been better off with a pot of molten solder and dunking it in, that's how I join large cables easily, although you'd wanna do at least 50 at a time as not to waste power.

[@JoshuaNicoll]

Yeah, I thought of that too, but you need special flux for oven flame soldering, or just left the work piece get nice and hot. He doesn't waste that much energy, it's for entertainment, but melting 2Kg of tin/lead would be a massive waste.

[@bicylindrico]

So instead of waiting for dark and doing it outside you do it in your basement. Your a real smart one.

[@Photonicinduction]

[@ShaunDYST]

A question for someone who might know, the chain loses it's looseness and becomes very rigid looking when power is applied. Is this because at a microscopic or subatomic level the molecules are basically doing the same thing a person does when tased by a taser and locking up?

[@gnomerebel]

Are you asking a question or telling us that's why? Sorry I'm confused by your statement?
