I used to stick butter knives in toasters all the time as a kid, because, if I pressed the toaster's filament with the side of a knife, it'd turn from red back to black. And then when taken off it slowly heats up again. It was just amusing. Best part is? Butter knives don't have plastic handles. I was using a solid metal knife to prod inside a toaster. Purposefully touching the filament. While myself being definitely grounded. *DOZENS OF TIMES* ! Fun!

[@ohhilol...]

exploding alarm clock when??

[@giga-chicken]

The toaster thing actually is significantly more dangerous with an older toaster. New toasters have grounded plugs and casings, but if you have an older one it was pretty common to get them with a non-polarized plug and no grounding. For such a toaster there is a 50/50 chance (depending on which way the plug is plugged in) that the heating element is live all the time even with the toaster turned off.

The very first "welding machines" were exactly this: just a tank of brine/salty water to limit current. This was however, over a century ago, before covered electrodes were being sold commercially and a vital part of a "welder's toolkit" was a peening hammer, to knock shut the porosities/bubbles which occur in unshielded weld beads.

[@stabileseitenlage]

You probably meant over a decade not a century, but reading that really threw me off.

Why not use a heating element (or several heating elements in parallel) for welding? Brine risks an explosion from the generation of hydrogen and oxygen near the sparks.

[@DeluxeSlayer]

The bubbles forming from the electrodes is actually mostly hydrogen which is even worse considering you're generating sparks right next to a highly flammable gas. Some chlorine does form but at a much slower rate and a part of it usually ends up making a layer on top of the water because of how heavy of a gas it is.

[@tywaun6]

Was looking for this before I posted it except for the chlorine density bit. Forgot about that

[@mikoajp.5890]

Dude, they are literally stoichiometric. One forms on the anode, the other one on the cathode.

[@DeluxeSlayer]

@@mikoajp.5890 Although they technically are stoichiometric, the amount of chlorine gas actually formed and released isn't what the basic equation says. First of all, the bubbles you're seeing form in this video are basically oxygen and chlorine on the cathode and hydrogen on the anode which come from the dissocation of water and NaCl. Try it yourself with two seperated cells linked up by a salt bridge, you'll see that there are almost no bubbles of chlorine forming on the cathode side in comparison to the hydrogen ones on the anode side. You'll also see that the hydrogen bubbles are smaller and have a constant rapid flow meanwhile the chlorine bubbles are slightly bigger and tend to stick to the cathode instead of bubbling right out which in turn means that the concentration of chlorine in the air is less than the one of hydrogen. Either way, most of the chlorine immediately reacts with the sodium to form sodium hypochlorite aka bleach. It will also react with your electrode if it's made out of a metal. This is why the simple equation doesn't tell us what actually happens in real life.

[@UberAlphaSirus]

@@DeluxeSlayer Are they not technically catanodes as it's AC ;P

[@suspense_comix3237]

Well the spark is very far away from the gas so it’d take a long time to explode the hydrogen gas.

[@tlange5091]

About the saltwater welding: AvE did a test of I forgot what it was, where he used a bucket of saltwater to adjust the current that flows through the setup. The deeper the electrode is in the water, the more surface area and apparently more amps. Maybe you can also have a little fun with this idea. Great video as usual, thanks!

[@eideticex]

The concept is called a variac, the specific implementation is jokingly called the scariac. TKOR used one built by Grant to power a lot of their high energy projects. Pretty sure the original was an old Popular Mechanics DIY project. It's not about amount of surface area, it's simply the closer you bring the contacts, the more energy they can conduct. Can adjust the electrolyte to adjust the variability of the device.

[@carpdog42]

@@eideticex Variac is actually an old trademark and really refers to a "variable reactance" and specifically a variable autotransformer. This is just a variable resistor made of salt water. In many applications, the distinction doesn't matter that much. Nothing particularly new or dangerous...as long as you don't do something crazy like throw it together with exacto knives sitting loose in a glass of salt water.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Somehow... I feel like somebody should let Medhi know that he was electrolysizing water... into Hydrogen and Oxygen... in a completely uncontrolled setting... In an enclosed space (hopefully with decent ventilation) and then showering the room with sparks and at least a very small amount of open flame and serious heat... The reason we use DC for Electrolysis Devices is to control which side produces the oxygen and which side produces the Hydrogen... AND to keep the two separate TO AVOID EXPLOSIONS... at least, until we're ready and actually want explosions... BUT the point is, ANY TIME you bombard water with electricity, you split it into Hydrogen and Oxygen... If you do so with AC current, you're just bubbling up the gases every which way and completely uncontrolled... He's pretty lucky he wasn't playing with it much longer... It could've been bad. ...and maybe he knows, and it was a joke when he sniffed, "It's probably just chlorine... yeah..." BUT it's hard to say exactly... ;o)

[@Lampe2020]

You can even just electrolyse water, so you'll have the perfect stoichiometric proportion of H2 to O2. Seems doable.

Here they put the cables of the "machine" in the main breaker of house or even before it in the city power line, it's dangerous as F but, in a emergency, it works.

[@FishFind3000]

It looks like medhis issue was he shortened the two rods together and therefore didn’t get the voltage drop needed. Stick welding is in the 24-28v range

[@M4RC90]

@@FishFind3000 He did not short them at first, or else there would have been no bubbling in the water. When he shorted them the breaker popped. Since there is no transformer involved (or electronic inverter), there is only the voltage drop through the salt water, but the current stays the same. You are limited to the amount of current the outlet can deliver, which is not a lot, compared to what you need for proper welding (hundreds of amps at low voltage). The electrodes are live at mains voltages, electrolysing salt water releases toxic chlorine gas. There is also no way of controlling how much current or voltage you're actually using. All in all a very stupid and dangerous setup, waiting for an accident to happen.
