Styropyro's MACROWAVE - Nuclear Engineer Reacts

[@isaacjeanneret3533]

The mental image of styropyro scaling a power pole like a little electrician goblin to get his gubbins is hilarious

[@snarkymoosesshack8793]

"Must get the ceramic precioussess from the tricksy linesmen, yes!"

Styropyro as an electronics loot goblin is not the mental image I expected going into this video, but here we are

[@zerumsum1640]

I'm picturing him exactly as he is in that shot of him from the macrowave's perspective (27:31) with the respirator on. Just pure goblin energy.

[@tomsmith6513]

I am horrified at not hearing him say, "kids, don't try this at home" at the end of the video. A microwave oven that uses more than 2400 watts and would blow the typical residential switchboard most likely requires large high-voltage components and equipment. It's the kind of thing that you would normally find in a power station or electrical engineering student's laboratory in a university. You don't want your kids handling this stuff. I am surprised he got his hands on 2 kilograms of metallic sodium at the age of 13. Was there any adult supervision there? Nice to know he survived, but this behaviour isn't recommended.

[@tomsmith6513]

@@zerumsum1640 I forgot it was called "the macrowave." It's actually still a microwave oven, just built to deliver more power. The "microwave" refers to the wavelength of the radiation delivered, not the power delivered by the device.

Sometimes I wonder how insane Styropyro seems to people who aren't familiar to his videos. Like, those of us who have been following him for years have the benefit of knowing that he actually does know what he's doing, so what would it be like if the macrowave was someone's first Styropyro video? Also, I hadn't really thought about it but yeah, microwave transformers probably cause more injury and death these days for electronics hobbyists than pulling flyback capacitors out of old TVs, given the availability of old microwaves with working transformers compared to old TVs with intact capacitors.

[@volcarona8401]

First time I've seen a video of his, albeit through someone else's reaction video, but the moment I saw the contraption with transformer and everything, the only real option was that he REALLY knows his stuff. There might be some bias due to me going to a vocational school with focus on electronics, but still. Besides, oddly enough, he does fit a stereotype(?) I have about people who experiment a lot, job or otherwise - that childlike glee and happiness about trying more stuff and different stuff and even crazier stuff.

[@manueliglesias179]

This is the first time I've seen his content, and my initial thoughts after seeing how he powered this macrowave contraption and how janky the whole thing looked was "Ok this guy is INSANE, but still alive, so he must know what he's doing."

Styropyro is one of the few people who can explain complicated topics in a way, that even toddlers can understand it. And a little side note: Tungsten is really good at shielding radiaton, but gold also is (and gold is actually sparely used for this purpose in the medical field)

[@DJ-DJOH]

Just gold plating, which is very thin, is a very good shield, often used in connectors for making them more conductive which is what they are usually advertised for but really helps with shielding from external interference as well. as the cables are often well shielded and the connectors are not.

Part of the inventory process was weighing the drapes on a regular basis...they were essentially chain-mail and it would be easy to clip off a link or two...

What amazed me was the number of nuclear and materials scientists in the comments explaining ways to make a more functional machine. That said, I would really like to see Alex's original vision for the project before the safety committee decided that he and Linus were going with lead sheeting and snips.

"Hey! That transformer belongs to the city!" *styropyro halfway up a telephone pole* "Chill buddy its a meme" 😂😂😂

[@HimitsuYami]

7:16 nah, he's crazy enough to say that's still a small one lol

[@BlazingDiancie]

I love how ever so slightly deranged Styro looks in some of his videos when he starts smiling. Its a slightly too-wide-eyed look that screams "I know fourty ways to kill you with the power of science and I dont even need to move to do so."

[@Helloiexistnow]

Haha microwave goes brrrr

Welding smoke might be the most noxious thing I’ve ever smelt. My brain instantly stopped me from breathing until I was out of the area.

[@RealMoukeycat]

15:49 he didn't put it in the crisping sleeve!!! It's ruined!!!

[@Someoneoninonet_mkmfpy]

Look at a new box of hot pockets it says why it doesn’t have the crisping sleeve 15:54

[@JoshuaPlays99]

Your reaction at 7:00 was hilarious, I knew you'd like this video when I watched it on his channel

[@DarenMiller-qj7bu]

Styro is getting some guns lol

[@JaredLucas]

Hey man. Just wanted to let you know that I like your work! I work for a company that supplies SSCs for local nuclear plants (CANDU). I so often find the videos you react to just before and still want to see your version haha. Keep being great!

[@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA]

I love these pyscho mad scentist guys these are the types you are supposed to marry lol

[@surmur]

1:45 about the flemmability... Styro's backyard (or some place) was full of dry leaves and he messed with lasers, lighting things up far. I still can't comprehent that...

[@Ghost-pb4ts]

You could tell 90% of the younger population that this 6:20 is an old CRT TV, and they would believe it. They might even think the dial on the right is used to change channels or frequency.

[@vinnysworkshop]

I can see how.

[@lovebug2618]

"Guess you can go the other direction with that" Dude just expanded the mind of a nuclear engineer.

[@LuciferAxolotl]

megatron...the decepticon?

[@LuciferAxolotl]

hes the modern nuclear boy scout

[@lukewilliams1188]

I love your videos, your reactions and your info. So glad to have such nice content 😂

[@zara_ara47]

I love watching your reactions, but I wish you'd wait longer to do them. When you react to a video so soon, you're taking away views from the original creator. If someone sees your reaction before the original video, they're not gonna go watch the original after. I don't think you're meaning to, but you're kinda taking views from the OC.

[@twopiece1587]

It's more like an ad for the original video/channel

[@andchi2000]

Styropyro is a total madlad. Love his videos.

[@thetalantonx]

I just watched this one last night, I've been excitedly waiting for you to hit this one since then. :D

[@Solunex]

The fact that you could sell these
