Until it Pops - 2 Bar Electric Fire

2 Bar Electric Fire gets cranked up "until it pops"
It's rated at 1600 watts, guess how many watts it takes before it pops?

Your equipment is impressive but I have two questions. How much is your electric bill and how have you not burned your house down? ;-)

[@userPrehistoricman]

Great to see we still get the old electric bill questions. This channel never changes :')

[@OriginalKickthepope]

grab an IR thermometer so you can see HOW hot it actually gets, that could be fun

[@DouglasWalrath]

For a 1600W heater to take 8000W without a fan, I'm impressed! I don't think I've ever seen anything durable enough to take 480v at 15A.

[@RobR386]

probably being outside in the wind helped it take that kind of power before it started to arc.

[@MrLince-hr4of]

@@RobR386 sure a little

[@MichaelOfRohan]

You know, i was thinking.. they call the 1000w "bars" but we dont really do bars here. Maybe ours are just designed to fail?

[@matttysonx]

@OnlyRocknRoll and now he is back again ^^

[@smeezekitty]

I'm surprised how close it is to a purely resistive load it is. I calculated the effective resistance with R = V^2/P for various points during the video from 240V to 500V and it came out to be 33 ohms +/- 1.5 the whole time until it started to fail

[@aajjeee]

smeezekitty its basically a large resisting wire

[@smeezekitty]

True. But usually there is a resistive temperature coefficient i.e. the hotter it gets, the higher the resistances goes

[@mikesmechanical1102]

not too sure but is it because of the massive spaces between winds and also large bars acting as heatsinks?

You doing this with one of these death traps is significantly safer than how they were often used in bed sitting rooms and children's bedrooms in the 60s and 70s.
