How Much Power Can a Gum Wrapper Handle?

[@amirreza6526gd]

Isn't it fake ? I mean I accept that it can handle a lot of current but not 40 amps thats a lot of current even the wire which was connected to alligator clips cant handle this amount of current Am I wrong reply!

[@ryanmickelwait1521]

The wires on the alligator clips are very thin and they are insulated. The insulation keeps heat from escaping.

[@HappySlappyFace]

@@ryanmickelwait1521 you realise the rubber on the wire will burn

[@jackbalmy1392]

Alternating current "flows" through wire way easier than direct current

[@Arsopu]

Not sure if this is a perfect example but, your car starter motor isn't exactly huge it has a reasonably thick cable to it and it will get hot in excess of 5 seconds on the key. Then your household AC runs all day on those itty bitty wires. But I do remember there was a difference for using 240v AC circuit breaker/fuse on a 12v DC system only reason I remember is because they're cheaper to buy and just allow the difference because I'm a tight ass... Anyway just waiting for the electrician to chime in with a proper explanation..... I'm gonna leave now....

[@vex6598]

They are good at science. Didn’t you know

[@erlendse]

By my estimate, 40A should be doable. No claims of the gum being good/cold afterwards. It failed on the aligator clips, probably due to it having connections on many(few) small points instead of the full width. You would need a different wider flat-ish clamp for higher current. I didn't expect it to be able to handle >10A of current before checking the video.

[@WarpedYT]

I thought about that too, originally I wanted to cover the whole area of each side of the gum wrapper, but in a practical situation this isn't how you would use it, so I figured the alligator clips covering 50% of each end was pretty realistic, I mean the foil of the gum wrapper at its widest point was getting very hot at 30 amps, I still can't believe I even did a video on this, I was literally blown away at how much amperage does a gum wrapper handled

[@erlendse]

@@WarpedYT True about simulating a hackjob, not connecting the full width. There is even the case of unrolling the foil and connecting it, with more surface area to cool it. It's also similar to traces on a PCB, just thin coper foil instead of aluminium the current goes in. The traces on a PCB is generally impressively flat.

NEVER replace fuses with a solid piece of wire or something that won’t pop when needed There’s a reason a fuse blows and if it repeatedly blows there’s a short somewhere in the circuit which could lead to a fire if it has continual power (since it won’t be able to pop like a fuse)

Slow-blow self resetting fuse. Cross-section estimate ~ 3.4mm^2 about the size of a 12 AWG wire. (using full width of wrapper) 0.003 in x 1.75 in = 0.00525 in^2 = 3.39 mm^2

Sometimes I would forget and leave the gum wrapper in there for a month or more and the only issue I had was that if I left the high beams on to long they would overheat and shut off. After watching this I’m surprised that I didn’t catch my truck on fire. 🥴

[@StudioDaVeed]

Yeah we all did that at sometime with barrel fuses...lol... Just wrap the wrapper around the fuse and press back in slot. I too forgot one once...it was about a month also....I think it was my stereo fuse so not a lot of current.

Do the math: I used the 7pcb website's trace width calculator. Quick online search indicates (from alibaba and such) that the thickness of aluminum in laminated gum wrappers is 5-7 microns. Converting to mils, 5 microns is around 0.2 mils. The dimensions of an opened gum wrapper are around 3 inches in length and 2 inches in width. From the calculator, we see that a 10A input with 0.2 mil trace thickness with ambient temperature 25 and temp rise of 10 with trace length of 3 requires 2000mil or 2 inches, so this gum wrapper in air can handle 10A no problem - consider the cross sectional area of mains carrying circuit boards!

[@WarpedYT]

Wow that's great information, the one variable though is you don't really know what type of aluminum they are using for the gum wrappers, some of those PCB materials are alloys of some sort to make them more conductive and heat resistant. Nonetheless that was awesome math!

[@mailboxesgalore]

@@WarpedYT Alibaba lists 8011 alloy, which is supposedly 98% pure aluminum (hopefully very pure since it's food grade, but we're not using Chinesium anyways). If you assume that you're dealing with aluminum alloy that has conductivity of 60% that of copper, making the trace thickness 0.2*0.6=0.12mils to compensate for increased material resistivity, you wind up with approximately 20C temperature rise in steady state conditions in air. If you consider the foil inside an insulator however as actual wires are, the rise could be much much higher and you'd probably run the risk of melting insulation, short circuiting, and burning something down (aka don't wrap the wrappers in used gum and expect them to be safe wires lol).
