    Also, yes, Jon, thats exactly how those metal heaters work. Pass loads of current through a high resistance wire (either a small one or specific materials) and they get hot. Your every day power cables are made of copper which conducts electricity exceptionally well, and so it doesn't heat up.

    • @arttuniska9074

    toasters use latching transformer coils! i actually took one apart to make an electric guitar with.
    Hz on electricity is the frequency of the alternating current.
    edit: those are diodes, transistors have 3 prongs, you put signal in one end, and power through the middle, and then pixie magic happens and amplified signal comes out the other end.
    edit 2: yes it is because the wires are slim, electrical resistance turns the electrical energy into heat, the thicker the wire is, the more electricity can flow through it without it heating up, but higher voltages means more electrical force, which can pass electricity through more resistive things, and more amps means more electricity, which can heat up thicker wires, that's how fuses work, higher value fuses have thicker wires in them. "special metals" include copper and gold, which have low electrical resistance.

      Well the special metal in the case of a toaster or a hair dryer would be nichrome which has a high resistance for the purposes of heating stuff up.

    PSU- Power Supply Unit
    Watts- Joules per second
    the wires in toasters and hairdryers have high resistance wires which heat up when current is applied, and yes all wires heat up a bit when electricity passes through.
    Hertz in reference to electricity is how fast the charge changes in AC currents i think it's 50-60Hz most of the time in home applications.

  • @sorrow4374
    @sorrow4374 7 років тому

    Yes, Jon! It is indeed a special metal for heating. Normal wire is made from copper. It is chosen for wire because it carries electricity better (less heat being made, a.k.a. heat loss, etc) than most other metals. The metal many heating elements (e.g. in toasters) use is called nichrome. It is a mix of the metals nickel, chromium, and usually some iron. To personify metal a bit, imagine:
    Copper is the friendly neighbour. They share food, invite neighbours to parties, and let you pat their dog. They are easy to get along with and so the relationship is warm and comfortable. This is how electricity flows through copper wire.
    Nichrome is that one neighbour we like to bitch about. They hate everybody, leave dog poop on your front lawn, and yell at you for breathing. Your relationship with them is full of resistance and heat, because you want nothing to do with them but are forced together. This is how electricity flows through nichrome.

  • @guillet.8962
    @guillet.8962 7 років тому +6

    Metals heat up with electricity because of friction. Resistance is a property of mass which determines how easily electricity can go through it. Wood and plastic, for example, have super high resistance. Metals, in comparison, have lower resistance. The resistance of metals can vary, and with higher resistance, more friction and therefore more heat. Many metals with high resistance are used on heating devices.

    • @sakesaurus
      @sakesaurus 7 років тому

      Have a slight correction
      Friction technically is defined as the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal (e.g. microscopic kietic energy). Now, why the heck would resistance be caused by friction if we had current, microscopic motion, in the first place? it doesn't work like that

    • @guillet.8962
      @guillet.8962 7 років тому +1

      I did not say resistance is caused by friction. Rather, friction happens because there is resistance.

    • @callansammets3516
      @callansammets3516 7 років тому +1

      Friction does not happen in a resistor, what happens is electrons being forced into excitation and bleeding off the energy as heat by the release of photons. Resistance is based on the amount of freely available electrons in the material which is why it varies with temperature. Friction on a resistor means something has gone very wrong since it would need to physically be rubbing against something (and this would only influence the resistance through temperature and nothing else).

  • @trexlord1
    @trexlord1 7 років тому

    I'm an apprentice electrician here Jon. Electricity at it's simplest (or is it at it's most complex?) electrons (energy) moving, but some if it is lost as waste. When electricity passes through something more resistant the electrons have to fight harder to move through the material, and the more energy is lost as waste. By putting the electricity through resistors it turns as much of the electric energy as it can into heat.

  • @andressagredo1509

    It's resistance/resistive wire. It's designed to glow red hot when current passes through it without burning. Usually has a ceramic surround which acts as a heat sink and stops the plastic parts melting.

    Best and most painful evidience that Jon is a UA-camr ( thank God) and not an engineer or a particularly adept handyman ( again, thank God also the Fire Dept probably appreciates it also) 😂😂😂

    According to AvE electricity makes metal hot because of the angry pixies that come out of the angry pixie physical containment device. They also make power tools go chooch.

    I've actually been writing my dissertation on the magic that the Toaster was. I say was, because you have filled the a large amount of the information void that has plagued Toaster Research for nearly one hundred and twenty five years. The biggest issue was overcoming the desire to make toast every time we would go to open to the magic that the toaster was. You however, have overcome this, and even defeated the mighty safety key that claimed Simmons just last week. There are still many mysteries, like the spring, but you have done grand work. My only question is, how would you like me to cite your work in my paper?

    Materials have a resistance to electricity traveling through them. If the amount of electricity exceeds the resistance then the excess energy becomes heat. All materials, barring super conductors, have some resistance so they will generate some heat from electricity. Heating elements just get fed more voltage so they are made from a material that can handle high temperatures. The rubber insulation is just there to prevent accidental electrical shorts and electrocutions.
    Opening up a computer casing like that lets in a ton of dust. It also messes up the intended airflow. Instead of being moved along a route it just goes by the fan and doesn't have time to actually pick up much heat. The bit about touching a radiator before touching the internals of a computer is to discharge static onto the radiator and not the sensitive electronics. Any bit of metal will work for this.

    If only I had this game as a kid, the money spent on repairing and replacing everything I took a screwdriver to would've been better spent. Please tell me that they have a multi-tine clockwork music box. That was one of the greatest adventures in disassembly I'd ever had.

    The hertz rating is because it's an alternating current (AC) coming from the mains electricity Jon, as opposed to the Direct Current (DC) you would find coming out of a battery for instance. Alternating current changes direction. In the U.K. (Can't speak for other areas) the rate at which the current changes direction is around 50 times per second, hence the 50Hz rating
