Ahh, You know you are in a good crowd when you bust a perfectly operational £5 iron and nobody gives a fuck, nobody bangs on about sending it to another county for them to use, nobody is complaining about the carbon emission from the energy used for the experiment, Gentlemen, I'm proud of you!
M888 Y U DESTROY DIS PERFCLY GOD IRON I BET THOSE IN AFRICA COULD HAVE HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD IRON!!! AND I BET THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING. SHAME ON YOU!!!! Stay strong Photon ;)
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm still excited to see what further destruction the ultra big-daddy power supply is capable of. With a few "appetizers" out of the way now, I can bet the main course is going to be pretty fucking awesome! Cheers everyone.... -aphex
Every time a video gets uploaded I get a little notification on my phone and I'm like a kid at Christmas. No matter what I'm doing home or work that video takes priority. Thank you
Every time I see your comments, I feel I want to make a video all about you mate, in particular how nice your experiments are and a pleasant chap, proper family man, all the best mate.
***** Thanks Andy for your kind comment. Yes I do have to mix family, work and experiments in the little bit of spare time I have between "play time" and taxi service for the kids, helping with homework and being a Volunteer Firefighter as well, serving our local community. You keep that beautiful variac energized for your brilliant overvolting burn outs.
***** From what I see on these busted networks not many larger youtubers share the love by enjoying other youtubers videos, so often large youtubers stop being part of the audience. For me it's easy to hit the like and make sure my audience knows about you, possibly my greatest service to you. And if you think back it was Aussie50 who made me have a good look over your channel. I just love the mad electrical scientist in the living room look you have now, part sci-fi, part mythbusters, part neighbour from hell with the dry humour assistant, and most important very educational..basically don't play with electricity unless you really understand your boogie. It's pure youtube GOLD. Somewhere In England is the other part of my lost family when it was split by a move to Australia generations ago, so If I'm lucky I may be related to you, stranger things have happened. Mind you I have a hunch my roots come from the Yourkshire area due to the family Sunday meal which has been handed down through the generations. Some things never change :)
Watt-now, that you've de-creased the value of that iron? You are clearly de-pleat-ing the world of the chemical element-s used for such appliances but I suspect that, if pressed, you could give it a glowing review. Did you see what I did there? :-/ D Maybe you should have filled it with water to add some steam to the "pop" ;-)
***** I know, but one would think at least flammable plastics would be banned for use with anything that produces heat, but then again the iron was made in China so go figure.
+Squishy Potatoe It is, except I bet on that plastic not being heat proof at all and literally cracking and falling apart just from use alone (I've seen that happen to kettles).
+jmcinvale It would make manufacturing MUCH trickier and all the resulting products MUCH more expensive. Thermosets (thermosetting plastics) can't be extruded, arbitrarily shaped nor reused among others (pretty much only molded). This greatly limits their applicability
+Squishy Potatoe True, but for some reason some of the plastics are crappy enough to crack and literally peel/fall apart even when their melting temperature is not reached at all.
+CoolKoon I'd rather have that versus appliances that get hot made out of flammable plastic that could burn my house down should the safety features fail. The simple way is to use metal like was done many years ago. Plastics are used only because they are cheaper to make.
holy cow! in the beginning, I've never seen your face like that, wow, 2kw it was already overloaded, but great demonstration there mate, seeing how much power things could take is fun to do and watch, cheers mate;D
I watched your coconut explosion many times on Discovery's "you have been warned." Since then i am enjoying your all videos.......... keep it up buddy.
I remember those programmes back in the 1980's that warned us not to leave steam irons switched on while stood up, some would do what yours did in the video. Great vid.
Props on the second power meter. I was giddy on the 10 second tea pot watching the power creep up. I saw an earlier comment that I agree with. It's time to get the HV transformer in and cause some mayhem. Love your vids man. Keep it up.
Good to see you trooping on Mr Photon. As always, love your videos. Ya inspired me to bridge over to HNC Leccy Engineering and loving it! Finished my AC-DC Principles the day XD. Anyhoo fella, keep em coming ;)
Hey photon. Great to see another vid from you. That iron really popped early. Only a small part of the fillament heated the case to red. Then it all combusted. Neither safe, nor made with quality in mind. Good old Punisher power supply came to serve justice, we all saw flames and a real quality test to the pop. Scientists too scared to test to the pop or they have to pay for the product. Always fun to watch you play with these little devices. I check every day for a video, I don't trust the youtube news thing, it never works. I love how old school you are. It feels like we're together in the room, doing the usual silly stuff people did before youtube. Though something you should check is if you can iron a shirt with high voltage. Corona wind might do us a favour :P
Love the video as always, Andy - thanks for finding the time to put it together for the benefit of all mankind. I wonder how quick a George Foreman grill could cook my dinner if it was hooked up to your supply... Fortunately I like my chicken extra crispy! Andy.
This does raise serious questions about why manufactures are allowed to make things with heating elements in close proximity to combustible plastics. All things like this should be of metal construction and well Earthed.
It's a very odd iron, it has a smoke button but no steam. Perhaps it was made for that new line of fashion wear "Smoke Damage by chimney" the smoke button gives flames when the iron is over volted. The Smoke Damage range of fashion attire make for the perfect accompaniment to the new fragrance, "Chernobyl by Pripyat" Acid wash went out decades ago!
Thats the teflon coating burning off. You would make a brilliant physics teacher, the kids would love you. Sadly your headmaster would fire you for breaching H + S regs and the pupils would be that pissed off theyd stage a walkout. Keep going!
The plastic on that iron burned for quite a long time. I wonder if it actually passed safety regulations regarding that, or if the one they tested was from a sample batch.
you should send it back to sainsburys, it will come to the depot in corby for inspection and review, pitty i didnt get the job with them as electrical returns engineer
Hi photon great video as always I always look forward to your videos I want to see you put a CRT TV through your beast power supply please keep more coming
GO PHOTON! That Iron sure has been heated to the max! Bloody thing didn't even steam at 1200! One flick of the lever and you can safely say "I popped it!" XD
Was there water in that iron? It didn't look like it; I think a second test might be in order. Possibly sealing the iron as a pressure vessel for maximum fun!
Now if someone would be capable of arranging the donation of a Sybian for Photon to modify, and direct it's evaluation, he'd finally have that BAFTA Award he's deserved for all-too-long!!
Hey ***** in your older episodes you used to cover briefly what safety precautions you were taking... Would you be able to include more of that? Helps people understand you're a professional and know what you're doing. :)
Why not take it back to Sainsburys under guarantee (hidden camera of course!!) Tell them it's faulty. Would love to see there faces. Only problem is you did use it outside!! so out side of guarantee terms. Probably best not to mention the 400+ volts however.
Ahh, You know you are in a good crowd when you bust a perfectly operational £5 iron and nobody gives a fuck, nobody bangs on about sending it to another county for them to use, nobody is complaining about the carbon emission from the energy used for the experiment, Gentlemen, I'm proud of you!
ur one of my fucking fav youtuber's im so glad to see you back around again.
M888 Y U DESTROY DIS PERFCLY GOD IRON
I BET THOSE IN AFRICA COULD HAVE HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD IRON!!!
AND I BET THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING.
SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Stay strong Photon ;)

Ur new intro is awesome!! Haha photonicinduction :)
Haha, I love the face you make at the start of the vid, you look like a kid that got told he couldn't have candy
That's the best thing that could happen to an iron.
Hope you are all well, as best regards to you.
Thanks for the video Andy, Hope your ok squire!
Great video as always Andy
Keep 'er lit man, thanks for the high voltage entertainment!
Hvdragonproduction Safety!
loving your work as always, but just out of interest, what are you doing to off set your carbon footprint?
When the iron was beginning to open, it looks like a lowering drawbridge to hell.
Every time a video gets uploaded I get a little notification on my phone and I'm like a kid at Christmas. No matter what I'm doing home or work that video takes priority.
Thank you
Bless, lol priority, its not that urgent is it?
Yeah, def. I ain't going to wait I want to see thing pop haha.
Look forward to the next one
I know dem feels. These videos keep me in balance. They basically turn me into a zen-like master.
Brilliant !! 2.2 kW iron melt down. keep those video's coming mate.
Every time I see your comments, I feel I want to make a video all about you mate, in particular how nice your experiments are and a pleasant chap, proper family man, all the best mate.

You need to test an electric shaver next. We made breakfast, we ironed our shirt now it's time to shave!
***** The shaver will probably eat your face and the toothbrush will knock all your teeth out so you never have to brush and shave again!
I think it will change it's tone when I give one 400hz
I keep hearing the neighbors say, "do you smell insulation burning", and the other neighbor said," yes, but I think it's worse than that!!! thanks mk
thank god for "in the name of science" for the best stuff on youtube
lol the more stick
Thanks for your kind compliments mate, you have an excellent channel and content yourself,
Cheers from me!

Very good, It would have taken me a year to think up that much pun :)
oh the iron-y...
Paul Hancock
Stop _steel_ ing from me!
THIS IS SO PUN!
You guys are being so IRONic...these posts are just searing with puns.
+Photonicinduction one year later....
Thanks for taking the time to do another video, fab to see you blowing things up again :)
Excellent video.
What I don't understand is why plastic especially flammable plastic is used by manufacturers anywhere near anything that gets hot.
***** I know, but one would think at least flammable plastics would be banned for use with anything that produces heat, but then again the iron was made in China so go figure.

Looks like the manufacturer has a few weak spots to
*puts on sunglasses*
.. iron out. YYEEAAAAAHHHHH
***** get out
+Ben Landvatter
lol good one
holy cow! in the beginning, I've never seen your face like that, wow, 2kw it was already overloaded, but great demonstration there mate, seeing how much power things could take is fun to do and watch, cheers mate;D
this is the easyway to open your iron for inspection!!
thanx photoninduction!!
I watched your coconut explosion many times on Discovery's "you have been warned."
Since then i am enjoying your all videos.......... keep it up buddy.
I think you may have voided the warranty ;-)
I remember those programmes back in the 1980's that warned us not to leave steam irons switched on while stood up, some would do what yours did in the video. Great vid.
wow
I don't have a huge power supply, but I tried this anyway. Now my shirts look great. Thanks Photon!
3:47 Jaw dropped
I dont know why but the calm "oh dear" after it burst into flames just cracks me up
Love the video Photon!!!! You are loved as ever! Keep em comming!!
Props on the second power meter. I was giddy on the 10 second tea pot watching the power creep up. I saw an earlier comment that I agree with. It's time to get the HV transformer in and cause some mayhem. Love your vids man. Keep it up.
Lovely! Always enjoy your vids, Glad to see you are posting more often.
I'm loving these "product testing" videos. :D
Now do a video of taking it back to the store with the receipt asking for another because this one is no good.
Smoke , sparks , flames , KA-BOOM oh my you two took this to a whole new level , LOL (lots of love) great!! video.
Good to see you trooping on Mr Photon. As always, love your videos. Ya inspired me to bridge over to HNC Leccy Engineering and loving it! Finished my AC-DC Principles the day XD. Anyhoo fella, keep em coming ;)
someone get a petition for this guy to come back.
i want to see product testing.. photonic induction style.
Wow not what I expected!
Surprising amount of just plain fire sustained for a bit there.
Always a pleasure!
This iron's inside was burning for you and this iron was opening her heart to you lovely guy!
FLAMES !!! LOL Great vid as usual Andy & Polar !
pretty sweet video, thank you sir!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
"oh dear" XD love these videos
I love when elements becomes violently unstable when being overvolted.
Seeing that made my day! I raise my glass to you sir.

What started like an iron opened up and ended up looking like a mailbox
I noticed how well you framed the shot & when you cut to your tower/setup thing off screen. Very tasteful cuts those were.
The household item rinse outs are awesome. I love the overdrive of 'safe' and regulated domestic appliances in the name of science ;-)
Wow, that is cool!!! What is that explosion we see at 2:46?
This looks like an imperial shuttle opening.
You took the 1000C hot knifes to a whole new level with that one!! 1000C Iron OLOLOLOLOOOLOLLLLL
Now the iron was gonna set your clothes on fire when you iron it with high voltage iron
Love the video as always, Andy - thanks for finding the time to put it together for the benefit of all mankind. I wonder how quick a George Foreman grill could cook my dinner if it was hooked up to your supply... Fortunately I like my chicken extra crispy! Andy.
Nice!!!
Liking the new power supply too, good job :-)
Funny how many people love to watch things getting destroyed. :-)
Nice work fellas, nice work. The most relaxing way to do the chores.
These videos make me feel a lot safer at home knowing how much energy is required to destroy these things :P
It looks like a dragon breathing fire while slowly opening its mouth.
This does raise serious questions about why manufactures are allowed to make things with heating elements in close proximity to combustible plastics. All things like this should be of metal construction and well Earthed.

Thats the teflon coating burning off. You would make a brilliant physics teacher, the kids would love you. Sadly your headmaster would fire you for breaching H + S regs and the pupils would be that pissed off theyd stage a walkout. Keep going!
The carpet in that room looks very nice... I'm glad you kept it that way, at least during this video =P
Repackage it and ask for a refund. Love to see the store managers face.
Bloody brilliant xD, you're an inspiration to us all mate!
In the name of science !! I love this word from photonic induction.. the best ever !!
You just got it, it must still have a warranty, no?
The plastic on that iron burned for quite a long time. I wonder if it actually passed safety regulations regarding that, or if the one they tested was from a sample batch.
Any news on when you will be doing the billion candle power tortch? I carnt wait :-). Nice vid as always
"I won't flames not steam!" lol that made me crack up
Photon, have you heard about liquid resistors? your juicy power supply can drive it?
While I know that under normal use the iron wouldn't go into melt-down mode its kinda scary to think just how flammable most of that appliance is.
2:12 my grandmother and grandpa's iron
Photonic; do you ever play around with Tesla coils etc?
you should send it back to sainsburys, it will come to the depot in corby for inspection and review, pitty i didnt get the job with them as electrical returns engineer
Hi photon great video as always I always look forward to your videos I want to see you put a CRT TV through your beast power supply please keep more coming
That iron never stood the chance against that mega power supply! It extremely popped under such a low voltage! :D
Did it burn out on its own eventually? Quite combustible!
would you make a video, where you explain how that power supply works? Or you already have one?
Is that covered by the warranty?
GO PHOTON!
That Iron sure has been heated to the max! Bloody thing didn't even steam at 1200! One flick of the lever and you can safely say "I popped it!"
XD
photon in the house at the power supply controls once it's at 1200 watts: we don't do 1200 watts do we boys?
I'm ded
Spontaneous iron combustion at its finest.
Was there water in that iron? It didn't look like it; I think a second test might be in order. Possibly sealing the iron as a pressure vessel for maximum fun!
***** it would be interesting to see what happens to a multi metre when u exceed the voltage range or have u done a vid of that
should this type of plastic normally stop burning after a while on it's own?
What you guys need is a high speed camera
But the question is, does it blend?
3:33 reminded me of that one scene in one of the King Kong movies where Kong ripped the jaw apart on the other creature.
Awesome!!! I hope there WAS a temperature fuse which you removed prior to the test. If not... oh dear....
Now if someone would be capable of arranging the donation of a Sybian for Photon to modify, and direct it's evaluation, he'd finally have that BAFTA Award he's deserved for all-too-long!!
I laughed quite hard watching this vid. Nice one mate!
Haha, that iron was a little bit more flammable than you'd really want an iron to be :)
The amount of serious combustibles in consumer goods is worrying
Another great video,cheers mate
Hey ***** in your older episodes you used to cover briefly what safety precautions you were taking... Would you be able to include more of that? Helps people understand you're a professional and know what you're doing. :)
Proper burn in test love it keep em coming 😃
I come to watch the Videos - but I'm always distracted by the guy - he’s SO fit!! x
Another great video thanks mate they always cheer me up :)
Another good video mate, quality !
You, ahhh. Gonna put that out there?
That may make a hole in my shirt, great experiment as always.
better a hole in my shirt than a shirt in my hole
Oh yeah a new video from Photonicinduction ! :D
Let the fun begin ^^
looks like the bloody gate of hell opening
Why not take it back to Sainsburys under guarantee (hidden camera of course!!) Tell them it's faulty. Would love to see there faces. Only problem is you did use it outside!! so out side of guarantee terms. Probably best not to mention the 400+ volts however.
Hahaha - awesome!!
It was a good idea to do that outdoors too. It looked like it had a teflon coating - that gives off really nasty fumes when burned.
This is the modern "open sesame".
Great video. Can you crank something up with movement like a food blender or tumble drier? That would be awesome.
If I did this, my cat would probably curl up next to it and start to purr
