A 1000 watt light bulb gets cranked up "until it pops" with ever increasing power. The lamp also gets a couple of million watts in an instant just for fun.
I have to be honest and say I don't like the new mic, :( Too sensitive if moving or doing physical work. Pain in the butt wearing it. Will I get interference with HV? I'll get a better mic for the camera :) I had a go lol
it does sound like you are talking and holding your nose, camera mic much better, if you could adjust the low levers (bass) on the mic it wouldn't be so bad.
Excellent video,top-notch as always.The gentleman that's on your show looks somewhat like"Red Foreman"from "That 70's Show"HAHA!!.He looked like he wanted to say..."We are going crank it up to far beyond dumbass levels like never before!!)HAHAHA!!.I was laughing all though this video,great stuff Photonicinduction and"Red Foreman"LOL!!.
Ì'd say for what you're doing, you want a little shotgun mic on top of your camera, something like a rode videomic. It will reject sound from behind, and be far away enough to not hear your clothes rustle, but it will capture the sound of the room, meaning you get everyone talking, as well as the sound of things going pop. For a more advanced solution, you could get an external stereo recorder, like a zoom h1 or a zoom h4n
+22fret he should power them up once in a while. Their purple plasma arcs look really cool when they're working. They would make an interesting decoration piece
I just wanna give you a big fuzzy hug because you always makes me happy when you crank it up stupid and pop electronics. I love the whole room filling with a blue glow as the filament fails in 2:32! :D
He has a battery system which allows him to charge up during cheap night clicks and stay off grid at day and especially when doing this electric stuff. It's all explained in an earlier video. :)
It's not like he does this sort of thing everyday. A 100 W light bulb left on for a month would cost more than his 20,000 W power supply on max use in one hour.
***** I'm relatively new to photonic induction, only been here since 2015. Though I still imagine it costs a heck of a lot for the set up costs/equipment even if the energy is cheaper than I thought. Though thanks I should watch that video! :)
The bulb getting popped by the cap was awesome - Would love to see that with a high-speed camera! You should do a kickstarter/gofundme type thing to get one mate! GG
Here I was watching your old vids and I get a message telling me you've just uploaded a new one. Keep up the cracking vids Andy. Cheers from Australia.
That must have been quite some pressure releasing, judging by how that warning label placed below the control panel got blown about when the bulb popped. Must've felt a bit like a sonic boom in person I bet :D
Do you take requests? an until it pops of a PC Power Supply? Everytime I have had one of these fail on me normally they are pretty impressive bangs and light shows, be even more interesting at high voltage
If PSUs fail on you that often, you should consider investing a little bit more money and buying a brand PSU from brands like SeaSonic or Super Flower. I'm exclusively using those brands for customer PCs and up till now not a single one failed. Also for your request, Photon should definitely take a chinese no-name one, because trying to pop a SeaSonic or Super Flower PSU will be pretty tiring, since first you need to manually remove the Over-Voltage Protection, the Under-Voltage Protection, the Over-Power Protection, the Short-Curcuit Protection and the Temperature Protection before you could try to pop it. Kind regards, Meta Custom Computers
^^^ Meta Custom Computers, I agree with you. Besides, it's good to get a well made PSU, since because it is less likely to break, you will have less motherboards that need replacing as well.. XP Those cheap ass ones sold for like $5 to $20 dollars simply aren't up to the task. I've seen plenty that are labelled for "400W" or even "850W" yet the internal guts were only good for about 200W. And with the lack of OPP, what happens is the switching transistors on the primary side will blow once the transformer core saturates. Can easily send a surge into the motherboard, which can fry it to buggery!
Benjamin Esposti The particular power supply I had in mind when writing that was an Antec "Server" PSU which while turned off and still connected to the mains exploded in a small light show complete with smoke. But things like safety and fuses don't seem to be a problem for Photon and they do have some lovely big caps and other things in them to go pop
Ahh, well, I'm not aware of Antec making server PSUs, but I'm sure it's quite possible for them to do so. I don't really trust Antec all that much though, especially with the Fuhjyyu capacitor fiasco they had. BTW it's always possible that even a good brand can make a bad PSU. I had someone give me a DELL SFF tower that went bang - the PSU is a common failure in certain dell machines. A google search revealed many complaints of them dropping like flies. I took the PSU apart and was going to fix it, but a particular hard to get IC was blown, so I didn't repair it. Just got a new one. The old PSU was made by HIPRO, which generally make decent power supplies (mostly for OEM's). The new PSU was much different internally, even though it had the same part number and revision number as the old one! Go figure ... (Not sure who made the new unit, it wasn't appearant. No marks on the transformers or PCB, but the PSU was well made with a two layer firbreglass PCB and DC-DC converters for the minor output rails.)
Great effect - glass vaporized or maybe it's pulverized. I have to wonder though, exactly what caused that explosion? Was it the internal pressure from vaporized tungsten? Was there enough gas left in the bulb to expand exponentially when the filament hit the temperature of the surface of the sun? Nicely done Photon!
He needs to move his equipment somewhere more rural out away from town. Then he could do all sorts of fun dangerous experiments with all that power. If he cranked up a metal box fan until it blew it could possibly send blades flying at quite a speed. He could also make a railgun.
sirgallium The best (and safest) bet is to use a box fan with a metal casing but with plastic blades. so that if they go flying off; they'll simply break up before causing too much damage.
I have watched every video photonicinduction has ever uploaded at the very least 3-4 times, yet this is the first I see this video, even looking through all playlists and the channel specific video feed
Quite interesting! Good job! What would be very interesting is if you repeated the experiment on the big variac with a full-wave rectifier and see how big of a arc you get inside of the lamp when the filament goes! :)
You know what could make this type of videos great? - High speed camera - Cleaner surroundings like the hydraulic press channels - Graph the voltage and current like if you are measuring the power of an engine.
"Lightbulb's gone"
"It's raining glass"
These guys crack me up hahaha.
"light bulb's gone" couldn't stop laughing!
Same lol
i lost it there
same
That part was fucking classic! 😂
It's raining glass....
*Poff*. Laebulb's gunn.
3:54 Loved watching the remains of the filament jumping up, glass long since departed!! Love your commentary, style and content... never a dull video.
Nice to see you :))
The actual mad science laugh after he talks about the lack of fuse on the lightbulb is just too good.
I have to be honest and say I don't like the new mic, :( Too sensitive if moving or doing physical work. Pain in the butt wearing it. Will I get interference with HV? I'll get a better mic for the camera :) I had a go lol

The Original Sound was way better! I even liked the old Camera with Purple Dots :)
Now that discharge from the cap bank into the bulb was truly amazing! That popped way better than I expected lol!
Well that was the Highlight of the day.
Bright spark here everyone :P
Very _illuminating_ comment. Thanks!
Amazing how many people enjoy watching things getting destroyed. :-) I'm one of them. My guess was 2.5KW
Five years
Mine was 2000 ...
Those mercury arc rectifiers make nice display pieces.
Would be a shame to blow one of those up...

received :)
I just found my new favorite UA-cam channel! Lol, "none of this build it up slowly and then pop it." I loved that one.
When you say things like that, it really hurts me inside.
I cant imagine "watt" your electricity bill looks like... hehehe
He probably gets business (flat)rates :P

Bloody hell it's good to have you back
Another amazing vid Photon. Please keep doing what you do, you're brilliant
Never a dull moment here..
Thank you, Photonic.

pretty exited your consistently putting out videos again. glad to see you back. As always great video and keep up the good work
Here I was watching your old vids and I get a message telling me you've just uploaded a new one. Keep up the cracking vids Andy. Cheers from Australia.
I know you must have a extremely busy job, so thank you for taking the time to keep the videos coming!
That must have been quite some pressure releasing, judging by how that warning label placed below the control panel got blown about when the bulb popped. Must've felt a bit like a sonic boom in person I bet :D
I'm loving this Until It Pops series. :) Keep it up! :)

Ayy similar logos
You're a maniac. Love the videos and glad you're back at it! Microphone was a nice change, definitely made a difference.
That last bulb though, for some reason I got a very good laugh at watching it explode. 🤣

Was there enough gas left in the bulb to expand exponentially when the filament hit the temperature of the surface of the sun? Nicely done Photon!
what a great way to wake up in the morning watching a video like this.
"DO try this at home!" - Photoninduction
I fucking love it! Good thing you're back, man!
glad your back at it, great videos
great to see Polar again ! looking forward to the next vid !
your channel is awesome. it has danger, technology abuse, profanity, and pissed drunkenness. keep up the good work mate.
I like the new equipment! Good to see you got the hang of editing with the GoPro and microphone and all of that!
Glass everywhere, including your bed. I'm sure wifey is going to love that.
Thanks Mate. Always good fun.
Thanks for making these videos. They are super cool and I love seeing you destroy stuff. Good on you, mate. Cheers from America.
@2:26-2:33
"And the lightbulb's heart grew three sizes that day!"
The mic made a HUGE improvement! ...now you just need a high speed camera and you're ready for big time! :)
I always love Photon's diabolical laugh.
Much improved sound quality and a good vid as always!
It's great to see you back, mate.
Always great to see new content from you Andy :)
"Lightbulbs gone" hahahahaha
@Photonicinduction I've come to expect explosions and frying sessions, but that bulb detonation was not expected! Keep up with the great uploads!
You are crazy insane mad men! My kind of people. Keep up the good work!!
Drew an honest laugh out loud, haha, fabulous!
I started cracking up with your "Light bulbs gone" after it explodes into oblivion
These videos crack me up.... Very funny!
3:41 sounds like special police department guy reporting: Target removed...😂
Miss you Andy ❤
good to see you back
my smile is cheek to cheek cudos mate love these videos
Your video is MUCH MORE EXCITING than watching Jeopardy or sports on TV!
thank you for all your videos
You're the best Photon, keep up the vids
I would love to see this done with a fan of some sorts. Maybe even a box fan...
He needs to move his equipment somewhere more rural out away from town. Then he could do all sorts of fun dangerous experiments with all that power. If he cranked up a metal box fan until it blew it could possibly send blades flying at quite a speed. He could also make a railgun.
I want to see a rail gun on steroids :D
Induction motor will just smoke up
He already did a railgun ;-)
sirgallium The best (and safest) bet is to use a box fan with a metal casing but with plastic blades. so that if they go flying off; they'll simply break up before causing too much damage.
3:42 (Glass shatters!) “Light bulb’s gone!”😂😂😂
“It’s raining glass!”😂😂😂
Cracks me up everytime😂😂😂
Andy you are a Diamond . You make my day .
Glad your back Andy. :D
I have watched every video photonicinduction has ever uploaded at the very least 3-4 times, yet this is the first I see this video, even looking through all playlists and the channel specific video feed
I'm so happy you took that back out!
New subscriber, love all the vids. New microphone sounds great!
Welcome!
hey man good to see you're active again!
More vids more vids . love your video's the only problem I have with them is I've watched them all 2 times or more great work .
Wow a gillion watts explosion was awesome, making it rain glass was priceless LOL
Love it. Keep it up old boy.
your energy provider must love you.
thank god your back again I now have a reason to live
Absolute belter. Keep it up!
NIce, and with good sound quality.
Love it when you blow stuff up so casually hahaha. "I POPPED IT!!!!!"
so glad to see the capacitor back
"Light bulb's gone!"
"It's raining glass!"
That's why I'm watching him.
Incandescent bulbs are mega inefficient. In fact, they're so inefficient that they're banned in some places.
So glad I never had an issue with my 1000w grow lights!
My favourite part of blowing up lightbulbs, is the split-second were you can see the filament glow, before the explosion.
Love the videos keep doing what your doing
Is it just me, or is Polar looking in better shape and sharper in general now than when I first started watching?
You're back!
I subscribed this channel is brilliant
great video as always.
you need a high speed camera! that would be a great addition.
Quite interesting! Good job! What would be very interesting is if you repeated the experiment on the big variac with a full-wave rectifier and see how big of a arc you get inside of the lamp when the filament goes! :)
That Sennheiser microphone is top-notch.
Photon bingo: "Silly light bulbs", "I popped it", "Where's my hammer", "Crank it right up", "Open it up carefully" etc. etc etc.
You know what could make this type of videos great?
- High speed camera
- Cleaner surroundings like the hydraulic press channels
- Graph the voltage and current like if you are measuring the power of an engine.
“Do try this at home why not hahaha 🤣 “
Love this channel
Awesome video photon! Keep up the good work! 3:41
Legend has it, he's still finding bits of glass in the house.
This looks like great fun for parties!
this is incredibly satisfying
just what i need when i wake up, more powerrrrr!!!!!!
"Light bulbs gone" LOL
1:34 the mad scientist laugh! great video
lol I love that monster capacitor.
"Light Bulbs Gone!"
"its raining glass"
"oh dear"
LOOOL
That light bulb had it comin' lads.
excellent video 😎
very educational. love it.
the capacitor bit at the end was nostalgic.
Good idea with the lav-microphone! It's really nice...
A piece of paper to the right and in the background was moved by the shockwave created by the exploding lightbulb. Well done...
