@@girrrrrrr2 Even more so with him. Styro has pure maniac energy, so he seems like he'd do something absurdly dangerous, but the biggest risk for him is usually blindness or burns from all the lasers. Photonic is dealing with instant death levels of high voltage on a daily basis. He seems unnaturally calm and cool despite playing with death incarnate. They're kind of like pure opposites, now that I think of it.
Old podcast name: SAFETY THIRD *Styropyro joins* New podcast: SAFETY...MAYBE As a high voltage enthusiast/UA-camr, I've been waiting for Styropyro to join, thanks for making this happen!
Despite doing maybe the most dangerous stuff out of everyone on the podcast, it does feel like Styro is simply smart enough to make sure that nothing goes wrong. He just has such a good understanding of the mechanics/physics/math behind whatever crazy thing he's working on, so he's aware of most/all the potential problems, and he makes sure to avoid them.
@@LabCoatz_Science Describing yourself as a "high-voltage enthusiast" made me laugh. It's like saying, "I'm an explosion collector" or "I'm a deadly radiation hobbyist." Idk, it just sounded cool and gave me a chuckle.
William is going to singlehandedly show you the scam of the modern American health care system and how to DIY it all at home! Next up Chemo-Therapy! lol
William frantically trying to prove that he didn’t do anything wrong with his video. I feel really bad by him, you can tell the critics really hurt his feelings about his project, which I think he’s very proud of making. Know you made a great video that was definitely safe enough for a limited use
i think he was exposed to way more x rays than he thought, because the entire tube was exposed, so the aperture was meaningless. the point of the aperture is to direct a stream of xrays from the tube when the rest of the tube is surrounded by lead
@@natalieisagirlnow yes he may have, but I think he’s more upset about the safety concerns for others/himself. Like it may have been much more dangerous than he thought, but it wasn’t life threatening levels in any way, and the concern for neighbors and other people is very low. I think William is most upset about the people worrying he’s putting lives in danger and that he’s never worried about safety.
@@sissyphussartre2907 agreed. Like it definitely was less safe than he originally thought, but it’s a done deal, no one was put in harms way except himself, and he wasn’t ever in a life threatening situation, just a non ideal one. Like you could tell styro was trying not to upset William but definitely thought they had some valid concerns about the safety of his video, and I agree, it wasn’t as safe as he planned. But he does take safety seriously and always has, especially with other people involved All in all, great video William, we love you either way, keep up the great content, and try and just let it go that yes you did actually make a mistake with this video, but you know better for next time and it wasn’t life threatening anyway
@@Cameron_Mind its will who will make a crying video when he succumbs to any possible damage in the future, hes not going to wear it like a fucking trophy, thats the issue with these type of controversial topics. just because we can do something doesnt mean we should, and if we do, at least have a purpose for it instead of archiving a bit of nonsense for youtube clout. i love will but there was nothing in that video that had purpose to appraise anything.

"Is a spark gap like a capacitor? No, it's more like a switch. I think it's more like a diode. Really, it's like a transistor. A resistor is like the best approximation" Wow. Is there any electrical component a spark gap _cannot_ be??
Doood I've had thermal runaway happen on a battery cell before. I make li-ion batteries for e-bikes and e-dirtbikes. I have a big fireproof box next to my workstation, just push whatever is flaming into it and close the lid. Come back after an hour or two to make sure I still have a shop, works everytime
Dude, that's sick! What part of the batteries do you do? Do you assemble the banks into one large battery? I'd like to know myself since buying e-bike ready batteries is really expensive in my country. Could I get a good quality battery for cheap by making it myself?
@@bradman7281 I can’t really justify DIY versions of commercially available batteries, for the cost of 18650’s in australia There was a recent controversy about the cost of a replacement Tesla model S battery being 22k, and I can’t even buy the cells to build one for 22k
This podcast has become what i look forward each week, it feels like a bunch of pals discussing what they did on class and the problems that they encounter but better... and slightly more deadly
@Eddie Hitler which is what I was saying. He bridges the gap between Kevin and will’s electrical knowhow with Nigel’s chemistry knowhow. That’s what I meant by intermediate
I'm on the backyard scientist side of things with a lot less electric knowledge. I love dangerous projects and I totally feel like kids should be involved with the process. I've let a 4 year old girl use a sharpened hatchet to chop some sticks for fun. I showed her exactly how and why it was dangerous, showed her how to make it not dangerous, and she was fine. (Mileage may vary depending on the intelligence of your toddler)
Pulling in Styropyro into this little community, I really wonder if UA-cam scientists could work together to actually create fusion. A UA-cam manhattan project of sorts.
@@youkofoxy the demon core wasn't the core of an atomic bomb, it was a test in criticality. The dome placed around it reflected neutrons. There have been other similar experiments, and 2 that I know of ended the same. They were never designed to reach full criticality, but the researchers made mistakes. The screw driver method of regulating the demon core is the most egregious example. Other times it was stacks of bricks and they stacked one too many bricks, other times the dome was actually in a rig, and the rig failed causing the 2 halves to meet. I know what you're trying to say, but you don't even need to manage risk as badly as the man that used that screwdriver when working with criticality to lose your life.
I'd rather see them all get together and try to grow super efficient solar cells using CRISPR, a specific fungus from Fraser Island, Australia and glass sea sponge DNA :D
The barn door on the third floor of that building, if the building is right up to the water, is probably for a cargo hoist. The doors open and a horizontal arm extends from the ceiling with a pulley that slides along its length. Useful to pull in and stack cargo from a boat. You’ll see them in old cities sometimes, too. Same idea but pulling and stacking cargo from horse-drawn carts or open-top trucks.
43:54 TLDR; under 1h of xray time there isn't really a risk to you from that setup. Text explains why (and what the emergency protocol should be) If you get a dose of ~1-5Gy (J/kg absorbed dose, roughly equivalent to Sv) you need to go to a well equipped hospital asap (ideally one that does radiation therapy or organ transplants, since they for sure have the equipment needed). There is a lot that can be done there since the death comes from your blood, immune system and intestinal glands losing lots of cells. Good therapy can get you through that. You might need blood transfusions, artificial nutrition, a clean environment or surgery. If you don't know the dose, go to one of the hospitals described abode and insist that they keep you there for a day and have them check your lymphocyte counts, that's usually one of the earliest indicators of acute radiation syndrome (radiation sickness).. But it's VERY unlikely you are ever getting a dose from your tube that can cause the ARS. Xray tubes are only about 1% efficient, so at 40kV 1.5µA you get at most 0.1-0.2mW of xrays. So you won't ever get more than like 200µGy/s. If you limit yourself to like 30min of xray time per year, that's the point where the data on whether it increases your cancer risk gets muddy. 1h of xray time per year probably increases your cancer risk slightly. 2h of xray time is where there is a theoretical chance of radiation poisoning. But if you are going to play with the xray tube again you might want to consider buying a PMMA based dosimeter. They are relatively cheap because they use plexiglass in place of a scintillator crystal and they measure tissue equivalent dose and are thus great for radiation safety assessments. If you actually measure your dose instead of going off of the physical theoretical maximum you'll find that you can likely increase your "playing x-rays" time by an order of magnitude or even two... And hey, I loved that xray video! I hope you'll bring it back :D If you get a better power supply that can actually drive the tube at 60-80kV you'll also find that your dose goes down even if the xray energy you are exposed to goes up (compton scattering crosssection decreases a lot with increasing energy)
I was talking to some Germans who work professionally with heavy machinery and they told me to get their certifications to use it they needed to watch horrible videos of people being mained by them. Similar to William's suggestion for making a forum with a video gateway.
I had a German professor in Engineering and he showed us those videos before we started using the workshop. They escalated really quickly and got very graphic
For osha training in the us, I had to watch videos of people getting electrocuted to a crisp, stupid people and lathes, and that video of that Chinese guy in a powerplant getting shocked and you just see his hat drop because he just got vaporized.
Had a Van de Graaff generator charge up my whole physics class when I was the teachers assistant senior year. I was at the very end and once everyone had hair standing up I touched the steel door frame. There was a very loud bang and every girl in class screamed. Both my arms and chest, every muscle felt electric and tingly, I felt super awake for the rest of the day. When I reached my next class I got another shock walking through that door too. I obviously realize how dumb it was in hindsight, but man I felt like Thor.
Love seeing Pyro here :D Hearing you mention Codyslab also made me really hungry for a cody episode! Id really love to hear his take on safety nerds from when he made the uranium yellowcake XD
In my last ever chemistry lesson aged 18 our teacher decided to make some thermite for us, but he used different metals/oxides to the classic mix the make it more energetic. It exploded, molten metal burned holes in our lab books and the table tops and the room filled with vaporised copper. We definitely went out with a bang.
34:03 WILLIAM: "How long ago did you make out-of-control nitroglycerin?" STYROPYRO: "Before my youtube channel!" Which he made in 2006. He is 29 years old. This means he was FOURTEEN when he was making nitroglycerin hahahahaha oh my gosh.
The question of teaching danger is super close at heart to me. Ryan Jenks with @howNOT2 started his whole channel on the basis that because climbing and highlining was inherently dangerous, putting out thorough knowledge is important to minimize the chance of people turning into a fine mist of blood. How do you balance the inherent dangers of actions with the valid rewards of doing those dangerous things, and is education or obfuscation the key to making sure people keep themselves away from taking risks.
I'm so glad this podcast has a bunch of people from the science community coming together. You should try to get Vsauce sometime, it'd be interesting to hear what he has to say about all of you lmao.
As much as I'd love that, I'd imagine it would be difficult to bring him on. Michael seems pretty disconnected from the rest of science youtube, he kinda just does his own thing.
I'm honestly am pretty damn excited for a collaboration between styropyro, Backyard Scientist, I did a thing, and William. Guaranteed to be entertaining.
Used to work IT in a science museum. They put a Tesla coil in as part of a new exhibit, that was kicked off every 15 minutes or so. We started getting calls for Wifi issues from the offices that were near the exhibit. Had to explain to them that they needed to put shielding along the exhibit walls, if they were going to keep using the Coil...
I love watching longer videos of these guys, so fun. They should release more longer videos, even if they aren’t podcasts. Just make it more normal to upload long extras videos
I'm sure you guys are already aware of this, but hearing about the vaporizing copper was a little concerning to me. When I had NFPA training, they told us it's best practice to take a breath before flipping a disconnect, because if there's an arc flash it will vaporize the wire. They said that even if you survive the arc flash, inhaling vaporized copper could end up killing you days later.
Man, this podcast is so good. Every episode has consistently been entertaining and the guests always make it interesting sharing their experiences and opinions on what's going on in the UA-cam sphere.
Fan of all you guys, and have done parts of all your fields. HV, chemistry, high pressure, very hot things, very cold things, stupid machines. that's my bag. Make sure to mitigate all risks, your aware of it, and build around it. but I gave myself a bad concussion a few days ago planting tomato's, slipped and came down on a brick right on my temple. I generally don't feel I need to take safety precautions planting tomato's. Worst injury ive had in many years. from baby tomato's.
My rule of thumb is to think of every single possibility of something that could go wrong and to assess what actions need to be taken to mitigate that risk. For example: when I was learning to weld, I would wear leather shoes, leather welding gloves that went up to my elbows, and a very heavy duty jacket in addition to the full face helmet. Wearing all that with no skin exposed, in addition to living in Australia gets hot so I take regular breaks but it's a necessary step.
youtubes algorithms are next level, i have been recommended this guys content hard in the last few days, completely out of the blue, never heard of him before. did they know this vid was coming a few days ago & actioned recommendations because of it? if so, that shit is crazy.
On water as an insulator: A friend worked for a lighting armature company and there was this trade show. They displayed their device in a fish tank, with a goldfish for flair, to show that it was really water proof. But it wasn't really, so they used destilled water. And replaced the fish regularly.
A problem with hiding “dangerous” information is guessing. A few years ago I was making pyrogen for rocket igniters. It’s really hard to find the info how to make it online because no one wants to share it. I thought you could use any type of gunpowder and was about to use smokeless white powder, when I found out I needed black powder. If I would have used white I would have made unstable nitro!
42:00 when Will was asking about dose detectors, he should have used a skeleton arm painted black to scratch his nose nonchalantly XD love your pod, keep up the great stuff! Will, don't let your critics kill your science! tHERE ARE LITERALLY people who sit around on the internet looking for anything to create drama over, and they do not care about the drama. Its just a convenient distraction from their BS. you will never win them over, because they are UNREASONABLE. 1:27:00 just claim you are Zeus followers practicing your lightning based faith =)
Inquisitiveness & Curiosity = Enlightenment …..! Your debate really reminded me of my own discovery through HV & Chemistry and made me feel like I was going through a personal life history. You guy’s are necessary as a guide for both enquiry and safety, like you aptly noted - there are so many other activities that can do you mischief and possibly cause death. Huge respect to you guys and what you do, it would be a sad world without videos such as these. 🙏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😁
The weapon tip speed limit was a thing on Robot Wars too for the same reason although I think the speed limit was slightly lower, I can't remember the exact numbers

I had a German professor in Engineering and he showed us those videos before we started using the workshop. They escalated really quickly and got very graphic
You also have to sign a paper that releases any potential video of you being maimed by machinery
For osha training in the us, I had to watch videos of people getting electrocuted to a crisp, stupid people and lathes, and that video of that Chinese guy in a powerplant getting shocked and you just see his hat drop because he just got vaporized.
@@oooofmyfeelers6796 where is that video?
I love how they talk about all this super complex stuff like it’s basic maths and physics.
Had a Van de Graaff generator charge up my whole physics class when I was the teachers assistant senior year. I was at the very end and once everyone had hair standing up I touched the steel door frame. There was a very loud bang and every girl in class screamed. Both my arms and chest, every muscle felt electric and tingly, I felt super awake for the rest of the day. When I reached my next class I got another shock walking through that door too. I obviously realize how dumb it was in hindsight, but man I felt like Thor.
Love seeing Pyro here :D Hearing you mention Codyslab also made me really hungry for a cody episode! Id really love to hear his take on safety nerds from when he made the uranium yellowcake XD
Codyslab would be my top pick, like his gunpowder from pee and eating mercury vids, him and Nilered would have crazy convos
In my last ever chemistry lesson aged 18 our teacher decided to make some thermite for us, but he used different metals/oxides to the classic mix the make it more energetic. It exploded, molten metal burned holes in our lab books and the table tops and the room filled with vaporised copper. We definitely went out with a bang.
I love that Styro has a screwdriver in the ground of the socket behind him, that usually implies sketchy stuff
Its for checking a hot ground (it has an indicator light in the handle)
34:03
WILLIAM: "How long ago did you make out-of-control nitroglycerin?"
STYROPYRO: "Before my youtube channel!"
Which he made in 2006. He is 29 years old. This means he was FOURTEEN when he was making nitroglycerin hahahahaha oh my gosh.
You guys should have a podcast episode with all the past guests you’ve had tbh. Absolute chaos but would be fun
The question of teaching danger is super close at heart to me. Ryan Jenks with @howNOT2 started his whole channel on the basis that because climbing and highlining was inherently dangerous, putting out thorough knowledge is important to minimize the chance of people turning into a fine mist of blood. How do you balance the inherent dangers of actions with the valid rewards of doing those dangerous things, and is education or obfuscation the key to making sure people keep themselves away from taking risks.
All of them are speedrunning life then there's I did a thing just sending nails flying through his garage to bedroom
I'm so glad this podcast has a bunch of people from the science community coming together. You should try to get Vsauce sometime, it'd be interesting to hear what he has to say about all of you lmao.
That would be amazing
Or all three of them at some point!
If he is getting Vsauce, he must call Adam Savage or Simone.
As much as I'd love that, I'd imagine it would be difficult to bring him on. Michael seems pretty disconnected from the rest of science youtube, he kinda just does his own thing.
@@PopLadd Lol if Filthy Frank was able to get him for human cake, I'm sure he would be happy to make an appearance here.
Where is the next podcast? This was becoming a highlight for my Friday
I'm honestly am pretty damn excited for a collaboration between styropyro, Backyard Scientist, I did a thing, and William. Guaranteed to be entertaining.
Backyard scientist? That's not a real youtuber. Did you mean the Backdoor Scientist?
Hands down my favorite podcast guys please keep it coming 😁
I love finding new creators to watch through this podcast, styropyro was a gem!
Take a vodka shot every time Styro says "like" and you'll be Russian to the hospital
Or "Yeah"
Or "It's funny" xD
Omg ruch in, "russian" dad jokes
take **anything** every time he says 'like' and you'll be in the hospital
I came here to make this comment
This video is gold, it's very telling of each guy out of their element. Some are still the same and some very, we'll different.
I literally screamed when I saw this thumbnail. Time to do Safety Last!
This was my favorite one yet, super chill and lots of food for thought.
Pls keep going. This is good podcast. The more I listen, the more likely I am to be put on a list.
Used to work IT in a science museum. They put a Tesla coil in as part of a new exhibit, that was kicked off every 15 minutes or so. We started getting calls for Wifi issues from the offices that were near the exhibit. Had to explain to them that they needed to put shielding along the exhibit walls, if they were going to keep using the Coil...
I love watching longer videos of these guys, so fun. They should release more longer videos, even if they aren’t podcasts. Just make it more normal to upload long extras videos
I'm sure you guys are already aware of this, but hearing about the vaporizing copper was a little concerning to me. When I had NFPA training, they told us it's best practice to take a breath before flipping a disconnect, because if there's an arc flash it will vaporize the wire. They said that even if you survive the arc flash, inhaling vaporized copper could end up killing you days later.
Styro's audio quality was really rough compared to everyone else's, but still a great episode.
It kinda felt like he was yelling but everyone else’s audio were kinda hard to hear
This is by far my consistently favorite podcast!
This podcast made me realize that science is like the radical sports of the nerds.
Styro sounds like the smartest valley girl in this
"It makes chemistry exciting coz we can make boom bigger" . reason why I love this podcast
Man, this podcast is so good. Every episode has consistently been entertaining and the guests always make it interesting sharing their experiences and opinions on what's going on in the UA-cam sphere.
This is one of the best episodes so far, Styropyro is a perfect guest for this. Super fun watch
Fan of all you guys, and have done parts of all your fields. HV, chemistry, high pressure, very hot things, very cold things, stupid machines. that's my bag. Make sure to mitigate all risks, your aware of it, and build around it.
but I gave myself a bad concussion a few days ago planting tomato's, slipped and came down on a brick right on my temple. I generally don't feel I need to take safety precautions planting tomato's. Worst injury ive had in many years. from baby tomato's.
YESSSS. William and friends, I love this podcast so damn much. Please keep it up. You always keep finding my favourite creators.
My rule of thumb is to think of every single possibility of something that could go wrong and to assess what actions need to be taken to mitigate that risk. For example: when I was learning to weld, I would wear leather shoes, leather welding gloves that went up to my elbows, and a very heavy duty jacket in addition to the full face helmet. Wearing all that with no skin exposed, in addition to living in Australia gets hot so I take regular breaks but it's a necessary step.
youtubes algorithms are next level, i have been recommended this guys content hard in the last few days, completely out of the blue, never heard of him before.
did they know this vid was coming a few days ago & actioned recommendations because of it? if so, that shit is crazy.
He’s so fucking great. I love his stuff.
Yes he’s great
He uploaded a video a week ago and he doesn't upload very often so naturally he's going to get more recommendations than usual
On water as an insulator: A friend worked for a lighting armature company and there was this trade show. They displayed their device in a fish tank, with a goldfish for flair, to show that it was really water proof. But it wasn't really, so they used destilled water. And replaced the fish regularly.

I added this to my favorites list, I have not added to my favorites in a long time. This is well deserving of a ton of love.
A problem with hiding “dangerous” information is guessing. A few years ago I was making pyrogen for rocket igniters. It’s really hard to find the info how to make it online because no one wants to share it. I thought you could use any type of gunpowder and was about to use smokeless white powder, when I found out I needed black powder. If I would have used white I would have made unstable nitro!
I really appreciate every new Safety Third video.
42:00 when Will was asking about dose detectors, he should have used a skeleton arm painted black to scratch his nose nonchalantly XD love your pod, keep up the great stuff! Will, don't let your critics kill your science! tHERE ARE LITERALLY people who sit around on the internet looking for anything to create drama over, and they do not care about the drama. Its just a convenient distraction from their BS. you will never win them over, because they are UNREASONABLE. 1:27:00 just claim you are Zeus followers practicing your lightning based faith =)
I love the grounded screwdriver in the wall outlet in styropyros camera :D
Styro sounds like he should have used hearing protection more. :)
Inquisitiveness & Curiosity = Enlightenment …..! Your debate really reminded me of my own discovery through HV & Chemistry and made me feel like I was going through a personal life history. You guy’s are necessary as a guide for both enquiry and safety, like you aptly noted - there are so many other activities that can do you mischief and possibly cause death. Huge respect to you guys and what you do, it would be a sad world without videos such as these. 🙏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😁
If your not scared, your not prepared !
The weapon tip speed limit was a thing on Robot Wars too for the same reason although I think the speed limit was slightly lower, I can't remember the exact numbers
20 hours up and nine dislikes. Goes to show how much everyone is loving this. Keep up the awsome work guys!!
All star cast: Will, Nile, Backyard, and Thing 👌🏼
Four of my favorite UA-camrs all in one podcast, how much better can it get?
You should get photonicinduction on here since he came back to the internet.
Oh fuck yeah that'd be awesome, he's an OG of high voltage shenanigans
I never listen to podcasts but I really enjoyed this. Great stuff
I love this podcast so much. Great episode.
My favorite laser mad scientist! So glad you finally got styro on!
styropyro is like my anxiety trying to speak in public, I love it
I'm 13 and in the process of building a musical slayer exciter.
Thanks for the info on Tesla coils styro!

Super helpful bro😂😂
@@westie430 thanks bro, just wanted to help out the community ya know 😂
The one podcast that has gotten most of my favorite UA-camr engineers
Literally anyone on this podcast- "you that type of bomb with this, this, and this? I made that"
Everyone else on the podcast- "yeah yeah love those"
This is the best channel ever! Period!
