  • Join the science discord! / discord I was curious what would happen if you plugged in a subwoofer so thats how this video was born. Then I plug in a hotdog, electrify a can of shaving cream, tickle a pickle (with 120 volts), and show you my new method of rapid plasma assisted material removal on a can of lighter fluid.

    Those extension cords he made are also referred to as suicide cords because it’s two male ends.

      How did they envision it being useful is my question.

      in short if that 220V and he touched the live he will be shocked even with shoes some people are sensitive to 110V too

  • @solargreg1
    @solargreg1 4 роки тому +390

    Back in the 80's, I used to work on huge UHF television transmitters. So big, you literally walk around inside the circuit. There are a series of keys to get inside. First, you turn off the main switch, which opens a little sliding door with a lock inside, with a key in it. You cannot take the key out until you turn the lock, which locks the sliding door over the switch so no one can get to it, and then you can pull the key out. You take that key across the room and it lets you turn off the cooling fans and other auxillary equipment, trapping the first key and revealing another. There are like three or four more keys in all, the last of which turns off the main power breakers, and gives you the key that opens the transmitter "cabinet" door so you can go inside. In there are capacitors the size of suitcases, and inductors the size of trashcans, and a certain giant vacuum tube (called a klystron) the size of a refrigerator, surrounded by magnetic coils the size of truck tires. There are four klystrons: two for the video carrier, one for audio, and one for standby.
    When you open the door, hanging right in the center of the doorway is a 3ft long fiberglass stick with copper ball on the end. We called it the "thunder stick". Its hanging in the center of the door so that you can not walk through without either picking it up, or dodging it. You take that stick (by the fiberglass insulator) and go around touching the copper ball to certain points to make sure they are not live nor have any residual charge left on them.
    I did this every time I entered for like five years, and nothing ever happened, so I go used to the routine. Then one day when you least expect it....KAPOW!!! ...and I found myself sitting on my arse with ears ringing, acrid smoke curling in the air, a bright after-image in my eyesight, unable to say anything except "God damn!" I had to take a long break and doublecheck everything before I would go back in there. Those big capacitors have bleeder resistors that drain the charge off of them (by the time you finaly go through all those keys to get in). Except this time, the bleeder resistor had failed, and the cap still had a full charge on it. "Thank God for the Thunder Stick!"
    As an electronics tech, i rarely ever shocked myself, but I had things blow up in my face many times. Im glad that time the thunder stick took it, because that one most likely would have been fatal. I do not miss working on big powerful transmitters. Dangerous as hell.

      @@Account64000 It's only 110V. A spark needs about 10,000V per cm to jump through air. I suppose you might worry that your hand might accidentally swipe against it if you get too close but in theory if he's got normal control of his muscles, he's safe enough.
      The rubber shoes are enough to insulate him from the earth, so there's no path there for the live voltage to run through. Only from live to neutral, so he'd have to touch both prongs at once, as he said.
      Yeah it's silly and dramatic and not wise, it's bad practice, but it makes a decent video I suppose.

    I've shocked myself dozens of times. My dad was an HVAC guy, and he taught me alot of stuff when I was a kid, but electrical was what I liked the most. So I'd always be wiring things up with spare parts in the garage. I was always careful, but I was also 10 years old, so mistakes were inevitably made. The best one though was when I unplugged the dryer and plugged it back in just for fun. My finger was touching a prong and that was the only 240v shock I've ever had. It was pretty wild. My whole arm was vibrating for about an hour.

      Apparently, electricians call that a "suicide cable," lol. People sometimes use them to connect a generator to their house's wiring. --Which is a really bad idea, BTW. You should do it properly with a transfer switch because if you forget to turn off your main breaker your generator sends electricity back out to the lines, which can electrocute a line worker. So, it actually ought to be called a "homicide cable."

    What's neat about the subwoofer is that the US grid runs at 60hz. Which happens to be be RIGHT where the subwoofer likes to function. And that's why it was playing a 60hz baseline. If that was hooked up to a box it would have made a rather powerful bass tone. For as long as it lasts

      110V / 8ohms = 13.75 amps. 13.75 * 110 = 1512.5 watts. So a 1.5KW speaker in a proper enclosure would have been able to withstand it! That said I dunno that they make 1.5KW units. Nightclubs and concert venues can have a few KW worth of sound, but that's usually split between several smaller speakers, with several smaller amplifiers.
      You could wire up a few speaker drivers like that into one unit, in series - parallel connection. Then you'd have a multiple-speaker unit able to take the power. If you wanted 1.5KW of a continually droning 60Hz bassline. Why not, there's worse music in the charts.
