UK versus USA canned hot dog electrocution challenge. (mastication alert)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2019
- In one corner we have the gaunt malnourished British-style hotdogs and in the other we have the more robust American style hotdogs. But in a head to head battle of who can pass the most current while being electrocuted - who will win?
Trehalose appears to be a sugar with unusual properties like moisture retention and bonding.
Results below:-
The competing hot dogs were pitted against 240V in teams of six with points awarded for current passed and peak power. Other points were awarded for style.
The UK themed hotdogs passed a peak of 13A (2.99kW) before they started exploding really forcibly at 24 seconds.
The USA themed hot dogs passed a huge 17.57A (3.995kW) before they started arcing and popping at 22 seconds.
The winner is America. But the British hot dogs get a special mention for actually exploding with unreasonable force at the end.

"We're running these hot dogs well above thier rated voltage" is a phrase I never thought I would hear....
"Exciting, it smells like burning human bodies..."
Unfortunately, what he said was "the HotDogger ...", which is what the appliance is called. Of course, the fact that american style hot dogs carry more current than the british-style ones is rather amusing.
Awesome! LOL Yeah Wrong frequency too British hot dogs should cook at 240v 50hz American should be cooked at 120v 60hz.
Though I should have rooted for the American hotdogs, being American, I like the British "Explode-O-Dogs" better!
And then they squirt in your mouth! :P
American and UK hot dogs, both Dutch made, being tested using a Canadian apparatus and being judged by a Scotsman at the Isle of Man.
Could this be the most international video ever on this channel?
You also forgot that they are from a American company, but made in Japan
On the Isle of Man.
And we all thought that Infinity War was the biggest crossover ever.
Those are American only in name.
Now all we need is a collab between Clive and Ashens.
As an American, I must say, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen hot dogs extracted from a can.
"Vienna sausages" are basically canned mini hot dogs, and seem to be prevalent in the US. They usually end up being used in some kind of appetizer tray.
Vienna sausages are NOT Chicago Vienna hot dogs! Barely solid mush, rolled up and stuffed in a can. Ate a lot of them as a kid. No idea why.
My thought exactly!
USA boy here, never seen hotdogs in a can lmao
Canadian boi here, yeah we don't get canned hot dogs either. Ours are usually vacuum sealed and can either be pre-cooked, or raw.
@saxan85 india
Werli yah I never seened them either
In Australia you can get canned hotdogs made in the Netherlands and also ones in a glass jar from germany
only hotdogs you get in a can are in prison
"It smells like burning human bodies."
Well, there's a phrase I never expected to hear.
Very sinister in my opinion, that he could so easily identify that smell.
If he invites you for dinner, don't go.
"That crap that he normally eats.".... Hmm m..
well it is pretty well known that human meat smells a lot like pig's meat when burned, pretty bacony.
but it's really not all that creepy until you start smelling the hair too.
@@dutchdykefinger and the burnt finger nails
Ahh yes, current consumption, the only true measure of fine cuisine.
lol wtf did he mean by that
Hot dogs... A CURRENT favorite!
One of the blessings of discovering this channel in 2021 is the pleasure of browsing the archives and finding gems like this one. 😂
Thank you so much, Big Clive. You are a treasure.
This channel is indeed one that got me through 2020 as a high school student
"Farting Electrical Noises" is my favorite rock band...
They did a couple of John Peel sessions
>It smells like burning human bodies.
>I'm gonna eat that.
Lots to unpack here Clive. :^)
🤔🤔🤔🤔
"It tastes like processed meat paste extruded finger things." - Clive's pretty much bang-on description of a hot dog.
The ingredients he read are not in the typical American Hotdog. The ones I buy are beef hotdogs and there isn't chicken or pork anywhere near them. It might be typical for the immitation things he electrocuted, not a Kogels or Nathans hotdog. Any meat coming out of a can is going to taste like dog food.
@@abergethirty Those are more premium American hotdogs. The super "cheep" hotdogs like John Morrel or Bar-S do feature pork & chicken parts, but they do not look anything like the ones in that can.
I actually owned and operated one of these. It was back in the 60's and I found it in a thrift shop. It would cook a full load in a minute or less. And they were always juicy and cooked. The taste was fantastic!! Even the burnt parts were good. Boiling hot dogs leaves the flavor in the pan. Electrocuting kept the taste in the meat!! And this was LONG before some tech got a soft chocolate bar in his pocket so this was instant for the day. I really enjoyed this video. Not sure which I want most, the cooker, or back to the 60's!! Thank you for this!!
"We are going to see the flavour - but more importently how much current they draw."
The relevant categories for food comperision are - as everone knows - texture, flavour and electrical resistance!
Hot dogs in cans are not American, no matter what the label says. I think it might be like British Instant Iced Tea.
Yeah I was about to say ive never seen a full sized canned hot dog before, cocktail weenies sure but not full size.
Definitely not a US thing. The sparks on the American dogs were amazing!
Right
they do, but they're usually called vienna sausages instead.
@@PandaMan02 First, Vienna is in Austria, not the US. Second, they're about one third as long as a hot dog and totally different texture.
And nobody packs hot dogs in brine over here, WTF!!! GROSSSSSS! And I eat steamies. That's how gross those are. Even I won't eat 'em.
Never, in the field of UA-cam videos, has cooking hotdogs been so entertaining .
:)
"Exciting! It smells like burning human bodies!" Insinuating you know what that smells like?
well ... hes an electricion who might've experienced one or to coworkers getting shocked you never know...
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan I have had the misfortune of smelling them as well. My first impression was 'smoky bacon'. It also put me off of meat for some time.
They teach this in highschool in Canada
@@skeletor-hd5180 When the blizzard has snowed everybody in, food has run out, and the straw-pull has chosen today's "victim", I imagine it's helpful that high school prepared you for the impending "bouquet".
I'm curious though, is this class taught before or after they teach you to field-dress the body? I mean, I'm assuming you don't just roast them on the spit while still clothed...
Oh wait, this isn't another Canadian life-hack for keeping warm is it??
@@NightsReign no, it's the first thing they teach you around anything that gets stupid fucking hot, stupid fuckin quick. Like in Wood/metal shop.
Must be fun being that dence, huh?
This Guy: let's pit these hotdogs against each other!

Hahahahaha 👍
My wife just asked me what the f*** I am watching, I had no answer.
There's a simple solution: quickly switch to porn next time. It's easier to explain ;p
@Jadin Andrews
cookery program :-)
But does watching Big Clive really need an explanation? Thats the real question.
hahaha
You would simply go on to explain that you're watching an electronics engineer explain the intricacies of hot dogs!... Trust me, the look on her face would be worth it.
"Exciting, it smells like burning human bodies."
This is one of those quotes that could easily be taken out of context...
This looked like an Ashens episode untill he pulled out the overclocked hot dog cooker.
You could add some inductive load with curly fries.
This is gold
Would some some form of cream filled cookie provide capacitance to correct power factor?
@@Spectral_Penguin I don't see why not
@@Spectral_Penguin Behold the oreo-cap :)
I would kill for some fries right now.
"Exciting, it smells like burning human bodies." - Big Clive 2019
i swear he made "the ok sign" too
Hmmm, how would you know, Clive?
@mharris1270 My friends cousins sisters ex mother in laws older brothers friend on facebook says its all true.
Burning flesh is a smell that I will never forget. Burning shit on the other hand stinks but is no where near as bad as you would think.
"smells like burning human bodies"
*lenny face intensifies*
I have to say, you may have saved my house from burning down. I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and your videos have gotten me thinking more about the safety of lithium-ion batteries, and I noticed that my laptop was kind of rocking on the desk instead of lying flat, and sure enough, the battery (an OEM Dell unit, even) was bulging out. So I got rid of that right away and a replacement should be arriving tomorrow. Thank you for being both educational and fun, keep it up.
"Given the crap that I normally eat, this is perfectly fine."
Scary and fascinating at the same time. You never disappoint. 8)
I'm glad you used the term "Hot Dog" instead of "Weiner". Many of your comments would sound so different if you had used Weiner!!!
"We're running these Weiners well above their rated voltage"
"American Weiners are thicker than British Weiners"
"Those Weiners have exploded forcibly everywhere."
Just look at the mess left behind by those weiners
*Wiener
lmao
"This weiner has squirted in my mouth"
The weiner squirted in my mouth...
So... hotdogs have a particular voltage rating.
Makes sense.
Nobody:

Grizzled and yet here we are
(Bang, clatter, pop, ominous arcing sound, clouds of smoke) "OK, right, I'd say that's them ready!"
But electricity changes the chemisty of Food.
@@Beaks-gw2iz So does heat from other sources.
@@JimFortune But its like poison i think? Why Dont the hotdog turns black on the one Negative pole and an other colour at the positive?And there is salt in the hot dogs Why doesent it smell like bleach??
@@Beaks-gw2iz It's AC current, so the Negative and Positive switch 50 times a second.
Next try it with dc. With a cap you get double the power
Clive, only you in your style of verbal description could say " We're running these hot dogs well above their rated voltage " and get away with it!
Another classic for the best of reel - Clive's classics......
7:45 Hahahahaha
"To be honest, given the crap that I normally eat, this is perfectly fine".
Michael Angellotti what do you normally eat then Tesco value ready meals
@@drphil7024 Taco Hell, perhaps?
I'm American, and I wouldn't touch those cans with a 90ft pole.
close your mouth bro, your making up look like stuck up pansies.
@Damian Ugh! Yeah I remember that nasty ass shit. Never touched it.
What is that in meter?
@@pnadk 27m
Also you could've just searched ft to meters conversion ;)
@Damian lol I used to love those little wieners!
So, british hotdogs are fast-blow and american ones are time delayed. Interesting.
Davide Di Leonardo Lest ye forget: The American ones are larger, too!
and the american weiners are fatter/more plump.. just like american weiners
"we're going to see the flavour - but, more important, we're gonna see how much current they draw." Big Clive 2019.
As long as the hotdog squirts it's salty liquid into your mouth, you're doing it right! :D
"It smells like burning human bodies" Well that was disturbing lol
yes, odd frame of reference, does Clive KNOW what a Belson Barbeque smells of?
LOL "To be honest given the crap I normally eat this is perfectly fine" ;-D
no shit i read this comment as he said
Burning human bodies
We once tried that at 400V. Exploded violently right after switching on, blew the 25A fuse.
Oh, 3 sausages on a Y/delta switch. Preheat in Y, switch to delta, loud bang and explosion.
You making that up.
Sounds legit to me. You don't want to drop your wiener direct online.
Nope. Showed the apprentice how to wire up a motor to said switch. For some unknown reason that might have involved beer, later the motor windings were exchanged by 3 sausages.
Never ever a dull moment on Clive's channel. Well done Sir.
A friend from the UK actually came to visit the states recently, first thing he asked for was to see why we're so obsessed with hot dogs. He soon found out, he says the hot dogs in the cans are garbage in comparison.
When the tab called pulled I was hoping so bad for a "nice hiss".
Another Steve fan, we are everywhere lol
If it is any consolation, the dogs hissed as they were terminated...
Ah so the Steve army is growing
@@not0the0face0369 Soon, we will be everywhere. And if Clive and Steve evvver meet, it will be SPECTACULAR!
Lets get these hot dogs out onto a tray, nice!
Hotdogs NEVER come in cans.WAIT?! HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT BURNING HUMAN BODIES SMELL LIKE?
Ask, and ye shall receive. ua-cam.com/video/aPqHs6TpNug/v-deo.html
From all the times I forgot that I'm holding the wire I'm trying to solder I found out that burning flesh smells a lot like bacon.
Nope, and I don't want to know. When my mother microwaved hot dogs in the microwave, she took it too far, and they burst at the ends like exploded cigars. They smelled like burnt bandaids. It often made me lose my appetite.
I typed that a little fast. Where else would you microwave hot dogs but in a microwave? Radar transmitter maybe?
While soldering I've burned myself many times, and you get this nauseating burning flesh smell that's kinda reminicent of burnt pork.
I can't eat or cook pork anymore as a result, it brings back this smell every time and it disgusts me.
No one:
YT recommendations: SAUSAGES BEING ELECTROCUTED
I love watching these and listening to your voice. Very pleasant, and the accent is charming. Electronics is so interesting, I wish I continued it past high school.
Anyways... Well done!
The (unintentional?) puns and double entendres in this video have me doubled over. Thank you Clive. You’ve brought some relief to the crushing despair and anxiety I’m normally feeling lately.
Everything will be alright, you're not alone.
Hope you will be feeling better soon, buddy. Us subscribers are like a "band of brothers". You are not alone, brother.
Well thanks you guys :) I really appreciate that.
"They have started to explode, they must be ready" what gets me is that the "Price on these sores through the roof on eBay", electrocution chamber for hot dogs for sale on eBay, imagine that. Keep broadcasting!!
It's almost like watching Bottom - oven door flies open violently: "Hey my Sprouts Mexicane must be ready!"
Wonderful video as usual!
This inspired me to buy one of these from the US to use as part of my inaugural talks on electrical safety at the University, and to simulate how current can pass through flesh!
What's interesting about Presto is that most of their products are designed so that they can be separated from the electrical connection and be fully submersed for cleaning.
Clive! Thanks for giving me a laugh. This must be the funniest test you have ever done! Thanks from Mike (Full of Covid at moment!)
Can't see... crying with laughter too much...
Best. Video. Ever.
Me too
As an electrician usually I use German sausages in the Siemens fused disconnects that I install rather then shelling out the money for fuses especially under 60A.
Those fuses are definitely fat enough you can replace them with some wurst.
Wanted to say thanks for the mastication alert! I'm not a fan of those kinds of sounds, so the alert is very appreciated :)
this is the best thing i've seen in a very long time.
Next up: ElectroBOOM makes a DIY Hot-Dogger.
and shocks or burns himself doing so.
it would legit blow up in his face.
now that i can believe
This is second on the list of funniest vids now with Fanny Flambeu at No 1. Just showed it to a friend I haven't seen for a while and they were crying with laughter.
Your personality earned you a sub my sir
You just gotta love Clive, absolutely entertaining.
I look forward to his videos as they are informative and fun to watch.
Thumbs up Big Clive.
😁😀😎
British Vs American Hotdogs? Made in Holland! 😃
well, it should say the Netherlands, holland is a province (north-holland and south-holland)
Proper American hotdogs should probably be made in China like all of our flags and 4th of July decorations.
The netherlands is somewhat of a world leader when it comes to these types of cheap meats. Mechanically separated meat is a dutch invention.
Gewoon knakworst ;)
HOW DARE THEY?????????
Great video, Clive. As an American, may I say that there are many kinds of American hot dogs but basically they fall into four kinds; Franks (made from pure beef), Wieners (made from mostly Pork), and more recently; Turkey and Chicken hot dogs for those who want healthier fare, (not counting veggie dogs which I don't count as real hot dogs).
I prefer Oscar Mayer brand Angus beef franks which are also skinless (some hot dogs have a natural casing like sausages) and uncured (i.e. no brine). Also, you can't enjoy a real American hot dog experience without eating it with a hot dog bun and your favorite condiment topping, which might be Ketchup (Catsup), Mustard, Relish, Sauerkraut, chopped Onions, Chili, Pickle spear, Banana Pepper, liquid Cheddar (Nacho) cheese, etc; or any combination thereof.
Hot dogs should also be served with Potato Chips (crisps), or Potato Sticks (either on the side or as a topping) or French Fries (chips) on the side.
American hot dogs are usually found vacuum packed and in the refrigerated section of our grocery store.
For the best flavor, I score them with a knife, boil them for 7 minutes and then cook them on the grill till they have grill marks on them. Delicious! :) You should try them that way sometime.
11 PM: just one more video...
3 AM: hotdog electrocution challenge
Thank you for the mastication alert. That was the most disturbing part of this video. I'm glad I had the volume turned down
"argh it squirted in my mouth"
clive 2019
That wasn't what he said..... He said it scorched his mouth.
That is the entire point of putting a hotdog in one's mouth ;)
why would he say " that don't sound good" Then say it was pressurized" If it was innocent :P @@eidodk
Gawd!
*Sparks... Smoke.... FLAME... KABOOM* ID SAY THATS THEM READY NOW!! O_O
Absolutely brilliant, that was so funny 😂 I guess they tasted crite nice?
Fantastically brilliant video Clive ❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
That is so awesome! Great video!
BigCliveDotCom you have the best show for running in the background for lonely people like me.
When I was in elementary school the local electrical utility, Public Service company of Oklahoma or PSO... a division of American Electric Power or AEP, came and put 15kV through a variety of things with a huge cart mounted isolation transformer hooked to the pole outside.
They used really cheap squishy hot dogs for maximum blast.
That sounds awesome! In West Virginia, Union Carbide used to freeze everyday objects with liquid nitrogen and do experiments on them. They would pound a large nail into a piece of wood with a frozen banana called "the banana hammer", they shattered a frozen hi-bounce ball like it was glass, and they broke a frozen rose.
Was it like a PSA sort of deal to stop kids screwing around at the transformers? In our science class in the UK we cover electric and the math around it, also the dangers. A similar hot dog 'experiment' was done at my school lol. Very messy.
@@danner253 Yeah, it's an IRL PSA. Just search for live wire demo.
And this is another video of his that make his channel one of my top 10 favorites.
Clearly, you scared the 'spice' out of them with that current! 👀
At least the Power Factor remained at unity, so the smart meter won't make you pay more for the process!
Thanks BC.
"Meat paste extruded finger things"....lamp, classic BigClive!
a new band name....!!!
damn you beat me to it.
@@nonofyourbusiness7384 BigClive made me do it. :)
This is the perfect thing for me to watch while having a nice Walmart TV dinner.
I cant believe you took the time to make that box. Amazed you can draw so much current without blowing your electrics or that poor meter. I would have thought they would have tasted of electric.
60 years, and I've never seen canned hot dogs in America, ever.
we do have them, often by the sardines. basically just little stick baloney, but yeah not a big packaging trend on this side of the lake.
@@Tramwithacam I've seen "Vienna sausages" there, but that's it.
Clive, the hot dog video had me smiling like a dork the whole time and now my smiley muscles are sore. See what you do to me when you are trashed! Affectionally, Mr. Paul
So many options for inuendo, so little time! 😇
Clive, your shows are wonderful.
Love your videos.
Your voice and presentation is like a mix between Ashens and Scott Manley. Pretty damn entertaining.
Also, what accent is this? I kinda like it.
Scottish.
@@bigclivedotcom Thanks for the reply, i thought so but i also kinda expected some kind of obscure US accent.
Cheers.
Nice one Clive, actually made me laugh out loud. Cheers!
me too haha
I had to contain my laughter as it is in the middle of the night here :)
NEVER EVER lick sticky salty stuff that comes out of an american sausage..
What is wrong with you !! :o
But that's the best part.....
12 beers later. you still taste it..
Cannot be unread. Thanks
Haha Brilliant observation of the time stamps :)
Love ya clive though, you hairy sausage eating maniac genius electrician..
@Dave Micolichek Isn't that pretty much the definition of sausage though? That's the whole point of sausage, to use up the leftover bits. Although those hotdogs don't use natural casings, so they really don't have 'assholes'
"Mechanically separated chicken" - Run away.
all the grot and muck...i used to like these things some years ago but stopped eating them as i kept finding more and more bits of bone in them 😷 plastic packed ones from aldi seem much better....
chud67bbc run away? Pansy....nothing more delicious than rendered animal flesh
"It tastes exactly like these things taste" is probably the best description of hot dogs I've ever heard
Your microphone picks up your teeth clacking together as you chew and it's disturbingly fantastic.
Its intentional ahah
I don't know man...watching sausage party on YT at 1:00AM, alone...what have I become...
It literally just turned 1AM here XD
Wow I'm the third to 1am watch it eh?
oh god no i have traumatic memories of that film XD
this is internet gold!!! he deserves an award, funniest thing I have seen in a long time!!!
😂 Hahahaha! I love your video! Best hot dog cooker video since Mr. Wizard.
when you plugged in the hot dogger my lights started flickering and then my power shut off for a second, perfect timing
Neat! Hotdogs have a negative temperature coefficient, and then they get a positive one at a certain point.
I don't know why but I am glad this video is in my life.
So much joy.
Quiet near to an ASMR.
The British hotdogs have the handicap of us not having a history of electrocuting people to draw upon.
Next in this series has got to be Clive's own build of a Manx hotdogger. The internet requires it.
There should be a competition between Clive, AVE, ElectroBoom, EEVBlog, and any of the other electrical engineering youtubers that want in, to see who can make a quicker one. Bonus categories of "Most Violent", "Style", & "Fan Favourite"
@@nodrogstacey7813 must include Great Scott!
@@nodrogstacey7813 More volts = more available amps. For single hot dog cooking a single Microwave Oven transformer should get you there in about 5 seconds; the temptation is to run two MOTs in an output centre-commoned arrangement (gives around 3.5 - 4kv without the multiplier circuitry), and try cooking a "series chain" of hot dogs. Extra points for flashover!! :=D
I don't know if Costco sells them in the UK, but the house brand/Kirkland Signature 1/4 pound hot dogs are among the best available in the US imo. They are also like 3 times the size of these, which is fitting for a Costco product.
they are in fact pretty tasty... The wife and I go for "pizza-dog" when we go to costco. Hot dog w/fountain drink, and a slice.
They could name them "Big Chubbys" which squirt copious amounts of juicy goodness in your mouth.
James Plotkin They ejaculate a questionable substance in your mouth and they taste vile. I’ve heard the meat being described as skin from a homeless persons feet.
@@whangie1 At least those homeless people are being given jobs.
i going to start calling my hotdogs extruded meat fingers from now on.
You know, your voice is so lovely, if you made a second channel of you narrating short stories I would definitely subscribe.
@7:00 - looks a lot like those hot dogs are sparking (might even be glow from the sodium in the brine breaking down with that amount of electrical current flowing).
I'd bet that device could probably be used for the 'glowing gherkin' (pickle) experiment too, with similar results
Aw jeez now he's gotta electrocute a pickle!
Pumping three kilowatts through a sausage does sound rather terrifying!
Never seen a hotdog detonate till now. Thank you big Clive!
"It tastes much like these things taste"
-Big Clive, 2019
our power company did a presentation at my school when I was really young where they threw a hotdog on a live current and went "thats pretty much what you would smell like"
it certainly stuck with me!
yummy
That hot dogger is one heck of a post-apocalyptic gadget. Clive, keep ‘em coming.
Why am I imagining a mad max style character with one of these strapped to their armour to stun enemies
"...and one of them is burning. Excellent!" lol!! 😅
You, sir, are amazing
