Pretty sure one day I'll see you on the news for either a groundbreaking scientific discovery or for leaving a giant crater where your house used to be :P
BestAtNothing Should there ever be a massive gamma ray burst being blasted out into space, or an electromagnetic pulse knocking out the entire world's electrical grid, then we'll know who to blame.
That's if he doesn't die of lung cancer or acute pulmonary oedema caused by breathing in all those nanoscale particles created by him vaporising stuff.
ClumzorZ he could build an electric chair and try to vaporize manikins or even tickle me Elmo because I hate tickle me Elmo and tickle me Elmo needs to be vaporized to dust
I'd like to know if my calculations are close: Using some of the numbers he said, we can figure out the following. Let's assume a discharge time of 10mS and energy of 8,000J (80%). Watt = J/S, so we get 8,000/0.001 = 8MW Watt = V*I, I = W/V = 8,000,000W/800V = 10,000Amps!
10KAmps @ 800V...8 megawatt.....yeah fuck that That's at least as much or more energy than the arc flash fatality video where a plant worker in Chile was racking the breaker for a cabinet of lower line power. I'm told the breaker was rated maximum 14.4KV @ 500A but its nominal operating power was 13.8KV @ 400A. So 5.52 Megawatts. However an arc flash is where it's momentarily much, much greater than that...and uh, all that was left of the guy was his left hand and his left foot and leg up just below the knee with the shoe still on, and the sock and remaining section of pant leg singed to it. That flame cloud was his body getting disintegrated in 1/64th of a second and spewing ash all over as the lights went out. Why they felt they had to rack it while the main power was on is beyond me. Data center or hospital? Even so I can't imagine the line power staying on once the contacts explosively ablated. It's enough to scare a huge bear, it should scare people too.
Tackyinbention shushi: yeah but the Hacksmith used smaller capacitors and didn’t even fully charge them due to fear of violating Canadian law. Styro isn’t limited by any such laws, so I assume his version of a rail gun would easily break the sound barrier, whereas the hacksmith basically had an air rifle.
depends on how conductive the hot dog is. If its more than a couple kilo ohms it won’t blow up it’ll just cook. The danger with that bank is just the high voltage high current that it can pass through your heart
So, with that capacitor bank, are we talking like-- _lightning level_ energy? Forgive me if that's a stupid question. My scientific knowledge does not lie in this area.
His capacitor bank is 10kJ. The average energy of a medium lightning strike ranges from one billion to ten billion joules. You'll need 100 000 banks like this one to get close. (a rough guess)
allow me to attempt to inform you of the scale of this, in terms even I can understand... ever see dirty harry? remember how he killed everyone he killed with one or two shots? well, each bullet from dirty harry's .44 magnum was equivelent to about 1,000 joules or one kilojoule of kinetic energy. so basically, imagine Dirty Harry shooting someone ten times just cause he can and you have about the full power of the bank.
I feel like you could easily trick a burglar into touching that while you're on vacation. Just disguise it as a table and put some valuables on top of the metal plates. In all seriousness, it would be more likely to burn your house down or slap you with a $280,000 electric bill than stop a burglary.
@@Hunteratloppshop Can't get arrested for that crime if there's no body left to find. Only downside is that you'll have to clean the whole room from all that human confetti...
"I like to keep one hand behind my back while playing with high voltage" this is very smart because if you grab it with both there's no letting go but one there's a chance, well, with this shit, no
it's to avoid current going across the chest/heart. if the circuit goes through both arms then the heart is likely going to be affected. although for something like this, it may not matter too much...
It's probably because American colleges are a huge waste of time/money if you are smart. If you can make money doing what you love, there's literally no reason to go to college.
He's doing a PhD in Optics (said in a different video). I'm guessing he's back at home to work on a project that he can't work on in the city. Remember, "City folk don't take kindly to explosions, even small ones".
With capacitors, current output is HUGE (most of the time). Using some of the numbers he said, we can figure out the following. Let's assume a discharge time of 10mS and energy of 8,000J (80%). Watt = J/S, so we get 8,000/0.001 = 8MW Watt = V*I, I = W/V = 8,000,000W/800V = 10,000Amps!
VE E & LazerLord are correct. Also, consider the items being exploded. None of them have much mass to them. And the explosions are hitting those bars edge on. That means minimal surface area to act on to push them. And even more force would be exerted down (because of the larger surface area), which would bend the bars. We don't see significant bending. Lastly, you can see in the first part that those bars are bolted down. It would take a notable amount of effort to rotate them apart. The magnetic force is acting all along the bar's length, and 100% of it would be pushing them apart. The energy of the explosion is mostly going to go into heat and vaporization. Thank you for reading this needlessly complicated analysis.
Scott R i dont think so still because the can split in half pushing the rods appart. Even tje first time when the can just blew open the rods moved a lot, i propose from the air pressure in the blast. The aluminum foil on the other hand even at one of the higher power settings barley shook the rods. Even though magnitism is being generated that does not mean that it is behind the rods movement. So i think its more likely the explosions are moving the rods. This could be tested with an experiment. By putting aluminum foil on the rods a gew times in a row to see if the rods move apart more. We already know the can blasts them apart.
Eli Kelley the air would still force the prongs in the direction of where the most surface area is. Pushing apart like that is definitely magnetic fields.
Eli Kelley I'll concede that the foil moving it less doesn't support my theory well. If i had to guess, I'd postulate that it's because the foil explodes too quickly, and so the full energy isn't getting discharged. Even though we often analyze these situations by saying that the charge is released "Instantaneously," that's not really the case. The components will all have a finite resistance which can be measured. It's pretty small, but it's there. taking V=IR, we can get the current from that resistance, which gives us a rate of discharge. Notably, resistance increases as the material is thinner, so foil will have more resistance than the can. We can also determine the power being "dissipated" by the resistance of the foil from P=IV. Power is measured in energy per time, and the energy lost is going towards heating the foil, until kablooey. So we have a race condition. If the total energy dissapated reaches the kablooey point of the foil before the current drains the energy, we don't get a full discharge, and thus wouldn't get as much movement. Though, on typing all of this out, it occurs to me that i may be over-thinking it. V is constant, set by the capacitor charge. Thus, with a higher resistance from the foil, we necessarily get less current. Magnetic field is proportional to the current, and the force acting on a current from the magnetic field is F = ILxB, linearly dependent on both current and magnetic field. Thus it's quadratically dependent on the original current. Resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area, so if the foil is, say, half as thick as the can, we get 1/4 of the force between the two! Yeah, that feels more like it. And if you've stuck all the way through this explanation, here, have a cookie. Thanks for following my train of thought.
By the right hand rule you will see that opposing currents repel. The current on one rail is repelled by the magnetic field produced by the other rail. I drew you a picture: styropyro.com/field.png
I had a weird flashback to a physics lesson where my colleague put his tongue in between electrodes of an electrostatic machine. Now I can't help but imagine what would happen to him here.
Imagine some robbers breaking into this dude’s house, walking into this room, and suddenly having his chest burned away by Styropyro holding a laser gun powered by a 100% pulse from that bank
"Lethal is an understatement for something like this. Touching this thing would probably vaporize all your organs, and there is absolutely no coming back from that." Noice
Could you imagine miniaturizing that (20 years for that, maybe?) and making it possible to jab stuff with two sharp electrodes from a distance before closing the circuit? That'd be great.
I was thinking, what if both that positive and negative connections were to touch the legs of the table they are sitting on? Seams like a over looked issue to me. Maybe coat the legs in rubber of some kind for your sake.

throw a steak or hotdog on it
I like how since you are buried in the ocean of comments no one recognizes you XD
Hi Kevin
The aluminum foil turned into gas!
i wonder if it would explode. the hotdog probably because of the thing skin on it but I think it would just flash cook the steak.
It would turn into ashes after a bang
"It's absolutely terrifying so I think we should play around with this thing a bit."
Yes, let's do that. Exactly what I was thinking.

Watt = V*I, I = W/V = 8,000,000W/800V = 10,000Amps!
LazerLord10 english
think about a top fuel car which has roughly the same amount of continous power
So each discharge works out to the equivalent of about half a gram of sugar.
10KAmps @ 800V...8 megawatt.....yeah fuck that
That's at least as much or more energy than the arc flash fatality video where a plant worker in Chile was racking the breaker for a cabinet of lower line power. I'm told the breaker was rated maximum 14.4KV @ 500A but its nominal operating power was 13.8KV @ 400A. So 5.52 Megawatts.

It's enough to scare a huge bear, it should scare people too.
I think that you many have a problem with 8,000/0.001 because it should be 8,000/0.01 because what you put I think means one millisecond and not ten.
Note to self: Vaporization of organs is bad.

Lasers travel at the speed of light xD
jycannel true, but this is not a laser, it's a laser power supply

Try put a hot dog on that thing
I was thinking that as the video ended... typical substitute for a finger when demonstrating the efficacy of woodworking safety gizmos.
though finger isn't hotdog, it's more..fragile
he isnt a japanese guy man. dont request something like that

The lightning causes the air around it to heat upto the same as a solar flare, so, the answer to ur question is no. And that wasnt stupid lol
To put in further comparison, it is roughly 0.8% of the power of a hand grenade
Anatoly Sazanov aren’t there stories of people surviving lightning strikes? How the hell does that work then lmao
wish you had at least weekly uploads man. Id watch them all :D

Pretty sad tbh
Make it clearly dangerous, but still put valuables on hanging over it, that way if he dies, it's from stupidity rather than a trap.

aluminum foil vaporized 0.0 gawd dam.
10 KJ is 10,000 watts, that’s absolutely crazy.
Watts are 1J for 1s but this pulse probably goes for 1ms, so the peak power is about 10 megawatts or even more.

Oh yeah, I forgot that watts are measured as power over time, instead of pure power.

"aluminum foil..."
*BANG*
*aluminum powder settles*
not really sure why you would even want to mess with stuff like this. its so scary how can it even be fun
I thought I was the only one who did the hand behind the back thing.
Is there a reason?
it's the difference between blowing up your hand vs your heart.
it's to avoid current going across the chest/heart. if the circuit goes through both arms then the heart is likely going to be affected. although for something like this, it may not matter too much...
Hearts stopping due to massive amounts of energy across its fleshy tomb isn't very life supporting >.
styropyro You're amazing. ^_^
Keeping a hand behind your back is a very smart idea, that way the current can't go straight through your body
so ...... whats the eta till you blow up the moon and take earth as your hostage ?

Could you imagine miniaturizing that (20 years for that, maybe?) and making it possible to jab stuff with two sharp electrodes from a distance before closing the circuit? That'd be great.
Where is Frankenstein? That looks way too scary! You got some big huevos! I'll probably die within 2 minutes of being in you shop... Lol!
the aluminium foil thing was awesome! Can you do more stuff like that?

I was thinking, what if both that positive and negative connections were to touch the legs of the table they are sitting on? Seams like a over looked issue to me. Maybe coat the legs in rubber of some kind for your sake.
The legs are grounded, so if anything charged comes in contact with them, the charge will simply flow to ground.
Good call.
