@@drainman12 I'm glad you like the videos. The reason I haven't done new videos lately as my Canon battery doesn't hold a charge long enough to do a video for more than a few minutes (it's 12 years old now) and there's too many fake replacements that claim much higher mAh ratings only for people to come back and say its like 1/2 of the original which is 1000mAh. A proper Canon replacement is around $100, so not sure its worth spending $100+ on a 12 year old camera. I've also been busy with other things, however I do have several videos that I want to do if I ever get the camera situation sorted out.
The water is a lot less conductive than touching two wires together, adding salt would increase this conductivity but still would not be a direct short. I suggest you go check out Electroboom for a way better explanation on this.
Electricity takes all possible paths. Water is a possible path but it's resistance is high. Minerals and salts in water may reduce water's resistance. And nost if not all the wires are coated with insulation which as the name implies prevents current from flowing into the water. If there is a terminal qere the wires got and the terminal's metal is exposed to air, then when submerged those small sections of metal may conduct but current but water is still a relatively poor conductor.
Why wouldn't it work? Most electromechanical things do under the water 😅 virtually nothing it can short against and it's going to be fairly well insulated
Homemade Jacuzzi
omg ive wanted to see someone try this for ages
water washes the oil from the bearings they will then also rust and the motor will fail
Doesn't matter.. I got a ton of these motors.., maybe some day after it rusts I'll do a video trying to power it up again :D
@@HL4EHalfLife please make more videos

Good experiment!
So what happened to the motor? Did it rust?
Just been sitting around doing nothing, I might try to fire it up one of these days.
@@HL4EHalfLife ok. keep us posted! thanks
@@HL4EHalfLife Did the water heat up because of the motor
@@frommarkham424 No, wasn't run nearly long enough.
Nice! I wish I can find those small ac vacuum motors,Stay safe! the virus is still out there.The Pandemic needs to be over already.
10amps,through those little wires?
Magnets might be affecting motor a tiny amount
There 14 gauge wire rated for 15 amps.
Try a 5 gallon bucket should be tall enough
I think bubbles are H2 and O2
You should try a round container for the water
The propeller was cavitating, causing the water to boil
9:15
Looks like a sebo bs360 motor
THATS CRAZY!!
Dry up the iron spring of the brushess they rusting very quickly. otherwise the brushes will no longer press the commutator
I have a sharpener motor Ac 120v I want to run Ac motor to DC.
Those bearings have trashed themselves
Don't try this at home
Even though he's at home lol
Hah, I like that.
he's in his garage, he knows what he's doing, he doesn't want inexperienced people to do this and possibly cause house fire.
no overheating issues lol
why no short circuit?

You should let it wear in at 45000 rpm
What vacuum brand was this motor from?
its got a dual fan so i say some sort of sharp
is this distilled water?
No, just regular ol tap water.
Got to remember all that electricity and water going to create hydrogen by the very very bottom I might not be are it will create hydrogen
Why wouldn't it work? Most electromechanical things do under the water 😅 virtually nothing it can short against and it's going to be fairly well insulated
@HoldenVTCalais sure, if there is mineral
What if you blew it out under water!
What do you mean?
@@HL4EHalfLife I suspect he means overvolting it under water.
