Hello all! I drew the 10 winners for the MEEETAAAs between Patrons and viewers! Here is the list, which I have already contacted: - Marino S. - Yes Sir - Justin Bro. - TheLugal - Kevin Jo. - Guillaume No. - Patrik Kl. - Nate Pa. - MyDynamik1 - Mason Co. Have fun everyone!
Thank u for the like! I am currently binge watching your videos! I saw the 1 million subscriber video. You should sing a song in Persian sometime! Ya got a great singing voice
I can almost never understand what's actually going on here because I have such a small grasp on electricity. But I can't stop watching them. I love watching these videos, I feel like I actually learn a little bit
Mehdi, I just recently graduated with my Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. Watching your videos makes me even more proud of being a Electrical Engineer. Please keep 'em coming lol.
Hey All! at 10:10 I said the current is leading in an inductor, where it is clear in the scope capture that it is lagging, which is correct! Not everything on the right side is leading... time starts at the left side of the screen and increments to the right, like any normal plot!
Hi Mehdi, can you just look into a product that says it can decrease current consumption and thus reduce the cost of paying utility bills? I don't have the equipment to test it at home... This is the box it came in photos.app.goo.gl/OWe8679034jHoOWg2
You are the Best teacher i have witnessed In a lifetime of YT education! Doing things like wire in mouth. "Shock" a ignorant brain into retaining the important information you quickly inject. You knowingly burned yourself in the same video to remind those of potential dangers. Combining Entertainment and knowledge at a fast pace. This is the first video i have seen by you , And you have earned my first ever Comment as well as a lifetime Sub! I hope you go Viral and NEVER stop Teaching!
Squid SQuiddly Same..wish i had a professor like him but instead my professors were paranoid beings who wont even let us work on high power labs like power system (advance) lab,etc and our role was only to note reading while lab attendants do all the interesting stuffs!
Actually the current in MOT looks like that because iron core is too small and it begins to saturate near to the peaks of input voltage. Microwave oven manufacturers try to save money as much as possible, and transformer steel is not cheap. Hope this comment doesn't get lost in gimmie shit. UPD: to not get you confused, of course I meant "near the voltage peaks considering the phase shift between voltage and current". Thanks for likes, guys!
Also there is a simple way to show this: take small (5-10VA) 220-12V iron core step down transformer, and slowly raise the voltage on its 12v winding with your variac, starting at 0V, monitoring the current; if the transformer is good, at 12v you will see nearly a sine wave current, but as you will go higher, the current will become more and more like shown in the video, because beyond nominal voltage the core will start to saturate.
actually from experience not that much or not at all, the temperature will be very high but for short time like a flash and something will break the circuit so just the outer layer of the skin is burned up and you you just left up with shame and the bad smell.
@@mmawad100I've burnt myself with a wire before During the burning it didn't hurt, but it "felt very wrong", can't really describe it Afterwards it started hurting more and more and the pain increased continuously for like 12 hours After that it started dropping but it was still kinda painful for a while (days) It wasn't super bad, it's like cutting yourself with a knife a bit, like on accident in a kitchen
Can I just say, 6 years later I'm finding your videos very helpful. Thankyou for making them and while I appreciate the humour I really needed the science in it too! thankyou
I know I missed the drawing, but you still deserve kudos for a funny, engaging, informative video for up and coming electrogeeks like me. They are of filled w knowledge and humor such that I can't wait to binge watch all your vids. John
I can’t believe how interesting learning is ..... I can’t stop watching and the sad thing is I’m learning so much from this guy 😭😭😭 wish he was my teacher in college lol
I know you're very smart. And the seemingly dangerous things you do are done knowing the limits. But my ass was puckered tight none the less when you reached for that live wire, fully knowing you were going to get burned.
The clock behind was like watching time porn. So interesting comparing the real time with the video's time. Shows how much work each video takes. Great job Mr Boom!
It's really, really weird that Mehdi released this video now. For the first time in my life I have needed to measure some 12V loads at greater than 10Amps because of some LED bars I'm using. This was a week before the video was released. I knew I subscribed for a reason!
I used some 12ga wire, and a couple of spare banana plugs to make a shunt to install across my DMM's 10A current meter inputs. I used a power supply and 2-ohm power resistor to put 1.000A through the current meter, then adjusted the length of my shunt until the meter read about 0.1A, with 1.0A actually flowing through it (divide by 10). I had to trim and resolder the wire multiple times, but after about 5 tries, I got to 0.098A and called it good. This allows me to make current measurements beyond the range of the DMM with reasonable accuracy (5% maybe?). This shunt only works with this one particular DMM, and only on the full DC-amp (not mA or uA) rotary switch setting. I don't think I would use this to measure anything over about 40A for any extended period. The shunt would start to heat, and it's resistance will increase, causing error. I always plug the shunt into the DMM first, then the leads into the top of the banana plugs of the shunt. That way, I don't pop a fuse on the DMM if the shunt comes loose.
Actually, the current is delayed in relation to the voltage. The scope waves seems like its the other way around, but the curve that comes "first" (when looking from left to right) is the actual leading wave.
Holy SHUNT. Those finger burns are nothing to play around with... I have a few workable meters, but getting a decent oscilloscope would be the SHUNT. I could put that to use in my audio endeavors, particular when I have a power amp acting up.
It's all fun and all that he gets electrocuted from time to time but he surely knew this was going to happen. I would advice him not to do these things or step down the voltage beforehand so he won't get burnt and it would still be equally funny. Mehdi, I like your videos even with less explosions, just want you to be safe.
Dude I love these videos. People on here may think your unknowledgeable but they have no clue. I work for Eaton as an electrical tester and I can tell you know your stuff. Keep up the videos man I get great enjoyment out of them and learn a little at the same time.

10:09 "The Yellow current line is leading the voltage green line as should happen in an inductor" But in an inductor, Voltage always leads the current by 90 degrees

I think it was just a bad choice of words. "Leading" as in "being further ahead on the time scale", which translates into being late, or lagging. That's my take on it
Of all of the Electrical Shunt videos on UA-cam, I chose this gentleman's because along with the theory of operation, I knew from previous experience, that I would also be entertained by sparks, fire, and burns.
My very low income friend just blew up my meter. He replaced it with a $10 harbor freight one. Also Mehdi, my friend who teaches electronics uses your videos in his class.

I'm homeless but I carry my little mobile electronics lab with me. I have a decent oscilloscope and tools, it's a work-in-progress.... But I would really really really love to have a nice multimeter! I never win these things and even if I don't win, I still love your videos! I watch every single one sometimes multiple times, you always cheer me up. Much love!
ik everyone wants to have da meeta... but did anyone notice that he actually BURNT THAT WIRE INTO HIS SKIN?? papa was an electrician, was a little worried there that you've genuinely hurt yourself. next video, show how your fingers healed :D
Yeah I always thought all the grabbing of burny bits was more sleight of hand, for our amusement... not so sure now I kinda feel bad for encouraging this kind of behavior. But I’ll still gladly take a meeta:)
You know, some people really enjoy to feel pain. In almost all of his videos you can see him getting electrocuted or burned so either he's very stupid, which I know he's not, or he's sadomasochist. I bet he's having a donjon room in his house... :P
I think it's more he sets MOST of those up, yes he usually gets bit, but he designs the skit with that in mind to mitigate most of the risks. I do not think he MEANT to do this one, though. This one is probably the worst, or second worst, him grabbing the falling MOT jacob's ladder was probably not planned, either
Subbed and this is the 3rd video I've watched of yours so far... You are a very funny guy, and very informative whilst happy to continually electrocute yourself for our amusement lol! That burn in this video looks a little hurtie, hurtie though 🤬 lol. Cheers from down under. Melbourne, Australia.

silver already melted, grass is shipping with the abrasives, all the necessary tools are ready, i'm only 15 lol i'm out of money, just the glass blowed up my budget so.. a lot of hard work coming
He's setting his autotransformer to 100 amps despite the side saying the fuse is rated for 25 amps. So I'm guessing the smoke from his transformer would be from the wire he used in place of the fuse to let more than 25 amps through. In other words, the illusion of stupidity is broken!
Nothing\ no! The 25amps is the maximum input current and not the output current. So 25 amps at 120v which equals a power of 3000 watts. So as long as the output power is less than that, you are good to go ans everything is safe.
Amazing Tech - What you said would be true for a transformer with separate primary and secondary windings, with VA-in equals VA-out. But since this is an auto transformer, there is just one winding and a carbon brush. The winding and brush current rating is limited to some maximum value, regardless of the voltage setting, otherwise you will let the smoke out.
The smoke and a spark at one point, seemed to be coming from the point where the carbon brush touches the transformer windings. This point is usually the failure point due to the resistance of the sliding contact. And an auto-transformer isn't an exception to any rules. If you have a transformer with 2 windings that takes 120V/25A(3kw) input and it's rated to output 100V/30A(3kw), and then you load the secondary down to the point where it is outputting 30V/100A(3kw) the transformer will probably go up in smoke. It's still outputting the same power but the secondary wire isn't thick enough to handle the extra current, even though it's the same amount of power. This applies to an auto-transformer/variac just as well. Since it's a single winding of a single thickness of wire, there is a point where the current flow will be too much for the wire thickness to handle, it will get hot, and it will fail. This maximum current point is independent of where you have the output voltage set and at lower voltages can occur well below the rated power output. The resistance of the carbon brush contact also has current capability that is independent of the voltage. Current flowing through a resistor creates heat. The copper transformer windings, the carbon brush, the connections inside, ect., all have some parasitic resistance and therefore have a maximum current carrying capability that is independent of the output voltage. The variac isn't an exception to any rules, it's just following the same ones that apply to any other transformer or circuit in general.

My old electrical engineering professor always say with transformers: "Once your transformer starts smoking; it's hard to put the smoke back in."
Yeah because it means the insulator has burned off, causing short circuits in various places. There's no good way to fix that.
John Michael Stock no shit. It’s a joke
Yeah. There's a little truth on that. Unfortunately, Transformers don't have any opening to refill that smoke ;)
you let out the factory smoke!! you cant fix that!
Every electronic component works with smoke, but once it's out it's broken. And they added no refill valves because the want you to buy new parts

7:25 “Unfortunately, I’m in luck” lol
He said "and fortunately", not "unfortunately"
@@user-lg7cb6sr5z I know you're right but I don't want to believe you
Half a mether
another advantage of the shunt is that you can pluck the voltage off and feed it into an A to D converter, Arduino, etc for monitoring and recording.
0:44 there's a beep without his mouth moving, maybe the resistor got offended and swore because a unibrowed iranian man touched it multiple times
ik everyone wants to have da meeta... but did anyone notice that he actually BURNT THAT WIRE INTO HIS SKIN?? papa was an electrician, was a little worried there that you've genuinely hurt yourself.
next video, show how your fingers healed :D
I know, that looked horrible. Like his skin was plastic and the wire melted itself into it.
Yeah I always thought all the grabbing of burny bits was more sleight of hand, for our amusement... not so sure now I kinda feel bad for encouraging this kind of behavior.
But I’ll still gladly take a meeta:)
You know, some people really enjoy to feel pain.
In almost all of his videos you can see him getting electrocuted or burned so either he's very stupid, which I know he's not, or he's sadomasochist. I bet he's having a donjon room in his house... :P
I think it's more he sets MOST of those up, yes he usually gets bit, but he designs the skit with that in mind to mitigate most of the risks. I do not think he MEANT to do this one, though. This one is probably the worst, or second worst, him grabbing the falling MOT jacob's ladder was probably not planned, either
@Step Two And A Half
Yeah, I think you’re on to it, he showed the injury because it’s NOT the norm, he got bit and wasn’t really expecting it.
Subbed and this is the 3rd video I've watched of yours so far...
You are a very funny guy, and very informative whilst happy to continually electrocute yourself for our amusement lol!
That burn in this video looks a little hurtie, hurtie though 🤬 lol.
Cheers from down under. Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you for Posting this video. I buy from the store a 0.015/5w resistor and measure the millivolts across it to measure currents.

SO FUCKIN' TRUE! 😎
zztop3000 ElectroBOOM is actually called: Mehdi Sadaghdar. Got it?
SHHHHUNT!!!
you can tell there's a giveaway just by looking at the comments
The reasoning at the end was the best part for me... Use with an o-scope. Thanka.
4 years of engineering school or 10 min UA-cam :/
:(
U look like dictator of electronics
Exactly! :)
Is the stupid p2w app store company called GLU actually an popular thing?
He doesn't LOOK like… he IS the dictator of electronica
FULL bridge RECTifier!
no current for you! NEXT!
6:35 lmao that burn will reach Edison in his grave.
Oof
If@@thischannelisdead2839, then why is it still alive?
@@timmyg8888 good point
Man you really like to show people what not to do as well as what to do.
0:40 there’s bleeps, even though he didn’t say anything :D
the bleep makes it even funnier 😂
Gimme da meetta! Ouuu wait... that USB oscilloscope seems pretty handy so... GIMME DA OSSELOSCOPPP EINSTAAAD!
Man i really need DA METTA or the osciloscope to make a flyback driver, then make a nitric acid generator with it, then make silver nitrate with the nitric acid+silver (silver removed from old x-ray films), then make a telescope mirror (silver to reflect) to make a telescope. pls, a lot of science going on here :) just need the tools
also it will be extremelly useful for future projects.
Wow some serious stuff man good luck. Make sure to share that with us in your UA-cam channel :)
So, the grinding, polishing and figuring stages are already finished? ;)
Damn, you're essentially crafting your own telescope? Nice, good luck and remember to never give up.
silver already melted, grass is shipping with the abrasives, all the necessary tools are ready, i'm only 15 lol i'm out of money, just the glass blowed up my budget so.. a lot of hard work coming
Watch the clock in the back great videos like this takes time see the difference from the beginning to end
06:35 Thomas Edison got roasted for 6 secs
0:04 😹😹 i laguhed, the voice entered my stomach
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
gimme da meeta,
so I can make BOOM.
Lol plz can I have one. :-)
hilarious education with hilarious result.. but I should thanked you because it's really deepen my knowledge about current, voltage and resistance..
Better off using resistive wire like A1 Kanthal or Nichrome to make a wirewound resistor.
electronicsNmore But he doesn't vape xD
Danial3W lol
GIMME DA MEETTA so i don't have to use myself as a shunt to measure current
Rohini Kanekar Awwww, look at this cute little green troll ^^
He's setting his autotransformer to 100 amps despite the side saying the fuse is rated for 25 amps. So I'm guessing the smoke from his transformer would be from the wire he used in place of the fuse to let more than 25 amps through. In other words, the illusion of stupidity is broken!
Nothing\ no! The 25amps is the maximum input current and not the output current. So 25 amps at 120v which equals a power of 3000 watts. So as long as the output power is less than that, you are good to go ans everything is safe.
Amazing Tech - What you said would be true for a transformer with separate primary and secondary windings, with VA-in equals VA-out. But since this is an auto transformer, there is just one winding and a carbon brush. The winding and brush current rating is limited to some maximum value, regardless of the voltage setting, otherwise you will let the smoke out.
Solar Fluxman, an autotransformer is not an exception to the rule.
The smoke and a spark at one point, seemed to be coming from the point where the carbon brush touches the transformer windings. This point is usually the failure point due to the resistance of the sliding contact.
And an auto-transformer isn't an exception to any rules. If you have a transformer with 2 windings that takes 120V/25A(3kw) input and it's rated to output 100V/30A(3kw), and then you load the secondary down to the point where it is outputting 30V/100A(3kw) the transformer will probably go up in smoke. It's still outputting the same power but the secondary wire isn't thick enough to handle the extra current, even though it's the same amount of power.
This applies to an auto-transformer/variac just as well. Since it's a single winding of a single thickness of wire, there is a point where the current flow will be too much for the wire thickness to handle, it will get hot, and it will fail. This maximum current point is independent of where you have the output voltage set and at lower voltages can occur well below the rated power output. The resistance of the carbon brush contact also has current capability that is independent of the voltage.
Current flowing through a resistor creates heat. The copper transformer windings, the carbon brush, the connections inside, ect., all have some parasitic resistance and therefore have a maximum current carrying capability that is independent of the output voltage.
The variac isn't an exception to any rules, it's just following the same ones that apply to any other transformer or circuit in general.
Made myself one, work perfect. Thanks for your inspiration and burned fingers! Cheers from Argentina!
*FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER INSIDE A SHUNT*
GIMMIE DA -SHUNT- MEETTA!
GIMME DA MEETA OR DA SCOPE!!!
Thomas Sears furry nigga
Michael Remington k
3:14 that circle is *SMOOTH*
We need thickness!
SHUNT
Shunt up and give me presents.
Thank you for clarifying assumptions. These videos have so much value. Thank you!
How many SHUNTs can a man drop in one video?
You know what? maybe if I change my vocabulary to SHUNT I wouldn't have to bleep my videos and save some time there!
ElectroBOOM that's assuming UA-cam algorithm can separate SHUNT and s*it.
It can't even separate shit from good (in content quality)
32 CAUSE IT HAS 32 LIKES
I would rather have the METHER from 7:32
Gimme the metta! But do dangerous things to just entertain us..be safe dude we care..
1:34 to 1:36, If you notice the clock in the background, you can see that he can time travel.
