00:00:00
okay let me see if I can turn it on
00:00:07
first hell happened there hello I'm gab
00:00:12
I'm Dan we're the slow-mo guys we've not
00:00:14
done too much stuff with electricity on
00:00:16
this channel most of it's involved sort
00:00:18
of you know shocking me or whatever yeah
00:00:20
or a bit of lightning yeah because I've
00:00:22
mainly been waiting to have access to
00:00:24
two things at the same time this camera
00:00:28
and this guy hello hello how are you
00:00:31
doing this is medy from electro boom yes
00:00:34
nice to be here I like your videos oh
00:00:36
thank you I like your videos oh thanks
00:00:39
thank very much this stuff looks pretty
00:00:40
intense what what have you got for us
00:00:41
here well I have a I have two things I
00:00:44
have my Tesla coil here it's a one Tesla
00:00:46
Tesla coil and then I have a Marx
00:00:49
generator here that I made uh hopefully
00:00:51
that'll work I want to figure out some
00:00:53
stuff that happens to ARS in slow motion
00:00:56
and hopefully we can see it on camera
00:00:58
yeah so this camera will let us go up to
00:01:00
we've only ever done a million but it
00:01:01
will go up to
00:01:03
1.75 million frames a second and the
00:01:05
Marx generator that's the reason I
00:01:07
originally got in touch because I
00:01:08
remember watching that
00:01:10
video what's going on and you see all
00:01:13
the sparks happen at the exact same time
00:01:15
that's what it looks like yeah yeah and
00:01:16
I thought I wonder if they are actually
00:01:18
happening at the same time or whether in
00:01:19
slowmo you would see their separation
00:01:21
hopefully the camera is fast enough to
00:01:23
capture like if they really happens at
00:01:26
the same time if it isn't fast enough we
00:01:28
will have failed you
00:01:30
yes more things we'll just wait another
00:01:33
10 years and we'll try again okay we'll
00:01:35
start at what 100,000 frames a second
00:01:39
that's the starting point that's the
00:01:40
starting point for this one yeah uhhuh
00:01:42
yes
00:01:44
ready okay stop that was messing up the
00:01:47
monitor was it yeah that was that was
00:01:50
like making the monitor like zoom in and
00:01:52
go
00:01:53
like cuz it's a capacitive screen oh
00:01:56
weird all right that's enough
00:02:01
it's all over the
00:02:04
place oh oh yeah there there we it's
00:02:07
interesting look at the little tcks it's
00:02:10
like furry it's still so fast like look
00:02:13
how look how long that takes I like the
00:02:15
sort of ghost it leaves behind do you
00:02:17
think the shape is it leaving behind a
00:02:20
condition of the air that means the next
00:02:21
Arc follows the exact same pattern
00:02:23
that's what I think it does yeah it
00:02:25
should like it seems to be like the next
00:02:27
art follows very similarly the path of
00:02:30
last one and it takes a few arcs to
00:02:32
actually significantly change like use
00:02:33
up that path well they will move the
00:02:35
thing is that the arcs will heat up the
00:02:37
air and the hot air rises so that's why
00:02:40
you see it going oh so that's why it's
00:02:43
like yeah that's why it goes up but
00:02:45
otherwise like because it's not very
00:02:48
continuous the air has some time to cool
00:02:50
down yeah okay but the I don't know how
00:02:52
long it takes for that because it
00:02:54
creates an ionized channel right are you
00:02:57
are you going to touch it yeah you
00:02:58
should I mean I tou before it's not bad
00:03:01
it's like somebody's slapping you on the
00:03:02
back of the hand at 1 Herz don't try the
00:03:05
1 KZ it's like somebody's slapping you
00:03:07
at 1,000 times a
00:03:09
second that's that's much worse you've
00:03:12
known medy for what two days uh are you
00:03:15
at that level of trust with him yet I
00:03:16
think I can you not trust this face
00:03:19
truly no I trust you I trust you so how
00:03:22
far do you reckon it will get me it will
00:03:24
probably go this far okay yeah let me
00:03:26
increase the power a little bit
00:03:31
you can touch it now and it will be
00:03:32
brighter when it jumps to you because
00:03:35
okay do you want me to touch it yeah I
00:03:37
think so I think that's going to really
00:03:38
help us see it then should I go first so
00:03:41
you're not scared or you want to go
00:03:43
first I'll just do it okay oh man it's
00:03:46
so noisy just don't punch the Tesla coil
00:03:50
get you yeah got okay let's have a look
00:03:52
at that okay all right
00:03:57
[Music]
00:04:04
so now what I want you to do is to have
00:04:06
a screwdriver and point it to the arc
00:04:09
what do you think will happen will it
00:04:10
will it be worse or better I I can't
00:04:13
imagine it would be worse right yeah
00:04:16
because it's jumping to the metal yeah
00:04:19
and you won't feel
00:04:20
it yes why would I I'm insulated myself
00:04:24
okay
00:04:28
yeah ah oh you feel it ah it scared me
00:04:31
like a little bit ah
00:04:34
yes yeah the thing is that when it jumps
00:04:36
to the metal yeah because it's very High
00:04:38
Vol voltage it will jump on the air to
00:04:41
your hand anyway so it doesn't matter oh
00:04:44
I was shocked literally now hold it like
00:04:47
this but hold the metal tight so it
00:04:50
jumps to the metal and goes to your hand
00:04:51
directly right let's see how that feels
00:04:54
thoughts I feel like I don't know what's
00:04:56
going to be worse and then I will
00:04:58
increase the frequency as well and see
00:05:00
if it will be much
00:05:02
worse
00:05:05
okay you feel it not at all huh nothing
00:05:09
that's the beauty of yeah you can go
00:05:12
further out so it's yeah that's don't
00:05:14
know if it's getting me though I can't
00:05:15
even tell if it's like no I I can see
00:05:17
the AR jumping I can see
00:05:19
them it's not very bright let me
00:05:21
increase the frequency so hopefully you
00:05:23
can see
00:05:28
something okay
00:05:30
all right
00:05:33
let were you feeling it it was like
00:05:36
building up it was like no no it's good
00:05:40
ow okay ow okay why am I still holding
00:05:44
oh there you go that's bright it's
00:05:46
brighter when it goes directly to the
00:05:47
screwdriver isn't it yeah because
00:05:49
instead of splitting in many branches it
00:05:52
just goes in one oh they meet in the
00:05:55
middle oh wow okay see you see all the
00:05:58
fluff between the Arc it seems like the
00:06:00
arc is finding new ways even yeah like
00:06:03
there's electricity going in little bits
00:06:05
in here it looks like you're in space or
00:06:06
something like so the voltage between
00:06:07
this bit and that bit is high enough
00:06:10
that arcs are jumping between the ark
00:06:12
tiny so they're leaping from here to
00:06:14
here is that yeah sounds looks like it
00:06:17
yeah even at
00:06:19
100,000 yeah it's done we need to go we
00:06:21
need to bump it up to a million or
00:06:23
something yeah something just straight
00:06:25
to a
00:06:26
million million yeah what can we do one
00:06:30
75 million is that the maximum is that
00:06:32
the best you can give me that's the best
00:06:33
we can do how we I like jumping from
00:06:36
100,000 to 1.7 should we should we
00:06:39
should we do it to 500 first I kind of
00:06:40
want to see what that looks like 1
00:06:42
million 500 what do you re 500 yeah we
00:06:45
could waste time at 500 if you
00:06:47
want all right the Tesla coil breaks the
00:06:51
air first it doesn't see you it doesn't
00:06:53
see the screwdriver first it breaks
00:06:55
through air it makes channels through
00:06:57
the air and when it comes close enough
00:06:59
to you then it feels like it has to jump
00:07:02
to that yeah yeah okay as you can see we
00:07:05
now have a very long and skinny
00:07:06
resolution 1280x 128 but we are at
00:07:09
456,000 frames a second so yeah about
00:07:12
four times slower than we just were
00:07:14
we'll see what extra information we can
00:07:15
see but I assume we will have to go
00:07:17
faster still should I go higher
00:07:18
frequency yeah yeah I can't really see
00:07:20
anything yet I can
00:07:21
[Music]
00:07:27
see okay so what was hurting me there it
00:07:30
was going so high I was holding it like
00:07:32
this right and I moved it further away
00:07:34
and it stopped going to the screwdriver
00:07:36
started going to my hand yeah your hand
00:07:38
was too close huh yeah my hand was too
00:07:43
close is it oh it's not playing is it
00:07:46
it's not playing so I can see why I
00:07:49
thought it was so slow I'm not seeing
00:07:51
anything what it was okay so now we
00:07:53
might be at the point where we can see
00:07:54
the frequency maybe although you know
00:07:57
what they say if you want to sample a
00:07:59
frequency properly you have to at least
00:08:00
double the frequency of the ah yes cuz
00:08:03
otherwise you would have it turning on
00:08:05
and off within one frame oh yeah okay
00:08:08
here we
00:08:11
go is it happening multiple times oh it
00:08:15
could be it could be the all right there
00:08:18
you go so we it might be the fact that
00:08:21
it's not exactly double the resonance
00:08:23
frequency if you go higher yeah it's
00:08:25
definitely blinking on and off after it
00:08:27
happens and then it comes on again then
00:08:30
back up then down then back up then down
00:08:33
it's obviously like building up charge
00:08:34
and then finding a spot to like nail and
00:08:36
just releasing all of its energy it's
00:08:38
quite a distance as well it's like four
00:08:40
four or five in yeah the if you count
00:08:43
the length of the arc itself it's
00:08:44
probably like 6 7 in it's going in curls
00:08:48
why don't we make the leap 1.75 million
00:08:51
just straight up to 1.75 why not
00:08:53
skipping the m just skip a mill we've
00:08:54
done a mill before we've never done 1.75
00:08:57
million on a phantom before that's true
00:08:59
this will be the fastest we've ever
00:09:00
filmed on a phantom that would be
00:09:02
something yes and you're here for it yes
00:09:06
this camera is now recording so fast
00:09:08
it's turning every 1 second of real time
00:09:11
into about 19 hours of footage and we're
00:09:14
recording for 2.2 seconds so almost a
00:09:18
couple of days who's going to who's
00:09:19
going to sit through that and find the
00:09:20
footage yeah hello good luck okay I am
00:09:24
now taking very casually 1.75 million
00:09:28
frames every single second that we're
00:09:30
wasting there you go you're immediately
00:09:31
one of the most photographed
00:09:33
people there is now enough pictures of
00:09:36
you to last forever they're gone now
00:09:38
though they're gone I didn't keep
00:09:41
[Music]
00:09:50
them okay enough I didn't see
00:09:54
anything we recorded 2,630
00:10:00
minutes oh my goodness that sound right
00:10:03
wow I'm excited yeah me too it's the
00:10:06
fastest Rie ever done you ever done yeah
00:10:08
I've never done
00:10:12
anything wow so that you can see it
00:10:16
dring on and off before it even makes it
00:10:18
now you can see the resonance completely
00:10:20
so this is like off on off on off as it
00:10:24
slowly works it way over so you can
00:10:27
definitely see it turning on and off
00:10:29
throughout the arc that's great you can
00:10:31
probably calculate the resonance
00:10:33
frequency using this yeah it's probably
00:10:35
on that one even before they make it we
00:10:37
still see a few jumps from the tip as
00:10:39
well well we've confirmed it too the air
00:10:42
can blink at 250 khz I wasn't expecting
00:10:45
that can you tell me what is the frame
00:10:48
difference between this peak of the
00:10:50
voltage to the next one that way we can
00:10:52
calculate the frequency of resonance
00:10:54
actually you can just see it's 9328 9332
00:10:57
it's four frames four frames four frames
00:10:59
at what speed 1.75 1.75 million yeah it
00:11:03
shows 430 khz wow I was expecting closer
00:11:07
to 250 khz but well maybe so it's broken
00:11:11
or maybe we are still missing
00:11:13
some yeah with could does it get
00:11:16
brighter again oh no it is right sorry I
00:11:19
have to divide it by two as well so it's
00:11:22
around 220 KZ it's on and off yeah like
00:11:27
it's AC so it's bright on the lower
00:11:29
negative Peak and a positive Peak
00:11:32
so yeah that's
00:11:35
right so the camera and the testicle
00:11:37
aren't broken good everything is good
00:11:40
we're just looking at like pure
00:11:43
unedited reality there's no there's no
00:11:46
lies here it is still you know an
00:11:50
estimation because still we are not
00:11:51
sampling fast enough very accurately we
00:11:54
still if we're down to Counting four
00:11:56
frames we kind of still need to be going
00:11:59
far we would be good at like 10 million
00:12:01
I'm happy we captured the resonance
00:12:03
frequency I didn't expect that to be
00:12:05
possible but I'll keep the full file the
00:12:07
whole thing save the how many frames
00:12:09
save
00:12:11
4,142 484 frames and I would say I'll
00:12:14
upload that unedited to the second
00:12:16
Channel but um I don't think you can
00:12:18
upload a video longer than 12 hours make
00:12:20
it a three-part
00:12:21
video yes so many frames it's almost one
00:12:24
tenen of the pictures people take of
00:12:26
themselves on
00:12:28
Instagram of an Instagram influence yeah
00:12:31
okay so Med is now hooking up his Marx
00:12:33
generator this is the thing I saw and I
00:12:35
just had to know whether all the Sparks
00:12:37
were happening at the same time or
00:12:39
whether there was a imperceivable delay
00:12:41
do you think this will work or do you
00:12:42
think it will blow up
00:12:44
somehow let me turn
00:12:48
no
00:12:49
discharges oops oh oh no did I break
00:12:53
that oh no damn it I blew my
00:12:56
power jez
00:13:00
please oh that's that's that's not good
00:13:03
now I broke that now I'll go
00:13:06
[Laughter]
00:13:13
solder okay it's holding on she looks
00:13:16
good ready oh again that's not good too
00:13:20
close too powerful wow is it going
00:13:23
through the tape or no wow fully melted
00:13:26
the
00:13:28
tape
00:13:29
oh it's working it's working I trigger
00:13:34
it hey high five than we did it well
00:13:40
done oh wow that's so bright bright it
00:13:45
like blew out everything over here what
00:13:48
what what's going on there so it's off
00:13:52
okay and on W oh man okay so we need to
00:13:57
go faster I guess we need to go way
00:13:59
faster look at how bright that is is
00:14:01
that all what is this is this the
00:14:02
electric fluff again look I don't know
00:14:04
if it's the flare from the lens or it
00:14:07
might be a Fluff actually it could be
00:14:08
fluff hello it's gav from the edit this
00:14:10
is something that we all missed when we
00:14:12
were watching on the day just cuz the
00:14:14
screen is quite small and you can't
00:14:15
notice everything medy discovered this
00:14:18
watching the footage back when he was
00:14:19
making his video there's actually in the
00:14:22
final Gap a tiny little streamer just
00:14:25
slithering towards the other bead and as
00:14:27
soon as it hits it triggers the whole
00:14:29
thing I'm sure medy will get into that a
00:14:30
lot more on his analysis
00:14:33
video wow nice okay should we go
00:14:36
straight to
00:14:39
1,75 so ke like uh should we start this
00:14:41
up right 1.75 or nothing yeah I mean it
00:14:45
was so fast it was fast and bright I
00:14:48
mean I'm not worried about exposure
00:14:49
anymore yeah okay we are at 875,000
00:14:53
which is pretty much as high as we can
00:14:55
go in color without it being so skinny
00:14:58
we can't see anything I can hear it very
00:15:02
go there you go oh I have your your
00:15:07
laugh of Glee do you think we'll have
00:15:10
the sequence of arcs or it's again one
00:15:13
shot oh oh there we go okay wow okay uh
00:15:18
so here we go playing
00:15:21
back it's all the same it's all
00:15:23
instantly the same bang it's exactly the
00:15:25
same time oh oh oh it's when he's
00:15:28
turning on right maybe that's just tur
00:15:30
it off or on which which one was it this
00:15:32
is on oh so the last one went first so
00:15:35
we've got one in the last one for one
00:15:39
frame and then all the other ones are on
00:15:41
Wow they're at different stages though
00:15:43
like they're less bright here you can
00:15:45
see and then they're brighter and
00:15:46
brighter maybe is it bright here because
00:15:48
they're closer yeah well maybe it's
00:15:49
because it's earlier it started earlier
00:15:51
so it's like it gets brighter and
00:15:52
brighter as we go all these capacitors
00:15:54
would be at a different voltage level so
00:15:56
the first one will be higher voltage and
00:15:58
goes down to the last one why would that
00:16:01
the question why would the last one goes
00:16:03
first and this is a global shutter I
00:16:06
always thought it would start from the
00:16:08
other end going forward but no going to
00:16:10
bend the sensor up to 1.75 million
00:16:13
again oh there you go go go go go go
00:16:17
nice got it so our biggest struggle
00:16:18
currently is finding our shot in the
00:16:22
clip yeah we want to react to something
00:16:23
but there's nothing to react to yes we
00:16:25
know we've got
00:16:26
it it's in there but we have to sift
00:16:28
through 4.4 million frames yeah you were
00:16:31
the one that wanted to go up to 1.75
00:16:33
million frames a second now look where
00:16:34
we're at look at
00:16:36
this oh there did you see it oh are you
00:16:38
serious no oh don't do that
00:16:45
to
00:16:50
oh I mean oh sugar 1.75 million frames a
00:16:55
second everyone calm down
00:16:57
everyone hold on
00:16:59
now we will
00:17:01
learn oh wow so bright look at all the
00:17:04
fluff as well did it all happen at the
00:17:06
same time yeah looks like it damn it why
00:17:10
are you disappointed in that the answer
00:17:11
is it just happens at the same time
00:17:13
that's within one what is the time
00:17:15
difference there if if it was 2 Mega
00:17:17
frames per second then it would be like
00:17:19
half a micros So within 500 NS they will
00:17:22
L up at least so there's no leading that
00:17:25
time either it was just straight up boom
00:17:27
look how bright that is we hon need to
00:17:29
be filming at like 50 million frames a
00:17:31
second yeah it's seems like it's running
00:17:34
at a speed of light almost that has
00:17:36
answered my question on my first thought
00:17:39
when I saw your video was like what
00:17:41
would a phantom show yeah and it shows
00:17:43
the same thing a normal
00:17:45
camera y just a little bit slower yeah
00:17:50
now if you go forward in time do you see
00:17:53
any blinking oscillation or it just goes
00:17:57
down like just calms down yeah just
00:17:59
burns the air away yeah it just turns
00:18:01
off for another 4 hours and
00:18:05
then well that's cool that was cool yeah
00:18:08
we were able to see we learned we
00:18:10
learned something we learned that
00:18:11
electricity is really fast yeah it could
00:18:14
be could be faster than we can manage
00:18:17
here's another couple of attempts that
00:18:18
we didn't watch on the day both of them
00:18:20
display activity in the final Gap well
00:18:24
that was some incredibly fast footage
00:18:26
with some incredibly fast action yeah
00:18:29
making it seem like relatively normal
00:18:30
speed
00:18:31
footage a good point well I'm just happy
00:18:34
my circuit was able to last as long as
00:18:35
it did was stressful it only blew up
00:18:39
what twice no I think it was three times
00:18:40
three times yeah power supply one
00:18:42
circuit power supply this bit that bit
00:18:45
yeah and that kept smoking
00:18:47
but it was just really interesting to
00:18:49
see the path that electricity chooses
00:18:52
depending on the previous spark and like
00:18:55
the temperature around it and the
00:18:57
ionization of the air it's incredible
00:18:59
yeah well actually what I learned was
00:19:01
that I I didn't know air can blink that
00:19:03
fast at 250 or 300 khz that's surprising
00:19:08
Yeah we actually saw the frequency yeah
00:19:10
I I love that you guys learned all that
00:19:11
and I learned that hot air
00:19:14
rises and that's why electricity goes I
00:19:17
thought that would be kind of
00:19:19
obvious about it I was like why does it
00:19:21
always go up like that yeah I feel like
00:19:23
you knew it and then you discover this
00:19:24
it's like oh these are the same yeah I
00:19:26
applied it yeah yeah there you go well I
00:19:28
