00:00:00
hi today I'm going to Texas to find two
00:00:02
of my favorite YouTubers gav and Dan and
00:00:05
get them to do some testing for me in
00:00:07
fact I brought so many tools and
00:00:10
equipment on my carry-on luggage I was
00:00:12
sure they would stop me I mean look at
00:00:16
this but apparently it was
00:00:22
[Music]
00:00:24
fine I've heard these guys are somewhere
00:00:27
around here let's see
00:00:30
well there they are hi
00:00:34
guys it's
00:00:37
him come on where they oh my go damn it
00:00:41
where did they
00:00:43
go oh there you
00:00:47
[Music]
00:00:52
are this video is sponsored by audible
00:00:56
the best place to listen to anything
00:00:58
audible new me MERS try Audible for free
00:01:01
from the link in description more at the
00:01:03
end so I took my one Tesla Tesla coil
00:01:06
and my homemade Marx generator to the
00:01:08
slow-mo guys to film them at millions of
00:01:11
frames per second to see what happens to
00:01:13
the arcs and analyze them well analyzing
00:01:17
the arcs has to wait so many things went
00:01:20
wrong with my experiments I thought we
00:01:22
could never capture what we wanted one
00:01:25
time I wanted to do a proper
00:01:26
collaboration and no anyway this video
00:01:29
is is just a compilation of my
00:01:31
embarrassments and I'll make another one
00:01:33
later analyzing the arcs behaviors but
00:01:36
you can watch the arcs in slowmo now if
00:01:38
you go watch the slowmo guys video well
00:01:41
first off I placed my Marx generator in
00:01:43
my backpack hoping that it wouldn't get
00:01:45
damaged but under pressure it was all
00:01:48
mangled and I had to bend everything
00:01:50
back into shape so we started testing it
00:01:53
to make sure it works okay let me see if
00:01:56
I can turn it on first
00:02:00
[Laughter]
00:02:03
fortunately it was nothing I'm just
00:02:05
happy I finally found the source of drct
00:02:07
Zoidberg sound
00:02:12
effect the hell happened there that blue
00:02:16
there
00:02:18
yeah hope hopefully the mark generator
00:02:22
will be able to
00:02:23
run oh oh okay yeah yeah and that's it
00:02:28
did one though I wanted to do more oh
00:02:30
there you go okay okay go
00:02:33
go come on does that encourage
00:02:35
Electronics when you do this oh okay let
00:02:38
me
00:02:42
turn if you might touch ground then
00:02:45
don't hold the output of a high voltage
00:02:47
source turn it off first and yeah don't
00:02:51
hold the high voltage to start with okay
00:02:53
don't shock me I like the thing that you
00:02:55
have to touch is what yeah there's no
00:02:58
way to not do that come on loud that
00:03:02
oops oh no no did I break that that
00:03:06
sounds that seems like it's uh that's
00:03:08
the end of that yes oh no damn it I blew
00:03:11
my power supp that's power supply never
00:03:14
blew on me what's even going on oh man
00:03:18
ah that usually works especially when
00:03:21
it's been on fire like that okay let's
00:03:23
go shopping oh my
00:03:25
goodness wa did try to fix the supply
00:03:29
but there is a blown capacitor there
00:03:32
there we go that black capacitor
00:03:34
supposed to be like the blue one but
00:03:36
it's black now it still on which the the
00:03:40
thing is it still on oh yeah oh my
00:03:46
God slamming it also didn't work
00:03:49
slamming it didn't work I mean I I think
00:03:52
it's almost predictable that this would
00:03:53
happen you know well I didn't predict
00:03:56
that no my power supply never burned so
00:03:59
that was first no more testing until the
00:04:02
cameras are on yeah we have to make sure
00:04:03
we have the slow-mo first before
00:04:05
anything else blows up I was going to
00:04:07
bring the battery but I was pretty sure
00:04:09
that it wouldn't let me in the airplane
00:04:11
with the battery pushing it you're
00:04:13
supposed to take batteries on on planes
00:04:15
with you right rather than put them in
00:04:16
the check baggage Yeah by a car
00:04:19
battery there quite a lot of battery one
00:04:21
that that car just coming out just yeah
00:04:24
y yeah wo God this one right yeah oh
00:04:30
oh my God maybe you should drive
00:04:34
[Music]
00:04:36
next okay where's the car we now all
00:04:40
right so we have a battery now yeah we
00:04:41
got a
00:04:42
battery do the package of the battery it
00:04:45
was saying 119 amps so that might be a
00:04:49
problem if something shorts too many
00:04:52
that's that's too many amps hopefully
00:04:54
nothing blows up and we can get the arcs
00:04:55
first for the slow-mo and then yeah and
00:04:58
then we can blow everything up yes
00:05:01
I don't think we need to it they'll just
00:05:03
blow up on their own the circuits I made
00:05:05
are not made to last all right you just
00:05:08
m build them for one video and then
00:05:10
you're like and we're good well I mean
00:05:12
it's always a bonus if I can use it for
00:05:13
more videos yeah take a right here uh
00:05:16
not here the next one this one here this
00:05:19
one here oh this one oh no no no no no
00:05:21
no no oh my God I was going to say if
00:05:24
you didn't know this that bit is like a
00:05:27
a ramp it's like a huge ramp
00:05:30
you could have to the car if you'd go
00:05:32
fast into it let's hope the car Barry
00:05:34
Works hey you have a trampoline
00:05:41
[Music]
00:05:47
here so we decided to start with the
00:05:50
Tesla coil that we knew would work okay
00:05:52
we'll start at what 100,000 frames a
00:05:55
second that's the starting point that's
00:05:57
the starting point of this yeah uhhuh
00:05:59
all right I mean I've touched it before
00:06:01
it's not bad it's like somebody's
00:06:02
slapping you on the back of the hand at
00:06:04
1 Herz don't try the 1 KZ it's like
00:06:07
somebody's slapping you at 1,000 times a
00:06:10
second I'm encouraging Dan to get
00:06:13
shocked maybe I shouldn't encourage
00:06:16
people to get
00:06:17
shocked got you yeah got me it wasn't
00:06:20
that bad that one it so small it was it
00:06:23
wasn't very powerful that one I was
00:06:25
hoping for more hurting but the arcs
00:06:27
were too weak see the secondary of a
00:06:30
Tesla coil has a resonance frequency due
00:06:32
to its inductance and capacitance mainly
00:06:35
from the top load to the ground but with
00:06:37
the device sitting on a plastic table we
00:06:39
didn't have a proper ground so we made
00:06:45
one with that you're going to hurt me
00:06:48
now it can hurt you better yeah okay
00:06:50
let's see if that's
00:06:52
different a little fur too can you go a
00:06:54
little bit further away oh there you go
00:06:56
the arc is bigger oh that's better ah
00:06:58
it's more painful
00:07:00
the further you are from a Tesla coil
00:07:02
the more pain you get because the device
00:07:04
gets the chance to charge to a higher
00:07:06
voltage to jump over a longer distance
00:07:08
to your hand unless you're so far it
00:07:11
can't charge any further to jump that
00:07:13
far so now what I want you to do is to
00:07:15
have a screwdriver and point it to the
00:07:18
arc okay just holding the plastic side
00:07:21
of the screwdriver surely I won't feel
00:07:23
it at all
00:07:27
then ah oh you feel it ah it's scared me
00:07:30
like a little
00:07:32
bit and that's why you shouldn't rely on
00:07:35
holding a plastic handle only to keep
00:07:37
you safe if the voltage is high enough
00:07:39
it will jump to the metal first and then
00:07:41
to your hand either through air or just
00:07:44
by breaking down the plastic now hold it
00:07:47
like this but hold the metal tight so it
00:07:50
jumps to the metal and goes to your hand
00:07:51
directly right let's see how that
00:07:54
feels I feel like I don't know what's
00:07:56
going to be worse
00:07:59
you feel it not at all huh nothing now
00:08:03
although electricity runs straight from
00:08:05
the metal into your hand instead of
00:08:07
entering through a single point it
00:08:09
spreads over a larger surface area and
00:08:12
so you can barely feel it well of course
00:08:15
these arcs are low energy electricity
00:08:17
otherwise you would feel them no matter
00:08:19
what I I never thought that starting at
00:08:21
100,000 frames a second would be too
00:08:22
wimpy of a speed yeah it's going to be
00:08:24
unless we sit here and watch it frame by
00:08:26
frame it's going to be so hard there's a
00:08:27
big issue capturing f fast in frequent
00:08:30
arcs like if you're capturing 100,000
00:08:33
frames a second and you capture only 1
00:08:36
second and the arc pops only for one
00:08:38
frame how the hell are you supposed to
00:08:41
find that one frame out of a 100,000 so
00:08:44
we had to increase the frequency of the
00:08:47
arcs it's not very bright let me
00:08:49
increase the frequency so hopefully you
00:08:51
can see
00:08:52
something
00:08:56
oh you won't feel frequencies above 30
00:08:59
khz as electric shock and the resonance
00:09:02
frequency of this Tesla coil is around
00:09:05
250 khz but because we are pulsing these
00:09:08
high frequency arcs at audible frequency
00:09:11
it gives them low frequency components
00:09:14
that can
00:09:16
shock looks nice-ish but the arcs are so
00:09:19
fast the 100,000 frame rate is clearly
00:09:22
not enough so we went to 500,000 then 1
00:09:26
million and then 1.75 million R per
00:09:30
second good thing is with the Tesla coil
00:09:32
running at 1 khz pulses we have a much
00:09:35
greater chance of finding the arcs after
00:09:37
we capture them we need to bump it up to
00:09:40
a million or something yeah something
00:09:42
just straight to a
00:09:44
million million hey you guys have one of
00:09:46
[Music]
00:09:57
these there you go
00:09:59
jump
00:10:03
off I did it let me see if I can come
00:10:10
around why am I going so
00:10:14
fast you've switched to a drill bit yeah
00:10:17
I've I've switched to this sort of long
00:10:18
drill bit just because cuz my wasn't
00:10:20
wasn't much room on the screwdriver it
00:10:21
was jumping directly to my hand and try
00:10:23
and avoid that by using this long drill
00:10:24
bit
00:10:28
sure a
00:10:30
[Music]
00:10:33
ah maybe I should have mentioned that
00:10:36
the test could have been done by arcs
00:10:38
jumping to a grounded metal instead of
00:10:41
Dan I forgot well it was his fault too
00:10:45
see when you feel something is stinging
00:10:47
you you naturally loosen your grip and
00:10:49
let go which is what Dan did but in this
00:10:52
case you have to actually grip harder to
00:10:55
increase the surface area and lower the
00:10:57
resistance or just move away well there
00:10:59
are low energy arcs and Dan is a trooper
00:11:02
what we are doing is that I have what
00:11:03
he's trying to say is let's move on to
00:11:06
try the zvs circuit and the Marx
00:11:08
generator for massive arcs if you want
00:11:11
to know about these circuits you can
00:11:12
watch my old videos but let's start from
00:11:15
the zvs continuous
00:11:19
arcs we got something yeah we did oh wow
00:11:23
oh man oh that's burning there that's
00:11:25
okay it always
00:11:27
Burns oh it's fun fine it's smoking it's
00:11:30
okay what can I say it's a transistor
00:11:33
setup that arcs to itself and burns um
00:11:37
okay do we want to move on to the yeah
00:11:39
let's go the marxy marks oh that's
00:11:42
that's that's not good that's not wa oh
00:11:46
that's okay now I broke that now I'll go
00:11:49
[Laughter]
00:11:54
solder this time nothing's going to blow
00:11:56
up oh it's doing it again
00:12:00
too close too
00:12:01
powerful like look wow I'm not a man of
00:12:04
doing things properly so I couldn't tell
00:12:08
let's let's just try quickly
00:12:11
oh fully on
00:12:13
fire
00:12:16
so did something blow up something blew
00:12:18
up on that oh no now my power
00:12:22
transistors blew up such a
00:12:25
hassle if my transistors are broken then
00:12:28
I'll have to we replace them what did I
00:12:31
say we' be done by
00:12:32
today you jinxed it few on the spot
00:12:36
repairs would you like a chair rather
00:12:38
than kneeling on the floor yeah here you
00:12:42
go
00:12:44
yeah look at that I can do
00:12:47
business now I can do
00:12:49
[Music]
00:12:54
business hopefully we get some arcs
00:12:56
before it blows out it might be our last
00:12:58
chance
00:13:02
wi oh it's working um so it's off okay
00:13:07
and on wow oh man okay should it go
00:13:12
straight to
00:13:14
1,75 You're So Keen like uh should we
00:13:17
set this up
00:13:18
right5 456,000
00:13:21
now we are at 875,000
00:13:27
oh I love your your laugh of Glee jingle
00:13:31
bell jingle bell
00:13:38
jingle we spent hours trying to find the
00:13:41
one in a million frames
00:13:43
shot we are still not fast enough you
00:13:47
want to go to 1.75 again where are we at
00:13:52
175 that's ni okay
00:13:56
stop I mean I'll never find that will I
00:13:59
on here
00:14:01
no I mean
00:14:06
oh I mean oh
00:14:08
sugar okay sugar indeed it was such a
00:14:13
mess of a test setup but hey we managed
00:14:16
and now I have to sit down and review
00:14:17
those arcs frame by frame for my next
00:14:20
video well I guess you can also review
00:14:22
