    Doing "stupidity" with MOTs for some time but in this video I found some new info that is really useful👍. Keep on going and stay safe. Greetings from CZ.

    Neon sign and oil furnace transformers can be very dangerous. I had a transformer that
    was rated at 14,000 volts.I forget what the milliamps were but this sucker weighed in at
    over 7 lbs. so I have to assume it had some real beef to it.

      I have to disappoint you here, but probably not. Neon sign transformers and furnace egnition transformers are big and heavy but usually can’t supply much current.
      Also unlike MOTs they are current limited to a specific value and thus can’t supply more current than they are rated for. Usually that is a low current like 20-30mA which will hurt very bad, but has a significantly lower chance of killing you than the 1-2A from a MOT.
      So in summary, yes those transformers can be deadly but its way less likely than with a MOT for example.

      @@sciencebysergio Hi there! Sergio, I have no idea what a micro zapper xfrmer
      puts out in milli-amps.I suspect the voltage to be around 3 to 5 thousand. I do
      know an oil furnace transformer puts out 10,000 volts at 23 milli-amps so that
      equates to 230 watts.

    Tbh your production quality is really good, I'd say like top tier quality for 25 subs, you're very underrated tbh

      Thanks, I really appreciate your compliment.
      I always try to improve my production quality, and because of that I will probably buy a lavalier mic soon, so I don't always have to use the chunky mic I have.

    Do you know about the case where a woman's hand mutated to hell when she was doing the fractal figure thing with a MOT?

      Yeah, I did, scary stuff... Luckily she survived, but it terrifies me how high power high voltage just vaporises tissue like its nothing...

      Yeah, he was very lucky. I said that a single Mot has like a 70-80% kill rate so It is possible to survive a mot but the risk of severe burns is still high.

      due to his shitty connections, they infact broken off, That is likely what saved him.
