Everyone else: CES 2020
Jay: What if we throw a bunch of extension cords together and see what happens?
lol
No one invite him maybe
Honestly though if he went all he would be doing is rehashing all the same info other tech tuners are doing right now so maybe it makes more sense to do something else in consideration of the audience?
That's why I love Jay.
it's meta, every one at CES is on extension cords :P
To late Jay, I already use a 300ft extension cord connected to my neighbor's house to save on electricity, I guess this explains why their house almost caught on fire
lol thats funny sam
@@aaronlarue7987 ya I changed it lol
Whoo thank god that there hohse didn't or else you pay there medical car bill.
Aww (*nods) they were watching this video while using their oven.

Checks out.

As an electrical engineer I was waiting for the moment when he touches the extension cords and realizes they get warm/hot.
Fondly remembering the time a band at one of my old rehearsal places plugged a 3000w space heater into a coiled extension...
Lord Vermintide that space heater can’t heat on it’s own.
My PC is also on a extension Cord, but it's a selfbuilt one with eneugh diameter to transver 230Vac 32A
@@plasmachicken 230V doesnt suffer the same drop though :) I have my Pc on 1 socket, on the 2nd ext. cord, i got a 2000W heater on the 1st cord same socket xD
Its not a problem untill you start drawing alot of power on the PSU anyways, and being on 230V puts you right inside the input range even with a decent drop of volts :)
EU PSU´s are full range too, so it will work untill the same 108V-ish, but cables would however be on fire long before that would happen xD
I was waiting for him to at least uncoil it.
This seems like a job for ElectroBOOM, you missed a great opportunity to to make a cool collaboration video.
Oh yes plz see this jay
Thought the same. We need ElectroBOOM on the matter!
Count me in for Electroboom content.
Oh yess!!!
That just means a follow up video!
As a brazilian..... can confirm. Also the transformer on the end of my street caught fire today. So ye.... count on luck here.
I feel you
Boa sorte aí kkkkk ;-;
So... you overclock pretty hard down there eh?
As a fellow brazilian, I made sure to buy a construction grade 10A/240V extension that's only 5 meters. Not risking a 4k reais build on saving 20.
Why is brazilian power so dangerous?
"Brazil: Good Luck Don't shock yourself V" as a Brazilian I can affirm that as every place is different and you should just ask every place you go
@ISOHaven I would guess you don't live here to understand how hard that would be here
@ISOHaven The problem here is kinda like this: um 2011 there was a change in the socket and plug standard tô a safer one, 9 years later it's installed in more than 60 million houses, and our shitty president wants to go back to the old one. Every fucking government always fucks up every thing the last one did, be it good or bad, so it's basically impossible to change standards.
Edit: Not to mention how fucking expensive every good electric stuff is. Know the cheap cords in the video? They are the expensive ones where I live. You don't want to see the cheap stuff.
@@eroscarpo as a brazilian too.. I think that going back to the old one is the perfect choice. Damn, everything that I buy from another country I have to buy an adapter to it because of the way that it is right now.
And another thing. I travel a lot for work and stuff and, for an example, my phone that I bought in Brazil came with a charger with our standards.. Then everywhere I go I have to take an adapter with me, it really sucks.
It's not just my phone, it's my laptop, my tablet, my everything that I bought in Brazil. So yes, I do prefer the old standard
Edit: Forgot to mention that I know that in this moment of our country this situation isn't the mainstream and by now it's pretty hard to change everything but yeah, I just said what I think about the new standard that we have now, which is safer but pretty crappy to be honest.
@@pimpolhogg I can relate to your problem, but since I almost never travel outside the country, having adapted all my electronics to the new standard (including changing plugs and all), I really hate the idea to go back to the old one.
@Hyi Vittu And that is a construction (and culture) problem, not a standards one. In the old standard we still had the ground pin for electronics, but most people just used adapters or simply cut it off.
Jay: This is the cheapest cable with the cheapest insulation *leaves it all coiled up on a wooden table*
Me: Oh god he's gonna burn it down for real this time
he should have put a induction compatible pot on it with a egg and see if it would bake
@@darknessblade7480 magnetic field cancels out because the current is flowing both ways. Nice thought tho
@@mschild95 i know that will happen, but it would be a fun joke they could make, when cutting the camera somebody swaps the pan with a baked egg in it, without the 2 guys knowing it
Well he can't put them on the floor, that's where all the coolant goes when his cooling loops fail.
He should also have gotten extension cords with the lowest maximum rated current (usually those garbage white/brown 18 gauge ones) lol
This series of videos should be called "Jay's Shower thoughts" 🤔
😁 Perfect..I'd vote for that if Jay decided to literally name such a video series
Agreed
More like Jay’s Sitting on the Toilet Thoughts.
@@Cerus98 Maybe...either way, I'm thankful for people like him with the courage to test " hmm.i wonder if this is legit too stupid to succeed....safely" things. xD
I literally conceptualized a movie today while I was in the shower. And ironically enough it was because I was thinking about jay building custom PCs.
Imagine this:
Honey, I shrunk the kids mixed with Jurassic Park and The Martian. Anyway I though about how we study ancient times. What about 3000 years from now, how would they study our lives. And then there was a museum with “ancient” tech. And one was the best 2020 build possible sitting behind glass covered in dirt and rock and just 3000 years old.

Fair. :) ha
I'm just glad to see he admitted to using the wrong type of cable for his custom extension cord.
It's fine to be wrong on your own, but showing kids, and people who just don't know something dangerous.. is a different story.
Good job Jay.
Me: Googles; "Should I use extension leads for PC setups", just to check my thinking.
RUclips: "HERE COMES JAYYYY TO SAVE THE DAAAYYY"
"It still needs 120V. So it's going start pulling more amps to get the volts it needs, to provide the wattage that it's asking for."
This is so wrong it hurts
That's why the cords got so hot, their basically acting like resistors, this video is the perfect example of why you don't run anything that draws significant power on 16 gauge wire
It's hard to listen to Jay butcher the laws of Physics, but fun at the same time.
@@brando12343 You forgot about inductor effect when cable is rolled up.
Having high amps on rolled up cable WILL give you heat issues.
Compatibility Madness you won’t get an induction effect in a extension cable because the active and neutral or hot and cold cancel each other out.
@@timmehh89 So, it doesn't effect how clean power going into PSU is ?
Me: reads title
Also me: nervously sweats while looking at my extensions cords coming from an extension outlet panel connected to an extension panel.
If true, you might want to double check the safety of that set-up.
lol
Bro same lol
ahh that sense of brinkmens ship will it pop today or tomorrow who knows, but seriously probably fine as long as you dont have anything pressing down on the wiring. Just curious if your from the states dont your guyes extension cords have to pass minimium safety/load standards they do here in the UK.
It's not the worse I've seen. That prize goes to eight cheap extension cords we found plugged together running across a drop ceiling at work. They were using it to power a Christmas tree. And this was done within five years of the place being rebuilt due a fire caused by an extension cord.
"we've got lots of computers around here that draw alot of power" OKAY JAY you dont have to brag...
I'd love to see this same test but with surge protectors/power strips, to see if a cheap VS inexpensive VS expensive power strip makes a difference on power pull and stability when using all plugs on said power strip!
Agreed
0:32 If I REALLY wanted my system to pop, I would get a cheap PSU instead.
Always love when I get a PC that has one of those generic cheap silver china PSUs fitted. Especially when the user said something like weird smell or doesn't turn on anymore.

Interestingly enough, I don't think he wears his own merch very often.
@@daemonbyte LMAO your comment made me laugh so hard i almost choked lol EPIC WIN for that common sense comment man!
Something that someone may have mentioned already is that using the contractor cable as shown @ 9:45 in the test will also add impedance to the test as well as resistance because of it being in a coil. Each loop adds its own impedance to the circuit.
I wanna see a watt measurement at the wall, versus at the end, to see how much resistance the power cords are creating.
In Concert Staging we call those orange extension cables: "Show Killers".
yessir
Also 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS adapters. Can't count the amount of times someone has tripped over one and all sound goes dead... Well okay on someone else's show as I throw them away when I find them being used on my shows.

anyone else think Phil needs hazardous duty pay just being in the room with Jay? Testing Ohm's law not really a new theory
That little danger montage is an incredible little piece of editing lol I can't stop watching it
hey jay, during my instrumentation course one of the instructors said this to explain wire resistance, he said " wire is like a highway for cars, if you have a 2 lane highway(18 gauge persay), only two cars wide can travel down the highway. but if you have a 4 lane megahighway, 4 cars can go down. the thicker the wire, the more lanes on the highway OR space for electrons to go through "
When you start watching these for Phil's laugh in the background
i dont really hear any of his laughs in some vidios.
Also /)
Legend says Jay's still winding that cable up...
He actually made this video a year ago.
He's still winding...
I work for a cable manufacturer in the UK. Jay, I completely agree 😊 volt drop is a big hurdle for many power cables.
Great work as always!!
Haven't enjoyed a Jay video in a while, this was old school funny Jay2Cents! Nice job!

These cords also work as an inductor introducing reactive load into the system. That way you don't just have the resistance of the cords limiting the voltage but also the impedance of rolled up cords.
The rolling the cables up at the end was a nice touch... Can I suggest looking up the "Roadie Roll"/"Roadie Wrap", otherwise known as the over/under technique? Coils cables so much more neatly, and prevents them getting all tangled when you're trying to unroll them!

Is this a tutorial for UnderVolting? 🤔
Seems expensive...
Lol, this video was about 20 years late for me. I have a video of a lan party I hosted in my youth where we played "find the smell". We assumed someone's overclocked rig was cooking. No, me in my brilliance used a 50' extension cord on a reel without unrolling it. The results were eye opening lol. After that I built a power distribution center using a breaker box plugged into the 220v 50A socket for my welder and split off into five 110v 20A lines. It worked well and we used that setup for a decade.
Lmao! 15:50 you been to man parties where they had big extension chords!?!?! I'm done where was Phil during the editing on that???? Lol. I love you and the team!
"5v extra resistance" reeeeeeeee
Stfu.
@@GeneralZap no u
115 is fine. There's a reason American plugs are often called 110 and not 120, it's a nominal voltage under load.
@@Jaker788 you don't measure resistance in volts, you measure it in ohms. That's what he's "reee"ing about.
@@_Bonez12 gotcha I didn't catch that
Jay: [plugs in coiled extension cords]
Electrons: Inductance, ENGAGE!
I was looking for that type of comment, always uncoiled your extensions cord when you are using a lot of power on it.
AcTuAlLy
Since the live and neutral are so close together, their magnetic fields pretty much cancel each other out and the inductance is negligible
@@TDG2654 True but the coiled up leads trap the heat in and can't dissipate it well.
They would be nice degaussing coils though.
People saying they dony get hot are full of shit. I've felt it happen myself.
You're looking great jay! inspiration goals.
14:00 yeah, there was that OG Mythbusters episode (68, I think) where they tested Christmas lights with extension cords and some melted and shorted. Heck, just this past Christmas, our tree was pulling ~440W from the wall. That thing was throwing some warmth.
That shot at the end of wrapping over the elbow made me die inside.
Never ever leave extension cord rolls rolled up unless you like fire. 🔥
This is probably adding much more to the heat of the cords.
exactly, if the cords were spread out they wouldn't have gotten as hot but having them bunched together like that will cause them to melt if they get hot enough, the cords are basically acting like a resistor
Coiled cables can also have significant impedence which can make the system response to changes in power requirement sluggish.
They should have a label stating how much wattage you can pull through it while rolled up. You're okay so long as you long as you stick to that. I still uncoil regardless though.
@@MrNeocortex who's going to follow that tho. People arent that smart, even if it is written on the cord
@@wescottpsmith1965 its not about the impedance of a coild up wire but more because the heat from one wire does not disapate to air but into the nex wire this heats em up
Great vid Jay, very informative.
I love this guys channel from the commentary to the production quality everything about them best yt channel
Jay's having his Tim Taylor from Home Improvement moments....
If you rolled up my cord that way there would be beef.
Oh yes. Even my cheapies at home get treated with a proper Union Wrap.
should do more that kind of endings.. jay wrapping it up :D
I love how right you got Brazil's electric system, some places are 120/110 and some are 220/210, and some are just "POWER"

Armando Montanez asking if an extension cord is good for my computer has NEVER crossed my mind
lol! eveytime I see his vest i hear linus say: LTT STORE DOT COM hahaha
Wow great video! A factory I used to work at would daisy chain ⛓️ extension cords with lots of equipment. The safety guy taught us not to do this so we fixed it. Definitely could be life saving info.
This would've been the perfect time to cooperate with ElectroBOOM, ask him to lend you an oscilloscope and his expertise in analyzing the voltage drop vs PC PSU stability.
You should also look at the PSU voltages to detect changes in stability. The components themselves can tolerate quite a bit of voltage drop, especially on the 12V line, since most components will step down that voltage to supply things like the GPU, Memory and the CPU.
In the end it will probably not be the voltage drop itself that causes the instability, but rather the inability to deliver enough amps at the lower voltage to meet the demands on current.
THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!
The moment you plugged in the higher quality extension cable...... Gave me a lot of thanks to myself with my setup.
Our house is split in 2 with the electrical circuits. One side of the house covers 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. The other covers the games room, living room, kitchen and laundry.
The whole house has maybe 12 wall plugs. Total. There is a lot of power boards. However my setup cannot be plugged into the games room as it triggers the breaker switch. I have to run an extension cord from the bedroom through to the games room. Because I am plugging into an extension cord the following, 3 monitors, PC, Nintendo Switch, Gamecube, Super Nintendo, Wii U, 32" CRT TV, Bar Fridge, plus a few things via USB chargers.... I did go with the higher grade extension cable.
Thanks a lot Jay for this video. Dirty power can be really dangerous for PC's, and while there isn't much you can do if you have a 300$ beater - when you've got a 5K$+ beast on the desk it would be best practice to work on some protection.
Unfortunately it's just not a very well known and tested topic. So thanks for bringing it up.
I know I'm several years late but I've got a question to ask. I don't have 100 ft long cables. I just want to connect my power supply ( 500 watts) to the UPS which is on the other side of the table. The cable that came with the power supply is a bit too short for my liking. Will it be alright if I use a power strip with a 2 meter cable to connect the power supply unit to the UPS ?
Thanks

14:00 I was actually waiting for this to happen. And it took me 10:00 whole minutes to see that Jay's wearing the stealth hoodie from Linus - LTTStore dot com

dvdemon187 I was thinking the same thing
WOW. Thanks to Jayz video I just learnt Australia (my own country) had different mains voltages between states. I live in WA and it's 240v here, same as one other state.
I'm shook...
Bigger concern: You didn't unwind it, so you have inductive resistance!
That's me with Ethernet that's too long for places I move into.
You mean reactance, right? Have you ever tried calculating inductance of an extension cord on a drum? I'm just asking out of curiosity. I understand the theory, but I have no clue as to what are we talking about scale-wise. I know manufacturers of cords on drums say you should always unwind it completely, but I always felt it was more for cooling. Coiled up cord is not going to cool well and when you start pushing a lot of current, you're asking for trouble.
Wouldn't that be cancelled out by the current flowing in the opposite direction?
Charlie Mio TO ANSWER JOBIcEK: You can calculate inductive reactance by the formula 2PiFL where F is frequency and L is inductance in Henry. And the answer is in ohm.
To answer charlie mio: No. the current still flows the same way in the wire. There is no relative opposite flow in the cable. So they act like an inductor essentially.
@@FunScientifix interesting point but the neutral and active lines are right next to each other. The way I understand it is that whenever current is flowing one way in the active wire it will be flowing the opposite direction in the neutral wire. Because the current is flowing in opposite directions they will be creating opposing fields that would (almost entirely) cancel each other out. Given that inductance is a result of energy being stored in said field then there would presumably be nearly no inductive reactance. Another reason that I don't think there's a field is because an AC current clamp meter won't work around an extension cord unless you separate the active and neutral wires and clamp around just one of them. These meters work by measuring this field, given that they read zero when the wires are together it seems reasonable to me that it's because the fields are cancelling out. Am I missing something here?
0:53 after watching all those clips I'm suddenly reminded that Jay is a parent
So is Linus...
The contractor cable coiled was turning into a Tesla coil, amp boost.
If this was a car channel, Jay’s be like „we got 5 fewer horsepowers in the tank therefore losing 7 gaspedals of air-resistance“
Which is why I use 16AWG MIL-SPEC Stranded Hook Up Wire (not the generic stuff that you get from hobby shops) when I make my custom individually sleeved modular PSU cables.
I would like to see your results on multiple pcs one breaker, from my experience i find 4 never trips a 15 amp breaker, 5 should work if all the machines arent power hungry, and 6 works in web browsing but not gaming.
"Good luck don't shock yourself V" omfg that made my day xD
Brazilians confirm that. Officially it is supposed to be 110v or 220v depending where you live. But... Yeah, good luck with that.
It can literally change depending on the street you live on, for instance my street has 220 but the one above is 110

5:02 So it's gonna start pulling more amps to get the
volts it needs... Uhh you sure about that.
I'm no certified pixie wrangler myself but this sounds even more wrong than Alex from LTT describing RACE-LET at CES 2020
It's better to say that you pull more current to get the power you need. Obviously, if the voltage is dropping, you won't get it back by pulling more current. If anything, voltage will only drop further by pulling more current. But, if you consider the output of a voltage regulator, not input voltage at the power supply, then it kind of is true. This compensation is, essentially, a function of voltage regulation. If I have a circuit that takes 5 A at 12 V, then I need to output 60 W. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold 12 V. Energy doesn't just appear out of thin air. If 60 goes out, 60 must go in (well, more, due to losses). My load doesn't care what the input voltage is. It's happy as long as it gets its 12 V. And if you're doing it efficiently, the only way to compensate for loss of voltage is to, somehow, pull more current (your own losses are the only other potential source of energy).
Maybe Uncle BumbleFuck can explain this better
Omh's law ftw
@@jobicek Ehm if something need 60watts. Its will either get it through higher current or through higher voltage. Watt=VxA. So at 12V you need 5A. But if you were to run 20V the current would only be 3A.
@@Sheiiko You are typically dealing with a voltage source. Your supply voltage is given. If you have a voltage regulator to pull voltage up to compensate sag, that energy has to come in the form of current. And as you start pulling more current to compensate, you will get more sag (how much sag depends on how "hard" the source is). Setting up a power supply so that your 12 V nominal rail is actually 20 V is not very bright, is it.
So, I just built a new pc and moved to a new apartment. The room I’m putting it in has a wonky outlet where the desk is and I’d need an extension to reach the other wall. Is there anything I should be careful of in order to avoid starting a fire or frying my system?
The cable coiling at the end XD Ah, memories from my USAF days
I can guarantee that the over the elbow coil made every entertainment professional clench in pain XD
2 minutes in and I'm already bracing myself.
would have been interesting to see how 12v and v-core for cpu and gpu change with the drop in mains voltage.
The PSU can compensate until it can't, and that's when stuff crashes.
The pc will still draw whatever it wants and the psu will output it down to a certain voltage, its an inverse relationship, as the volts drop the current(amps) increase, eventually though the power supply won't be able to draw what it needs and it will cause instability or shut the system down

We also have 240V sockets here in North America, but they aren't as common and require a workaround to the 120V entering the house. Our 240V, 60hrz system uses two breakers with an attached breaker bar and one is run 180 degrees out of phase to the other, meaning the peak (120V) of one lines up with the trough (-120V) of the other. For high amperage circuits like clothes driers and stoves we have a two different styles of large guage 3-4 blade plugs; for mid-amperage like overhead lighting and fan array for a patio or certain power tools as well as generator hookups for RV/camper and whole home back-feeding, we use a locking 4 blade plug and for standard amperage items like 240V window A/C units, high volume espresso machines and 240V electric heaters, we have a 2 blade with grounding pin, only the blades are horizontal rather than vertical.

You should make a video about power strips if you haven't already (haven't searched the channel yet for it cause laziness)! I've always wondered about the differences and impacts different strips have from the regular ones you can get at Walmart to the beefy ones you can get elsewhere!
Ohm's law: V = I * R
Jay's version of ohms law: V = I * V 🤔
Yeah, I was pretty surprised that made it all the way through production in a company/channel devoted to tech. It doesn't exactly fill viewers with confidence when they don't understand the very first thing that someone interested in electronics normally learns. Especially when the video revolves entirely around Ohm's law (not that they seem to appreciate it 😕).
@@thesaintnoodle not really paradoxes are impossible in this scenario I would just have to be 1
2:22 *Brazil: Good Luck Don't Shock Yourself V*
Actually, there were 3 cases this week in Brazil that cause a public uprising:
- "Irmãos morrem eletrocutados ao empinar pipa no RJ", Band Jornalismo
- "Idosa morre eletrocutada ao encostar em fio solto na rua", SBT Jornalismo
- "Mulher morre eletrocutada enquanto lavava roupas", SBT Jornalismo
Hey Jay, i would like to know whether its better to have a single drive or a boot drive + storage for my gaming pc. Money isn't a problem i just can't figure out whether its wort to buy a 2 TB m.2 or i should buy a 512gb one and a 2 TB ssd. Games would like to be installed in c: right?
2:22 I honestly chuckled. We have different Voltage ratings for different parts of the country, some places it's 127, others it's 220...and other rare ones have more.
Good luck!
Do you have a thermal imaging camera? and on a more personal level i would of liked to see an oscilloscope on that supply to the computer
Did you hear him explaining what's going on with watts, volts and amperes? Wrong channel for in depth precise tests
@@Kalvinjj yeah, like I said I would of liked the oscilloscope personally. But the thermal shots would of worked enough for RUclips
That's a question for electroboom
Stfu
ElectroBOOM for sure would do it, and we all know he would find the point where the extensions DO blow up
Brazil: 110 or 220v (don't shock yourself hahahaha)
always a nice surprise
127 V
It's complicated indeed: www.inf.ufrgs.br/~cabral/Tensao.nominal.estados.Brasil.html
@@PedroLauridsenRibeiro wtf lol
Any reason why voltage system in Brazil is not unified?
Question. What the best extension cord can i use for my ups apc 650va? What electrical rating should i use?
He has the cords coiled which introduces induction into the equation. This would affect the results subtly and, as a side note, can melt ferrous metals if the voltage or currect in the coil is high enough and the ferrous sample is in the centre of the coil though this is mostly done with DC voltage.
