Microwaves at a frequency of 2.4 GHz penetrate about 10 mm into human tissue. This means that all the power is deposited in this tissue, and the heating is moderated by the blood flow. There are exceptions, however. If the eyeball receives power from microwaves, there is no blood flow in the eye to remove heat, and the full power is therefore deposited in the eye fluid. The eye fluid has the same properties as the white of an egg, i.e. it coagulates when heated. This effect is cumulative and not reversible.
@@mastershooter64sort of, but it is notoriously risky and really just a speed bump on the way to amputation. They remove the entire VH and just hope it heals OK. You will not regrow a new VH, but hopefully it is stable and doesn't get infected, but like 20% of the time it does get infected (immediately). You really don't want to have your VH removed unless totally necessary.
Yes, this is what we were told on physics class at my electrical engineering faculty. Microwaves from the microwave oven may permanently blind the exposed persons, and one should never play with it. What Mehdi did here was actually dangerous to his health. Also, cooked proteins may cause blood clots, so heating up your hand with microwaves is not a smart thing to do as well.
this made me laugh because I literally just discovered you yesterday, now electroboom is talking about you - clearly I am an impactful human by watching these things - jokes aside, I fucking love your absurd videos

Yes, Euro plug into UK socket is dangerous. Firstly the shutter mechanism in a UK socket is operated by the longer earth (ground) pin going in first. So in order to insert a Euro plug you have to defeat the shutter mechanism by inserting a foreign object into the earth hole. Secondly, UK plugs have a fuse, Euro plugs do not. The fuse is there for a reason, sockets in the UK are commonly fed from a ring circuit on a 32A breaker, so the appliance cord needs a fuse. Other countries plugs typically don't have a fuse because the sockets are fed on radial circuits on a much smaller breaker. And finally the UK socket just isn't designed to take a Euro plug, so there's no guarantee that the plug will make a.good contact with the socket, which can lead to high resistance or arcing
Now i understand the reason for that fuse, thanks. It's limited to 16 amps in our code and most power cords can handle that under normal conditions. The equipment is supposed to have an internal fuse, optimized for that specific equipment. The power cords for bigger equipment always use wire that is rated for 16 amp continuously. The wire gauge does not need to be the same as the one in the installation, because our code demands a bit oversized wire gauge, to avoid power drops over longer distances, it is not for fire hazard because even 4 times thinner wire can handle 16 amps without getting hot. It only becomes dangerous if it's a long wire that is rolled up , that can get hot enough to melt the insulation.
1. 2-Pin EU plug no need to be grounded (Same with some UK devices - look for Yours phone chargers: grund pin is plastic!) 2. Almost every EU device has build kinda protection /fuse/ mechanical or thermal - this is why never buy cheap "china export" stuff. 3. 99% emigrants from EU never use proper UK plug after arriving or when coming into sesonal work. Scewdriver or knife, to open socket flap, and no adaper is requied. Never heard about anybody to hurt himself.
@stanley3647 I never said it needs to be earthed, just that the earth pin - whether it does anything electrically or not - is what opens the shutter. Sticking something other than a plug in there to open the shutter is not a good idea and can damage the socket. And yes applicants have overload protection built in, but the fuse in the plug is to protect the cord, not the appliance, which the overload protection in the appliance wouldn't necessarily do as it's after the cord. And just because 99% of immigrants do it doesn't make it right
Electroboom and mr green guy are hilariously teaching me lots about what NOT to do in most of their videos....i love both of you guys.... collaboration a must
Yes, Brazil (my home) has a lot of electric showers (almost every house has at least one) and, despite the jokes, they are really safe. In fact I never heard or seen any news with someone dying or getting hurt, except in extreme occasions where the shower was reaaaallyyyy wrongly installed and the home is a nest of work arounds, so the shower was one of the infinite dangerous situations. And there is one more thing, in engineering standards and regulations GFCI (in Brazil is called DR) is mandatory in wet areas, like showers. Not every house has an electric shower, some has solar heaters (as mine) or gas.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket They mean a shower head with heater coils IN the nozzle. It's like if you were running water through a space heater as a shower head.
There is a unit used in hospitals to warm patients internals that actually uses microwaves. Of course the setup is carefully made and calibrated so it will not boil the patient. Older versions of this technique were called "diathermy machines" which used VHF radio waves to generate the warmth.
Radiotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, i think it works kind of they way RF hurts the eyes. Cancer cells grow so fast compared to normal cell, they can out grow the blood supply to them. So if you beam form RF energy at them there is more energy present on them then the surrounding body tissue the beams pass through. With limited blood supply the cancer can't get rid of the heat generated so the cells get distressed. the body's normal process for mopping up dead and distressed cells get rid of them so hopefully removing the cancer.
@@pcbden Not sure about cancer, I remember it not being recommended, I've been using it successfully to relieve patients with Osteoarthritis for example.
One of the risks with microwave exposure at this level (10s of thousands of times more than mobile phones / wifi etc) is cornea / lens damage due to local heating as it does not have blood flow to carry away the heat. Damage of this type might not become apparent until the next day unless it is really extreme.
So here’s the thing about Cell phone radiation-the health standards are based still on early 90s usage. so a phone can give off harmful radiation but it’s not caught because they only test for 30min of usage and carrying it for like two hours of the day. or Apple has been caught releasing updates that cause the device to emit more radiation(like a governor was removed type thing)
Proof - The FCC's SAR limit is based on research that found animals' behavior was disrupted at an SAR of about 4.0 W/kg after 30 to 60 minutes of exposure. The FCC's SAR limit for cell phones was adopted in 1996, after the FDA and FCC adopted guidelines set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the IEEE in 1992.
To be clear, based on 1996 animal data for an hour, we concluded 1.6W/kg to be the limit for humans using an Apple IPhone 15, and wearing an Apple Watch 5. Also those tests were done away from the body, not touching it.
@@threestans9096 Mobile phones, wifi and similar devices just do not have robust enough electronics to emit the 600W or more of microwave energy like ovens can. The main reasons to limit radio power output on phones and wifi are battery life and minimising interference.
5:49 Hey Medhi, thanks for reviewing my post (The DC motor playing music one sticked to that yellow box) , i really like it, this is the first time I've ever seen this Edit: and also 11:20
I previously worked under contract to maintain the right of ways for transmission lines. If we parked the work truck under the 500kv lines, not only could you hear the lines humming but the truck would also shock you if you touched anywhere the paint was chipped off.
I remember waving a hand over the end of a waveguide during radar maintenance training back in the 1970s. You could feel a warmth coming out the end of the waveguide as you passed your hand over it. Someone left their hand in the beam too long, like ten seconds, and the hand turned red and swelled up for a couple of days. Lesson learned, don’t mess with a kilowatt power magnetron! Looking down an operating waveguide will give you cataracts and the 8kV power supply will kill you.
12:08 I'm sure you've already been tagged on a dozen platforms about it, but yes, the Superdana 60+ outlet power bar, that is a Photoshop by Nanoraptor, whose amazing edits have gone endlessly viral for decades now.
for the DC motor as a speaker, the part making the sound is the rotor, not the body, so it works way better if you restrain or put a paper cone on the rotor! I used to make floppy drives and hard drives play music, and played around with DC motor speakers for a while. I also discovered some of the capacitors on my amplifier could play sound too if they were driving a heavy load.
This made me laugh because one day at my work an old guy called and was paranoid that his microwave was leaking radiation, I explained that unless it was modified or has literal holes in the casing there was no risk at all because the hole needs to be greater than 1cm in order to have any significant leakage. He still insisted and eventually he came in and borrowed a leakage meter... later he questioned if it worked because he saw no movement while his microwave was in use. I concluded that he did not need to worry about frying his brain because it was clearly already fried and advised him to wear a foil hat while using his microwave from then on.
@11:06 in Malaysia, we use 3-pin UK plug as a standard, and all sockets use that 3-pin standard. However, there are numbers of appliances sold here, mostly imported ones, adopt the 2-pin EU standard. Most of newer extensions and wall sockets now are designed to have grooves on protective covers of neutral and live (hot in NA standard) terminals so that the EU plugs can be easily inserted into the UK sockets without adapters or putting in any non-conductive material into earth terminal to open the protective cover.
I was always warned when working around high powered RF that you will cook the whites of your eyes and may cause cataracts. Well, 30 years later - I have cataracts starting. I can still see fine but in 20 to 30 years, I may have to get it fixed. I messed with very high power VHF when I was younger and I don't know if the cataracts are from that or just being old. IMO, high power RF is OK, just beware of burns below the surface that you won't feel when they happen.
I've messed around with a lot of silly dangerous projects over the years, but there are a few things I draw the line at (now)... high-power RF/radiation/UV-lasers (lasers was added after taking a stray reflection, still have a darkspot in one eye.). Some things are not worth the risk, and that risk becomes so much higher when you can't see/hear/feel/smell/taste it. Worked with a few ex-radar operators, none of them were in great health, and none of them could have kids 😬
@@njones420 Yes, frickin' amazon and ebay laser 'pointers' do scare me. I've got a 5+W violet laser that I break out on Independence Day though. It's the reflections that will get you and you never see them coming.
The cataracts are due thermal effects, So unless you were in such intense radiation fields as to heat up your eyeballs I doubt that was the reason. Actually staring at forges, glory holes or fire pits is far more dangerous.
@@njones420 Radar waves cannot make you sterile, unless they raise the temperature of your gonads above 35C° but that means you have higher risk of dying from hiperthermia than getting your bawls "cooked". I cannot fathom what they could be doing to be exposed to such levels of radar energy.
@@njones420 None of the radar operators could have kids? Please do no spread these crazy ideas. I think you are confusing Ionising and non-ionising radiation. If non ionising radiation were to make you sterile, it would be from thermal effects and in the body-part you speak of, these thermal effects would be very noticeable, (pain), long before significant damage was done.
My grandpa was a lineman. He only had one apprentice. They were always warned not to be grounded underneath the disconnected, low hanging cables even when there was no power to them because the cables swaying in the wind could build up enough of a charge to kill someone. This apprentice my grandpa had walked underneath them and apparently got cooked. He never took on another apprentice after that because it shook him up too much.
14:00 yes it wouldn't shock the person, but a shorted battery will heat up the piercing in seconds and burn them pretty hard. You can test it by shorting a battery with a paperclip, you can easily get it red hot
I was a radio tech in the USAF, and it always makes me giggle when people get scared of microwave radiation. I'd be blasting myself with a 4,000 watt antenna on the regular. And there are people who say they get sick when their WiFi router is on...
Depending on the frequency, there is a good chance you could get cataracts or become infertile as a result of the radio waves heating up sensitive tissues within your body. The risk again depends on the frequency, distance between you and the antenna, as well as the amount of time spent within the field. Wifi doesn't transfer enough power to be dangerous, but a 4000 watt magnetron would do the trick
I have the power outlet bar at 12:14. Works fine. 2 laptops 4 monitors 2 desk lights 2 small speaker sets Miniature video camera and screen And 2 charging stations for robot vacuums Total power with everything on measured at less than 600 watts.
Two dangers all magnetrons. There is a third issue with some of the old ones. 1. Heat from parts and the field 2. High voltage. 3. There was an early magnetron with a very dangerous material used as the insulator (the white part that was glowing red)
Hello, as the son of an electronics engineer, I am now an electronics engineer myself. Most of the experiments my father did for me when I was a child, and it's really fascinating to me.
5:07, yes a DC motor can absolutely be a speaker. The motor just has to be driven by an ESC. In fact that's what the start up tones on most high end drones are. The ESC in the drone is using the brushless motors as speakers to output that sound.
A BLDC motor is something else than a (brushed) DC motor. Still works in the same way, but usually BLDC motors have much stronger magnets plus they can be held stationary to play music most accurate
It also works with a brushed motor. I retrofitted a brushed trolling motor with a PWM ESC to get a smooth throttle, and it produces that same high-pitched startup song
However an electric motor is not a very good speaker and won't make a lot of noise without an amplifier. Not even talking about the mismatched impedance.
I haven't been here for a few years and I'm glad that absolutely nothing has changed and you're still alive (I hadn't thought about this channel for years) :D
14:30 That's probably the worst thing I've seen in a while. Many people climb on these trains, get electrecuted and either die on the spot or in a hospital. And when they do survive they often have some of their limbs amputated or have to deal with massive health problems later on.
It highly depends on the design of the system. DC and AC systems act differently, also voltages are usually different and the frequencies vary also. At least here in Central Europe, you have a mix of 1,5kV DC, 3kV DC, 15kV 16,7Hz, 25kV 50Hz. Each system has its own effects. Some electric locomotives which are designed to operate in multiple countries on multiple systems have up to four separate pantographs to comply with different voltages, currents, pressures of the contact strip against the overhead catenary as well as the dimensions of the contact strip itself. Because historically multiple different systems were introduced over a relatively short period of time and the swapping of locomotives turned out to be time consuming, it is pretty common to see modern locomotives capable of running under multiple systems since the 1970s and especially since the 1990s, as technology advanced, as well as renewed former "east block" to "west block" connections. Even some "crazy" modifications of existing rolling stock were made, e.g. ČD class 340.
I'm pretty sure Mehdi had flashbacks of those videos and gifs widely shared in the wild west era of the Internet, guys surfing on wagons, they just graze the wire, BOOM, flash, smoke goes up, the skeletonized remains of what was once a human go down like a freaking Looney Tunes Cartoon
I thought that exposure to sufficient microwave power to heat your skin was known to be very bad for living tissue. The soldiers on the DEW line used to confirm that their radar was operating by holding their hands in front of the transmitter to feel the warmth. And after a lot of those activities their hands were severely injured. Perhaps that's a myth . . . . I think your demo may have been fairly safe in such a short duration and at fairly low unfocused power levels, but it may give the impression that there's nothing dangerous other than the high voltage. Isn't the metal shielding on a uwave oven there to protect the user, not just to reflect the radiation?
Well I'm sure it cooks you over time! I'm sure the injuries they sustained was from being internally cooked. And yes of course the metal case and shield is to also protect the user from being cooked.
Well repeated damage over time isn't good for any organs generally, I imagine repeatedly getting "almost cooked" will damage and kill sections of skin if you're doing it daily or close to that as in your story.
I almost killed myself 2 months ago doing electrical work at home. I of course turned power down, did some work, turned on to test, it was fine, turned down again to do more, turned on again to test, turned down again. Well... on that back and forth when I wired something wrong and when I tested it didn't turned on, I forgot the main power was on. So I was messing with 2 live phases of 110V. I almost touched the exposed wires. Thinking the power was off, the 2 110V wires touched and exploded in my face. It was so bright I couldn't see for a minute and my eyes hurt the entire rest of the day. I had soot in my face and my tshirt had burn marks. I live alone. If I had injured myself no one would know. I was in a state of shock. I finished what I was doing just enough to turn power again with no problems. And didn't touched the rest of the things I was doing until a few weeks ago, from fear.
This kind of stuff is extremely easy to do, just a second of inattention. FWIW I've done something very similar when I was younger, absent mindedly wiped some dust off a live 240v terminal (UK) in the back of a clothes drier I was repairing. Amazingly I didn't feel a thing, but I suddenly realised what I'd done and started sweating afterwards.
@@ferrumignisMhm, when you get super used to doing something and it seems easy, thats when you slip up because you go into autopilot mode. This is why airplane pilots are made to do checklists. You should watch the qxir video about a guy who was filming something for a sky diving school(i think,) but because it was back when cameras were GIGANTIC (including the equipment) and the dude had already done multiple dives that day. Well, the backpack for the camera and the parachute looked not just identical, but weighed basically the same amount. You then saw the 2 others rip their chutes out (like normal) but this guy just kept falling. He recorded himself falling to d34th.
@@ferrumignis i touched 230v (EU) live wire probably around 20-30 times in my 10y career, most of the times in my work boots, and few times sitting down. now i barely make any fuss about it, and it wakes you up better than any coffee ever lol
@@gothic6662 When I was 12, I had the brilliant idea of setting a very old elevator with swing doors in motion while the doors were still open. The top part of the door had two bolts that fitted into two corresponding holes in the door frame. I thought that there must be a simple push button switch behind these holes that tricks the elevator into thinking the door is closed and so I tried to reach it using my front door key. The next moment it felt like someone had hit me on the shoulders with both his arms and full force. I quickly turned around because at first I assumed the janitor had caught me or something. It took me a couple seconds to realize what just happened, but it wasn't until I spotted a small sign reading '380V' that the adrenalin rush really started to kick in. 😅
Once I got a shock while riding a bike below a 500kV power line: remember that the bike is like one close loop of alluminum that could work like an induction coil... I felt a pinch on my leg and heard the shock on my earphones. By the way, I am an electrical engineer so I made a complain to local authorities, the answer was that minimum heights were fulfilling regulation distances.
Jesus love us so much that he died for the forgiveness for our sins so we can have eternal life with him so I will die for him to show I love him and trust him to have eternal life with him. Satan is a deceiver and liar and does not want us to have eternal life with Jesus because he hates Jesus and knows he will never have eternal life so he does not want us humans to have eternal life. Satan is jealous of Jesus because Jesus has control and Satan will never have control.
as a kid , back in the late 1970s I did do the 9v PP3/6LR61/MN1602 battery across the tongue , I thought "well that wasn't too bad" . I had a 12 volt DC toy train set, so what else could a 9 year old do than wonder , "what is 12 volts like across the tongue instead of 9v ?" . So I decided to put my tongue on the 12v DC rails. It took a while for my taste puds to recover ! Needless to say , I never tried more than 12v, and well never even tried 12 or 9v EVER again !!! That experiment was done and dusted for a life time !

Brit here - We do indeed jam euro plugs into type G sockets like that. Normally you open the gate in the socket by using the earth pin on a different plug then just jam the euro plug in the now open gateways. Basically about as safe as a US plug socket.
i wonder how he is still alive at all shouldn't the touch of that pantograp already kxlled him? my only explanation is so far is its 3000v electrification which does not jump has far. but arcs alot meaning if you get electrocuted the electricity will follow you down alot longer
9:51 Or better yet, learn how to change the battery in your ignitor and let the sparker of said ignitor do the work (although you may need to remove surface rust because with my experience [shared with my aunt and her aunt and uncle] the sparker would need a bare surface of metal for the actual spark to jump to)
12:25 if all of your devices you plug into it are like 10 watts or only a couple are actually turned on at a time this might be useful in some applications actually.
11:05 in Mauritius we the UK standard but we have a lot of double pronged EU appliances and stuff, everyone does it, it's fine, even electricians(including one of my uncles) do it
Don't you have to put something in the ground to open the live and neutral? UK here, and sockets all have covers over live and neutral and need the earth prong to open them first.
In the UK the type G sockets are often protected by a 32amp breaker at the distro panel (consumer unit), 0.75mm2 (about 19awg) cable has a current rating of 6amps, under fault conditions the cable can have over 5 times its rated current flowing through it continuously (without tripping the breaker) and will catch fire... this is the reason for the UK plug having an internal fuse as without the fuse over 7.6Kw (at 240volts) can continuously be drawn from the socket without tripping the breaker at the panel. Other countries that use the UK’s type G socket normally protect the socket with a 16amp breaker and so under fault conditions a 0.75mm2 cable would only be overloaded by 2.7 times its rated current and is less likely to catch fire.
People think that cooking yourself is like BBQ but it just takes pasteurized temperature and you done. Cool video. Mostly the sound of microphone and the bulb was fun to watch their effect. Thanks for taking the risks for a video.
12:45- Éeeeee du Braziiiiiu! But you can also find those in all South and Central America. It's by far the cheapest and fastest water heating system, if you disregard the causalities...
Here in Brazil, electric showers are really common, and they rarely cause any issues. They're super safe, unless you use the wrong wires or circuit breaker. I grew up using one and still use it today!
13:32 one night I walked under these and it was so quiet and so dark you can hear, feel, and with something on the road even see the static comming off of these things. Such an incredible experience.
Malta is a funny place. I remember a hotel I stayed at had double wall sockets set into the wall, with a pair of single outlets mounted on the front... One UK, the other Euro style 😁 But yeah, we do that Euro-plug wedge here in UK too sometimes. I wouldn't do it on anything high current, as the UK socket is designed to mate with the flat sides of the UK plug, and the Euro plug has round pins, so the contact point isn't very large.
Mehdi, the UK plug has square pins and a fuse. The Euro plug is only speced for 2.5A and not fused. Its round pins will have a very small contact surface when inserted into a UK BS1363 socket. Also inserting requires defeating the shitter covering the live and neutral pins probably by inserting more one more unsuitable object into the hole for the earth pin. It may work, it may electrocute you, it may burn down your house. Just het a friggin adapter or change the plug to avoid adapters entirely. Most are of bad quality anyway. I collect leads of old devices to use for such conversions so Ialso get the advantage of industrially manufactured cables.
the real danger lies in the risk of the metal caps getting stuck in the UK socket when unplugging.. you can end up with bare wire sticking out of the plug.
I always did this with my continental appliances when I lived in the UK. Of course you have no shielding and UK plugs have a fuse that continental plugs don't have but I never got into trouble. Maybe I was lucky. And yes, you have to put something into the third hole to remove the mechanical cover of the others. My car key worked great for that ;-)
You would risk that the blood immediately coagulate, because of the heating reaching inside a limb, or the blood get damaged, then coagulate anywhere inside your body, which would be not a nice way to go. This time, Electroboom took a terrible risk - really - really DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!
Whats the source of your information? I could not get any information about that from the 2 studies i was able to found... And i only could find 2 searches😅 😅😅
UK and Euro plug thing - we've been doing this kind of round-pin-in-square-hole-thing in Sri lanka for several years now with older appliances and electrical equipment, as the Government changed us over from round pin plugs to the UK square pin plug. The connectivity is fine, but the pins can get bent over time for equipment that you regularly plug and unplug - like chargers. But for something that's not going to be regularly removed and replugged (like a TV or DVD player), it's fine.

Yes, Euro plug into UK socket is dangerous. Firstly the shutter mechanism in a UK socket is operated by the longer earth (ground) pin going in first. So in order to insert a Euro plug you have to defeat the shutter mechanism by inserting a foreign object into the earth hole.
Secondly, UK plugs have a fuse, Euro plugs do not. The fuse is there for a reason, sockets in the UK are commonly fed from a ring circuit on a 32A breaker, so the appliance cord needs a fuse. Other countries plugs typically don't have a fuse because the sockets are fed on radial circuits on a much smaller breaker.
And finally the UK socket just isn't designed to take a Euro plug, so there's no guarantee that the plug will make a.good contact with the socket, which can lead to high resistance or arcing
Now i understand the reason for that fuse, thanks. It's limited to 16 amps in our code and most power cords can handle that under normal conditions. The equipment is supposed to have an internal fuse, optimized for that specific equipment. The power cords for bigger equipment always use wire that is rated for 16 amp continuously. The wire gauge does not need to be the same as the one in the installation, because our code demands a bit oversized wire gauge, to avoid power drops over longer distances, it is not for fire hazard because even 4 times thinner wire can handle 16 amps without getting hot. It only becomes dangerous if it's a long wire that is rolled up , that can get hot enough to melt the insulation.
I like putting g foreign objects into the earth hole though😂
1. 2-Pin EU plug no need to be grounded (Same with some UK devices - look for Yours phone chargers: grund pin is plastic!)
2. Almost every EU device has build kinda protection /fuse/ mechanical or thermal - this is why never buy cheap "china export" stuff.
3. 99% emigrants from EU never use proper UK plug after arriving or when coming into sesonal work. Scewdriver or knife, to open socket flap, and no adaper is requied. Never heard about anybody to hurt himself.
@stanley3647 I never said it needs to be earthed, just that the earth pin - whether it does anything electrically or not - is what opens the shutter. Sticking something other than a plug in there to open the shutter is not a good idea and can damage the socket.
And yes applicants have overload protection built in, but the fuse in the plug is to protect the cord, not the appliance, which the overload protection in the appliance wouldn't necessarily do as it's after the cord.
And just because 99% of immigrants do it doesn't make it right
Electroboom and mr green guy are hilariously teaching me lots about what NOT to do in most of their videos....i love both of you guys.... collaboration a must
Yes, Brazil (my home) has a lot of electric showers (almost every house has at least one) and, despite the jokes, they are really safe. In fact I never heard or seen any news with someone dying or getting hurt, except in extreme occasions where the shower was reaaaallyyyy wrongly installed and the home is a nest of work arounds, so the shower was one of the infinite dangerous situations.
And there is one more thing, in engineering standards and regulations GFCI (in Brazil is called DR) is mandatory in wet areas, like showers.
Not every house has an electric shower, some has solar heaters (as mine) or gas.
By electric shower do you mean you had a electric water heater tank, an instant water heater, or some sort of "we microwave you to clean you" shower?
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket They mean a shower head with heater coils IN the nozzle. It's like if you were running water through a space heater as a shower head.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket the water passes through an active heating element that you can adjust directly on the shower. gotta reach it
also yes, on brazilian roofs you can see these metal panels which direct its heat to the water tank or the shower
either they work or they don't... it is the ones that sometimes work are the tricky ones.
There is a unit used in hospitals to warm patients internals that actually uses microwaves. Of course the setup is carefully made and calibrated so it will not boil the patient. Older versions of this technique were called "diathermy machines" which used VHF radio waves to generate the warmth.
Nice to see you here pal!
Radiotherapy is used to kill cancer cells, i think it works kind of they way RF hurts the eyes. Cancer cells grow so fast compared to normal cell, they can out grow the blood supply to them. So if you beam form RF energy at them there is more energy present on them then the surrounding body tissue the beams pass through. With limited blood supply the cancer can't get rid of the heat generated so the cells get distressed. the body's normal process for mopping up dead and distressed cells get rid of them so hopefully removing the cancer.
is it for cancer cure?
@@pcbden no, as stated, it was to warm their insides. you cant cure cancer with heat
@@pcbden Not sure about cancer, I remember it not being recommended, I've been using it successfully to relieve patients with Osteoarthritis for example.
One of the risks with microwave exposure at this level (10s of thousands of times more than mobile phones / wifi etc) is cornea / lens damage due to local heating as it does not have blood flow to carry away the heat. Damage of this type might not become apparent until the next day unless it is really extreme.
So here’s the thing about Cell phone radiation-the health standards are based still on early 90s usage. so a phone can give off harmful radiation but it’s not caught because they only test for 30min of usage and carrying it for like two hours of the day. or Apple has been caught releasing updates that cause the device to emit more radiation(like a governor was removed type thing)
Proof
-
The FCC's SAR limit is based on research that found animals' behavior was disrupted at an SAR of about 4.0 W/kg after 30 to 60 minutes of exposure. The FCC's SAR limit for cell phones was adopted in 1996, after the FDA and FCC adopted guidelines set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the IEEE in 1992.
They have never tested a SAR of 2 for say 16hrs.
Only 4 is too much in 30-60 min. 🤨
To be clear, based on 1996 animal data for an hour, we concluded 1.6W/kg to be the limit for humans using an Apple IPhone 15, and wearing an Apple Watch 5.
Also those tests were done away from the body, not touching it.
@@threestans9096 Mobile phones, wifi and similar devices just do not have robust enough electronics to emit the 600W or more of microwave energy like ovens can. The main reasons to limit radio power output on phones and wifi are battery life and minimising interference.

I previously worked under contract to maintain the right of ways for transmission lines. If we parked the work truck under the 500kv lines, not only could you hear the lines humming but the truck would also shock you if you touched anywhere the paint was chipped off.
I remember waving a hand over the end of a waveguide during radar maintenance training back in the 1970s. You could feel a warmth coming out the end of the waveguide as you passed your hand over it. Someone left their hand in the beam too long, like ten seconds, and the hand turned red and swelled up for a couple of days. Lesson learned, don’t mess with a kilowatt power magnetron! Looking down an operating waveguide will give you cataracts and the 8kV power supply will kill you.
Cataracts intensify.

for the DC motor as a speaker, the part making the sound is the rotor, not the body, so it works way better if you restrain or put a paper cone on the rotor!
I used to make floppy drives and hard drives play music, and played around with DC motor speakers for a while. I also discovered some of the capacitors on my amplifier could play sound too if they were driving a heavy load.
This made me laugh because one day at my work an old guy called and was paranoid that his microwave was leaking radiation, I explained that unless it was modified or has literal holes in the casing there was no risk at all because the hole needs to be greater than 1cm in order to have any significant leakage. He still insisted and eventually he came in and borrowed a leakage meter... later he questioned if it worked because he saw no movement while his microwave was in use. I concluded that he did not need to worry about frying his brain because it was clearly already fried and advised him to wear a foil hat while using his microwave from then on.
@11:06 in Malaysia, we use 3-pin UK plug as a standard, and all sockets use that 3-pin standard. However, there are numbers of appliances sold here, mostly imported ones, adopt the 2-pin EU standard. Most of newer extensions and wall sockets now are designed to have grooves on protective covers of neutral and live (hot in NA standard) terminals so that the EU plugs can be easily inserted into the UK sockets without adapters or putting in any non-conductive material into earth terminal to open the protective cover.

I was always warned when working around high powered RF that you will cook the whites of your eyes and may cause cataracts. Well, 30 years later - I have cataracts starting. I can still see fine but in 20 to 30 years, I may have to get it fixed. I messed with very high power VHF when I was younger and I don't know if the cataracts are from that or just being old. IMO, high power RF is OK, just beware of burns below the surface that you won't feel when they happen.
I've messed around with a lot of silly dangerous projects over the years, but there are a few things I draw the line at (now)...
high-power RF/radiation/UV-lasers (lasers was added after taking a stray reflection, still have a darkspot in one eye.). Some things are not worth the risk, and that risk becomes so much higher when you can't see/hear/feel/smell/taste it.
Worked with a few ex-radar operators, none of them were in great health, and none of them could have kids 😬
@@njones420 Yes, frickin' amazon and ebay laser 'pointers' do scare me. I've got a 5+W violet laser that I break out on Independence Day though. It's the reflections that will get you and you never see them coming.
The cataracts are due thermal effects, So unless you were in such intense radiation fields as to heat up your eyeballs I doubt that was the reason. Actually staring at forges, glory holes or fire pits is far more dangerous.
@@njones420 Radar waves cannot make you sterile, unless they raise the temperature of your gonads above 35C° but that means you have higher risk of dying from hiperthermia than getting your bawls "cooked". I cannot fathom what they could be doing to be exposed to such levels of radar energy.
@@njones420 None of the radar operators could have kids? Please do no spread these crazy ideas. I think you are confusing Ionising and non-ionising radiation. If non ionising radiation were to make you sterile, it would be from thermal effects and in the body-part you speak of, these thermal effects would be very noticeable, (pain), long before significant damage was done.

My grandpa was a lineman. He only had one apprentice. They were always warned not to be grounded underneath the disconnected, low hanging cables even when there was no power to them because the cables swaying in the wind could build up enough of a charge to kill someone. This apprentice my grandpa had walked underneath them and apparently got cooked. He never took on another apprentice after that because it shook him up too much.

@@rollinupeverest5042yes youre right, some people are more sensitive than others and then love to cry and complain, just like you 😂
Depending on the frequency, there is a good chance you could get cataracts or become infertile as a result of the radio waves heating up sensitive tissues within your body. The risk again depends on the frequency, distance between you and the antenna, as well as the amount of time spent within the field. Wifi doesn't transfer enough power to be dangerous, but a 4000 watt magnetron would do the trick

5:07, yes a DC motor can absolutely be a speaker. The motor just has to be driven by an ESC. In fact that's what the start up tones on most high end drones are. The ESC in the drone is using the brushless motors as speakers to output that sound.
A BLDC motor is something else than a (brushed) DC motor. Still works in the same way, but usually BLDC motors have much stronger magnets plus they can be held stationary to play music most accurate
One way I have seen it be used is in Mario wonder, if you run on the note block your controller will vibrate different notes.
That's also why a Siemens Taurus locomotive sounds like it's singing while starting
It also works with a brushed motor. I retrofitted a brushed trolling motor with a PWM ESC to get a smooth throttle, and it produces that same high-pitched startup song
However an electric motor is not a very good speaker and won't make a lot of noise without an amplifier. Not even talking about the mismatched impedance.

It highly depends on the design of the system. DC and AC systems act differently, also voltages are usually different and the frequencies vary also. At least here in Central Europe, you have a mix of 1,5kV DC, 3kV DC, 15kV 16,7Hz, 25kV 50Hz. Each system has its own effects. Some electric locomotives which are designed to operate in multiple countries on multiple systems have up to four separate pantographs to comply with different voltages, currents, pressures of the contact strip against the overhead catenary as well as the dimensions of the contact strip itself. Because historically multiple different systems were introduced over a relatively short period of time and the swapping of locomotives turned out to be time consuming, it is pretty common to see modern locomotives capable of running under multiple systems since the 1970s and especially since the 1990s, as technology advanced, as well as renewed former "east block" to "west block" connections. Even some "crazy" modifications of existing rolling stock were made, e.g. ČD class 340.

I thought that exposure to sufficient microwave power to heat your skin was known to be very bad for living tissue. The soldiers on the DEW line used to confirm that their radar was operating by holding their hands in front of the transmitter to feel the warmth. And after a lot of those activities their hands were severely injured. Perhaps that's a myth . . . . I think your demo may have been fairly safe in such a short duration and at fairly low unfocused power levels, but it may give the impression that there's nothing dangerous other than the high voltage. Isn't the metal shielding on a uwave oven there to protect the user, not just to reflect the radiation?
Well I'm sure it cooks you over time! I'm sure the injuries they sustained was from being internally cooked. And yes of course the metal case and shield is to also protect the user from being cooked.
Well repeated damage over time isn't good for any organs generally, I imagine repeatedly getting "almost cooked" will damage and kill sections of skin if you're doing it daily or close to that as in your story.
Yeah this is not safe when holding fingers or so in concentrated beam and feeling internal burning

I almost killed myself 2 months ago doing electrical work at home. I of course turned power down, did some work, turned on to test, it was fine, turned down again to do more, turned on again to test, turned down again. Well... on that back and forth when I wired something wrong and when I tested it didn't turned on, I forgot the main power was on. So I was messing with 2 live phases of 110V. I almost touched the exposed wires.
Thinking the power was off, the 2 110V wires touched and exploded in my face. It was so bright I couldn't see for a minute and my eyes hurt the entire rest of the day. I had soot in my face and my tshirt had burn marks. I live alone. If I had injured myself no one would know.
I was in a state of shock. I finished what I was doing just enough to turn power again with no problems. And didn't touched the rest of the things I was doing until a few weeks ago, from fear.
This kind of stuff is extremely easy to do, just a second of inattention. FWIW I've done something very similar when I was younger, absent mindedly wiped some dust off a live 240v terminal (UK) in the back of a clothes drier I was repairing. Amazingly I didn't feel a thing, but I suddenly realised what I'd done and started sweating afterwards.

UK here, and sockets all have covers over live and neutral and need the earth prong to open them first.
@@ElvenSpellmaker yes. You have to insert something in the earth to open the covers. Pen, screwdriver, another plug...
In the UK the type G sockets are often protected by a 32amp breaker at the distro panel (consumer unit), 0.75mm2 (about 19awg) cable has a current rating of 6amps, under fault conditions the cable can have over 5 times its rated current flowing through it continuously (without tripping the breaker) and will catch fire... this is the reason for the UK plug having an internal fuse as without the fuse over 7.6Kw (at 240volts) can continuously be drawn from the socket without tripping the breaker at the panel.
Other countries that use the UK’s type G socket normally protect the socket with a 16amp breaker and so under fault conditions a 0.75mm2 cable would only be overloaded by 2.7 times its rated current and is less likely to catch fire.
It's fine unless it accidentally sits crooked, has too little contact surface, overheats, melts and starts a fire

13:32 one night I walked under these and it was so quiet and so dark you can hear, feel, and with something on the road even see the static comming off of these things. Such an incredible experience.
Malta is a funny place.
I remember a hotel I stayed at had double wall sockets set into the wall, with a pair of single outlets mounted on the front... One UK, the other Euro style 😁
But yeah, we do that Euro-plug wedge here in UK too sometimes. I wouldn't do it on anything high current, as the UK socket is designed to mate with the flat sides of the UK plug, and the Euro plug has round pins, so the contact point isn't very large.
Finally a new near death experience video
Near death - probably not.
Near inhumanlt painful burn ward stay - yes.
Near being a cancer victim? No one knows for sure.
My god, he killed me when he smelled his armpit at 13:31 This is definitely one of the funniest man alive. I love you so much.
"Should be safe" is such an ElectroBOOM expression. 😂
First time me seeing your channel as well I appreciate the commitment to the content.
Biggest hazard is to your eyes. When I ran mine unshielded, my eyes burned for hours afterwards and I'm pretty sure it did permanent damage
Why did you try it at home?
@@mattymerr701 check his videos to get an idea why he would want to try stuff like that.
Stick to fridges mate
Love your ultra low temperature stuff. And I hope your eye is ok. Stay safe.
13:27 getting the Uber now Mehedi
6:09 made me anxious about his ear I thought he was about to deaf himself
Thanks for this video, and for collaborating with Rober. I was cheering for you the whole time.
3:52 I've never seen a man being happy bcuz he got burned
Mehdi, the UK plug has square pins and a fuse. The Euro plug is only speced for 2.5A and not fused. Its round pins will have a very small contact surface when inserted into a UK BS1363 socket. Also inserting requires defeating the shitter covering the live and neutral pins probably by inserting more one more unsuitable object into the hole for the earth pin. It may work, it may electrocute you, it may burn down your house.
Just het a friggin adapter or change the plug to avoid adapters entirely. Most are of bad quality anyway. I collect leads of old devices to use for such conversions so Ialso get the advantage of industrially manufactured cables.
the real danger lies in the risk of the metal caps getting stuck in the UK socket when unplugging.. you can end up with bare wire sticking out of the plug.
Nobody wants to defeat the shitter. You'll be sat on that recovering from poking things in the socket to get your electric toothbrush charging.
there's actually quite a few small electronic devices here (Malaysia) that uses the Europlug standard despite us using Type G socket
I always did this with my continental appliances when I lived in the UK. Of course you have no shielding and UK plugs have a fuse that continental plugs don't have but I never got into trouble. Maybe I was lucky. And yes, you have to put something into the third hole to remove the mechanical cover of the others. My car key worked great for that ;-)
@@RobertAtdotde The laptop that i'm typing this message from is plugged in using this method, it's fine.
You would risk that the blood immediately coagulate, because of the heating reaching inside a limb, or the blood get damaged, then coagulate anywhere inside your body, which would be not a nice way to go. This time, Electroboom took a terrible risk - really - really DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME!
Nope
He was perfectly safe the whole time
@@joeycampbell940 no you just have no idea what you're talking about
@@joeycampbell940 but he wasn’t though, was he (it’s a rhetorical question, don’t try to give an answer, you’re wrong.)
Whats the source of your information? I could not get any information about that from the 2 studies i was able to found...
And i only could find 2 searches😅 😅😅
9:21 had to be brazilians lol
UK and Euro plug thing - we've been doing this kind of round-pin-in-square-hole-thing in Sri lanka for several years now with older appliances and electrical equipment, as the Government changed us over from round pin plugs to the UK square pin plug. The connectivity is fine, but the pins can get bent over time for equipment that you regularly plug and unplug - like chargers. But for something that's not going to be regularly removed and replugged (like a TV or DVD player), it's fine.
Tata mi opowiadał jak jakiś pewny siebie, w fabryce mebli wszedł za siatkę do prasy mikrofalowej czy jakoś tak, no sygnalizator był uszkodzony który sygnalizował że generator jeszcze się nie zatrzymał, ale byla jeszcze instrukcja że chyba 15 minut powinno się poczekać przed wejsciem, minęło parę minut w szedł, jak wszedł, tak padł, na jego szczęście generator się zatrzymał na tyle szybko że udało sie go uratować.
Ah yes this MrGreenGuy who started his youtube channel as NielGreen and made AI shorts of NielRed doing crazy stuff until he noticed. I love this dude.
I'm sorry, what?
@@danielwarner9366 People started to confuse nilegreen with nile red, which red was not happy with. He politely asked green to stop making parody chemistry videos off of his stuff as while he did find them funny he also didn't want anyone to get hurt or confused about it being real and posted by him. This was mostly because nile red has nile blue for other content as well so people might assume nile green is also an official channel among other things.
Rather than being dramatic about it, nilegreenguy went 👌 and stopped, changed their name and makes their own videos now.
@@danielwarner9366 MrGreenGuy made AI mockup of NileRed under his previous channel name NileGreen. Check his channel
@@danielwarner9366 yes its true i saw it happening live, and the videos weren't "ai" completely, he just used a voice changer to sound like niel as close as possible and never showed the face, everyone knew it was a parody but there obv were some people who didn't realized that and niel had to intervene cuz he made it seem like he's going too far without precautions and people kept falling for it (though he knew what he was doing)
OMG you have to try and buy and test some stupid electrical stuff like the insane breaker at 12:09!
2:11 Mehdi Voice like a AI or Robot talking.. Indeed
Finally revealing his true form.
Mehdi*
9:54 Nice to see that Mehdi has finally recreated the Hindenburg explosion.
