I didn't realize this video had only just released, and I saw that it only had one comment 9 hours ago and it confused the hell out of me. Good morning
come to Europe
oh hi bro
Hi
Imagine breaking a bone and going to the doctor and they’re like we’re gonna need to do an x ray and you say oh no I brought my own
This Needs more likes
@@joutatheegg nope
Only it isn't so well designed that it won't, you know, throw sparks through a couple inches of empty space on occasion
They wouldn't take your xray, and insist on using 'their own' because its 'more reliable'. I've done a lot of self diagnosing using what I could either making, or getting at home testing for various things. I needed the docs prescription pad to get me the necessary meds, but always have had to pay for their stupid testing despite already knowing whats wrong. I know their just doing their job, but I did 95% of the work for them BECAUSE I couldn't afford the diagnosis process, I legit just needed the ending medication treatment
This is inherently what they should expect:
it follows the 'right to repair' and other DIY ethos. The era of 'you need to go to the Dr. to find this out' is coming to an end as tech has advanced so much that a LOT of clin lab testing and analysis (which is the backbone of diagnostic/confirmation testing) can be made or purchased cheap.
The internet contains ALL the information you'd need to know from IDing if you have salmonella vs shigella infection to how to remove an appendix (if you're really on a budget). Couple this with the fact that eventually medicine will become entirely accessible w/o prescription and suddenly a Dr is somebody you go to when you don't want to do the testing yourself or as a matter of convenience/second opinion.

Must work differently in the US to the UK. I had AF a few years back and bought a home ECG monitor. I captured multiple AF episodes over the course of a few weeks whilst I was waiting for an appointment with a cardiologist. I handed the printouts to the cardiologist on our first meeting. He looked over them, immediately confirmed the severity of the AF I was experiencing and booked me in for a cryoablation operation. It shaved weeks off my wait time as I didn't need to be fitted with a heart monitor and gather data - because I had already done that part myself.
As a German, it's insane to me that you have to pay for basic things like ambulances, X-Rays, etc...

@@oddmothfriend9790 Well it's the welfare state specifically. Capitalism as a market is actually pretty nice, but when it comes to the welfare state/social policies(healthcare, food stamps, etc) it kinda sucks. Which is why countries like Germany and Norway have a Capitalist market with a broadened welfare state more akin to what is typically seen under socialism.

My last mountain bike accident involved ambulance, 10 days in hospital, several x rays, many many pain meds, surgery for a clavicle plate, meds for home after discharge, 2 or three follow up consults etc etc….

I used to live in a small town in the mountains. I had an accident one day and dislocated 3 fingers. I put them back myself immediately. But they hurt like heck, and was worried that there might be some serious damage..... Instead of driving 20 miles to the County Hospital and paying 500$ for an x-ray and doctors consultation, I just went down to the local Veterinary Clinic instead. It only cost me 50$ for the X-ray and the consultation. She logged me as a 180lb Great Dane 🐕 for her records lol
That's hilarious. Honestly something that i would have considered if I were in your shoes
knowing those sorts of places I'm surprised the vet was not also the towns primary care physician/postman
Vets are extremely skilled at a lot of things. They have to wear so many hats at work because they can't send you to a specialist. They act as the dentist, the oncologist, the radiologist, the surgeon, and many more. Unfortunately, it's illegal for them to practice medicine on humans (unless it's an emergency).
This is one of those, “it never happened incidents.” Even though no name or location was given, this is how people get caught. Everyone in town probably knows about the vet, but everyone thinks they are the only one. Thats how hush hush that shit is.
I love the emoji after “Great Dane” it really adds a cute little pizazz

“If it’s a hissin. X-rays it’s pissin” needs to be a government mandated warning label on all new X-ray machines.

As a field engineer that works on X-ray systems, this is hilarious. One caution I would give is that most system regulate the amount of time and amps to the tube because it will overheat. So don’t leave it on for more than a few seconds or you can wreck your tube. Fancy ones spin inside and shoot the voltage in pulses to avoid overheating. Great stuff.
I love how you're more concerned about the tube breaking than getting zapped or something
@@dangerousglasses7995 As long as you aren't really stupid, you wont be getting zapped. Wearing rubber soled shoes often prevents electricity from running into you, and staying away from wires and metal prevents electricity from running through you. As for radiation, he is getting low doses in short periods of time. Prolonged exposure or extremely massive amounts of radiation can be dangerous. So was he safe? Nah, you should still never play with these things.
Could he die from this?
@@yonnieflores-najera3226 you can die from anything since anything has a potentially lethal dose.
@@yonnieflores-najera3226 yes. That power supply has far more than enough in it to stop your heart. If you somehow make physical contact and for some reason( no protection or not properly grounded) it makes a circuit. You will die, no exceptions your heart will stop.

great vid! what's really funny about this is the emphasis on radiation whilst working with a high voltage power supply with flimsy exposed wires. like the real risk here is electrocution, not radiation dose.
If you have the opportunity, go a an xray museum and look at the first xray imaging system built by the doctors themselves. Wood and metal, xraytube, sometimes with a manual crank to built the high voltage.
But the ability to do image of the body was too important for medical care to pass .
"Why is it arcing?" It's almost like it was submerged in oil for a reason.
Why was it arcing? Who knows, it was bought off ebay and taken apart by a bootleg garage engineer.
Yes the oil would slow down the electrons by colliding with the oil, causing them to aquire a negative charge. Without the oil the electrons are free travel in every direction. The stand of metal cans where just conducting the postive charged xray electrons.
I hope it's from a newer x-ray or that PCBs were never used in dental x-rays.
@@ZeroSpawn Close. Electrons can never have a positive charge. They are always negatively charged by one electron-Volt.
The rest of what you said almost makes sense as a metaphor for what is happening using the mechanics of momentum.
But the actual difference between air and oil in this application is the breakdown voltage. In dry air, the field strength for breakdown is only about 3 kV/mm, whereas in oil-cooled and oil-insulated transformers, it is about 20 kV/mm.
@@ZeroSpawn I just noticed that you called them “positive charged xray electrons”.
Actually, the arcing has almost nothing to do with the X-ray tube. Instead, it is due to the very high voltage from the high voltage power supply.
The X-ray tube has two parts as William mentioned. The filament that emits electrons (basically a light bulb) (also known as the cathode), and a target (anode) that is set to a very high voltage relative to the filament with a high voltage supply.
The strong positive charge of the anode causes the electrons emitted by the cathode to speed over to it and crash into it, generating X-rays on impact. X-rays themselves are not electrons, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation, like daylight or radio waves or microwaves.
In Sweden you'd only have to pay about 20 bucks.. if you don't show up to your appointment, that is.

We also have "free" healthcare in the UK.
I really couldn't imagine what we'd do without it.
How much do you and your employer pay in insurances and socials a year?
@@reinervonriva7102 In Australia we have a Medicare levy. If you earn over the threshold for the year of $90000 AND you don't pay for your own private healthcare insurance, $1462 will not be returned to you in your yearly tax return.
If you earn less than $90k, Medicare is mostly free.
Personally I pay the levy, as the care I get is still outstanding. (And due to a condition, I'm getting my moneys worth!)

If it works you have your own x-ray machine, and if not then you can sue him when it goes horribly wrong, genius.

I can't believe that dental X-ray tube is that small; I always assume that they were the size of two soup cans stacked on top of each other. I guess that oil was for preventing arcing, not cooling?
That's crazy. I live in Michigan and around the same time this video posted I broke my hand. I had no insurance at all, they charged me 1,400. It's almost hard for me to believe they charged you that much money for an xray.

Yeah.
Nah, Tesla loved beans. He ate so many beans he would have reall bad fart-problems.
So bad infact, that his peers tried to hide all his beans so that Tesla wouldn't fart around the whole lab and cause a nuisance.
But one day, when his mates walked in, they found hin working on his Tesla coils and they would smell the most gnarly odour they had ever thought possible.
But Tesla was the only oke in the room, and as their eyes glared the room, they saw the reason, Tesla had found the beans they hid from him, and saw the can right beside him when he was working on his electronics, and they exclaimed:
"dammit why are the beans so close to the high voltage"

I live in Kenya. An X-Ray cost about $7. MRIs can be expensive though at around $100.
A couple years ago, I somehow caught a rare form of strep that turned into pneumonia in the middle of summertime. It was bad. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Months later I got the bill… in the bill, and I am not even joking here, there was a charge that blew my mind. They charged me $12.00 for one single individually wrapped Halls cough drop. There was also a charge for Tylenol. They gave them to me two at a time, multiple times. For two Tylenol, each time, was $19.00. I will never understand how that is legal.
It shouldn’t be, the medial system is a racket people die every day because they don’t have access to any kind of even reasonably affordable health care and insurance, like how are you supposed to pay 500 dollars a month for medical insurance ontop of mortgage or rent payments on top of power bills ontop of water bills on top of insurance for your car on top of possible car payments on top of grocery costs like, it’s insane, they wonder why so many people live in poverty, they make it impossible to live, there’s no reason why we can’t have at least affordable health care when other countries make free healthcare work just fine, Germany has free healthcare and they have some of the best healthcare on the entire planet, here in the US they don’t care about patients, we’re clients to them it’s all about draining as much money as possible out of us
Jfc...because of how chronically ill I am the staff at my local ER recognize my face, I could not imagine being charged for individually wrapped paracetamol or cough drops when I can buy those things at my local drug store for cheaper. Mind you I'm Canadian and while we may have universal-ish healthcare you're fucked if you have any rare diseases or are indigenous, even with all the qualms I have with the ableist and colonialist bs and the bureaucratic hoop jumping stupidity that is the Canadian healthcare system I tell myself at least I'm not being robbed blind by insurance companies for plastic wrap Hahaha please help this is a cry for help
when he first showed his bean can setup, i said "thats a lot of metal around a 60000 volt power source". sure enough it was.

I feel over at work the other day and had to get an x-ray done on my chest a few days later ( still hurts even after a week) thankfully I'm in the UK and just took myself( in pain ofc ) to the walk in A&E at my local hospital sat around for a few hours went through triage and then not long later the radiographer called me into a room for an x-ray, then about 15 mins later the Dr called me into another room and explained the results of the x-ray too me. the only cost ? 2 single bus tickets too and from the hospital a grand total of £4 ( about 5.5 usd)
In India the charges for x-ray is ranges between 300-1000₹ approx-5-12$
In Italy is kind of like this
I charge 3 dollars in my basement
Caretaker: _"Is it safe?"_
William: _"Yes"_
Caretaker's face: *press X to doubt*
I think the conductivity of the cans is the only reason why regular X-ray machines don’t use a bean can based scaffold.
Not possible, the beans work well because they are reinforced legumes, so hospitals are just adding a bunch of mumbo jumbo to the machines to make it seem fancier which lets them charge more money
Nice video! I'm glad health care is free on my country
“Damn it, why are the beans so close to the high voltage?” has me in tears. This whole video is hilarious but that question is gold
I know, im quite the conductor
This is the most entertaining cancer speedrun I've ever witnessed
Ok, living in Europe it's insane to see that a medical procedure could put somebody to near bankruptcy/massive debt. Our system might not be perfect but it's a whole lot better than not using it because you cannot afford it/are trapped in a job for the insurance.
I got an X-ray before school yesterday since I broke my hand a week ago. It was free (if you subtract the 52,3% income tax). Not complaining in any way and I’m happy to live in Swedish 🇸🇪
The high voltage generator needs a sign saying 'if you hear popping your heart might be stopping'

Yes

"Damn it, why are the beans so close to the high voltage" that is absolutely 100% a new sentence. No one on earth had ever said that before William.
unless you were shopping and someone left a can of beans near the variety section of the mountain dew area.

The way the beans aren’t even all aligned in the stack really adds something to the video.
i love how william's magnum opus isn't his most notable or significant project, it's his most dangerous.
I'd say this is pretty significant. He could probably make a living building X-ray machines and create a new industry of black exam centers for people who urgently need USA's healthcare system fixed (and finally forcing prices to go down on this test at least). Would save lives, probably.
Magnum opus? The only magnum opus is in MAD MAX

I need one too. I was admitted to the hospital some time ago for an x-ray and they took whole 0PLN (0$) from me. Im outraged. How can public health care be so bad???
