Cool project! For a general DC motor you are actually increasing the power going through it by the square of the voltage, so multiplying the voltage by four, means 16 times the power (doesn't necesarily translate to 16x the speed though :P). Beyond that, I'm going to be a massive safety nanny: PLEASE for the love of everything cover up that ring on your finger when fiddling around with lithium ion cells (or any current capable source). Electrothermal ring burns are a thing and usually end up with an amputated finger.

I was always disappointed with the speed of my power wheels Jeep. However, instead of connecting a larger battery, I was more concerned with making the windscreen wipers work, which I did.
@@EwanMarshall actually those lithium 18650 batteries are almost impossible to explode. They usually have a built in safety device on the battery It's the square box like ones that will explode on you if your not careful. Different chemicals.
Square and cylinders can be the same or different it has nothing to do with the shape. Worked on L-ions for 7 years. the safety built into most batteries (BMS) are for overcharge and overuse. The main reason batteries catch fire from shorting is due to the amount current moving generates a ton of heat. This destabilizes it and the ensuing L-ion fire begins. the batteries themselves can handle small duration's of shorted like output if you keep them cool. To be fair though, I can't say for all square types but I do know a few types that have thermal overload protection built in, but it is a fail safe that destroys the cell.
Linus is a big kid at heart lol love how he made the toy jeep go really fast but forgot to add a breaking system. He can Tokyo drift in that thing too, I'm impressed lol
Seriously how did Alex end up as the builder/engineer of LTT? I imagine the interview went something like: Linus: Have you built anything before?

When modifying an Electric Vehicle for more performance. Overvolting the original motors, is easy. What's a concern, is if the motors are overheating from the higher voltage. So to prevent the motors from overheating, which can melt/burn winding insulation, and demagnetize magnets it may use. You will need to limit the current, with something like a Cycle Analyst, or a programmable motor controller. And if you're using brushed motors, instead of Brushless, then you also need to worry about arcing. With electric motors. Higher voltage means higher top-speed and rate of acceleration. Setting higher current limits, means more torque, but you will drain the batteries quicker, and you will be more likely to damage the motor & battery from overheating. If using a bushed motor, you're limited by the voltage you can use, because arcing will become more of an issue. If using or switching to a Brushless motor & controller. Then not only can you use it in rain (with electrical connections sealed and packed with Dielectric Grease, so they too can handle moisture), but if you also control temperature with current limits, and maybe making a great cooling system. Then the only limitation to voltage, is the motor spinning so fast, that it starts damaging itself, from centrifugal forces, and the bearings may have issues too. But if you set your voltage or top-speed limit before that point, then you should be ok. And personally, I recommend making an Ultra-Capacitor pack, to wire in parallel with the batteries, to make things easier on the batteries. Like Brake-Regeneration, and the spike in load, when accelerating hard from a dead stop, especially when going uphill.
@@bigmike8586 I don't think that will work, because that will cool one side of the motor, and I don't think it will heat sink the other side quickly enough, before the other side is damaged by heat. If you're not going to switch to a higher wattage liquid cooled motor, that can better handle your expectations, in the space you can provide for it. Then maybe you can have one of those combined radiators or intercoolers that race cars use, where chilled fluid flows through one side, and the fluid on the other side, is pumped to and from whatever tucked away thing you're cooling, like a ribbon of thin pipe, wrapped and thermal pasted around the the motor you oddly still won't trade up from. It's like a radiator integrated with the evaporator core of an air conditioner. Fluids are not directly flowing from one to the other, but they are close enough to transfer heat, like an electrical transformer transfers alternating current, while keeping both sides isolated from each other. Understand?
@@bigmike8586 I was describing Air-to-water intercoolers, and something similar to the Dodge Demon power chiller, but chills antifreezing coolant, or even Evans Waterless Coolant, instead of cooling intake air...then again, if the weak motor you still want to use, is air cooled. Then you can make a housing around it, to flow filtered, chilled air through it.
You could have at least also spent like $2 on a set of XT60 connectors, surely? Or maybe its bigger XT90 brother. Your soldering technique was mostly fine, though. I wouldn't have soldered the terminals while those modular bits were connected to the batteries in case the heat from the soldering iron went through to the cells and damaged them, and you probably could have used a high-mass soldering iron, but the "Heat up the wire, then add solder to the wire" method is how you're actually supposed to solder stuff.

Ewan Marshall i wish I could have an intellectual conversation about this stuff with you, but sadly all I know is that they’re the same I have in my vape. I know nothing about electronics in this sense.
Lithium batteries can be very dangerous. Never leave both the positive and negative wires/terminals exposed at the same time. Keep them insulated at all times except when you need to work on one of them, in which case work on one, then insulate it again before starting on the other. When you join the wires to a connector always insulate the ones you join before going on to the next one. Also, you need to be careful with the wire routing and protection on the finished battery. You need to be sure that the wires can't rub on each other or rub through the insulation. A short in a lithium battery can turn into a very powerful firework. You cannot extinguish it with normal means. It will eject fierce flames while the individual cells explode and shoot their cases out like bullets so you can't get near it. Be careful! I'm not trying to be a smart-ass nor a killjoy. I work with lithium batteries a lot. This is what you're up against: ruclips.net/video/hRlAZkv8EPM/видео.html
11:42 **BOMB HAS BEEN PLANTED** I lost it xD On a side note: Do I get more FPS if I add one of those to my GPU?? This R9 290x could use some more volts.
@@fulafisken I like this too, even better when Linus said in a livestream, that his videos are not tutorials, and yes made to spark interest in tecnology on people, so they can think "Oh, this stuff exists?", and start searching more deeply into it, while also maintaining the entertainment aspect of the video, attracting both the "I wanna learn" and the "Entertainment consumer" viewers.
with 30V DC? Well, if you have liquid metal in your vaines, that could be deadly, but not, if your human. My modeltrain runs with up to 24V AC and I´m still alive, ;)
The thing is that CRT TV is very unlikely to explode. However,stall that little motor and you have a recipe for explosion,fire or meltdown. He needs an overcurrent protection,fuse and also way thicker wires. One 18650 battery can deliver more than 10 amps in a short circuit. Go figure.
Bah, he is not getting electrocuted. You can not get electrocuted with such a small amount of DC voltage, heck, you start feeling a bit of a buzz in your fingers with 400 volts DC. he was just shorting the battery, which dont get me wrong, is VERY dangerous with a battery this size, you can weld steel with that but the li-ion cells will probably go nuclear quite fast.
Seeing the tire come off the power wheel and seeing him roll over was pretty hilarious also (and the fact he cared more about his phone more than wrecking his kids toy, which is even funnier if his phone had one of the cases that they often advertise from one of their sponsors as being supposedly near indestructible yet Linus was immediately concerned).
@@Mylity66 Oh yes you can! The welder at work was set at 20 volts and I held onto the tire while I welded on the body of a truck. The current went from the nozzle, through my body and my hand on the tire was getting shocked. Yes, on rubber! Never underestimate the power of electricity, even the small amounts.
Linus, you killed VRUZEND website, not surprised or anything, just saying... "The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later."
wait..that would work out as linus = linus == desaster = desaster....how did he not blow up any building yet? we all know there would at least one vid about it.
The Verge builds a lithium battery pack: *host holds soldering iron by tip enclosure/heating element while letting all the leads short as a massive plume of flame emerges from the battery cells* I didn't even let the power supply touch the case, so how is it shorting out?
You don't have to worry about making enemies with the verge, one of their producers said something on the lines of RUclipsrs not being comparable to Journalists.
Neither Verge or Linus are taking each others jobs anytime soon. Their video team does produce video with pretty high quality production. The Verge does do pretty decent Journalism too (sometimes). I miss the Josh Topolsky days.
I see lot of traditional arrogance with that statement, personally I think even professional journalist's bias can make big difference in their overall review & some of these youtube reviewers give more honest (or different lol) opinion.
Its not you its the batteries that die from shorting the wires. 24V is not even enough to tickle you, als long as your hands are dry. And even with wet hands, the worst that can happen is that you burn your skin.
@@Igeltod It's not about the voltage, nor even the amperage, in this case. Lithium batteries are prone to thermal runaway on dead shorting, and Lithium fires aren't a joke. If that's not bad enough, these things are prone to not just lighting on fire, but exploding when abused. Most of the videos of people's vapes exploding in their pockets and causing severe damage are from dead shorting the battery, usually damaged wraps or unwrapped batteries in metal casings. Mostly mech mods. 18650 batts aren't toys, and they absolutely can cause a ton of damage if you f*** up.
Different type of battery. Cellphones use a Li-Po cell which is unprotected and a bit different chemical make up. I didn't really watch the entire episode; however I can tell you they were using a 18650 or 20700 Li-Ion cell commonly used in Laptops and other "older" consumer electronics, they are generally the cell composition of cordless tool batteries as well. The only things to watch for with Li-Ion cells like this is over charging, over discharging and damaging the wrap on them. Seeing as the entire outer casing is a part of the negative terminal, damaged wraps can cause a short which would be extremely bad. Li-Po cells you can drop from a high enough height and cause them to burst into flames. But when you attach them to a drone it will go 100MPH :D
At 11:43 Linus starts drifting around the office, running over stuff and generally disturbing people. For all of you who don't want to watch the "boring" bit. A mere 28 Seconds later at 12:11 he's already involved in a severe crash but managed to survive without injury.
Not to mention, not wearing any electrical safety PPE while dealing with lethal levels of current potential with a battery technology that can discharge enough current to blow a finger off.
@@S1L3N7D3A7H This is not true. 24 volts isn't a lethal amount of voltage, so the current capability doesn't matter. How can current blow a finger off? The only thing capable of that would be the amount of voltage and current at a power substation. Don't mess around there.
DIY lithium.... "uh oh" Looking at a 4 wire charge controller wondering it it balanced "oh yeah we're going to see some fire" To be fair, I was kinda hoping for some fire.
I think it's funny that he mentioned he's thinking of putting an ESC into the thing. I would expect those things to be super cheap brushed DC motors. Why would a company put brushless motors and an ESC in a kids toy that'll might be left in the rain.
Haha, this is one of my LTT favorites! First, I like Linus' innocence towards Lithium batteries. I wired up a lithium battery pack in my master's thesis (it was about 10 times the size of this battery though), and it made me quite nervous to know that connecting a wire incorrectly might vaporize the wire in my hands ;) . I triple checked that a conenction is correct before I made it, and Linus is just like "let's throw this thing together"! Second, I love seeing how much fun Linus has riding those little toy cars.
Couple tips Linus. Ive done overvolting on a few of these things, and my daughter loves them. Get some heatsinks for those motors, you can find them for RC cars (as well as the same size replacement motors, but with a bit more longevity). Maybe a fan, you should be able to find a 12v fan laying around ;-) Upgrade the wiring when you have time. If you have terrain around you, they will get hot. If you have sounds to run, a buck board will take care of those nicely. Oh, and an easy conversion is to use a battery pack from 18 or 20v tools. My girl's 4 wheeler runs on craftsman packs (since I have a lot of those around) and we get about 3 laps of the neighborhood out of each one, or about 15 min, before it has to cool down and be re-charged, and swapped out with a new pack.
Oh, the way I hook the tool packs up is with one of the slow chargers I have sitting here, which, if you wire it right, can still be used to charge up the vehicle. No messing around with 3d printed stuff or hacking packs, it makes for a safe connector that even a 5 year old can change out safely.
I thought the Hacksmith, would be a guy to mess around stuff like that. Plus, what about an Hacksmith/LTT crossover in helping James(Hacksmith) in a server(by dubs, both of them are in Canada)
Wearing his wedding ring while handling those loose and live wires scared the shit out of me. Especially after he shorted them out accidentally. Dry hands are relatively safe around 24 volts, but shorted through a piece of metal wrapped around his finger would turn into a branding iron.
Colin Furze and Photonicinduction are also from a country with affordable health care. If Kreosan are as well, it appears that such promotes experimentation.
11:40 gives me the vibe of an "the office" episode. I can see michael zooming with the cart thru the Dunder Mifflin office space, Dwight running behind him and Jim telling the camera that he hacked the breaking.

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass nor a killjoy. I work with lithium batteries a lot.
This is what you're up against:

He loses a wheel, tumbles to the side, and the first thing he checks is his phone for damage. #priorities 😂😂😂

Sleek Tech but normally when u flip a car and lose a tire, you'd check the car
Its sort of #RapidUnintentionalDisassembly
12:13 wheel is loss and damaged 😂😂.

With Liquid metal?
Liquid metal isn't an adhesive as far as i know. So liquid metal water cool it with a car radiator.
noctua´s
The batteries need it more really.
11:42 **BOMB HAS BEEN PLANTED** I lost it xD
On a side note: Do I get more FPS if I add one of those to my GPU?? This R9 290x could use some more volts.
Yup for sure that's a 100% good idea just make sure that you don't burn down your house and kill 10 people lmao
Don't bring Linus on such ideas else he will definitely put one of them on a gpu
You better make sure you got ln2 cooling before turning it into a nvidia gpu. True AMD fans will understand.
To sdd more power to an R9 you need to add the nVidia upgrade
Oh yeah, how did I forget that. You need an nVidia vrm board to be able to power it, as those nVidia's draw more power then a datacenter.
I'm an Electrician. This hurts me on so many levels...
It hurts to hear that 24v dc kan kill you

To be fair they never claimed this was a tutorial... :) which is a good thing.
@@fulafisken I like this too, even better when Linus said in a livestream, that his videos are not tutorials, and yes made to spark interest in tecnology on people, so they can think "Oh, this stuff exists?", and start searching more deeply into it, while also maintaining the entertainment aspect of the video, attracting both the "I wanna learn" and the "Entertainment consumer" viewers.

that channel is dead anyway since the departure of Nicky V

12:16 falls, dosent care about the pain
Nah dude
Hows my phone
MFW I'M A REAL Techie!
What pain? Am I missing something?
once i fall from motorbike, i was hurt, nothin broken, but all i did was pickin up the bike and checkin if the parts are in place.
I mean, its not a bad fall, a wallet and time for a phone stings more
yessss hahaha
Millenniums in a nutshell..lol
Why does DIY and Lithium battery in the same sentence sound like a very bad idea?
Because it is one.
Because Lithium can catch fire. And Linus could have electrocuted himself and died on camera :(
with 30V DC? Well, if you have liquid metal in your vaines, that could be deadly, but not, if your human. My modeltrain runs with up to 24V AC and I´m still alive, ;)
I think you spelled DIY House Fire wrong.
The thing is that CRT TV is very unlikely to explode.
However,stall that little motor and you have a recipe for explosion,fire or meltdown.
He needs an overcurrent protection,fuse and also way thicker wires.
One 18650 battery can deliver more than 10 amps in a short circuit.
Go figure.
Soooo Linus,
You fancy Mr Colin Furze ?
Its not DIY Lithium Batteries until you harvest your own lithium ore
You need about 200 ore to craft a battery. Also need the scrap metal which you can find during side missions or loot from enemies.
No one mines Lithium Solid Ore. Commercial "mining" is done with Brine Liquid.
ruclips.net/video/50rXYrFCQMw/видео.html - Brine Evap Pools.
@@ShahimCalicut lol
Eh, kind of arbitrary to say harvesting ore is diy but harvesting lithium from batteries isn't. But I digress
It seems that just putting together cells is what is required to DIY "battery" , as per your suggestion, this isn't make a battery "from scratch".
The subtle little music sting when Linus says "First things first" is...*chef's kiss*
“The bomb has been planted.”
😂😂😂
Ohh no this joke is so bad that it is funny again ....
nothing better than watching linus getting shocked by electricity.
Electroboom approves

Linus’ replacement car from the honda civic.
when i was a kid my dad hooked up a car battery to my powerwheels jeep, i had to charge it with jumpercables
I did that once, it was super jeep for about a minute until it melted every wire lol
inb4 they organise a race with those things :D

And bring Nicky V
Like this? www.powerracingseries.org/
A nice and dangerous upgrade would be wheelbarrow wheels :D Extra grip!
Is it wrong that i'm most entertained when ever the battery electrocutes Linus.
Bah, he is not getting electrocuted. You can not get electrocuted with such a small amount of DC voltage, heck, you start feeling a bit of a buzz in your fingers with 400 volts DC. he was just shorting the battery, which dont get me wrong, is VERY dangerous with a battery this size, you can weld steel with that but the li-ion cells will probably go nuclear quite fast.
no, i learned not to sip drinks when hes "tooled"..i go thru less kb that way
Watch eletro boom for that
Seeing the tire come off the power wheel and seeing him roll over was pretty hilarious also (and the fact he cared more about his phone more than wrecking his kids toy, which is even funnier if his phone had one of the cases that they often advertise from one of their sponsors as being supposedly near indestructible yet Linus was immediately concerned).
@@Mylity66 Oh yes you can! The welder at work was set at 20 volts and I held onto the tire while I welded on the body of a truck. The current went from the nozzle, through my body and my hand on the tire was getting shocked. Yes, on rubber! Never underestimate the power of electricity, even the small amounts.
Linus, you killed VRUZEND website, not surprised or anything, just saying... "The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later."
I bought from Vruzend a month ago. It was about a 3 week lead time then. Who knows now.
Well that's what you get for cheaping out on your hosting.

11:40 one of the best editing
The CS sound cracked me up...
I was sipping some coffee.
Did anyone else see the nut fall off, right before Linus turned and the wheel flew off?
After going back to watch it at quarter speed, yes. How did no one notice and warn him?
Linus + flammable battery = disaster
Linus+anything=disaster
linus=disaster
*WHAT COULD GO WRONG*
Linus + Expensive electronics = Drop
wait..that would work out as linus = linus == desaster = desaster....how did he not blow up any building yet? we all know there would at least one vid about it.
The Verge builds a lithium battery pack: *host holds soldering iron by tip enclosure/heating element while letting all the leads short as a massive plume of flame emerges from the battery cells* I didn't even let the power supply touch the case, so how is it shorting out?
Lol
Did he remember his anti-static rubber bracelet and swiss army knife that may have the correct tool?
No they will weld the contacts togather.Lol.
So this is a kit from an Indian Brand that I myself own. It is so good that I have shipped some to my friends abroad for diy projects! Amazing it is!
You don't have to worry about making enemies with the verge, one of their producers said something on the lines of RUclipsrs not being comparable to Journalists.
Neither Verge or Linus are taking each others jobs anytime soon. Their video team does produce video with pretty high quality production. The Verge does do pretty decent Journalism too (sometimes). I miss the Josh Topolsky days.
Joseph Halder apart for the part of them being up Apples arse
I see lot of traditional arrogance with that statement, personally I think even professional journalist's bias can make big difference in their overall review & some of these youtube reviewers give more honest (or different lol) opinion.
ArduinoBen Xd
Should rename the video to "Linus almost dies 3 times":
10:35 shorts the battery
10:50 shorts the battery AGAIN
12:12 car crashes
Its not you its the batteries that die from shorting the wires. 24V is not even enough to tickle you, als long as your hands are dry. And even with wet hands, the worst that can happen is that you burn your skin.
@@Igeltod Voltage doesn't kill you, electric current does.
@@LeGoog2008 Voltage penetrates and amperage kills. Like said before, 24Vdc is way below ELV and is considered as low risk
@@liamburke4406 guys, how to do extra battery for EUC (electric unicycle)?
@@Igeltod It's not about the voltage, nor even the amperage, in this case. Lithium batteries are prone to thermal runaway on dead shorting, and Lithium fires aren't a joke. If that's not bad enough, these things are prone to not just lighting on fire, but exploding when abused. Most of the videos of people's vapes exploding in their pockets and causing severe damage are from dead shorting the battery, usually damaged wraps or unwrapped batteries in metal casings. Mostly mech mods. 18650 batts aren't toys, and they absolutely can cause a ton of damage if you f*** up.
The note 7. The note 7 is what could go wrong.
Different type of battery. Cellphones use a Li-Po cell which is unprotected and a bit different chemical make up. I didn't really watch the entire episode; however I can tell you they were using a 18650 or 20700 Li-Ion cell commonly used in Laptops and other "older" consumer electronics, they are generally the cell composition of cordless tool batteries as well. The only things to watch for with Li-Ion cells like this is over charging, over discharging and damaging the wrap on them. Seeing as the entire outer casing is a part of the negative terminal, damaged wraps can cause a short which would be extremely bad. Li-Po cells you can drop from a high enough height and cause them to burst into flames. But when you attach them to a drone it will go 100MPH :D
wooosh time

At 11:43 Linus starts drifting around the office, running over stuff and generally disturbing people. For all of you who don't want to watch the "boring" bit.
A mere 28 Seconds later at 12:11 he's already involved in a severe crash but managed to survive without injury.
What could go wrong?
Well with Linus it's more like what will go right.

You forgot the "bomb has been planted" at 11:42
Not to mention, not wearing any electrical safety PPE while dealing with lethal levels of current potential with a battery technology that can discharge enough current to blow a finger off.
12:12 The wheel fell off this project.
@@S1L3N7D3A7H This is not true. 24 volts isn't a lethal amount of voltage, so the current capability doesn't matter. How can current blow a finger off? The only thing capable of that would be the amount of voltage and current at a power substation. Don't mess around there.
I never expected to watch another Top Gear episode on LTT (almost expected Clarkson, Hammond, and May)! Bravo!
As an electronics engineer who's built multiple small electric vehicles, this entire video made me uncomfortable
me too.
DIY lithium.... "uh oh"
Looking at a 4 wire charge controller wondering it it balanced "oh yeah we're going to see some fire"
To be fair, I was kinda hoping for some fire.
I think it's funny that he mentioned he's thinking of putting an ESC into the thing. I would expect those things to be super cheap brushed DC motors. Why would a company put brushless motors and an ESC in a kids toy that'll might be left in the rain.
Sounds like he was watching some videos already about upgrades, he might have missed some details.
And those exposed battery wires... Made me cringe throughout the entire video.
Haha, this is one of my LTT favorites!
First, I like Linus' innocence towards Lithium batteries. I wired up a lithium battery pack in my master's thesis (it was about 10 times the size of this battery though), and it made me quite nervous to know that connecting a wire incorrectly might vaporize the wire in my hands ;) . I triple checked that a conenction is correct before I made it, and Linus is just like "let's throw this thing together"!
Second, I love seeing how much fun Linus has riding those little toy cars.
Finally Linus buy an fully electric car...
They're pretty stupid ATM, the range is bad, charging speed is bad, hybrids are better for practicality
@@loooooopy man just get a 12 volt
They're practical unless you're driving the full ~200 mile range every single day
"we aren't trying to make enemies"
well The Verge is making enemies anyway
next video guys my diy lithium battery burned down our studio
Crushonius Just need to burn down the server room.😂
Just takes his insurance payment and runs to the Caribbean
Lol
NOT CLICKBAIT
Li-Ion isn't as bad as a LiPo for being unsafe. those batteries will burst into flames if you look at them wrong... (not really)
Couple tips Linus. Ive done overvolting on a few of these things, and my daughter loves them. Get some heatsinks for those motors, you can find them for RC cars (as well as the same size replacement motors, but with a bit more longevity). Maybe a fan, you should be able to find a 12v fan laying around ;-) Upgrade the wiring when you have time. If you have terrain around you, they will get hot.
If you have sounds to run, a buck board will take care of those nicely.
Oh, and an easy conversion is to use a battery pack from 18 or 20v tools. My girl's 4 wheeler runs on craftsman packs (since I have a lot of those around) and we get about 3 laps of the neighborhood out of each one, or about 15 min, before it has to cool down and be re-charged, and swapped out with a new pack.
Oh, the way I hook the tool packs up is with one of the slow chargers I have sitting here, which, if you wire it right, can still be used to charge up the vehicle. No messing around with 3d printed stuff or hacking packs, it makes for a safe connector that even a 5 year old can change out safely.
"just wait for the verge to do this, that will make me feel better"

I first thought Linus is about to build his own lithium primary cells out of chemicals. XD
That's what I thought when I saw the title too
Real diy shit
That background "wahwah" sounds makes me want to pull my hair out.
That's part of it- it's supposed to complete the descent into madness of any EV technicians watching this video...
I thought it was my headphones xD
gotta have a wawa
Is so unsettling
Yvonne is looking at this situation in a way that screams "why did I marry this???"
Nah, she said she has 4 kids not 3
Because linus is a late bloomer.
She's calculating what is going to do when she inherits the company
The verge would probably put insulating pads in this case to reduce the shock XD
DIY Lithium-Ion Battery... What could go wrong?
*Everything.*
cooperation with colin furze coming soon
I thought the Hacksmith, would be a guy to mess around stuff like that. Plus, what about an Hacksmith/LTT crossover in helping James(Hacksmith) in a server(by dubs, both of them are in Canada)
LTT plans it, Colin builds the Kart, Electroboom builds the motor controller and drive train.
10:15 “Don’t want to make enemy’s with the Verge”, nice foresight!
I fear a 'it was at this moment he knew he f'd up' moment coming..

Wearing his wedding ring while handling those loose and live wires scared the shit out of me. Especially after he shorted them out accidentally. Dry hands are relatively safe around 24 volts, but shorted through a piece of metal wrapped around his finger would turn into a branding iron.

Electroboom approves of this video
Ilannguaq Jonathansen they need to collab
OMG... LTT/Electroboom collab would be so weird.. and.. awesome!
Sushant S Nair They are both in Vancouver, they only need some kind of excuse to shoot something together.
Colin Furze and Photonicinduction are also from a country with affordable health care. If Kreosan are as well, it appears that such promotes experimentation.
11:40 gives me the vibe of an "the office" episode. I can see michael zooming with the cart thru the Dunder Mifflin office space, Dwight running behind him and Jim telling the camera that he hacked the breaking.
