this happened at my house when the mains crossed on my underground wiring. fried anything that wasnt 240 already. however the box fan literally started propelling itself accross the floor and unplugged itself before it died 😂.
I had one of those ear-trimmer clippers that wouldn't run anymore on an AA battery, so I just spliced a 5V AC adapter onto it. It got hot and I made a point of putting the blades under the faucet before using it, but it worked much more aggressively than when new for a couple of years that way.
It's the frequency that controls the speed not the volts but they certainly have more torque at the higher voltage due to the higher coil current and of course eventually the coils burn out due to drawing roughly 4 times the power they should.
We bought a Waterpik flosser last January before a family trip to Australia despite my warnings to my mother that Australia's 240 volts of line power would fry it! Sure enough...
Gary is probably the person who hand drew that PCB in the clock. A Variac is more fun here in the UK as it allows you to overvolt even 230v stuff. I blew quite a lot of American stuff up on it when we were refurbishing the lab starting at 110v and then ramping up the volts until the magic smoke came out. I remember that 110v AC fans don't go any faster on 275v but they definitely run buzzier and hotter until they release the magic smoke!
"Just gonna back that ass up".... i had to replay that part over again and try not to piss myself whilst laughing. Great vid guys. Thank you. Look forward to more. Paul from Melbourne, Australia 👏👏👏
Very ancient video I know, but if you ever decide to revisit this idea, perhaps try daisy-chaining two step-up transformers together for 460 volts (assuming they'll function like that?).
@@J19_vlogger74 That one I actually found at a thrift store long ago. I think it was probably originally intended to be used to operate European travel items in the US. I would check eBay or even AliExpress since longevity and reliability are obviously not a factor.
I think the Massey fan went short circuit and thats why the transformer burned up and blew the breaker. You should get a bigger transformer and a bigger breaker.
I was fixing an old 1980's generator made in Australia. I got it going and had to reflash the generator by putting a fan on it. I use a pedestal fan which had a bad capacitor and ran slow on 240 volt but when I hooked it up to the generator it was spinning so fast it was ridiculous but pretty cool. I checked the voltage and 240 volt but the frequency insted of 50 hz went up to 120 hz. Lol. It was so old but the AVR was pretty sophisticated. In the end i scrapped it because no parts available anymore!
Apparently, all three are marked "120v 60 Hz only" but as I have seen on bigclivedotcom's videos, most modern electronic ballasts seem to handle that wide voltage range. Something about the power supply being a combination of a capacitive dropper and a bridge rectifier and some varistors that allow the ballast to self-regulate. Unfortunate for me and/or this video though! LOL. And you're gonna be mentioned in an upcoming video, I mean, WOW, that gift couldn't have come at a better time, considering the subject of a couple recent videos. Thank you for that.
Twice the voltage provides crudely 4 times the power I = V/R. On newer technology they have PWM power control and will support 240 volts. Sometimes the PWM chip goes out - and this happens regardless of the voltage This would often happen in my area - there are a lot of homes with old "knob and tube" wiring and beautiful finish nobody wants to rip out. One way of increasing the power available to the whole house was to split up the circuit - often leading to "L1" being on the neutral and "L2" on the hot
in 1992 or 1993 , without thinking switched my familys new 386/40mhz pc power supply to witch i remember been 115v. crack and pop, power supply and 80mb hdd was blown up and possibly more stuff. I was a kid and i knew i f*cked it up and switched it back to 220v. It had warranty and company fixed it with new parts, no questions asked. It was way too easy to use to switch. Sorry my english, its not native.
Great video! I realize I'm 7 years late, but if you want to try this I suggest nixing the transformer entirely and just using 240V power which you already have at your breaker panel. If you don't have a 240V outlet you can take two 120V extension cords and plug them into outlets on two separate circuits on opposite legs of your panel. Check with a voltmeter and make sure you have 240V between both cords. Then rig whatever you're "testing" to plug into both cord ends. Yes it's more work and yes you will be relying on two separate breakers, but you'll have more power available since the transformer is limited as to how much power it can supply before it goes up in smoke.
Thing is that it's still running the same wattage so you would need to tap into the dryer outlet and get 240 volts with 3000 watts but if it's just about voltage then you need should step it up to over 9000 volts
No, it isn't running the same wattage. Depending on the type of load, it could be drawing nearly 4x it's normal power at 2x rated voltage. Best thing for busting electronics is anything from around 500V to 5kV at considerable current (at least 20kVA apparent power).
No the power draw will definitely increase with the increased voltage, about 4x the power with 2x the voltage. That's why in the one clip his transformer let the magic smoke out
Very cool! You need to invest in a real transformer like the one I used for my power strip overloading tests! That one has 240V, 480V and 600V(!) taps on it.... and will put out 3000 watts all day long......
Yep, there will be more to come, and upgrades as well ;-) I just happened to have three of these transformers in a bin, no idea what specifically their original use would have been, because they all have the normal US standard outlet on them...so that sort of defies logic. Any foreign 230v appliance wouldn't have the US plug on it, but maybe it's that way for plug-adaptor use.
One word - China. In China many household goods have the standard 2-flat-blade plug like we have. Their standard outlet has the ability to accept a round pin or flat-blade plug. Many of the China domestic market devices have the 2-flat-blade plug WITHOUT the holes in the ends of the blades like ours do.
I remember as an electrician apprentice our journeyman and I were putting in a large LED sign at a sports complex. He tapped into the office lighting circuit which was 277v. Needless to say it started to boot up and we heard a huge bang from inside the unit. Then the horrid oder of burning electronics and medical bandage started to permeate the room.
Great video as always! Why do thermal fuses always have to ruin the fun? Interestingly enough, I have a funky outlet in my garage that has 310 written on it. I'm not sure if it is 310 volts, but it would do for burning stuff up!
Thanks! And yep, next time I'm just gonna bypass them from the start. And 310 would be a weird voltage (in the US anyhow) because it's generally multiples of 120'ish, based on the supply transformer to the house. 120, 240, 480, etc, with 208 and 277 being exceptions, usually on three-phase service to businesses.
I thought the alarm clock or any similar device would just get its fuse blown and not work any more until that is replaced. A lot of things have a fuse and sometimes it is one of those glass ones that looks like some sort of strange light bulb. Sometimes you just have to open the thing up to get to it and sometimes it may even be soldered in there for some reason (to make replacing it a pain)
I'm pretty sure a TV would simply make a single pop and be done... A hair dryer is a good idea, especially since the fan will probably fail more quickly than the elements :-) Not sure if my transformer would support the 6 or so amps though. I'd like to explore bigger transformers, or maybe even some sort of rig involving our existing 240v outlet (not shown, but to the right of the video just past the white cabinets.) Actually, that's an idea. I could rig up a power cable, plug it into that outlet, and use a contactor...that would give me remote control, too...so I could stand way back and not be limited to 3 feet away. Huh...ideas, ideas... :-)
Harley Badger great, i was also thinking about you could try to pop a big industrial incandescent light buld unlike the european 240v our 240v outlet have 2 120v power line per each side removing the neutral and a ground, some of them is 10amps while theres One with 15amp The 240v one is actually the same outlet type as the Australian 240v but the 15amp as horizontal prongs instead
I accidently did that one time Was one vacation in the Phillipines which is 220v 60hz. One time and the hotel room had 2 different type of outlets. Type A us style and type C Asian and European. The book in the room said type A was 110v which is common in hotels because a lot of Americans go there. Needless to say I plugged in my 110v hair dryer turned it on. It turned red hot and the motor ran really fast.
Can u pls try a revlon one step hairdryer and straightener? Bought it from amazon US and then read that it can’t be used outside of US and Canada :( is there any transformer / step down voltage converter that u would recommend for the 1100w hairdryer? Thanks much!
The only outlet in my house that is a 240V, is a 240V outlet for a electric dryer. The house I live in used to be all electric looking at the braker panel, but the previous owners decided to get natural gas.
The newer gas dryers have variable temperature control and moisture sensors. For me gas is better. Mostly jeans the shirts, and if you are in an area were electric rates are sky high gas dryers tend to look a lot better.
@@coastersaga they pretty much have those in a heat pump model but the unfortunate thing about a heat pump dryer is they have a refrigeration system and if it develops a leak, the dryer is basically useless and will have to have a professional who works in the HVAC industry to work on it. On the other side, a heat pump dryer can just about be put anywhere since it plugs into a standard wall outlet and requires no vent but on the other hand, they are much slower and won’t completely dry everything since items will be slightly damp after it’s done.
Most products are multi powered 110-220 volts, many fans will run a short time on 220 they will just overheat in time... Good video...many cell phone chargers will work 110-220 v.
For your next destruction video, you can put the other transformer in the video. Just in case it wants to do some unplanned china pride like the last one did. :P
Forget that little step up. USA? Go to like Lowes and buy a dryer or cooker plug, Most homes there should have one of those sockets, 240V at 30 or 50 amps. Just need a single breaker box to limit it to 15A or w/e you want *^^* I don't know why, but I just hate fans and find it funny to watch them burn up
I've lubricated my Chinese little fan with lithol today and it stopped rattling. China doesn't lubricate motors specially for decreasing their reliability. This is a marketing, nothing else.
a chinapride HE washer LOL if you can find one in the trash. I should send you this bluetooth bicycle speaker that after 1 week started acting up. it works fine WHEN it works. I have to press the power button like 20+ times sometime to get it to turn on or off. other times it works fine. Had it for a month can't return.
LMAO ya know, I could probably find a small one! I could probably fix your speaker, actually. But with the pile ahead of me, I'm only just now about to get to Joe's clock radio from like a year ago..haha!
@@HarleyBadger after a day? My god, I got one of these things new at a garage sale for like $2 to see how long it would last and that was a year ago and it still works but the bearings are almost dry. That is why I like old fans better than new ones because the oil in old fans lasts longer than oil in new fans.
I had a feeling you were going to fry your transformer. That looks big enough to handle a couple of amps at best, and when you've got enough current to trip the breaker.... well... :P
That transformer is probably rated 100VA max (and that's like 1A on the LV side), so massively underrated. I happen to have a 690V 12.5kVA transformer at home (it's a beast, weighs 200lb or probably more), but I need a 240V 63A breaker to run it (which I haven't got yet). That along with a 20kVA variac, and I'll pop microwave ovens like a 1/4w resistor hooked up to mains.
Yes. Spats is still on that career path and I was until 2012, I finished my degree and now am on a different path. Although I still engineer and consult with my father in my downtime.

I do that with my kids nightlights so I'm not forever replacing batteries.
Love how the fans gained decent high speeds, if only they ran like that without bursting into flames.
there is a tolerance of +15% where these motors can run overvoltaged, but not +90% voltage increase
It's the frequency that controls the speed not the volts but they certainly have more torque at the higher voltage due to the higher coil current and of course eventually the coils burn out due to drawing roughly 4 times the power they should.
@ianhosier4042 well to be fair, when you double the voltage you can definitely expect the speed will go up
the flames are just an extra feature to turn your fan into a heater.

Good video...many cell phone chargers will work 110-220 v.
Have you ever tried any high end stereo components receivers cassette decks cd player's like Kenwood pioneer marantz
Spats saying GPX every 30 seconds made the video just *that* much better. :)
Ugh...you're encouraging him. LOL
Lol you’re essentially saying that you are going to burn stuff up lol
2:55 it sure has 300000000 watts PMPO
13:45 Had me laughing. Who knew that the transformer would randomly show it's china pride in the video. :P
OMG I know! I didn't know what was gonna happen, and I was over by the door at the GFCI, so I couldn't get it better on video LOL
For your next destruction video, you can put the other transformer in the video. Just in case it wants to do some unplanned china pride like the last one did. :P
I was laughing too
Forget that little step up. USA? Go to like Lowes and buy a dryer or cooker plug, Most homes there should have one of those sockets, 240V at 30 or 50 amps. Just need a single breaker box to limit it to 15A or w/e you want *^^*
I don't know why, but I just hate fans and find it funny to watch them burn up
Jumpscare warning 14:33
You saved my life
That pcb looks like it was drawn by hand
That homie fan got dissed😂
That massey was spitting bars 😭
About those fans, I will sarcastically say that China does a very good job lubricating the bearings!
haha good point
I've lubricated my Chinese little fan with lithol today and it stopped rattling. China doesn't lubricate motors specially for decreasing their reliability. This is a marketing, nothing else.
Sone applinces are made to run both 110 to 240V AC so they don't blow
13:51 Woah what's happening next to the fan?!
The transformer burnt up
@@LoganT547 I saw. xD
Why use a a step up transformer, why not get 240 from an outlet like from a dryer or oven.
We can say nobody would be sad about the home boy
a chinapride HE washer LOL if you can find one in the trash. I should send you this bluetooth bicycle speaker that after 1 week started acting up. it works fine WHEN it works. I have to press the power button like 20+ times sometime to get it to turn on or off. other times it works fine. Had it for a month can't return.
LMAO ya know, I could probably find a small one! I could probably fix your speaker, actually. But with the pile ahead of me, I'm only just now about to get to Joe's clock radio from like a year ago..haha!
Harley Badger the speaker i was gonna send for you to destroy lol.
We need more of this
Sorry, Gary
What was wrong with the lil' Holme Boy with chip clip? Just china pride?
Bearing going out
@@HarleyBadger after a day? My god, I got one of these things new at a garage sale for like $2 to see how long it would last and that was a year ago and it still works but the bearings are almost dry. That is why I like old fans better than new ones because the oil in old fans lasts longer than oil in new fans.
try running them on 277
You could aee the fan was pulling some current before the transformer smoked if you watch carefully can see the wire jump.
you really did GPXify the shit out of that fan
haha!
I had a feeling you were going to fry your transformer. That looks big enough to handle a couple of amps at best, and when you've got enough current to trip the breaker.... well... :P
Yeah, I shouldn't really be surprised XD
That transformer is probably rated 100VA max (and that's like 1A on the LV side), so massively underrated. I happen to have a 690V 12.5kVA transformer at home (it's a beast, weighs 200lb or probably more), but I need a 240V 63A breaker to run it (which I haven't got yet). That along with a 20kVA variac, and I'll pop microwave ovens like a 1/4w resistor hooked up to mains.
Are you guys both electrical engineers?
Yes. Spats is still on that career path and I was until 2012, I finished my degree and now am on a different path. Although I still engineer and consult with my father in my downtime.
Harley Badger you guys are not married correct because on your about page it says that you are
@@vectorcollector4893 Yes, we are married
Harley Badger Awesome it’s good to hear that
Harley Badger how’s the 78 Kenmore
It’s like the motor sparking causes the fan to burn like a tornado
