      probably?? do you really think he does not know what he is doing? it's all for show. in the scene in the house when he plugs in the voltmeter you dont see that he puts the to wires (black and red) in a circuit (it;s film in such a way that you dont see it) so that when he connects to the socket it will make a spark.
      He knows what he is doing. 100% all the time. so it's just a show

      At 2:09 the transformer isn't really blowing up. He rigged a undervolted capacitor to the ac lines ,that couldn't be seen, and would blow up when plugged it. Seems to be one of his favorite tricks. Even tho most of the mishaps are staged it doesn't take away the entertainment value for me.

    @chaddino7601 3 года назад +18

    4:00 the reason why the meter exploded: as he said his meter was on "current". His 20 A plug is directly shorted to ground with a thick copper wire. Which means, probing the 240 V socket is the same with shorting itself, yields extra power and explodes the copper wire inside. I'm pretty surprised the house's breaker didn't open after a sudden circuit short.

    We used to do this all the time at the entertainment lighting company I used to work at. It was super janky, but we had a box of 2x5-15 to 1xL5-20 adapters to run 220v moving lights that we used far more then should probably be admitted for home wedding or small corporate event type shows.
    Then we went to set up some lights 230V for a small show on the USS Midway museum. Despite my best tries and some then baffling multi-meter readings we never got it to work, and had to come up with some 110V lights.
    A few years later I found out that ships typically use delta power because the insulation performance of the jackets of power cables was not well trusted in marine environments, so the systems were designed to have as low of potential to ground as possible. This means that old ships like the Midway and even many new cruise ships have two hots and a ground instead of hot-ground-neutral like you'd typically see on a 110V system.

    240v is pretty common to single family homes.

  • @ScottsSynthStuff
    @ScottsSynthStuff 4 года назад +9

    As I'm quite sure you know, the buildings are fed with 3-phase power, which is why the two phases sent to your apartment are 120 degrees out of phase.
    Also, it's code that kitchen outlets are split onto separate branches, so that each has a full 15-amp circuit. Because they are tied into a pair of breakers that are ganged, you end up with each outlet on one half of the 240vac circuit. Which again, I'm sure you already know.

      I can relate.
      Right as I got comfortable in bed, I hear electrical shorting from a DC switch. I start sniffing and looking for smoke... turns out a friken moth got trapped somewhere and it's wings frantically beating against a wall, sounded like electrical shorting.

    In memorandum: all of the green multimeters that lost their life to Mehdi trying to probe for voltage while in current mode.
    I use the multimeter function on that nifty handheld oscilloscope you used in the Heated Seat video because that input is unfused and I don't need to buy a fuse if it blows up... right? ....RIGHT?! (Disclaimer: I am not an engineer)
