100% correct! No path for current to flow (like when in a plastic container) means no voltage gradient to be measured with a meter. Well... So long as you don't put the probes right up to the unit, there'll be some current flowing from active to neutral within the unit itself.

@@cjdelphi Very true, however that one is double insulated, i.e no ground connection. The reason I think that is because the RCD didn't trip, and also all my space heaters are the same.
14:30 The reason it doesn't light is because Gasoline has a much higher ignition temperature than most people know. The highest you showed these heaters getting to was about 250f (about 115C), while the auto-ignition temp for Gasoline is a staggering 536F (280C) meaning that this element isn't even remotely hot enough to auto-ignite it. The real danger comes from something with a much lower auto-ignition temperature combusting and starting a chain reaction, which would flash burn all of the gasoline vapors and make a huge pop of fire. Honestly, you can pour about any accelerant on one of these heaters, and they would be nowhere near hot enough to ignite. Even Kerosene, which is known for having a very low ignition temperature, is still about double what you measured at roughly 428F (220C)
@@robdidopp7769 You know what, this is completely fair. I'm not the most first when it comes to using Kelvin or Celsius, and that was a complete oversight on my part I should say in general that the temperature is nowhere near hot enough for ignition, not a specific metric by which it's off

I bought a DREO heater last year for use at work. Probably the best heater I've ever owned! I have the little $33 dollar one and it more than enough to heat my 13×13 living room.

As someone who messes around in a small shed with small engines sometimes and a spaces heater that won't light gas or starter fluid is actually comforting
please note that gasoline has a higher ignition temp than the space heater can reach, and therefore wont ignite (285C with the max of this product showing 115ish C) other chemical gasses / fuels light at a much lower temperature than gasoline and will cause it to ignite. These space heaters can likely run hotter if they are ran for a longer period of time.
21:59 Oh i surely enjoyed it Tyler. Watching you have fun with heaters and seeing if they catch fire 🔥 is always fun. I remember in the past, we used to have an old space heater that had those red heating bars and i saw a heart in the bars (my mom thought it was cute), but I remember when I was little, I got up because I had to pee, but I kept staring at the heater, thinking it was going to burn me or something. To this day, I'm still sometimes wary of them and recently when our boiler got turned off because it needed to be fixed, and the air conditioner didn't work, we were freezing 🥶 and me and my mom used our heaters at the same time (in different rooms, and forgot that our room outlets connect to the same electrical system) and my heater made the power go out twice.

The water caused the power drain to go down because it lowered the resistance in the elements. Basically the heat dissipation from the water negates what the water adds as well as the amount of resistance in the water itself. If you allowed the water to heat the resistance would increase, but at that point your house would probably be burning down as you're also increasing resistance on the wires in the wall
Unless there's some igbt or other current limiter inline with the elements, lower resistance would indulge more current per voltage meaning higher power at the outlet. Nichrome, assuming that's what the elements are made of, is really only vacuosly tempco positive. Like maybe something like +1% resistance per +100°c
Lower resistance =more power. It cooled the elements down at first, lowering the resistance(that’s why the draw went up), but then once it started boiling, the steam acted as an insulating layer, causing the heating element to get hotter and the resistance to increase, which is why the power draw decreased. Any flow brought the water is minimal unless it was saturated with electrolytes.

Measuring voltage with both probes on a single point, in this case they're both in the water, will always show you 0 volts, because there is no difference in electrical energy since the water is acting as one single conductor.
@Yo-Da-Action so go sit by a puddle of gasoline with a trail of it leading right to you and splash a bottle of gas on something you are trying to see if it will catch on fire with your face right in the line of fire
@Yo-Da-Action I understand reading is hard but I was saying he was expecting it to catch on fire and he's got is face right under a trail of gasoline on the ground splashing gasoline at something he is eexpecting to catch on fire, and yes. A bottle of gasoline could certainly go up in a ball of fire in the right conditions
@@Yo-Da-Actiontechnically since he was spraying it with a spray bottle of all things, he was aerosolizing it, and so the gasoline itself would've combusted along with the fumes from the gasoline. Which is why it is probably one of the most wreckless things I've seen him or anyone really do with gasoline, besides the fact that it could also trail back to the spray bottle if it did combust and and then literally would've caused an explosion. But yes gasoline itself can catch on fire and not just the fumes.
@@xyenthereptilian7451 thats BS. liquid gasoline itself can't combust. it's the fumes and nothing else. why would gas engines start really hard at -40°C ? because it evaporates pretty bad at that temperature and without fumes no bang in the cylinders. same goes for diesel engines and engineers putting gridheaters in the intake to heat up the intake air. so the diesel can evaporate better from the hot intake air.
PTC or, to most people, ceramic heaters have to be the safest form of space heater regardless of tip protection over heat sensors, etc. As they are an eliment encased in ceramic with a massive heatsink. They are also self temperature regulating as the temperature goes up, and the current goes down cause the resistance is too high to heat. This means that as you noticed with the blanket test, it generally won't burn anything. Its also part of the reason the wattage went down when you put it in the drink, the top part got too hot so dropped the total wattage or the internal temp of the ptc got too hot.
I would LOVE to see a cross-over tour with Tyler and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). He's basically doing what they do, but in public view. 😂
I remember camping out in my friend's driveway in my station wagon, in the dead of winter in southwest Missouri back in the 1990s. Was I homeless? Yes by definition, because I didn't have a home. But No, because I had Friends. Her mom let me run a space heater out to my Plymouth Reliant station wagon, and I jammed it in between the fabric front seats while I slept in the back. It was a steel box with a tungsten coil behind its fan, and it pushed the heat in the direction of the fan while the rest of the structure kept cool. Any time the coil was energized, the fan was also en force. The walls were never warm. I have a Really Bad Allergy to cigarette smoke, so I couldn't crash on her couch. But that little space heater kept me warm during the whole winter. I couldn't have asked for better friends than those two, Lagina Kay and her mother Martha. She even let me take a shower a couple times a week so I could keep my job at the local computer store! Kay? I Hope that Life is Good For You. I'm Still thinking of you and Chance.
Not sure if the wall mounted heater still working after being lit on fire is necessarily a good thing, you’d think it overheats and shuts off in case it was causing the fire. Also, pls test the blanket again but don’t cover it and let it overheat, a very likely scenario is the corner of the blanket just slightly dangling in front of it, I feel like that won’t cause it to overheat and might actually start a fire. Otherwise very proud of the company for having this much pride in their product, like others said.
19:24 My internet armchair safety inspector brain is telling me that this was a very close one. If the flame went back inside the can it would have exploded and not been pretty
My favorite bits was where he runs the heater to see how hot he can make it in his office. Where his computer is. Because you always want your computer to be as hot as possible. And squirting a confined stream of water directly on the hot filaments was my second favorite. Don't know why he didn't stick a fork in there.
Most of the time I was like "don't do it Tyler". But honestly, the fact they wanted him to test them and how well they did means if I need a space heater I'm definitely going to look at this brand.
In contrast to what the comments or this overall video would lead you to believe, buying a space heater or any high powered electronic not designed to operate under water that continues to operate under water, is NOT a good thing.
11:23 @ElectroBOOM smacking his forehead while Tyler checks the voltage of the water with both probes in the water, not one in the water and the other connected to a solid ground. We love you Tyler
On one hand: yes, he could not expect to measure correct results, but on the other, unless he put the probes just right, he would have seen some voltage if 110V were connected to the water. It's AC, so in spite of the plastic box surrounding the water there should be some current flowing back and forth and as long as the distance between wherever the voltage comes from and each probe isn't exactly the same, this should lead to some difference in potential.
@@robdidopp7769 There would be no voltage flowing back and forth. That's not how that works - you need a ground. All you are seeing when you are getting really low mV readings in the air or in water is that the two probes are not exactly identical. It could be age/corrosion, slight differences in manufacturing etc but the probes are not getting *exactly* the same data. You can measure conductivity of water with a multimeter and conductivity probes (if it has a conductivity setting) but not standard probes or with a resistance setting.
@@robdidopp7769the probes are measuring a voltage difference between the 2 probes. If they’re both measuring the same thing you should have 0, or very close to 0. Most meters aren’t going to display the voltage fluctuations of an AC circuit.
@@jkoll42 not quite true, but I'll admit that I did overestimate the likely capacitance of the system by a lot. The outer surface of the water and whatever is conductive in the heater does form a tiny capacitor. Something in the lower nF range is what I get for a cylindrical capacitor of this approximate size filled with water. This results in a current flow, which, in turn, results in a voltage difference between points at different radial positions. In this case, the voltage could be around 10-50 microvolts. Measurable, but not with a cheap multimeter that's held by hand, with the wires moving through the earth's magnetic field.
...and if we assume that the system will behave more like a uniform conductor, i.e. if there's simply a charge accumulation at the outer edges, the capacitance will be lower, the voltage probably slightly below 1µV.
11:23 could be wrong here, but the negative terminal should be connected to ground, not also in the water. Voltage is always relative to whatever ground you have. Putting both terminals in the water just measures the voltage difference between the same source
No point in connecting them it wouldn't achieve much. The metal body will be grounded so I'm the water it's likely flowing to ground but because of no RCD it doesn't trip. This is one of the reasons you have a separate ground as the GFCI or RCD would trip as some current would be going to ground. Also if you lose your grounding and neutral the case could become live hence why they are separate.
@@HA05GERhe’s not saying to connect the nodes he’s saying to actually test for potential current you need one node on something that is actually grounded doesn’t matter about the residual reading just the fact that one node is grounded and the other is on or in this case in the water to test if there is a potential difference in the two
My current space heater stopped working so I’ve been looking for a replacement and the confidence this company has in their product speaks volumes. Safe to say I’ll try them out
That wall mounted ine is pretty slick looking....im saying this before he starts the test. I'd absolutely put one of those in my bathroom, up high, cause during the winter I don't use my ac or anything, I live in Texas and it rarely gets cold enough for it.....but I absolutely hate cold toilet seats and getting out of a hot shower into freezing cold air.
12:55 When you put it in, the heating element cools down rapidly. The cooler the element, the less resistance it has (based off the law of thermal impedance/resistance). The hotter the heating element gets, the more electrical resistance it has due to the excitement of atoms in the material impeding the flow of electrons. Water can strip away far more heat than the air can, thus lowering the resistance and decreasing the load on the power draw
These are ptc heaters yes, but lower resistance=more amps. As to why the power was decreasing I'm not sure. My only explanation is there are mosfets in there limiting the current.
Locks bathroom door and pulls out my Secret Tylertube Decoder Ring: Be sure..to buy..a DREO.. A crummy commercial? I came out from watching this video, a little sad but a little wiser. Still though, nice job on the presentation and the company for making a fine product!
In computer programming we want our programs to fail fast as soon as a bug appears, not keep running which could compromise the integrity of the whole system. Thus I'm not sure a burnt space heater still on, drawing electricity and working is such a good idea, I would pretty much prefer it just shorting and turning itself off at the first sign of trouble.
I love my ceramic LASKO space heaters. Got one for my room and one for work. Gets to 102 F after 10 seconds, and around a max of 260 F after that. I've accidentally forgotten to turn it off at night , quite a few times, when I'm laying in bed and had the whole room go up to about 93 F before it did an auto-shutoff and I woke up drenched in sweat... lmao.. 9:54 -- This isn't testing... This is just abuse... Why don't you just go throw it in the bath tub while you're at it? ..oh jesus... you actually did.... You, sir, have a death wish....
You know, there's one aspect to these heaters catching fire I wonder could be a factor to test. Dust! New heaters won't have accumulated much dust on the grill and heaters to burn off when covered. Or block certain fans to regulate as they warm up. I wonder if these are affected at all by that.
I have some kind of deep connection with Tyler. I was watching his years old spaceheater stuff and suddenly he posts new fresh video about spaceheaters. It can't be just a coincidence.
4:58 The fact that you're turning it on, then putting the blanket over it isn't realistic. People don't turn the heater on, then get it blocked. It's most likely already on, at full heat prior to covering.
Even so, it is most likely just taking longer to shut itself off because Tyler is doing it this way. It most likely would shut itself off pretty quickly if it was at full heat.
@EvelineE-001 So people would rather see an already running heater to make it more accurate. You know people will buy these things based on this "review" so atleast do it how it would be in someone's home is all I'm saying.
@@EvelineE-001 I wasn't annoyed, nor was I being anything to the point you need to tell me to "calm down jr." I'm just simply stating that his "test" is completely unrealistic. lol But go ahead.
What probably killed the heater at 7:40 is excess leakage current from the heater to the housing getting to the electronics through sensor wires. If you wanted to measure "water voltage" properly at 11:30, you should have measured from water to a known-good ground. That would have told you how many volts were waiting to shock you. Voltage between two points of water in a container only tells you the voltage gradient between those two points, not particularly useful for anything unless you need a water voltage divider. Heater power goes down in water probably because the heater uses a series PTC stack for temperature regulation and temperature/resistance of the dry part shoots through the roof when the fan gets stalled by water drag.
And if anyone ever wondered if burning plastic in gasoline has nothing to do with toxic pollution, On the other hand, I'm going to get one of these heaters to keep my bathwater warm tonight.

@Yo-Da-Action I understand reading is hard but I was saying he was expecting it to catch on fire and he's got is face right under a trail of gasoline on the ground splashing gasoline at something he is eexpecting to catch on fire, and yes. A bottle of gasoline could certainly go up in a ball of fire in the right conditions
@@Yo-Da-Actiontechnically since he was spraying it with a spray bottle of all things, he was aerosolizing it, and so the gasoline itself would've combusted along with the fumes from the gasoline. Which is why it is probably one of the most wreckless things I've seen him or anyone really do with gasoline, besides the fact that it could also trail back to the spray bottle if it did combust and and then literally would've caused an explosion. But yes gasoline itself can catch on fire and not just the fumes.
@@xyenthereptilian7451 thats BS.
liquid gasoline itself can't combust. it's the fumes and nothing else.
why would gas engines start really hard at -40°C ?
because it evaporates pretty bad at that temperature and without fumes no bang in the cylinders.
same goes for diesel engines and engineers putting gridheaters in the intake to heat up the intake air. so the diesel can evaporate better from the hot intake air.
heater company is having a good day
Wait until his home insurance company sees this being done inside 😬😬😬😅😅
PTC or, to most people, ceramic heaters have to be the safest form of space heater regardless of tip protection over heat sensors, etc. As they are an eliment encased in ceramic with a massive heatsink. They are also self temperature regulating as the temperature goes up, and the current goes down cause the resistance is too high to heat. This means that as you noticed with the blanket test, it generally won't burn anything. Its also part of the reason the wattage went down when you put it in the drink, the top part got too hot so dropped the total wattage or the internal temp of the ptc got too hot.
That was thee most dangerously informative video I've seen from Tyler thus far. Definitely wanting to buy that wall heater now!
I can’t be the only one that wanted him to touch the water to see if it was still hot🤣🤣🤣
Good to know i can warm my bath water with my space heater. Thanks Tyler!
HA!
You know a lot of morons will be doing that Stupid Stunt If Tyler can do so can i
You think that is neat? Wait until you learn about the toaster trick! (This is, legally and literally speaking, a dark humor joke)
Ive been doing this for weeks now!
i reckon an actual water heater is much more efficient. plus, nothing wrong with going wim hof every once in a while.
I would LOVE to see a cross-over tour with Tyler and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). He's basically doing what they do, but in public view. 😂
16:28 "I don't want to cause an explosion"
Us: That's exactly what we want to see happen!
Watching the tests go from reasonable tests to “when will this even ever happen?!” is totally on brand
I remember camping out in my friend's driveway in my station wagon, in the dead of winter in southwest Missouri back in the 1990s. Was I homeless? Yes by definition, because I didn't have a home. But No, because I had Friends. Her mom let me run a space heater out to my Plymouth Reliant station wagon, and I jammed it in between the fabric front seats while I slept in the back. It was a steel box with a tungsten coil behind its fan, and it pushed the heat in the direction of the fan while the rest of the structure kept cool. Any time the coil was energized, the fan was also en force. The walls were never warm.
I have a Really Bad Allergy to cigarette smoke, so I couldn't crash on her couch. But that little space heater kept me warm during the whole winter. I couldn't have asked for better friends than those two, Lagina Kay and her mother Martha. She even let me take a shower a couple times a week so I could keep my job at the local computer store!
Kay? I Hope that Life is Good For You. I'm Still thinking of you and Chance.
Not sure if the wall mounted heater still working after being lit on fire is necessarily a good thing, you’d think it overheats and shuts off in case it was causing the fire. Also, pls test the blanket again but don’t cover it and let it overheat, a very likely scenario is the corner of the blanket just slightly dangling in front of it, I feel like that won’t cause it to overheat and might actually start a fire. Otherwise very proud of the company for having this much pride in their product, like others said.
MythBusters, Tyler Edition: What happens when you throw a toaster in the bathtub?
Who's going with it?
DUHH... IT GOES FROM RAW WATER TO TOASTED WATER. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENTRY OR ANYTHING. LOL !
19:24 My internet armchair safety inspector brain is telling me that this was a very close one. If the flame went back inside the can it would have exploded and not been pretty
20:20 At least you know that when you're house is on fire, the heater will keep it warm until the firefighters arrive.
A heater in the bathroom is the dumbest yet honest thing you can test
I have one🥴 these minnesota winters are brutal
You like sitting on a frozen toilet seat?
@@michaelmullis9502Get your insulation redone you shouldn’t need another heater besides the one built into your house
That's a company that understands RUclips videos lol
17:26 just watching the flame slowly creep up then back down is terrifying😂
Company: “you can light our heaters on fire”
Tyler: “aight bet”
My favorite bits was where he runs the heater to see how hot he can make it in his office. Where his computer is. Because you always want your computer to be as hot as possible.
And squirting a confined stream of water directly on the hot filaments was my second favorite. Don't know why he didn't stick a fork in there.
This collab is pure gold!
Take a shot every time Tyler says "it's literally melting"
Most of the time I was like "don't do it Tyler". But honestly, the fact they wanted him to test them and how well they did means if I need a space heater I'm definitely going to look at this brand.
Yes. Let's place our hands on the 1,500W electronic device while spraying & dunking it in water. LOL
In contrast to what the comments or this overall video would lead you to believe, buying a space heater or any high powered electronic not designed to operate under water that continues to operate under water, is NOT a good thing.
"You can even set them on fire."
Tyler: "Unga bunga it is."
"Maybe it's overheated. Let's hit it [with fire] again." Lmfao.
I know it's not but.....
I sure hope those are plugged into a GFCI outlet
Doesn't look like it😂
@chazmichaelmichaels88 The container of water he dumped it into wasn't grounded, so it wouldn't trip even if there was ground leakage detection.
@@charmio if the space heater is grounded it would absolutely work
probably would've tripped instantly if they were
GFCIs protect all outlets on the same circuit, so it not being plugged into one can't rule out fault protection.
What a neat company. Faith in products is rare these days.
It's 30F outside and I still use a fan in high to sleep. Imagine needing a heater pshhh 😂
I just open my window all winter, fans are too noisy :p
Lowkey Tyler is the best content creature like EVER.
11:23 @ElectroBOOM smacking his forehead while Tyler checks the voltage of the water with both probes in the water, not one in the water and the other connected to a solid ground. We love you Tyler
On one hand: yes, he could not expect to measure correct results, but on the other, unless he put the probes just right, he would have seen some voltage if 110V were connected to the water. It's AC, so in spite of the plastic box surrounding the water there should be some current flowing back and forth and as long as the distance between wherever the voltage comes from and each probe isn't exactly the same, this should lead to some difference in potential.
@@robdidopp7769 There would be no voltage flowing back and forth. That's not how that works - you need a ground. All you are seeing when you are getting really low mV readings in the air or in water is that the two probes are not exactly identical. It could be age/corrosion, slight differences in manufacturing etc but the probes are not getting *exactly* the same data. You can measure conductivity of water with a multimeter and conductivity probes (if it has a conductivity setting) but not standard probes or with a resistance setting.
@@robdidopp7769the probes are measuring a voltage difference between the 2 probes. If they’re both measuring the same thing you should have 0, or very close to 0. Most meters aren’t going to display the voltage fluctuations of an AC circuit.
@@jkoll42 not quite true, but I'll admit that I did overestimate the likely capacitance of the system by a lot. The outer surface of the water and whatever is conductive in the heater does form a tiny capacitor. Something in the lower nF range is what I get for a cylindrical capacitor of this approximate size filled with water. This results in a current flow, which, in turn, results in a voltage difference between points at different radial positions. In this case, the voltage could be around 10-50 microvolts. Measurable, but not with a cheap multimeter that's held by hand, with the wires moving through the earth's magnetic field.
...and if we assume that the system will behave more like a uniform conductor, i.e. if there's simply a charge accumulation at the outer edges, the capacitance will be lower, the voltage probably slightly below 1µV.
“Maybe it’s overheated. Let’s hit it again with flame.” I can truly say that works😂😂
11:23 could be wrong here, but the negative terminal should be connected to ground, not also in the water. Voltage is always relative to whatever ground you have. Putting both terminals in the water just measures the voltage difference between the same source
No point in connecting them it wouldn't achieve much. The metal body will be grounded so I'm the water it's likely flowing to ground but because of no RCD it doesn't trip. This is one of the reasons you have a separate ground as the GFCI or RCD would trip as some current would be going to ground. Also if you lose your grounding and neutral the case could become live hence why they are separate.
@@HA05GERhe’s not saying to connect the nodes he’s saying to actually test for potential current you need one node on something that is actually grounded doesn’t matter about the residual reading just the fact that one node is grounded and the other is on or in this case in the water to test if there is a potential difference in the two
Yeah, pretty much. What Tyler did is not going to tell you much of anything, even if there are live wires/parts in the water
I was about to comment on this. He does need to connect one of the probes to ground lol
Bros worried about a explosion. Then 5 seconds later proceeds to light a compressed flammable gas on fire as it's coming out of the can lmao
Tyler discovered a new water heater 😂😂
Water: “I MUST BREAK YOU”
Heater: “Hi, we’re going to be friends”
Tip: If your RTX 4080 Ti is consuming too much power and your electricity bill is starting to get expensive, put half of your computer in the bathtub.
I bought a Dreo heater last week and I've been thoroughly impressed with it. It's a larger version of the rectangular heater you tested.
Ahahahahaa! Bless you Tyler! You made my day with the dunk test!! ❤
My current space heater stopped working so I’ve been looking for a replacement and the confidence this company has in their product speaks volumes. Safe to say I’ll try them out
That wall mounted ine is pretty slick looking....im saying this before he starts the test. I'd absolutely put one of those in my bathroom, up high, cause during the winter I don't use my ac or anything, I live in Texas and it rarely gets cold enough for it.....but I absolutely hate cold toilet seats and getting out of a hot shower into freezing cold air.
Your work on this really shows!
Guys attention this comment is a bot comment. Do not like it.
17:35 "I can test these ANY way I want" lmao but honestly very informative so love the video Tyler!
12:55 When you put it in, the heating element cools down rapidly. The cooler the element, the less resistance it has (based off the law of thermal impedance/resistance). The hotter the heating element gets, the more electrical resistance it has due to the excitement of atoms in the material impeding the flow of electrons. Water can strip away far more heat than the air can, thus lowering the resistance and decreasing the load on the power draw
I was thinking thee same thing the hotter the element gets the more it draws cooling the element is essentially the same as cutting the temp down
These are ptc heaters yes, but lower resistance=more amps. As to why the power was decreasing I'm not sure. My only explanation is there are mosfets in there limiting the current.
Being Tyler's neighbor must be entertaining
Locks bathroom door and pulls out my Secret Tylertube Decoder Ring: Be sure..to buy..a DREO.. A crummy commercial? I came out from watching this video, a little sad but a little wiser. Still though, nice job on the presentation and the company for making a fine product!
19:53 I guess I'm the only weirdo that sees a face in the "melted heater"😂
They told me to burn things.
I saw it too. We both are crazy?
Damn this collab is crazy 🔥
Anytime Tyler starts a video saying the test is going to be looking at performance and safety, you know it’s gonna be a good one. 🤣
In computer programming we want our programs to fail fast as soon as a bug appears, not keep running which could compromise the integrity of the whole system. Thus I'm not sure a burnt space heater still on, drawing electricity and working is such a good idea, I would pretty much prefer it just shorting and turning itself off at the first sign of trouble.
18:00 YOU KILLED KENNY 😂😂
How do you still have homeowner's insurance?
You’ll get better performance on that green screen if you smooth it out. It helps keep the green tones consistent.
Next video will be titled testing toasters in the bathtub
I love my ceramic LASKO space heaters. Got one for my room and one for work. Gets to 102 F after 10 seconds, and around a max of 260 F after that. I've accidentally forgotten to turn it off at night , quite a few times, when I'm laying in bed and had the whole room go up to about 93 F before it did an auto-shutoff and I woke up drenched in sweat... lmao..
9:54 -- This isn't testing... This is just abuse... Why don't you just go throw it in the bath tub while you're at it?
..oh jesus... you actually did.... You, sir, have a death wish....
You know, there's one aspect to these heaters catching fire I wonder could be a factor to test. Dust! New heaters won't have accumulated much dust on the grill and heaters to burn off when covered. Or block certain fans to regulate as they warm up. I wonder if these are affected at all by that.
Really would have loved to see how well it heats in frigid temps, rather than how long it works while on fire. Alas, it was very entertaining!
Perfect 72° degrees 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Id have to be insanely confident to ask tyler to test a product. This is incredible
13:10 its water cooling
I have some kind of deep connection with Tyler.
I was watching his years old spaceheater stuff and suddenly he posts new fresh video about spaceheaters.
It can't be just a coincidence.
19:40 bottom left hand side.. wait is that Keanu Reeves’s face!!!! wtf! 😂
I was waiting for ...Annnnnd there goes Tyler's beard.🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
tyler, do more car mod videos!
My hubby just bought one of these for our bathroom… now I need to finish this video. 😂
I am watching him on youtube tv spraying gasoline on a space heater. Had to stop, get on my phone to scream, “idiot! STOP! Back up!”
You have guys like John Malecki who build crazy nice things, then you have Tyler who’s Mr. Destructo….these two guys should collab
Anybody else see the face of a man on the bottom left of the heater at around the 19:45 mark?
Anybody that this was going to be Tyler’s last video? 🤦🏻
"you can even set them on fire" Hagrid- "should not have said that"
4:58 The fact that you're turning it on, then putting the blanket over it isn't realistic. People don't turn the heater on, then get it blocked. It's most likely already on, at full heat prior to covering.
Even so, it is most likely just taking longer to shut itself off because Tyler is doing it this way. It most likely would shut itself off pretty quickly if it was at full heat.
@EvelineE-001 So people would rather see an already running heater to make it more accurate. You know people will buy these things based on this "review" so atleast do it how it would be in someone's home is all I'm saying.
@Chris.Rhodes calm down jr. My point is your making a big deal out of nothing. Get over your slight annoyance
@@EvelineE-001 I wasn't annoyed, nor was I being anything to the point you need to tell me to "calm down jr."
I'm just simply stating that his "test" is completely unrealistic. lol But go ahead.
hehe, funi coment sextions hahaha
What probably killed the heater at 7:40 is excess leakage current from the heater to the housing getting to the electronics through sensor wires.
If you wanted to measure "water voltage" properly at 11:30, you should have measured from water to a known-good ground. That would have told you how many volts were waiting to shock you. Voltage between two points of water in a container only tells you the voltage gradient between those two points, not particularly useful for anything unless you need a water voltage divider.
Heater power goes down in water probably because the heater uses a series PTC stack for temperature regulation and temperature/resistance of the dry part shoots through the roof when the fan gets stalled by water drag.
Love this channle
Let's hold the unit with our bare hands while spraying with water. The best part about Tyler is how he tests things the same way a 12 year old would.
And if anyone ever wondered if burning plastic in gasoline has nothing to do with toxic pollution, On the other hand, I'm going to get one of these heaters to keep my bathwater warm tonight.
