Yeah the plasma in CFLs and fluorescent lights can draw as much as current they can if the current is not limited, this is why they have ballasts in series for limiting the current. As you can see from take 1 to 6, they drew so much current that the MOT gets overloaded and smoke.
@pcblah Yea, I spent a little too much time working with this. Learned a great deal about editing though, and it's much warmer in the computer room than the garage. :-) PS I get my microwaves at Goodwill. Never pay more than $9.99 or wait for 1/2 off sale, or 1.28 sale depending on how long they have been sitting there.
There is a reason why they call it a ballast. A ballast is a large inductor with a specified impedance to limit how much current is allowed to flow in a circuit.
The fire would REALLY be spectacular if that MOT blew out while still in the oven. Guaranteed to light up the sky and really scare the hell out of the neighbors as they wait for the Fire Department to put out a burning house.
If the 120 volt cord is glowing red hot, since that cord is getting power from your wall wiring, then your wall wiring would also have been glowing red hot. That is normally prevented by using a simple circuit breaker or fuse in your house's electrical panel. How did you get around that when doing these experiments? Did you bypass the fuse or circuit breaker in your house? I think that would be a major fire hazard.
+Ben Hutchinson If you watch the video "Two Vacuum Motors Burn Out" I show how I get the power. Back then It was 8 gauge wire (in the wall) from a 40 amp breaker supplying the feed. After my last upgrade I am now using 6 gauge wire in the wall with a 100 amp breaker for the feed.
Good evening. Be careful with electricity anyway because it can set it on fire. To avoid any risk as much take precautions ok and thank you for your understanding
When I first ran them, they were cancelling each other out and the light did not go on at all, so I switched the primaries on one, and then they were definately in phase (that footage was edited out). I did further experements on a later date with that brand and they are so tough I gave up. One of these days soon I'll dust off the rest and try something new with them.
What a spectacular view of the transformer frying like an overcooked slab of meat on a barbecue grill! From 2:30 the transformer heated up, began to smoke, making a smoke screen and then it went ka-boom!
I was running on a 40 amp breaker with a power plug in the garage. The wire from the plug was much bigger than the wire I used to hook to the transformer.
Salut bonsoir. Soyez prudent avec l'électricité quand même parce que ça peut y mettre le feu. Pour éviter tout risque autant prendre des précautions ok et merci de votre compréhension
You should have immerse the mot in a shoe box full of mineral to cool the transformer down and use an inductive ballast to prevent the mot from exploding

Transformer: ight imma blow up
I don't know much about electricity or physics... but these experiments are fun to watch
I think it's hilarious how a MOT just combusts.
Like the capacitor rocket engine :D
Fabulous !!
What a beautifull burn outs.
Thanks for showing

I am so glad to be able in my 0:05
Brilliant footage.
Literally!
@@mattmoreira210 m
is that what the bulb packaging means by "warm" light
2:40 is when that 1st transformer went.
2:39 is that complete version of the full “went”.
Finally the MOTs POP too :D nice videos! i never want to burn my MOT anymore

2:24 best part ever
I am so happy that you’re going 0:05
2:35 when people ask me how my life is going.
So you burst into flames then??
2:07
Oh no! The CFL light's burning!
Thats what happens when you put a low impedance load across a high impedance power-supply - you fuck the power-supply.. Match your impedances.
There is a reason why they call it a ballast. A ballast is a large inductor with a specified impedance to limit how much current is allowed to flow in a circuit.
Niiice :)
Well worth the wait. Nice editing too!
Make a video where you burn out a CFL light
And make sure it is a spiral CFL
The fire would REALLY be spectacular if that MOT blew out while still in the oven. Guaranteed to light up the sky and really scare the hell out of the neighbors as they wait for the Fire Department to put out a burning house.

Ow ow, D.A.N.G.E.R! ⚠️ Be carefull!
Oh my god, that exploded!!!!!!!!
Haha that was AWESOME!
wow, impressive!
Transformer: ARE YA WINNIN SON?
R.I.P MOT
RIP microwawe oven transformer. I always wished to have one...
That cable looks a bit flimsy for 2 MOTs. I hate it when it's the power source instead of the target that burns up.
Good evening. Be careful with electricity anyway because it can set it on fire. To avoid any risk as much take precautions ok and thank you for your understanding
2:39 The moment that the transformer gave up with explosion and flames
Ive had what happend at around 2:05 happen in one of my lamps before. Cfl bulbs do not like my lamp for some reason
How many volage for this lamp?
Also nice editing
nice burn out!
0:47
It looks like the two boards are mounted on top of each other
That's bad ass.
How those lightbulbs turned on in fire went they get to much heat

CFLs got their revenge and took out the MOT!
That dangerous electricity⚠️
Electronic shocks with Taz from Looney Tunes
Doesn't the capacitor fails first when a CFL burns up
the transformer burned :v congrats bro.... you got one subs:)
Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
How do you wire it so it doesn't trip the breaker?
I was running on a 40 amp breaker with a power plug in the garage. The wire from the plug was much bigger than the wire I used to hook to the transformer.
2:40 R.I.P transformer
The transformer blew up like dynamite
Photonicinduction has some bigger Transformers that can pop those things easily
They both left it seems
I love this video ok?
2:39 *fire alarm goes off*
Great
BOOM !

What the mom is worried about the kids possibly doing in the backyard 2:30
The husband in the garage 2:38
Why??
K lite is started glowing at 2:02
Last comment here but the transformer is exploded how did that happened?
CFL Industrial Light End Of Life Burning Out
Blowing transformer
2:36 why there is fire on your lamp ? High voltage out of ballast ?
Yes, no ballast was the cause of the lamp burning out and once that happened the power started going through the electronics which started burning.

I can smell this video...
If you keep doing Mot vs CFL, those light bulbs will be on fire and they can actually spark on those Mots and cause the Electrical thing to be on fire
2:41 nice ka-boooommmmmmmm
the bulb catching on fire, does that smoke off mercury? Where in the CFL is the mercury?
All of the mercury is inside the glass tube, so no danger there.
Isn't it ironic, they banned incandescent lights and forced people to use ones filled with MERCURY for the ENVIRONMENT!
And now they want to push NUCLEAR POWER for the ENVIRONMENT.
😱😱
most of the gas has leaked on the first bulb so the light is not on the bottom but glowing on the egde

2:39 OH! 😮
don't you worry about x rays?
This is dangerous
60hz?
how much is your elctric bill
it's 2000 a month
Now try with a 220nF AC high voltage capacitor, the lamp must work ok without burning out the transformer.
3.58 blast fart
4:06 is very funny
DID YOUR FIRE ALARM GO OFF!!??

At such a level of abuse, sputtering surely will be the least of your concerns...
Mmm mercury vapor
Very dangerous

Welp im using cfl bulbs

cfl ??(on fire) !!!!!!!!!

Were you trying to make a point or just blow things up? I missed the point...
The whole point of my channel is to use electricity to blow things up.
