I think hedge trimmer design can improve significantly to make it easier to trim smaller plants and make more precise features, perhaps my design is not terrible!

After eleven years and over two hundred videos, Mehdi's finally done it: he's made me genuinely concerned for his safety.
No kidding! I used to fly RC helicopters and planes. I've been clipped by a prop before and they'll slice you open so easily. I was on edge watching him mess around with this setup so carelessly. The end product is sweet though!
You are tough... i was concerned for his safety for years now
Same here, first project where I was actually scared for Mehdi.
Yeah fine for the content but this was very dangerous
Oh. So the Jacob's ladder incident was child's play for you, but a couple of spinning blades are death incarnate?😅
This is one of many reasons why I love this guy. “I better wear gloves this time to protect my fingers” *puts on fingerless gloves*
Hahaha, I was about to say same 😂😂
bro i started cackling 💀💀💀
That made me laugh out loud
Bro I can’t
Im all high asf, and laughed for no reason knowing it was on purpose
This video probably had both the highest density of anxiety inducing situations and the highest amount of funny jokes out of the entire ElectroBOOM catalogue, which is crazy considering those two things are what this channel is known for.
The lack of safety glasses combined with that many potential flying parts triggered me hard.
I'm starting to think this man is immortal, since he has gone 11 years getting electric shocks and stuff like that every now and then and is still standing
He almost died once....
The majority of the shocks you see are planned
@@ironkb57where? He's always playing with death
@@vritrakanhaJacob Ladder video
He is
I'm genuinely impressed by the fact that Mehdi still has all his fingers.
He started with 12.
@@cincybob 💀💀
...and both eyes.
And his foot
but did you count his neurones? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "file-it" gag made me laugh more then it should have. Thanks for a good laugh Mr Boom
Yeah, Boom-er
"What?! I'm a dad!" probably was the icing on the cake for that gag
Dad jokes are the best
The fingerless glove to protect the fingers and the file jokes were a hit combo.
yup...giggled 2

2:19 probobly the funniest thing ive seen this week, I watched this part like 10 times and laughed harder each time. His scream is priceless and how he covers his head and the thing flies off is just hilarious
We've seen and heard screams of pain, but this is pure terror. 😂
It was also totally unexpected for me. I fully anticipated an explosion with sparks, not the whole thing to take liftoff and fly away.
Plot twist : code bullet is the computer version if mehdi
almost went to an eye
@@weird7106i have one gotten cut from a dji mini 2 in my face by a kid who didnt know how to operate it, even that its under 250grams, it still cut me clean,and left a pretty cool mark there😅
2:20 "And if I turn the knob" Famous Last Words
mehdi: "i better wear gloves to protect my fingers better"
also mehdi: *wears fingerless gloves*
💀💀💀
Yea....that's the joke....
because his finger is already protected with skin
nahhhh really?
Also Mehdi: "What?? I'm a dad!"
....Ahh, okay, now it makes sense 😅
we live in the only timelime where Mehdi has survived every single one of his videos
Tbf, I think most of the accidents that could've happened during the filming of this video would've been perfectly survivable - just not with all of his fingers/eyes
plot twist: mehdi can save and load
So far
Underrated comment 😂
that little fan flying off in the beginning is one of those precious moments that you cannot watch only once
I didn't use a transformer, I used a handful of supercapacitors in series, but I got a similar spot-weld technique to work. Also very low voltage, only about 6-7 volts, but tons and tons of current. I think the reason it worked for me, and the reason it worked for you, is because the material was quite thin, less than a millimeter.
"Better wear gloves to protect my fingers better!". Proceeds to wear gloves which dont cover his fingers. love it :D
Yeah hahaha I lost it when I saw that 😂
Classic
I was expecting open Finger gloves the moment he said that😂😂
not 30 seconds later: "what's burning?" *sniffs hand* "skin."
...also, made of neoprene, which, is notable for being incredibly not heat proof.
Mehdi creates spinning blades of doom. His creation attacks him as soon as it is powered on for the first time. Yup, checks out.
At least it didnt blow up
Maybe it was trying to eacape 🥸
Is this the humble origin story of Dr. Doom?
Creation attack creator😂😂
Based!
I 100% watched this all the way through and loved every bit of it.. as a gardener, I’m impressed! Although.. you COULD bend the blades a bit and get a some metal mesh housing and just hold it over the boxwood and cut it in 1 go. Wouldn’t even have to move your hand
It's incredible! I really want to be able to do such projects... I'm almost there, I just need two more years at the university. I'm quite sure u have inspired a lot of people by just sharing this interesting projects, man. Thank u so much. God bless u anr ur family!❤
I never get actually concerned for mehdi's safety, but this time I actually got nervous
when the propeller jumped, i jumped back in my chair. BLDC motors with propellers are no joke
@@ZyghqwyvSame, I actually was in such a situation, and I almost felt like im there with Mehdi trying to survive. 🤣
Him using power tools is scary enough.
@@Zyghqwyv We had one with a machined aluminum wheel pop off of a test stand once. Spun for a good minute
Stay away from Alex from I Did a Thing then...
"What's burning?" "Ah, skin." Mehdi is real calm with that one 💀
it's death skin what burned there, so that was probably not painfull
@@killestoneDon't know if you know this or not but it's a joke.
@@piktureit yeah idk if you know this but jokes are supposed to be funny 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@killestoneand it was funny💀💀💀💀💀
@@HeySpecified mehdis one sure, goddeslena9747 no, like, not at all, and workin with hot stuff can actually burn some death skin, so it's also probably that mehdi didn't say that only as a joke 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😴
7:32 good. Now it's as smooth AS A CACTUS!
Please make more engineering videos like this I love the creativity and want to see more like this
I don't usually laugh but the "file it" joke really made me smile.
says a lot about society
@@Verchiel_ 😂😂
Im nit a native speaker and dint get it, could anyone explain the joke?
@@lynes2peters438
File, as many words in English, has several meanings.
In this case it refers to things used to hold documents, and metal tools to grind things.
So instead of grinding a metal part he just put it in a file (for documents)
It's a dad joke/pun
@@Verchiel_ thank you so much :)
7:06 Mehdi asking what's burning to find out its his own skin is the most Mehdi thing ever.
Mehdi's ability to avoid almost if not all safety precautions and living to tell the tale never ceased to amaze me.
Mahdi is great at taking one look at the safety precautions and deciding "I'm going to do exactly this, but I'll make it look like the most unsafe way I can possibly do if"
@mohammedabb985 Mehdi is brilliant and he wants to help other (not so smart) people by showing them what not to do, so they don't get hurt. He is much too smart to actually do what it looks like he is doing sometimes. Just think how talented he is and the efforts he puts into his videos to make it look (perfectly) like what he does is dangerous AF. Mehdi is not reckless. On the contrary, he knows what is harmful. He is a master at making it look real. The shocks he takes are likely real, but he would never risk his life if he knew it was a dangerous situation.
Camera man never dies.
@@gordthor5351 He mastered his art.
@@AtlasMays True. We all know he is better than this 😂
Cool maker opportunity. You could also use the angle grinder to trim those boxwood hedges.
i'm a following this channel for the last decade, i learn a lot of things, one of the most important lessons i have is to Never EVER leave this guy alone with power tools!!!!
The microwave transformer DIY welding, whilst not wearing gloves having fingers so close to the weld, and literally in contact with the metal surface was next level lmao.
He's using it to step down the voltage, to something like 48V.
@@AlexBesogonov is probably closer to 2v
He's using the transformer the opposite way from how most people use them. Instead of making wall power into super deadly power, it's making safe...ish power
@@calebwatson966 yes. 48 volts DC can bite you under the right conditions.
@@The_Sweep_Life Hell I've felt 12-20v before in my hand just because my hands had salt on them
edit: clarifying it was a salty solution not just table salt lol.
This definitely feels like something that would have been made back in the like 50's before consumer safety was a thing and people would make all sorts of crazy stuff and sell it.
Back then common sense was a thing. Nowadays, it isn't that common anymore. I blame those which idiot proofed too many things.
@@rpgspyware9560 no more natural selection and this is what we get
I feel that the beginning of any product begins like this man, which the prototype. After its success only safety and all is added
@@rpgspyware9560true, survival of the smartest..or strongest lmao
Nowadays people put superglue on their hair, and then sue the glue company because it didn't explicitly say "do not put on hair"
Good times
You should use a reverse thread to hold on the blades, it will tighten it as it spins instead of loosening it.
9:57 That's one terrifying sheild....
Mehdi is becoming more like "I did a thing", love it.
i agree 100%
Noticed that too❤
Yep, next week Mehdi straps these to his feet and hands.... Becomes world's first human quadcopter.
I was watching I did a thing- and this came in for recommendations-
Oh boy, if it is really true, then I can't wait for the day that ElectroBOOM tricks a gun RUclipsr into making an anti-gun vid. I Did A Thing pull that off with his robot dog vid, and it was epic.
6:46 Mehdi: I better use gloves to protect my fingers
Also Mehdi: uses gloves with completely exposed finger tips
What's burning? Oh just skin
i died from that
#thatsthejoke
I mean you got five times more digits to lose than the palms of your hand, so the logic checks out.
yes that is the joke, you have understood the joke
I suggest also tweaking the blades so they point sharp side slightly downward like a mower blade.
4:13 😅 well that's the easter egg from explosive tarts DIY video.
Mehdi is the definition of: "modern problems require modern solutions"
I thought it's:
"Success is good, but madness is fun!"
@@woody442more like:
"Simple problems require complicated solutions"
@@lalajallaludin2887 Rather 'crazy solutions solving small problems'
@@runeodin7237 Rather 'crazy solution needs problem to fix'
Mehdi appears to be very good at finding suitable problems matching his solutions :)
And even better, he knows very well how to present it.
Mehdi is like the Red Green Show except its entirely wacky contraptions and 5000% more electrocutions
Mehdi's motto:- every day, we stray further away from safety 💀💀
God bless Saint Medhi, patron saint of Boom!Ow!SH*t!
"Safety is number two priority. First one is fun!" -Mehdi
have the filter caps on your ESC exploded yet? those things are tuned for the harmonics of the input leads they come with, you'll blow them out and start popping transistors in the ESC with wires that long.
Mehdi, as a mechanical engineer brother, during your testing phases, please I urge you, use PTE.. gloves that actually cover finger tips.., safety goggles and even shin, knee and arm protection, in these cases. The absolute eye balled rough alignment you’ve made hurts to watch as I see these blades spin at 10/100k’s rpm.. god forbid the lack of mechanical equilibrium causes a blade to fly off….
4:54 best jump scare ever
he turned into a 🐔 for a second
watch it again but look at his reflection on the table or in .5 speed😂
I carried a lawnmower up 3 flights of stairs once, weighed like 60kg and has a really tough shape. This man just swung it over with him with minimal effort. He is strong af.
years of electric shocks have strengthened the muscles
@@prakharmishra5487 yeah they stimulate muscle growth and make for a better muscle-brain connection
Maybe because this was an electrical lawnmower
@@stueyphone fair
i am scared for his daughter's future boyfriends. that guy will not only beat them up, he will shock them with a Jacob's Ladder!
An interesting project would be replacing a magneto timing system for a small engine maybe a photocell with a rod turning from the crank to complete the circuit in timed pulses from a buzz coil
You can also use a nylon string in the place of the steel blades, and its safer. You will just need a plain washer with 2 additional holes for the nylon string, and it easier to build. This will have less vibrations.
I was thinking the same thing. Use some string from a string trimmer.
Or just attach a nylon string to a angle grinder.
Yeah but thats lame
String trimmers are good for grasses and light foliage but arent able to cut through small branches, which hedge trimmers are expected to do.
@@re-agent9364 wrong I personally use my string trimmer for shrubs and bushes and it works great
Hey Mehdi. Me and especially my 7 year old son absolutely love your content. Keep it going :)
I suggest you make sure he doesn't start experimenting based on my videos!! Tell him I said hi!
Make sure he doesn’t build a Jacob’s ladder
@@beanapprentice1687and the electric guitar

@@legendaryking7560and the heated seat
Is it wrong that I was kinda disappointed by how bloody perfectly well this functioned? Excellent job!
I just love how your levels of DIY at home jank has layers now, between the home made power tool and now the home made bootleg arc welder
7:17 OKAY FINE, I’LL LIKE THE VIDEO 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The rotor flying away was somehow my most favorite part
his trimmer is actually amazing
Cut a series of sharpened vees - all along the cutting edges of the blades. This will greatly improve the cutting, as the stems will locate in the vee, and be severed! I once did something similar with a long rod, secured in a Battery Drill. It had two replaceable Box Cutter Blades on the rod end to do the work. I gave-up on this idea, because no toe protection on summer days!
Hey, remember when you're working with any powered equipment with a rotating element to wear safety glasses. They won't stop the blade from flying off and slashing your face,but will keep you from having an eyepatch.
no joke, was using a weed whacker a few weeks ago, it must have hit a pebble, and it blasted me right in the cheek bone. An inch or two higher and I'd be rocking an eyepatch...
I was filing metal last year without eye protection and got a sliver that tore my eye up. Thankfully not permanently threatening but it hurt like hell for a couple days.
100%. I had a sewing needle snap and fly right at my eyeball once, it was only the fact that I wear glasses that saved me a trip to the emergency room. And sewing machines are nowhere near as dangerous as what Mehdi's doing. Gonna try and track down some prescription safety glasses for working with actual tools.
@@sapphail2410 Idk how bad it is, I don't wear glasses, but you could try to put cup style safety goggles over the glasses to improve safety in the mean time? Also how does a sewing needle fly out? Did it snap while using the machine?
@@miinyoo Filing? That's a new for me. How did that happen? I guess I better start using eye protection. Thanks!
6:54 I better wear gloves 😂😂😂😂
To protect my fingers, only these gloves don't have fingers🤣.
I've watched each and every video of yours, never have you ever made me so anxious about your safety.
2:23 I spun one of those hand helicopter propeller stick things, I didn’t expect it to go so high into the air and so fast. I had the same reaction.
Legit one of the most terrifying Medhi videos yet. I know that he's at least survived long enough, and kept enough fingers to edit and upload, but it was still hard to watch at a few points there!
Right after colinfurze’s knife belt 😱
(Mehdi putting it in a file folder to file it) "WHAT? I'M A DAD!" got a good laugh out of me.
7:17 in case anyones wondering
Everyone else has covered the obvious personal safety aspects, so I'll mention the plant trimming. Doing this sort of trim creates a shell of green on the outside that looks nice - until something damages the plant (snow, fallen tree limb, someone falling on it, anything). The inside of the plant's structure gets no light, so it won't recover.
It is better but vastly more time consuming to hand prune the plant into a more open arrangement.
But you can't make a spinning blades of death, drone to do it. Arc welding might work...😅
Love the relaxing casual music!
There actually are tiny hedge trimmers that have only two places for the branches to go and get cut, almost like little automated garden scissors. They are perfect for your little bushes.
but where's the fun in it? 😂
Bosch make a very good one.
Are you talking about Manscaped? 😂
Mostly he needed 40v, not that 20v, cheap power tools just cause rsi from vibration, and longer blade to preserve your back. Small is not better, remember you only use the front edge of a butter knife.
You are the best teacher ever! The humour is bang on! 😎👍
Yet again you’ve made me aware of the fact even when I think I understand and know about something pretty confidently you make me literally gasp as you palm that microwave transformer
2:22 you just risked your eye sight for us 🥺
Edit: Nevermind, you did that several more times during the rest of the video
And he did this bit in an older video
ElectroBOOM: "Have you ever had problems solving simple tasks?"
Yess!
ElectroBOOM: "Does it make you feel like a failure?"
OMG Its like you know me Medhi!
The way he misspelled tasks as takss, I felt that in my soul.
@@ianlee5812
'misspelt'
I'll see myself out.
2:16 😂😂😂😂
Can you make an ionic thruster and make it blow wind out to a fan motor that is connected to charge a battery, and then through a transformer to generate more amps to provide power to the system and to power any other needs.
7:24 🤦♀️ 😂
2:22
I lost my nostril to a similar BLDC-propeller last month. You need to be careful man! We love your content, but be safe please.
❤
Dude, Mehdi,.. 11:25 it actually works!!
Try connect ac and dc in parallel and try lighting a bulb. Or try connecting them in series
I love how you perfectly know what youre doing, while doing it the most dangerous way possible
He started a prop without bolting it down right next to his head. Later, his blades are lower than the protective cover and his legs are constantly in the potential trajectory of an exploding prop. He knows what he's doing when he is doing electro stuff, but I think he vastly underestimates the danger of power tools like this.
4:30
That's actually a good built-in safety device.
use thread locker, it will stop the screws form loosening form vibrations.
1:32 Good Thing I Hoard stuff!
If not using one already, a reverse thread might help keep the blade in place.
Or make the motor go other way.
good thought!
@@ElectroBOOM bought directly a true brushcutter on dealer brand one of them
@@ElectroBOOM And also those box cutter's blades are maybe much lighter then your custom made blades, so they will be sharper and less wobbly at the same time...
You might want to invest in a table vise, and a hole saw attachment for drill. They are worth it.
also if you want a safe way to prevent the blades from coming out, you might want to use a nylon hex nut or just use two nuts to secure the blades to a bolt.
only person ive ever seen who does a bunch of electrical stuff at home without owning a panavise.
I'm modifying my stick blender to work with a brushless motor right now and I thought some of the stuff I was doing was dangerous!!.. The final result though! That is such a cool invention
Man i love this channel ❤
"Good thing I hord stuff. So I have everything I need."
I can relate. So much. So good.
i've never been so worried about mehdi's safety
Hi I Want to now as much as you do about wires, but I don’t know where to get started and I love your videos
Humor in point love ur vids buddy!
the level of creativity and entusiasm is simply fantastic, i love this guy.
youtube's fun uncle
Imagine if someone made a device that held things and was bolted to a workbench
drawers
Pressure pliers and C clamps, obviously
I've had a vision of a metal contraption, like a steel mouth on a workbench that bites down on whatever you need to secure while working on it. But dammit, I have so many bad vices that my memory is almost shot...
An industrial-grade robot arm?
You cracked me up and scared the hell out of me. Great job!!!! Love your creative style!!! Hilarious and brilliant.
another great one Mehdi. keep it coming
I had my problem with that BLDC Motor and ESC as well🤣Completely ignore safety, I put the propellers on and it left a scar on my right arm till now :D
"I better wear gloves for some protection" ... put on fingerless gloves
he done it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
12:19 that motor is holding on for dear life.
amazing creation Boss....
big fan of you...❤
ʜɪᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ.
My heart drops everytime I see this man use a powertool
This video feels like one of the most dangerous ones for sure. The pan would barely stop the blades at all if the blades came loose, that close up shot was scary just watching let alone actually being there lol. I normally find everything else on here safe because circuits are a lot more predictable and they can't make contact with you(you can only touch them), but this one the blades could easily be doing the touching(slicing). Cool product though, it worked super well. If the pan had flat edges to actually catch the blades instead of curved edges so the blades just get flung out then it would be awesome.
After watching this man for 9 years I’m a firm believer that this man is a perpetual, his wife and kids hear a boom from his work room and they just shake their heads.
I’ve seen you since the sparks were extreme. Now it’s nothing. 😂😂😂 love it. Thank you Mehdi.
need to make a compact version to trim some other bushes too. like algae size bushes
On the subject of garden machinery, I'd be really interested to see your take on a robotic lawnmower!
@mattphillips, that is a great idea, I think medhi should do this! i envision a series of videos where he reverse engineers an existing unit and then builds a custom one.
I nearly wet myself when I saw what wrote 😂 so funny
Phew! This got me on the edge of my seat. It's nice to see it worked without trimming your loose parts😂
My dude, you have built something terrifying. I love it.
That drone blade attacking Mehdi has to be the funniest thing I have seen this month.
0:47
Are you saying I'm stupid!?
Well, you're correct.
Yeah i feel dumb now
AM SMUURT AND UR DAMB
you could curve the blades so that the bushes are easier to shape
electro boom never gets old man, i even learned most of my science from him.
Some suggestions for Mark II of this thing, if there ever is a Mark II: Maybe use string trimmer-style cutting surface instead of blades, or have the blades in a contra-rotating configuration. Also using a handle similar to those on underwater metal detectors for scuba use would probably keep the operator's hands well clear of moving parts without sacrificing dexterity.
this project is cool and really good on spherical bushes. Man can't believe Manscaped did not partner up with this project 🤣
Manscaped Hedge Trimmer V1.
A smaller version would be excellent for trimming a unibrow.
