The "small arc switches big current" thing is used in TIG welders. When you first strike the arc, it pulses a high-voltage between the tungsten electrode and the object you're working on, which is grounded with a clamp to the welder. Once the arc strikes, the welder switches to pushing high-amp, low-voltage current through the ionized channel created by the high voltage arc, and the heat released by the now high-current-low-voltage arc melts the metal you're trying to weld.

@@ozb2006 Connect the positive to a tungsten tig welding electrode so it doesn't melt, then you want to supply compressed air to the arc so it blows the metal through as it cuts.

@secretowo Год назад

Regarding the USB-C charger: A proper USB-C implementation wont even give out 5V unless there are two 5.1k resistors connected to special pins (CC1 and CC2), meaning if you connect two USB-C chargers you get 0V on the cable.

@Frizzy9000 Год назад

Curious, would the same implementation be an issue with USB a charger and cable? Assuming you got a male -> female adapter for one end. Why wouldn't it short due to high current?

@WackoMcGoose Год назад

Relatedly, Hackaday has been doing a series on USB-C for the past few weeks... I learned that male-A-to-female-C adapter plugs are _explicitly_ forbidden by the spec. Why? Because if you plug an A-to-C cable into the adapter, you essentially create a cable with two male-A ends with no control circuitry in between, that you can plug into two computers (or two ports on the same computer) and make !!Fun!! happen.

@ignaloidas Год назад

@@ProtoV33MK1 No, that's not the problem. The problem is that devices at both sides would be trying to provide 5V power to each other, and connecting different power supplies together is far from recommended. It can work, but you're opening yourself to a ton of potential problems, especially when the power supplies aren't well matched which results in back-feeding ("negative amps" for one power supply) which, unless the power supply has protection for it, can result in some fireworks.

@jlp1528 Год назад

I'm sure this principle is indeed used in industry, but it is also used in something anyone can cheaply purchase: a disposable camera. The xenon flash bulb is wired in parallel with the capacitor, but the voltage isn't high enough to jump through the bulb and create the flash until an even higher voltage trigger pulse is applied near the bulb. It's been a while since I've messed with these things in particular, so I might be rusty on the details, but it's definitely the same principle at work in a household product. Fun stuff! All that said... Heed the warnings not to open cameras unless you want to get zapped with 330VDC. NOT a fun time!

@aysnov Год назад

Or, do open the camera, pay your tribute to the zap god, and then casually leave the (charged) capacitor somewhere in the lab for the next unsuspecting pokey-fingered person... ;)

The tires (and the entire machine) often catch on fire (the tires ignite), and after a while it will fall out of the sky. Riding it out is far more dangerous than you think. Often the engine quits running so you can't back out of the powerlines. Often, the operator gets shocked when he climbs down instead of jumping. Often he becomes desperate and tries to shimmy down. VERY dangerous stuff.

It is so enjoyable, even satisfying, to watch some other guy go on as i did as a child with electricity and things that go BOOM. When i was 15 i experimented with radio tubes. One of the simplest constructions i made - Was supposed to flash a 220V 60W bulb at 1 Hz. It was a glimmer tube resonator operating from DC voltage made by a plate rectifier. It worked well for about 10 seconds. Then it did something else. Once a second the plate rectifier shot out a bright blueish plasma beam a metre out in the air in front of me. Problem was the mains switch for my contraption was on the other side of the plasma bursts. You learn something every day. 😋 Cheers from Sweden. 🍺😀🇸🇪

@stevelacker358 Год назад

I designed and built high voltage / high current pulse switches based on that principle many years ago. The switch consisted of two large metal hemispheres, one of which had a surface-gap spark plug in it, threaded in from the back side. The switch hemispheres were held a fixed distance apart in a chamber that could be slightly pressurized (raising the pressure raises the self-breakdown voltage). The big capacitor bank, load, and switch hemispheres were connected in series with the load. Firing the spark plug would ionize the gas between the hemispheres, and an arc would form between them... which would dump a few hundred kiloamp pulse from the capacitor bank to the load. I'm very glad to have escaped that project with all my fingers, toes, and skin intact. :-p

If you don't have a grounding wrist band your best choice is minimal clothing to minimize static charge and touching something grounded from time to time to discharge yourself, the wristband just prevents any buildup to be safer but it's still doable without it.

For esd sensitive environments, there are lots of precautions that are taken place to reduce the risk of esd. I work as a pcb assembly specialist, and in the factory for example, we have a special kind of flooring that is always grounded, conductive work mats on the work benches, wrist straps, esd shoes or heel straps and a jacket that is anti static that you have to wear whenever you're working at your bench. We also have to test ourselves every morning to make sure we are grounded and are not allowed to work or sit at our benches until we have done that. That's only a small amount of the things we do to reduce esd risk!!!

The red wire at 2:35 really distracted me. I had to watch it twice to actually see what happened.

ESD protection is also about not mixing synthetic material and cotton/wool. Naked is not necessery though, but avoid things like nylon socks with sheepskin slippers.

Hitting the cable with an axe was their version of spiking. Not a way that I would try but there are tools that are designed to do this remotely. It is how you verify a cable is dead before you work on it. Turning off the breaker isn’t enough when you have half a mile of underground cable.

11:39 IDK why people confuse electronic/magnetic/heat radiation........ with nuclear radiation . like your cars radio, or phones 5G is radiation.... ELECTROMAGNETIC!!!! radiation not nuclear radiation!! . . it doesnt change DNA like nuclear..... but it might warm you up a bit.... (its a good thing 5g is like 0.00000001 watts.... while your microwave is focused into 1 spot and 1000+ watts)

At 10:45 in, the porch light in our horse does that! As well as a couple other lights and outlets. For what ever reason our front porch light won't work unless anything is plugged into an outlet on the other side of the wall. Even then we still have to smack the wall to get it to work sometimes. This house is built in 1980 in Florida, in the early 80's there were very questionable electrician practices, for example using aluminum wire instead of copper, which is actually illegal here now to use aluminum wiring.

I'm currently in the few days/weeks between exams and regular lecture time at Uni and so I started to relax by watching all of Latity yesterday, was done with all of them and literally thought: "I wish he would upload a new one" Guess that wish came true! 😃
