Today it's stupid experiment time. Let's try to run a dangerous Chinese 220V~ electrode water heater at 400V~. And of course, even more salt :). Don't this at home or anywhere else... You can support me on Patreon: / diodegonewild

4:23 "even more salt, this is going to end up really horribly, even more salt, everything is vibrating now, even more salt, water is splashing everywhere, even more salt, now its absolutely crazy, cable is almost melting, more water into it" *whole room starts vibrating*
I’ve just checked. He deleted the video about his wife, however she is now with him in the U.K. and they’re happy. However this update was made over a year ago. Check out eevblog for proof
It's the liquid Ohm's law... Amps=saltiness*voltageWatts=voltage^2*saltiness Until things get so salty and overvolted that the electrodes just flash over and you're playing with plasma, that is.
4:25 Yes!!! As you're still here, I take it your terminal block screwdriver provides good insulation? At first it looked just like a normal one, and I thought, bloody hell!
@@fouriertransform3512 this is why, generally, everyone is advised to "stay the f... away" from everything higher than consumer electronics voltages/currents (e.g. Arduino operating voltages/currents) before they *have* a degree in electrical engineering or a similar degree. My professor's advice right there.
And schools still pays ordinary teachers to explain Ohm's law and similar things to the kids that does not listen, when they just should show your videos to the kids. Informative, and connecting theory with visual real world examples. My favorite "And this is quite a nice quick water heater."
It's kind of ironic saying: "Lets stop this experiment before it goes horribly wrong." after having handled devices with exposed conductors fed with 400V fingers wet with salty water.
Yes, made me nervous too. He would have appealed very well to the 'Cromwell' crowd, having such 'Cavalier' tendencies - not even a rubber glove, switch or isolation transformer in sight!
You are indeed the mad professor :-F. Utterly disgusting. The breakers were far too good, you needed to tap into a 9kw shower unit feed :) Even the cat was banned from your mad experements :-D
@@NightmareQueenJune I didnt say the feed was 9kw, that is the shower unit, the cable and breakerbox would handle more :-D Im going mad now, sorry madder :-D
@@mernok2001 you may have neither if you live in the United States in terms of the boiler or the electric shower. Although I've heard about electric showers that were is plugged into the 224 like off-grid or alternatives for locally heating water or a small electric under the cabinet water heater sometimes used in isolated places or like see you have a bathroom in a building where there is only a sink but no hot water line available but there is cold water and drain. And maybe a toilet. Once I saw one installed in a Janitor's Closet or something like that just behind the wall that had the water fountain. Because they'd asked me if there's any way to get hot water 4 IU what a color wash up sink for their handguns for some purpose I don't remember where or what it was for. I told him that would muscle under the sink Stephan bonnar tankless heaters. That would hook up to the hot tap from the cold water line.
@@zspacecaptain8228 You're totally right. I just wanted to emphasize that there was a power consumption greater than 9kW. Or I am just not willing to admit my mistake.
No problem if you have a 32 amp breaker. That's the highest value used in Europe to power up normal houses (industry can get hundreds of amps). So for a short time, you can draw 40 amps no problem. At 400V of course. It's no kidding, welcome in Europe :D
@@5Dale65 Uhm, I know... I live in Europe. I have three phase (only) 16A at home but it was possible and still is to install a 32A one in my house. Or i can take the power from the main electrical box(magic keys).
Hey DiodeGoneWild... I love your videos, but please be more careful! Add an RCD or switch the power on/off during interaction with the Water. The moment you started pouring saltwater in the live waterbowl i was concerned about your safety. Please don't take your live into your own hands like this. Live is simply to short as it is...
Me: "Static, what does your scouter say about the wattage?" Static: _"Due to lazy programming, my power meter cannot display above 8.999 kW."_ Me: "I will take that as being over 9,000."
I like those water heaters, my mother used to have one to make coffe, but it's very worn now... Good job DiodeGoneWild, your videos are very interesting as usual ;) EDIT: Oh ,and btw i know what's gonna happen already, because i'm here from quite some time :) (4:23)
Finally, a cure for COVID-19. Just boost the power level to over 9000 milliamps. Now I understand why people have been grabbing so much table salt in their trips to Walmart.
Sounds abut right. In the case of resistive (Ohmic, or linear) loads, Joule's law can be combined with Ohm's law (V = I·R) to produce alternative expressions for the amount of power that is dissipated: P=IV = I^2R =V^2/R In other words the relationship between power and Current or Voltage is a squared law, so doubling the voltage has a dramatic effect on the current, for a fixed resistance, and also that decreasing the resistance dramatically increases the current... so Boom!!!! You popped it! This is also part of the reason that standing on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are b4st4rd5!' is rarely a good idea.
I’v tried tis also n it’s an interesting experiment… I put it in a much larger glass container n tried putting my finger wit my body floating ofcourse n didn’t feel nything when it’s far n some tingling when I get closer… Electricity always takes the shortest path…
