Should a Person Touch 200,000 Volts? A Van de Graaff generator experiment! 

True

This is why internet is better education than actual average local school lmao

every teacher i had in middleschool was like this

You can get one with paying a fortune

I’m actually watching this on a weekend

Plot twist plot twist the electricity is a serial killer

Plot twist: Plot twist: Plot twist: this comment is about plot twists

Plot twist:it was all a dream

TR.DEATHCRUSHER WOLF PACK plot twist the teacher is an outlet

That is. . . correct !

i felt that

i read that comment right as he said it and it was just a weird

@@mrteacup1769 same

no

Do you think so

This was actually interesting and fun!

hahaha

WWaveform Creations You made my night xDDD

4:39 actually the correct text is "You know what a lightning rod is?" "gdhasdjoasdai" "Pointed piece of metal" He never says "Correct"

But if he said that mega, it wouldn't be as funny you buzzkill!

He never says correct.

Thank you!

I'm a mechanical and electrical engineer with my PE stamp. This explanation was excellent!

And why you arent excuse me,dead ?​@@JeffersonLab

Yes

Yes

If it were my devilish teacher who asked that question I would be happy to tell her yes

It’s actually Pikachu’s double Thunder! 😂

@@cruzlouisrussell3695 I love this dark humor

False. When he asked 'should a person touch it?', everyone said yes

@@boomboxblaster8742 He meant the second time , at 1:08

Like “Do you want to die?” “No!” “Do you want me to kill you?” “Yes!”

True

True

Yep yep yeep

Man, I was thinking of becoming the flash after touching that

Lol fr

Not my first time

EXACTLY

i thought i sayed here for 40 seconds

yes man

Yeah, I too.

It actually does touch. Intentionally. It's not super obvious that it does so, but you'll see it if you look for it.

​@@JeffersonLab Thanks, yes, come to think of it, I think I might have spotted it. It was such a relief when I learnt that it wouldn't matter if he did touch - such a fun way of building up tension through learning! Truly a great demo!

I have ADHD too and have been searching for a video to help me because I have an exam tomorrow and I’m stressed about it but this video was so great!

Try professor walter lewin's videos. 8.02.

Indeed, teacher got knowledge and skills for storytelling and keeping it entertained.

me too

nah~

Yas

I can agree I wish I would of had a teacher like this in school I might have graduated

True, if we had more people like this we'd have more people interested in STEM fields.

Yet people insist that Voltage kills. Albeit I say it is the Ampere that kills. Sure, hig hvoltage can kill if it generates enough Ampere on impact, which it can do in a Frequency network. But DC? Nah. Without ampere, you can't hurt a fly. Therefore, high voltage isn't necessarily Dangerous in the end of the day. The Ampere is.

Is that really school

@@Helveteshit You are forgetting another very important part: Delta t. Energy is proportional to delta t. Integral of power dt = energy. Energy is what kills. Current through the body is proportional to the power via I^2R=P. If it's only a nanosecond pulse width, probably won't hurt. Now make it one second, and you multiply total energy by one billion (assuming I=constant*[u(t)-u(t-T)] where T = pulse width). One billion (1,000,000,000x as much energy) and suddenly it's dangerous.

@@Helveteshit Also, Amperes are directly related to voltages by a very simple relationship. So the killer # of DC amperes (for example) requires some killer definitive DC voltage that is directly proportional to that # of DC amperes. If amperes kill, then the voltage required to produce that many amperes also kills to exactly the same degree. I think you may be thinking of capacity of a power source to produce a sustained current at a certain level (measured in Amperes)? Rather than just comparing voltage vs. amperes as far as which is more dangerous? V and A are mathematically related by a very simple proportional relationship in DC. Even in AC, Amps * Impedance = Volts. Impedance may vary with frequency, while resistance === impedance at DC.

We can just wish :(

Svmbah My teachers for science(s) from grades 7-12 have all been great. It's the english teachers that I've mostly hated. There was 1 really good english teacher though. I've had a mixed bag of teachers in everything except science/chem/physics.

katze [^-^] u did? Not

Simba so true

Simba i have an awesome teacher we did this and every Christmas he blows up 2 painters cans man it is awesome

You do understand that Van de Graaf is the person who invented shown generator in 1929

Lmao. Van de Graff aint the name of the prof.

The no. of likes on this comment makes things funnier, i wonder how many assumed his name to be this

@@nota5713 I’m pretty sure the person knew it’s not his name, and more or less made a joke saying that may have been what Van de graff may have said when creating the generator, just my thoughts though.

@@spongegarr6235 Given that the quote is from the presenter in this video argues against your point.

Lol relatable

5:51 Lol! That way he said that.

underrated comment

blotmaster1 wish my physics teacher was like this

Aamn#2 you must be lucky af then.

My physics teacher was bored out of her mind just repeating things, not explaining. I hated that so much

Love Rush.

I wish I had a physics teacher like him my teacher gave me a detention for sneezing a lot at once I’m not even joking 😂

Or maybe theres just something wrong with someone who can't watch an 8min video without getting bored.

TheGreatSheikh I clicked on the video and was hoping to see someone comically fly across a room. I know, I'm horrible. (But IO wouldn't want to see someone die so I actually wouldn't want that to happen) But the video was very educational. I didn't know that's how currents and voltage went together. One time I put a plug in a socket, I felt and heard a buzz, then suddenly there was a flash, small fire, and a bright blinding light out of nowhere and it all happened in about 1.5 seconds. I got up went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and I was covered in black stuff. I can't remember what is was called (soot maybe?). That scared the hell out of me and I am not sure if that was a close death experience or not, or if it was common, but I know that no horror movie jump scare matched that moment. lol. Has that happened to other people a lot? Once I realized I was okay I just laughed for like 5 minutes. The whole wall within a 2-3 foot radius of that socket was also black and burnt, and that socket was no longer functional. Any idea what might have caused such an explosion? Poor wiring? Over use? Wear out overtime? That socket had been there for many 10s of years because I had that house for a while and never had that problem.

***** Thank you someone that speaks my mind

TheGreatSheikh Even better: he made about 70 kids keep attention and answering questions throughout the whole thing.

TheGreatSheikh Now if only my college professors would speak like this man does! I'd probably have an A in all my classes!

I get ya

Now that's an exaggeration

I learned 70% of my science knowleadge from internet and not school

Ok stop it's only funny of its relatable and its not

I didnt't understand the video

Leaves from the vine :'(

I literally just watched a video talking about voltages and enjoyed it because of him

Except most the kids in that class still have no idea how this is working... lol. He's a great teacher. Not everyone is a great student.

​@@majorpwner241a bad teacher always blames the students

Ok he's a great teacher yes but one thing you have to note is that he is teaching the basic fun stuff. Eventually when you get into the actual details of this and you see the math behind it, it becomes boring. He is not teaching the boring part of physics, which is the math behind the scenes

@@jacobyson7629 The math is actually the most fun of physics because it says a lot about physics and its structures at fundamental level

Tired of using gel? Use plastic shoes and a 200.000 volts electricity source

Lol, true that tho

more like a bad one

If you glue plastic chairs to your shoes then yes....

you just need to gt a charge in the morning and walk on high heels

Bruh 😔 😂

LMAOO ice age

+peanutsz A real teacher that likes to have fun with his students.

+xxxmarmasterxxx Yes exactly... I'm fed up with all those boring bad written schoolbooks :(

+peanutsz People who do great things don't need great teachers.

ho hoo I never said a great person couldn't have a great teacher. I said that a great person won't be held back by having bad teachers. There is a huge difference between the two statements.

+Michael P A good teacher helps.

Even though that is true. This vid is 9 yrs old😢

they always have existed what are you talking about

These Students actualy learned (not just learned for the exam and forget) more in one lesson, than most do in a whole semester.

harsha hampole good man.

Oof

Indeed! I was surprised at how the kids were so engaged!

Great teacher

As an aircraft electrician, he explained basic principles of power very well. What a cool job!

Seriously, seeing videos like this make me want to go into teaching.

Under apriciated pun

Stop it

Du dun tissss

Omg just get out

watt a good joke! 😏⚡️⚡️

connor nicholls thats what i was arguing about with my friend

Fortunately for them, this is a field trip, so there's no exam.

Jefferson Lab unfortunately for them it's a field trip, so they don't have this teacher everyday

I would enter in NASA after having a teacher like this

My name is Angelo. And I'm the forth. This is trippy

I jumped in my sit i was wearing headphones Because they suspense

I legit jumped in my chair
