Absolutely fucking Magic work my friends!, well done!. as I have said before, most professional hobby powersupply rig I have ever seen!, some real hours and dollars put into that one!. Looking forward to the fun!.
Cheers mate..I will have to do a hundred decent vids to pay for it, all editing issues gone too :) new camera, computer, and pinnacle 17 works well for me, only just learnt about file types, I must thank you for your advice, hope to catch up with you shortly.
3:23 LOOL... I would love to be in your neighbourhood... Lights flickering, Strange humming noises, An English chap setting things on fire in the backgarden....
Brilliant !! Awesome set up and load test. Russian 10 kW lamp, just epic ! Hope you have some spare mains fuses too, just in case. Love to see your CL27.2 meter spin at 10 kW load. Nice Volt - Amp - Watt meters too. Great to see that you back in action again. Vacuum motors are always fun to burn out.
***** Aaaah, I'd like to see that as well.... Some proper satisfying loadwheel action. The meter won't know what hit it. :D If you do the experiment at off-peak time, you'll get the FUNN at a discounted price! :D It's bit of a shame that the meter didn't have a higher loadwheel characteristic. Your one only has 187.5 revs/kWh, so it'll need some hefty load to get the wheel to buzz around at a decent speed. A Ferranti FNE meter with 225 revs buzzes around quite nicely at 40A, but that's its loading capacity, which is probably why you don't have a Ferranti FNE-type meter..... You would've popped it by now. :D Still, at least your one has a higher loadwheel characteristic than our old L&G CL-147h, which only had a characteristic of 150 revs/kWh.... It needs some PROPER AMPS to get one of those to go around at a satisfying speed. I know once, I got a CL-147d-h up to about a guesstimated 100A ( with those two transformers you gave me! :D ) and the meter (which was rated for 80A) was starting to make tricky sounds. :D Speaking of which.... Your meter is also rated only for *80A* If you tug 100A through it for too long, things are going to start warming up a bit uncomfortably in there. :-O If you see a warm orangey-glow inside the back of the meter..... CUT THE POWER IMMEDIATELY...... SHE'S GONNA BLOOOOW !!!! :D Yes..... Some nice loadwheel action at Mr. Photon's house. You'd might as well while you still have a nice chunky loadwheel-based meter, because when they replace that, you'll get a little plastic-fantastic electronic box! Join the ranks of Rodalco2007.... BoomBoxDeluxe and HDXFH ......Have some loadwheel action on your channel. :D -BoomBoxDeluxe. _2nd October 2014, 17.20_
The lights dimmed all the way here in Alabama! Actually, that is a real sweet system you have. Very mechanically & electronically stable and very well built.
You, Sir, deserve to be knighted for your services to the internet. Don't ever stop popping things with eye watering currents and beautifully crafted power supplies. I'm glad I stumbled across you on here a year ago! Keep it up man and cheers from Australia!
Good to have you back mate. I've just started a new job as a Trainee installer/Security engineer. Fire alarms, CCTV, access control and intruder systems. I'm sure watching this channel was some of my inspiration ;) Cheers.
Those are common European Industrial connectors. I have them on equipment purchased from Europe in the U.S. Nice quality, and they are pretty inexpensive.
I'm not surprised that it's a ten thousand watt bulb because just look at the size of that monster! I can tell it'll be unbearably bright without an overload
A good video is anything Photon puts out. A great video is one that makes me turn my headphones down on account of screaming motor death. Glad to have you back.
I was just thinking about you a few days ago when I was looking for something new and entertaining to watch. Good to see you here again! New digs, new toys... everything looks great!
Oh my! I was drooling so much I nearly drowned my cats! I wish I could get hold of that supply setup! Beautiful gear man, It would look even nicer in my lab ;P Well it would to me :P Thanks for the video man! Keep them coming
A while ago you mentioned the acquisition of a prius battery. You gonna blow that up soon? Also, please do more stuff with your capacitor bank! Love the vids; you are awesome.
***** Great to hear! I am looking forward to see more in the future. I am a oldtime subscriber. been watching since your first youtube channel :D Great work Photon/andy. :) And a big thanks for using your free time to make such awesome vids.
Nice one and welcome back!! All you need now is a remote control so you can work the whole system from the sofa! Beer, cig, bang.... Looking forward to more fun!
The supply works. Mission accomplished! This is by far the best thing you have ever made. Now, what do the neighbors think of that light? Protect the supply from exploding coconuts hahahahahahah this is why I love this channel.
WOW! Your ten thousand watt quartz incandescent lamp actually lit the charcoal. Every outdoor barbeque needs one of these, Oh, and a welders (face) shield ;)
That's *EXACTLY* what I want to know! In his previous vid, i did comment on that exact subject (and busted some Ohms Law while I was at it) to see what voltage would need to be stuffed into a kettle to over-clock it to SIX THOUSAND WATTS. :D Double the power...... cuppa-tea-time in half the time. EPICNESS! :D -BoomBoxDeluxe. _2nd October 2014, 20.46_
Very glad to see you back, I hope your life is finally getting sorted out again. Looks like you're having great fun there. Looking forward to a lot of electrical carnage.
Your new rig is unbelievable. Can't wait to see your new vids. I'm sorry to say I only discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago but haven't stopped watching them since. They're effing brilliant. Keep up the fantastic work. I absolutely love em ! Cheers mate from Liverpool !!.
perfect!!! I like to see the power display as you blow things up and then open them up and see were they failed. Of course in some cases you cant open something that's had a complete meltdown. cool.
Nice one Photon! When you put a cover on your variac make it Perspex/plexiglass or something see-through... that variac is way too beautiful not to be seen!
11:30 its reached 88 miles an hour... get one of those cheap chinese made knock off USB chargers on this thing. I got ripped off on a few of them and I aint having it
look at that carpet, i hope it's not too long before we see some burn holes in it lol glad to see you back in action!!! if i ever meet you i'm gonna have to buy you a pint, keep it up!!
good to have you back here mate! We missed you...Half way through that vid i was thinking well this has been interesting, seeing what you have been doing, but where is the bang factor. You read my mind thnk you for the pop. it made me laugh like i havnt in months. Cheers Photo! you the man!
Haha. :D These plugs I can assure you, are real. Made to BS EN 60309-2, they can go upto 125A. I have covered the 16A and 32A size on my channel in the PLUGS PLAYLIST. I don't think I'm ever going to need anything to do with the 63A or the 125A size plugs but you know...... If I can get a bargain on either or both somewhere, I might consider getting one so that I can add them into the PLUGS PLAYLIST on my channel. :D -BoomBoxDeluxe. _2nd October 2014, 18.38_
hey thats awesome, so you can set it to do it's own thing while you can just enjoy the explosions without having to worry about controlling the power manually.
Maaaaaan you should buy or build a box with double walls filled with sand so if the thing explode you won't have to worry anymore :> 30 cm (about a foot) of sand plus two thick wood boards can stop almost everything. Buuut security complaints apart, as always, I fucking love to see you blowing up things :D (Definitely needs a volume warning - for headphones users - at the end of this vid)
