"I'm gonna transmit power no matter watt"

This video gets an E for electrical safety but an A+ for comedy

He never fails to warn us without even saying "Don't try this at home". 😂

I cannot believe how amazing this guy is. He should be nominated in some sort of educator/teacher Hall of Fame because he actually makes the subject incredibly interesting and has been doing for many years. Really amazing dude.

"With high voltage comes great responsibitly" - ElectroBoom -

Dont let yourself fool by the "accidents" in this video. This guy is a genius and totally knows what he is doing. When you are really interested in how Electricity and everything around it works: This is the man to watch and learn.

"With High Voltage comes great responsibility" That made me laugh too fuckin hard.

He safely demostrates faults that tells us how talented he is in electrical engineering

best quote ever 5:36 "what they don't know is Nothing can stop me they are just postponing the inevitable"

"Nothing can stop me. They are just postponing the inevitable" This guy is awesome lmao!!

Just found you, and I’ve got to say you are the most engaging, informative and funny electrical educator around. Thanks!

Amazingly choreographed, utterly informative and totally engrossing video... I wish my profs could have taught us this way!!

It is hilarious how he shorts stuff and always pretending like he didn't know what was gonna happen.

"Nothing is exploding"there must be something wrong

Just kinda stumbled across this guy while looking to brush up on understanding of ac/dc subject matter & am loving him! His combination of self deprocating & seemingly incompetent, screwing up, humor along with putting things in such great "lamens terms" at the same time, for people like me, is AWESOME !

7:50 - your transmission system is a COMPLETE success. It was able to be adjusted to compensate for inefficiencies, AND it didn't burn up or explode! 😁👍 ...hope your microwave's ok ❤

To fix DC, use redstone repeaters

Just realized that the guy spent over 4 hours recording the material, who knows how much time planning and editing, for less than 11 minutes of video.. Kudos.

Very informative and well explained. Awesome!

I just want to praise you for the work that you do ever sice I was a child I have been watching your videos and learning about electronics rn I go to school for computer science xd I just love science and the way you present both the right and wrong way to do things has likely save me a hospital bill or two 😅 keep teaching the generation a useful skill you are doing good for the electronic community and passionate hobbyist

“With high voltage comes great responsibility “😂😂😂😂

Microwave: tamper proof screws Mehdi: I am inevitable

Very entertaining as usual and very informative. Thanks.

At this point I'm convinced Electroboom is just a really elaborate PSA for electronics hobbyists

Tesla: AC Edinson: DC Angus Young: AC/DC

this guy is using comedy to make studying electricity a bit fun.

Watching the clock in the back you can see how long it takes to make a 10:35 min video for him, one of the best channels !

Thank you for the educational chuckles.

Tesla's AC vs Edison's BS.

"tesla was working for edison at the time" good thing he left, because edison would've just taken credit for AC if he didn't

The tamper-proof screws joke just killed it! Totally hilarious! "what they don't know is nothing can stop me" lmao

9:40 the moral of the story

I feel like I need to be wearing a helmet to watch your show

"F***! They're using tamper-proof screws to stop me. What they don't know is that nothing can stop me. They're just postponing the inevitable." - #05:30 *Best Tampering Ever!!*

I saw you on the Slow Mo Guys and watched this video, you sir are hilarious but very smart. I just subscribed to your channel. Two Thumbs Up!

I was looking for yt channel that could help me with my physics subject, then youtube gave me this. Thanks. Helps a lot.

"This is worse than the dc system.. what's going on Tesla?" 😂

Edison: Electrocutes elephants to demonstrate the dangers of electricity Mehdi: Electrocutes self to do the same

If only I had physics teachers like this when I was at school, I would have loved learning

Nice video and explanation.

If you notice the clock that is kept behind him you will understand how much time he spent in making this video....True Legend 😍😍

1:41 I love the inhale for the full bridge rectifier and then just saying "It's just a single diode but it'll do"

You started at 12:45 and worked till 5pm to shoot the video itself + some hours in editing also...hats off to your dedication and passion

1:12. i felt this way when i moved to a high rise building for the first time. i kept admiring the lack of parallax

From all the shocks this guy has given himself he would be able to power the world if we hooked up a couple wires to him

0:19 Why Am I Angry? I ask myself that question every single day

this is the first video I've seen by this channel and already I love it

Excellent work my friend! I love the humor!

He started at 1pm and ended at 5pm

8:43 With great Voltage comes great responsibility

excellent explanation man!!!!

Never ever seen an youtuber like you you deserved more subscribers and likes hats off your way of Humour and teaching methods 👍👍👍

That damn capacitor smoking though! The diode shorted out and placed the 120V AC right across the capacitor, which shorted the AC. So the cap heated up and blew up! Even when I unplugged it still kept whizzing and smoking!

7:21 is when i realized this dude has balls.

*Reasons why ElectroBOOM is greatio* pov: you are giving a important interview after practicing 24/7 1:30 1:46 2:40 4:19 4:46 you joke about other 4:51 *karma* 5:26 tht one kid in group project 6:28 tht one kid's failed project 8:39 8:40 *odinary day for judges who judge students project* 8:43 when you watch too much marvel 9:27 tht one kid who takes things seriously 9:38 *morale*

This is legitimately the funniest channel I’ve ever come across.

Dear Mehdi, thank you very much for the very interesting video!

What they don't know is that nothing can stop me, They are just postponing the inevitable LOVE IT LOL

7:20 the fact that he is worried about everithing going fine and nothing is on fire or exploding 🤣

Security bit set includes most tamper proof bits. Great video.

@ 08:43 "with high voltage comes great responsibility" That should be on a shirt!

He knows what he's doing. He's not shorting things on accident. It's intentional. You're my favorite educator on youtube :D

i love your way of explanation sir

the little center post in tamper proof screws will easily snap off/out if pushed sideways. might bend over once first. a nail or screw works for a good tool

"****, they're using tamper proof screws to stop me... What they don't know is that nothing can stop me!" Ahaha, I am laughing to tears))

"They can't stop me... They are just postphoning the inevitable" - You made my day! Lol

this guy is great. Thanks for the education and entertainment ElectroBOOM!

This is a wonderful explanation, a practical example of real risks of working with electricity, and the funniest video I've seen in a while. Thank you!

Im a lineman and I work on energized powerlines and I have really enjoyed watching your vids and learning more about electricity I handle everyday, thanks!

"Anyways with this I'm converting AC into DC using..." *tries to say full bridge rectifier* "it's a single diode but it'll do"

Love your video!!..you are a character!..congrats

10 min video took 12:30 pm - 5pm. Thanks for the educational content and experiment.

If only my high school physic teacher was this fuckn fun, i would have became an engineer or died during practicals😂😂

5:05 - “using transformers : ROBOTS IN DISGUISE” 🤖 😂😂

The most entertaining explanation ever. Bravo 👏

I don't know if this was planned, but I loved your comedy! LOL

This guy's great, a comedic genius. Absolutely knows what he's doing, which is how he can make such ridiculous mistakes - except they're not mistakes, are they? It's deliberate! Great show. I do understand most of what he's doing as I am an electrician, and I get lots of laughs from watching him. Thanks, dude!

7:12 you know you should be getting freaked out when he is starting to get nervous lol

This video was extremely helpful in explaining why Tesla won the battle. Show the transmission of electricity in the lines really showed it. Amazing video.

I love what you do and appreciate you dude. May your legacy never fade. :)

7:07 this part made me think about my headphones.

A story from a site (factory) which ran 230VDC lighting: As the filaments parted, a DC arc was set up and stabilised. That arc then ate its way: - down the support electrodes of the lamp, - into the base, - THROUGH the bulbholder, - 3-4 feet along the cable dangling from the ceiling, and was a few inches from the ceiling rose before someone managed to turn the power off. If it had managed to start chewing up the building cabling it could have been..... messy. One of the MAJOR advantages of AC over DC is that any AC arcs that happen are self-extinguishing every half-cycle, whilst DC ones are self-sustaining. This is why the AC and DC current ratings stamped on switches are so radically different - it's not about their current carrying capacity, it's about their current BREAKING capacity and ability to prevent/extinguish arc formation. IE: DC power distribution is a FIRE HAZARD and high current DC anything needs to be treated with great caution. This is why your car has so many fuses in it (and why those fuses have fairly hefty shrouds and/or springs in them despite it only being 12V) It's worth noting that at the same time as Edison was electrocuting stray dogs and the occasional elephant to show how dangerous AC was, his "Safe" DC system was killing around 8-10 electrical workers per week.

This is the first video of this channel that's I have watched.... And I am fully motivated to subscribe!!

Did you know A.C./D.C. is an abbreviation for alternating current/direct current electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy and the power-driven performances of their music. AC/DC is also an Australian rock band named after the electricity!

1:33 my favourite part "don't short sh*t!" good tip!

May I just clarify if the reason for not feeling a similar pain on touching 170V DC compared to 120V AC (peak voltage 170V) is mainly because of skin capacitance acting as a high pass filter?

Great Explanation

I can't tell if this guy is incompetent or the greatest comedian on RU-vid.

6:41 _What's going on Tesla?_ I can't stop laughing!

I have one doubt how does he still alive with using his tools ridiculously 😂😂

I worked as an electronics engineering tech for 1 1/2 designing, prototyping and testing new designs and after soldering an entire board with tons a tantalum capacitors I accidentally miss-wired the power socket so ground and power were reversed and blew all the caps simultaneously - it was a popcorn light show. I also did the stupid meter thing where I left the test lead in the current socket and turned the probe into a missile which was very deadly. At my current company a contractor electrician miss-wired the power in our building and was electrocuted to death. Yes sometimes it is a spark, a shock, an explosion, some dangerous projectile, or downright lethal current flow. By careful out there.

FYI Make sure your multimeter is rated for the voltage you want to measure. 820 volts would fry most consumer meters.. mines only rated for 600 volts for example.

This guy sure gets shocked frequently. Safety is number one priority.

Never was I ever stressed out ... ever! That arc was just waiting to happen!

You're awesome. Thanks for the info.

“They are using tamper proof screws to stop me.” 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 You know this is gonna be fun!

*What's going on Tesla?*

Eres muy buen profesor. Contigo aprender esta a otro nivel. Saludos de todo corazón.
