Excuse me zzz we called them Leyden jars . I am selling a lightning engine Tesla designed. It’s for a hover car . If you alter the property of pavement by adding one ingredient.... Cars will hover using my lightening engine design. It generates lightening.

Ill tell you, he doesn't get to inform about the facts like he would otherwise. Capasitors doesn't store "an insane amount of energy", they store far far less than a led acid battery. Aslo supercapasitors bleed way to mouch power.

*Chris The capacitor is not storing electrical current, the capacitor stores charge (which is current x time). Sounds like minor difference, but mixing this up results in a lot of problem when calculating capacitors and inductors as energy storage devices - details simply matter.
Super misleading title for what's essentially just an ad for GE.

Well... If you are getting paid to endorse something from another company to your audience, that is called a sponsorship. Now, they could have a partnership with GE where no money actually changes hands, and they are doing it to get audiences from each other. I don't think KZread cares if no money actually changes hands, otherwise, you are right. He is supposed to tell us. Not sure why everyone is so up-tight about it.

Dear, Adam Savage I know that you will probably never see this, but, you have been a hero to me since I was very young. You are the person who got me to realize that science is not just for people in big lab coats. In first grade I remember that we were told to pick some heroes of ours to be a classroom "figure." we were to nominate 2 of them and make big posters for them, then vote on who would be the classroom "figure." my nomination was Adam Savage. Spongebob squarepants won the nomination though. *sigh*. once again, thank you Adam, you have forever changed my life.

Google wants to make youtube compete with services like netflix and hulu. They are unwilling to keep the free side of youtube safe. they will cannibalize it until there is nothing left.

It begs the question if something clearly is an add, why do you need to be told? What's the point in saying it? That would be boring. Having to say exactly what everything is... and here is Adam (a human). Seems like pointless information to add (pun not intended).
I see a lot of people on here complaining about the fact that this is sponsored content, or calling it an advertisement. I for one can appreciate when two groups of people come together and create engaging and innovative content, and that is exactly what happens in this video. If you're upset because it is an advertisement, I'd like to ask what you think they're advertising. Do you think that someone is going to watch this and then go buy a GE dishwasher? absolutely not. GE wants more young people going into stem fields, and they want them to think that it would be cool to work for GE. The "Unimpossible Mission" Series has been engaging and educational so far, and I think it is a good move for both Tested and GE.

Just bought my ticket and meet and greet upgrade to Brain Candy in St. Petersburg! Can't wait to meet you there Adam, you're one of the biggest influences on my life.
in 3 seconds, Adam better described what a capacitor does, than weeks of doing problems with my crappy professor.
The nomenclature in this video is a little iffy. Capacitor plates store charge, not current. Joules is a unit of energy, not power. The 1.5V battery doesn't have a certain "amount" of current in it, it has a certain amount of energy in it and it can deliver a certain amount of power.
Holy shit, now I see why the flux capacitor was so important. I didn't know what a capacitor was. Thanks!
I cried when I watched the final episode of your show now I found your channel and the two hosts to the show that go me out of a depression are back this is the best day ever
When I sat with my cup of coffee ready to see some of Tested magic and clicked on this video, I was certainly NOT expecting this.
thanks Adam .... just the video I was looking for .... South Atlantic Anomaly situation is causing above average electrical discharging events even in the winter time now .... electricity in atmosphere gives water vapour a positive charge and causes flooding and blizzards in one location and droughts in the other .... looking to develop a system to collect this increasing atmospheric electricity ... your method is great
Whoa, Adam Savage on youtube? How come I haven't heard of this before??
That's a Fujifilm Disposable Camera PCB he shows if you were wondering... get them at certain pharmacies.
Today on Tested we will find out if it still one of the best youtube tech channels with original content. MYTH BUSTED
I love Adam he is so cool I'm still so excited and happy to find him on KZread! After myth busters stoped I was so sad but he's on KZread!!! I'm so over the moon right now :D
This show is like the last third of a mythbusters experiment, when they weren't able to make it work, and throw some bullshit in, so they could say: "well I guess this kinda looks like what we where going for" but it actually works completely different from how it's supposed to work. Dude, you just put a capacitor in a bottle, the bottle isn't storing the electricity, it's storing the capacitor. That said, I still enjoy all tested videos, keep 'em coming guys :)
you forgot to mention that the xenon flash tube also needs more then 1.5V to create light. Disposable cameras use about 330V (the last i checked). Larger flash and strobe units use higher voltages. (also, in order to fire the flash, a high voltage trigger pulse needs to fire, bridging the electrodes in the tube, thus causing an arc) Also a word of warning to any hobbyists, flash units can store enough energy to be lethal, and studio strobes store enough energy in their capacitor banks to be lethal full stop, so dont go taking one apart if you dont know what your doing, as that might very well be the last thing you ever do.
"Unimpossible Missions" is such a wretched combination of words
What is he doing? Thats PURE CAPACITANCE GEL!
So GE built a Leyden Jar to capture lightning, just like Ben Franklin did? wow, clever. And isn't a thing that takes in a large amount of electricity quickly and releases it slowly called a quench resistor rather than a capacitor, which takes in charge slowly and releases it quickly?
The problem with capacitors is that they don´t store the energy for a longer time.

If you charge and discharge the cap in a day long term storage isn't an issue. The promise of super caps is that they can charge much faster than other battery technologies.
@AzumMonkey
7 жыл бұрын
That is true, super capacitors could probably keep charge for several days without any problem. Although the increased power density comes at the cost of lower energy density. So yes you could charge much much faster, but you would also have to charge a lot more often, since the same weight/volume of capacitors holds less energy than equivalent batteries. Another cool thing if you ask me is the fact that since the capacitors have much longer cycle life than batteries as well. In other words they don't loose capacity by charging and discharging nearly as fast as batteries.

Yes, I believe that some sort of combination will be used pretty soon. At least as an intermediate step to try and get the benefits of both components. However the fact that super caps still carry relatively little energy is hard to get past unless major breakthroughs in this technology can be made soon.

I litterally just yesterday I searched for this and now this video pops up... And things like this started happening every week. I am getting scared.
I took one of those point 'n' shoot disposable cameras apart once to play with the flash.... Got my thumb across the leads of that bloody capacitor. It got my attention rather quickly! 😝
Ground lighting ✨ dangle high voltage capacitor and suck up free energy like Wardencliff 👍
i get why people hate it but i bet it was his choice to do these and we cannot stop him from putting it on a channel he's a part of
I asked that question many years ago to my lecturer about storing power from lightning but apparently, capacitors those days couldn't hold power very well.

I thought KZread TOS requires you to either announce the fact that you are watching a sponsored video OR that it is stated in the description. So isn't this video in violation of TOS?
Adam is such savage, he tries to bottle flip by using a lightning
Ah yes the capacitor in a disposable flash camera. I accidentally touched a fully charged one of those, it felt like I'd been kicked in the chest by a horse...
this reminded me of the advertising video he and jamie did on Corning flexible glass.
I'm really liking this series
That supercapacitor can power a garden variety 1000W hair dryer for 7.5 seconds :-) Batteries are improving at such a pace, that I wonder whether capacitors will even live up to their self-raised expectations.
a couple of years ago I remember seeing a video where a guy on youtube replaced his car batteries with capacitor banks. worked fine. probably couldn't run an aftermarket sound system, but the standard car had no problems
I got I kind of vsauce vibe from this, Michaels way of speaking is contagious
Capacitors don't store as much energy for their size compared to batteries, but they permit rapid recharging and large energy dumps, which damages batteries. I don't think capacitors will ever completely replace batteries, unless we can make them store more.
Catching lightning in a bottle means coming up with a perfect idea. AKA the lightbulb where we put electricity into a bottle to make light.
Wow, technology! It's a cool time to be alive.
Awesome video, awesome series!!
Okay, but what diaelectric material did they use? Conventionally the higher the capacitance the lower the voltage breakdown of the inhalation material. If they are using typical "super capacitors" they may have filled them but only to maybe 12V if they were in series and then wasting all the excess energy as heat. Unless there was some revolutionary breakthrough in capacitor technology I'm guessing they actually didn't collect the majority of the energy from that lightning bolt. It takes surprisingly little power to start a car.
It was definitely not properly disclosed that this was a sponsored video. On top of that the title is very misleading since you have to click on a separate video to actually see the content.
Great stuff adam!
I am in a vocational high school and a project I did in my shop was to make a toy car run by a capacitor it is surprisingly really simply if you look up the schematics for it
One thing missing about the camera flash - it also has an oscillator and a transformer to step up the voltage, and the high voltage is what charges the capacitor. The battery doesn't charge it directly. If you touch the capacitor, it can give you a nasty shock.
Lightning technology! Pittsfield mass! great people there!
The first capacitors were in fact leyden jars, which are not plate capacitors, but uses tin foil as one pole and conductive water as the other
all of you should give the tested guys some slack. it is clear this is sponsored and it would be stupid not to do educational content for money. you should take it for what it is and enjoy it.

It is not a sponsored video. If it is he is breaking a lot of rules. The FCC states that any sponsorship or advert must be made known to the viewers in the description and I believe at some point in the video. If it was a sponsorship his channel could most likely be taken down.
The best use you could think of for capacitors is the flash on a disposable camera from the nineties?
I know this is an Ad for GE but capacitors in some form to charge electric cars in minutes.....thats a game changer
A quick & dirty explanation of what a capacitor is. That's it? What did you do to Adam Savage?
This is pretty awesome
Supercapacitors use surface area instead of chemical reactions to hold charge. The flaw in the tech is that miniaturization becomes impossible.
How much did they pay you to advertise their company?
baby you're like lightning in a bottle, i can't let you go now that i've got you
Capacitors store voltage, not current. Inductors are the ones that store current. The voltage stored in capacitors can be used to generate current if connected to a circuit as a power source, but strictly speaking the energy is stored as an electric potential differential i.e. voltage.
@AzumMonkey

To be strict an inductor does not "store current". An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field while a capacitor stores energy in an electric field. Although storing energy in an magnetic field (as for an inductor) requires a current to flow through the inductor.
and now the video is removed ?!
Fascinating, but nothing I didn't already know...... Where has "Still Untitled: The Adam Savage project" gone, ay???? That's the only real reason I subscribed to this channel!!! ;-)

The Focal depth and make an edit cut every 3 seconds gives it away as an advert. Had the AD and DP been clever they could have got away with it, but probably didn't realise how they work is a like a fingerprint.
