My favorite channel on KZread. I just can't get past the carpet in the attic and electrical fires. MAN this guy has a guardian angel with a fire extinguisher flying around behind him.

The safety advice at the end is definitely worth noting.

Now my room stinks of burning wire insulation.

Finally, someone else that knows how to make his wiring job look very Professional. I always see people screwing up even the simplest wiring jobs.

Great vid, and excellent advise. The smoke development was superb and a perfect demo of why to stay low to the floor in a smoke logged house. Very nice variac by the way, especially with the meters built in. Great mods too for the portability of the device.

Bloody amazing, he was very sedate today, must be those new tablets he's on.

He talks like Captain Jack Sparrow! LOVE IT!

You should get a smoke machine and put a lot of power through it

my son is 13 hes got many special needs but loves your videos hes very intelligent hes very much into watching your videos please make his day and make him a video my son is a very loyal fan ov yourself and your wife thankyou x

Everytime you do stuff like this, I ask myself why you do it on carpet. It adds to the thrill! You're videos are awesome, great entertainment

I feel like a fly on the wall in a mad scientists laboratory. Brilliant!

YET again another great job done by Sir Photon,your attention to detail and workmanship is a pleasure to watch.

Thats a really nice bit of kit now!, extremely handy for the electronics lab! Eventually I would like to get all my little bits of equipment, like the variac, rectifier, meters and so on, together and make a standalone control cabinet with ballasts and everything inside.

That's some really neat work, I always enjoy seeing old kit recycled and improved.

When i watch these great videos i can smell the burning, my subconscious remembers the days when i was a HV sparky... LOL...

Wow nice setup there, that's how it should have came new. It's my Variac and control panel combined in one box except mine cannot switch the DC polarity instantly like that. Good point on the Variac current levels, the mains fuse will do nothing when you're below 20 volts and can still easily burn the Variac out. I'm fuse protected on the input and output sides because I know the dangers. Thanks for posting this, it's pretty neat to have that all in one box, I'm looking forward to your next vid!

Are you sure you should have that thing on the carpet?

Great job man. Nothing like rewiring a piece of equipment exactly how you want it and doing a good job of it at the same time.

i love watching your stuff man, its relaxing

Yes, I recently found that out! :-O While I was there, Photon & I were setting-up for an experiment, & I picked up that variac to place it on the floor, so that we could plug it in & use it. Mmmm, Quite a weighty lump! I also had a go at cranking the dial while it was unpowered. Yessss......DEEPLY SATISFYING!! :D It definitely has a different feel to it than my little 10A puppy. :D -BoomBoxDeluxe.

These project videos every once in a while between blowing up stuff is nice and refreshing. Good stuff!

That is a beautiful build right there. Nice work on the rewire too! And the box itself has very nice tolerances on how it fits, and great hammerite paintjob. Great find! Thanks for the advice on the breaker on the output side of the variac too! That's gonna save a lot of variac's :D

Glad you included the tip at the end! Maybe that will save a few people from learning the hard way LOL. It's still fun to learn the hard way but it can get expensive pretty quick. Keep doing what you do!

Good job on the wiring! you can tell you put care into it.

That's a very neat job. Glad to see regular uploads, thank you!

I like the tidy wiring in that box. Beautiful.

I am 13 and I do try this at home, Health and safety observed of course!

Yo Photonic man! I never got a minutes' training in electronics, NOTHING! So far I've built a welder (200a and off the home 240vAC) that works brill) (I'm gonna convert it to DC soon!) and a 1/2hp electric belt sander that I cobbled together with the welder I made! lol you have taught me everything I needed for it and I want to salute you, Sir Photonic!

Enjoyable vid Andy. You sure do quality work both in the vids and in the stuff you build.

That's a really gorgeous looking bit of engineering now (post-modifications, at least), always admired how damn neat everything you've built looks - shame not everyone else takes such pride in neatness (a lot of "fuck it, it works" ethic going around). Ever thought of adding digital temperature probes/overheat buzzers to your variac and diode to keep an eye on things?

It's very good to see a video of something constructive, rather than just blowing stuff up.

You do excellent, well dressed wiring with excellent safety principles and practices throughout.

Dude! You are without a doubt a major professional. Most excellent video, lovin' it.

Always worthy of a watch mate

That is a wonderful carpet you have there.

Gosh, that amount of smoke is INSANE! :D

Haha you had to fry the wire didnt you mate, lol you crack me up andy. ;-) Love that portable variac mate, you did a great job on that! Thanx for sharing another great video. THUMBS UP*

Awesome project !

That is very nice and tidy indeed. Good job there mate!

I just moved the fuse to the output of variac. Thanks for advice, didn't even think about that. Nice video too :)

That's a thing of beauty (your wiring job and build)

Damn fine piece of work there!

I watch all your videos. Interesting but beyond me.

That was very informative and educational.

that is an awesome variac! nice currents too keep up the awesome vids!

You sir have the wiring skills of a god. It's amazing and beautiful. Clap clap mate. Keep the great vids commin

I'm jealous of that little box you just made, lol. Also, good advice on the Variac fuses... never really thought about that until now. Might have to do a little modding on my cheap 3kva unit to fix that little error in H&S, lol.

The Porta-Pop! Love it!

really nice vid i like that you have both destructive and educative side! great combo :)

I did this once with a battery. And tried to pull it off... Needless to say I have always left electrics to burn themselves out since then.

Most excellent work. Very professional looking.

Love your videos mate, keep up the great work! :D

Thanks for the info of the max out current. didn't know for sure. I was pulling too much current for a long time on my variac.

Mint vid as per usual. Thanks photon.

Cool stuff, as usual.

Thanks for the tip...that's something easy to overlook. Woops, popped it!

great job on the wiring too :)

Nice wire loom too.👍 nice n neat.

Awesome vids, keep 'em coming!

nice - and like the colour of your cat !

Great vid! Very nicely done! Keep it up mate.

Awesome video! Awesome variac!

Great job on that, this'll come useful!!

PLAY SAFE!! Nice message. That variac didn't even complain at 40amps - can't be bad!

i really enjoy your vids

Excellent video, keep them up!

Can't wait for the next vid!

The Nutty proffessor strikes again !!! Wicked video man, keep em commin

Excellent suggestion on fusing the output side of a variac! wow. Amps is amps!

top vid as always andy!

Andys Handy powerbox. Whatever the names ends up being, it's still one slick little piece of equipment. Cheers!

love your work man glad i sub to ya

Very well done.

Beautiful.. I'd wishd I had it.

Nice rewire project. I would like to do that with my variac someday.

Pretty cool!

I enjoy watching this just for the adrenaline of the carpet and wooden ceiling.

Photon, I'm glad you mentioned fusing the OUTPUT side like mine is. The fuse that came with mine (bought used) is only rated to 32 volts so it is DODGY as all getout. I'm thinking of getting a ceramic microwave fuse for it as it is the only way I can get a 10 amp fuse for the thing at the proper rating.

excellent find

Excellent vid and normal

That rocks! Nice creation there. Time I made one. Take care...

Cool vid, thanks!

Wow that's some really good work, nice one Photon :)

Awesome one! Real educational. Wont you do one or two complete educational episodes on variac transporters, safety transpormers and why a 500W variac does not mean you can have 500A at 1V~ output ? maybe that would not be a fun video but a REALY REALY VALUABLE and persistant one. Thanks for anythin you have done yet. all fun, entertaining and sometimes educational too.

Great job with wreing, the variac is fantastic, but the housing is like from WW2. :) Thanks for your videos, they are funny and also very informative.

awesome video!!! keep them coming and rolling!!! :)))))))) you have the best videos on the internet. have you popped an ammeter yet? haven't ever seen one go pop on the clamp yet ever

damn great vid photon

Very tidy job, good to see your work Photon. Do you know where to get similar enclosures from?

Smashing job mate, solid as a rock and perfectly remade :-) Another psu to add to the torture house ha ha :-)

you my friend are amazing and very cool
