My favorite part of steamed hams was always the shift in Chalmers' expression when he caves into Skinner's bullshitting and accepts it as a possibility, a peace comes across him as his anger melts into a yearning for the transcendant, the sublime, to feel the presence of the divine beauty of creation, localized entirely within a kitchen. Loved the video. you captured it well.

Don't get the wrong impression, I think most people should stay far away from them if they don't have extensive knowledge of high voltage and high voltage safety. I've been doing high voltage and power electronics for well over 5 years and even though I have a solid grasp, I don't even dare. The danger to fun ratio simply Isn't worth it to me, especially when you can experience the beauty of high voltage by safer and cooler means such as solid state tesla coils or high frequency ac supplies such as unrectified flybacks. I think the video creator, Alex, is also unqualified to use them but I don't know his level of knowledge so I may be wrong. I can tell you with certainty that a 70% death rate is overblown. There are many talented hobbiest that use them in a safe manner.

When I saw your man in a fancy suit, my first reaction was "He is bare foot 100%".

I'm not really sure what the capacitors do in your design besides limiting the current on the HV side. In the microwave there is a diode to double the voltage (and make it DC). You probably limited the current too much with the capacitors in series. The impedance of a capacitor is proportional to 1/C. So if you make C bigger (connect them in parallel) the impedance drops and more current can flow - which is needed to allow the arch to sustain it self. Tangent note: the current on the secondary will mostly be determined by this capacitors and the resistance of the arc. As the arc increases in length the resistance of the arc increases, allowing less current to flow until the current is to small to sustain an arc. If you were to remove the capacitors, you would have less "resistance" to current and would have potentially longer arcs. But the current at the start of the arc (where the arc is short and thus has lower resistance) could be to much for the transformers to handle = possible thermal damage to the transformer.

The capacitors are electrically in parallel with the output once the arc is struck, and this forms a resonant LC tank circuit that allows much more current to be picked up by the secondary. You can hear the more violent crackle once the capacitors are added from the various harmonics of 50Hz. The secondary will actually overheat much quicker than the primary like is usually the case. Basically the parallel vs. series arrangement of the capacitors just gets you in the realm of capacitance to resonate with whatever the inductance is. That being said, those capacitors are usually rated around 2,200V and he wired two transformers in series, effectively giving closer to 4,000V. They won't last long :) sometimes its a bit frightening when they fail.

Iapetus-11 The diode and capacitor are used as a voltage doubler in a normal microwave circuit.

Beauty of a video man, thanks for putting all the work in. The polar rave bit was gold. Don't stop making vids

That's Jims Law mowing, it's a landscaping business in Victoria Canada, where I live. Which is bizarre since Alex probably lives in Victoria Australia

dude legit so smoothe to his viewers lmao "dont do this at home, come to my house instead"

your ms paint skills are quite impressive, we will watch your career with great interest.

Electroboom viewers: hey I've seen this one, it's a classic! I did a thing: what do you mean? its brand new.

Electro who? Is that an EDM band?

I say I did a thing is a trained dancer. He is always dancing, and pretty well

Capacitors in series lowers the overall capacitance, in parallel it adds the values directly in farads, I believe the formula is: in series 1/C total = 1/c1 + 1/c2...etc whilst in parallel C total = c1 + c2 etc

Honestly probably top three best intros to a video ever. Might be my number one. Just so classy, yet sassy, yet fucking dangerously lethal.

Today I'm binge watching all your episodes! Again.

The candle is providing plasma. The light you see being given off by flames is actually matter. Instead of just reflecting light, it emanates it, because it is when atoms break down and become nuclei and electrons, separated in a fluid like mix, due to the electrons having too much energy to be bothered getting stuck in orbitals around the nuclei. Being so energetic and so free, the electrons get up past the outermost orbital (as determined by the influence of the other nuclei) and skirt on to the next nuclei's higher energy levels, and so forth and so on, like a whole neighborhood of wife swappers. Along the way, sometimes they lose enough energy to fall down, even if temporarily, back into a lower orbital, and in the process give off photons, which is the light you see, that again, instead of being reflected--which is how you see matter normally--is being emitted directly from the enflamed carbon. Because the electrons in a plasma are getting so much energy from their surroundings, they are able to act freely enough to conduct electricity: i.e. to respond to voltages nearby directly. The electrons in the burning carbon are so free that they make the carbon act like a metal, when in this plasma phase. As a result, they are able to form the electromagnetic waves possible to suck the energy out of the two poles. As the plasma lifts in the air (due to the floatation principle, which dictates that hot air, which is less dense than cold air, should float on cold air), it sucks energy from the two sides, keeping it in plasma form longer, instead of going into the gas and solid phase (soot/smoke) as it normally does. Thus, remaining a hot plasma longer, powered by the energy it sucks from the two poles, the flame is able to continue emanating light longer.

i've watched this video a few times and the alcoholic in me is still bothered by the fact you poured a red wine (maybe a pinot noir) from a bottle of Rose' bubblies. are you Jesus? PS: love the coopers sparkling!

I recently found your channel and recently have had a sense of fashion it’s no coincidence

Wow, a lot of people really like the song and dance opening.

Never thought I’d live to see a sausage farting flames

Pesky nails in fingers! You’d have been totally fine if it wasn’t for the damned nails! 😂😂
