If you're engaged in this kind of hobby, it's good practice to inform yourself of material hazards. I, for one, think that it'd been safer for Mehdi to make his foam cutter with the mica. What kind of plastic is that clamp made of? Does it gas out formaldehyde when it's getting burned by the hot wire?

You can make a foam cutter with a transformer from a old boom box, a dimmer switch to control temp. And I used kanthal wire for the cutter. I made a top out of some 2x4 and ply wood with and a brace to hold the wires with pvc. Used some other minor parts (screws and such). Works great for making foam forms to do aluminum casting

I quite like the idea of a neo-mehdi-um magnet. Can't quite figure out if it would be flame and shock resistant, or prone to exploding though.
In prison in the 1990s I once harvested nichrome wire from a wirewound resistor from a broken CRT television. Then used the nichrome wire to build a soldering iron. Then I could easily soldier televisions I was repairing. 99% of the time when the televisions broke it was an electrolytic capacitor in the vertical or horizontal deflection circuits. You could touch a working capacitor to the ones on the circuit board without removing the old ones and when you found the right one the picture would work properly. Then remove and replace the bad capacitor. This could be done without soldering, but then sometimes the picture would go out again and the owner would have to jiggle the television. After awhile jiggling would not fix the problem. Soldering the capacitors in place worked much better. I usually charged 3 bags of coffee, about $8 to fix another inmate's television. Another benefit was it provided me an extra unspoken level of protection. Since I was the only person who could repair electronics in my housing unit, mostly televisions, radios, and headphones, the other inmates didn't want anything to happen to me. Also I gained some trust and respect from other inmates since this was 100% illegal, but the guards never found any of my parts or tools. I had a bag of capacitors, a hex wrench to remove the bolts to take apart the televisions, and the previously mentioned soldering iron. It also helped that I weighed 235 pounds solid muscle from lifting weights 6 days a week.
Once you’ve tuned your power for your engraver, you can just make a battery pack with a switch! And if you know you can use different settings with different materials, you could use a pot or microcontroller for variable settings [the MCU option would be better for many variable options or if you wanted power monitoring too]

I'm not sure about the technical defintion of the venturi affect, or anything, but I can say for sure the root cause is the boundary conditions of the tubes. At the point where the inner tube discharges into the outer tube, you have fast moving inside flow, butting up against slow moving outside flow. The velocity of the flow can't change instantly, so you have a gradient across the edge, so they outside cannot be zero, it must have some greater-than-zero flow rate to satisfy the boundary conditions. Also, fast moving air has an inherently lower pressure, which can also work to 'pull' the air in through the outside tube. These 2 ways of looking at this could be mathematically identical, they are the same thing from 2 perspectives, or they may both share some portion of the force for the flow.

Years ago I repaired the fan speed control resistor in my 1985 Honda with some surplus nichrome wire I had salvaged from some appliance that died. The fan speed had two open wound resistors wired in series . one resistor measure .25 ohms and the other .50 ohms. I was able to make new resistors and replace the two broken ones. I wound the nichrome wire around a nail then slid it off and opened the coil so the wire didn't short out on itself. Worked like a charm. And this is why I salvage anything that could come in handy some day.

Exactly. But since he said it with a touch of humour, people dont tend to take it seariously..💡💡
I use a hair dryer to make a 1500W current-limiting resistor on a bench test for an industrial equipment (a voltage limiter for DC railway). This is way cheaper than buying a 1500W industrial resistor. The bench test is producing 0 to 150 Vcc voltage. The voltage limiter works by switching on a thyristor when voltage of the negative polarity goes over ±150 Vcc related to ground, putting effectively the negative polarity to ground (the negative polarity is supposed to be "floating" so it can get random voltage related to ground). By chance, the AC hair dryer uses a DC motor in series with a bridge rectifier, so i'm able to use it on DC even if the hair dryer is made for AC. Without the "resistor", the voltage limiter was switching a potentially unlimited current from the DC source, so the voltage was dropping to 0 volts too fast so the thyristor was continually switching on and off (which is not very good). With the resistor, the current is limited to maximum 10 Amps, so the voltage never drops to zero and stays aroud 120 V after dropping from 150V, so the thyristor keeps conducting current unless i manually set down the voltage on the DC source. The customer finds my test kit funny, but it does its job very fine anyway.

just remember to never go above 60V DC until you've learned to work safely with electronics. Over 60VDC and over 120VAC can kill you if you get stuck/touch them.

You have to be an "electronics" student to be helped but this video?

@@yutub561 ah, I always do projects (especially Arduino related) but sometimes software exhausted me a lot, videos like this helps me to not think too much about heavy electronics stuff. Just a light and slightly funny video.

@@philipmiguelniepes3103 as long as your fuseboard is up to date, you'd struggle to set your house on fire anyway, unless you grossly mismatched load/wire gauge/fuses. "Electronics student" implies you're, like... you know. novice. don't use more than 3 wagos per cable run or you'll cause a fire because contact resistance kthxbye
Would love to see a series of videos on CRTs. I'm interested in building a CRT from scratch. While I've researched the topic I would love to have more information on how to control the beam, how to determine the voltages needed for deflection, what temperatures are required for the heater, etc... You do such an excellent job of explaining things that a video or series of videos from you would be beneficial!

There is a guy on KZread who made his own clock crt, maybe check out / comment on his channel might point you in the right direction
Plenty of sparks and burns. A classic ElectroBoom episode. Love it.
This channel will never not make me laugh.
Mehdi, I love how you take things apart to see how they work. I feel like that kind of curiosity is something we all need to embrace and encourage, particularly among kids.
I love that the High five slap from her sounded like a spark when something you made blows up, even with the "aaouuch" lol

Maybe Electroboom was Electrocuted? :P
Very educational video, i learned a lot!!
sometimes when the water heater bill not working, I use it as a water heater after I fill the bath and get in. Honestly great and cheap. You should definitely try it!
Now that's how you do sponsored adverts! Also a standing ovation for putting it at the end of the video
9:30 never knew I needed a trusty spoon... such wisdom
I made a smoke generator with hairdryer nichrome wire wrapped around a piece of thick wick material which was soaked in mineral oil. It creates a thick white smoke for use in diagnosing leaks.
Airflow on tube is due to bernoulli’s principle / air viscosity
4:54 new information discovered, it's life changing 🤯
3:06 you said: neoMEHDIyum magnets ? xd

Great video. You should make a video on a CCFL inverter!
