Oh boy. KZfaq recommending this now... We all miss Photonicinduction

He is on my top 5 list of people I want to have a beer with.

I bet the power station know when he's home!

is this the most fantastic mental health rehabilitation program I have ever come across?

Your power company loves you.

Love the part where you feel the cord to see if it's warm in order to judge whether you're drawing too much.

LETS turn THis CROWBAR into A LIGHT BULB

He's whispering like he doesn't want his grandma to hear him

'Dont try this yourself' Yeah, I have a 50,000 Amp Transformer in my garage...

I dearly love this man. He is a living demonstration of why science is awesome. Also, where in the world does he get the materials to make these terrifying devices? I've worked in industrial settings and seen some serious equipment, but that cable was reeeediculous!!!

Man, some of the shit he does scares the fuck out of me. I know he's a brilliant dude who's got balls the size of Mexico, but sometimes I think he's doing _insanely unsafe shit_ at times, but then he goes and tells us that you could touch the contacts and you wouldn't even feel it. He's so awesome, lol. EDIT: Also, the power company must _love_ him in that area. I know Dave Jones was saying that sometimes his local power provider gets in touch with him and asks him to drop from his typical 240-250v to 180-200v at the lab, and he somehow does it. I don't know a ton about this stuff, I just think those conversations would be hilarious. "Hello, Mr. Induction? Photonic? What shall I call you? I'll just call you Mr. Pi, okay? Well, I'm calling today because we're having issues in our load balancing and monitoring systems -- our logs show that there have been intermittent spikes in power consumption in your area. At one point, it seems that there were almost 50k amps _at one time_ being pulled at your home. We're thinking it's a mistake but we wanted to double-check." _"Haha, yeah your equipment is spot on: that was me! We needed to make one of those 'round-the-corner' screwdrivers, so we just put a typical screwdriver across a 50k amp transformer I made in my attic and bent it myself. However, I wanted more out of my new toy, so I put a crowbar across the contacts until it was the color of the fucking sun. Crackin' fun, that."_ "Oh, okay. Thanks for, uh... confirming." _"You're welcome boys." ::click:: "...where's my beer got off to?"_

I love the "insulation" on the primary input!

You should try putting it in liquid nitrogen, or just super cooling it so it can draw even more amps :D

Dude you're a genius and you are absolutely batshit Crazy! You got balls doing these experiments. No one without proper training and/or experience should never do this. This is psychotic. I love it

I'll tell you what, this gentleman knows a thing or two about how to make low resistance connections. Did you see that quick check around 2:57 to make sure the line feeding his variac wasn't overheating?

4 volts max? Hmm, this surely needs a USB connector for testing purposes.

the screwdriver for corners looks promising :D

Came up in my suggested today. I miss this.

68 years old am absolutly amazed by this man now i am interested in learning about transformer. thanks wayne in s.c.

who got recommend? 2021 missed this channel

This is how I would imagine Dale Gribble as a real life person.

"Do Not Try This Yourself" How do I supposed to do this without your 50.000Amp transformer?

240V @ 50A in .5V @ 50000A out, those Watt making elf's are busy.

I remember working on a 15,000 amp variable constant current power supply we built for Westinghouse, they used it to test circuit breakers. It was 3 phase and used hundreds of 2n3771s for the series pass element. We used 2 large aluminum angle irons and a steel shop stool as the load, you just had to have a 200 pound tech sit on the stool to make sure you had contact. That stool had the paint burned off the legs because they glowed dull red at full load.

his dads downstairs saying "where in the hell are all my tools!"

Is this supposed to power the flux capacitor?

..carpet, wood, sparks, melted metals... recipe for disaster. Add some gas to make one for sure.

thatll make one hell of a toaster

"I've got a screw driver that goes around corners now" xD

His voice it so freaking relaxing

So THAT'S what they mean by a crowbar circuit . . . :-)

Fascinating this transformer, I must build one.THX for show it :)

checking the variacs mains cable for heat at 3:01 nice job keeping it safe and reducing fire hazard :)

this is how chuck norris cooks his hotdogs.

I use to work for a magnetics company that made custom one off and very small production run transformers. In 1969 when the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 suffered from a fire and numerous munitions explosions we were tasked with supplying several enormous 3 phase transformers. I don't recall the exact specifications. They started with I think 6 ad by the time final test came around all had failed but 1. I do remember we powered that monster very slowly to the test spec and turned it down very quickly. This transformer you made reminded me of that incident nearly 50 years ago.

I hope you start making great videos Photonicinduction. They are first class shows for sure. Peace

my friend said you look like the type of person to sit down in a red chair and sing "we just got a letter! we just got a letter! i wonder who its from"

Not too often that dual copper bus bars are the weak link! How did you affix the lugs to the cable? Didn't see crimp marks...solder?

You've got some balls grabbing that with a dish rag and not even a single thought of concern and the shot with an unlit cig and then using the hot steel to light the cigarette, a true game changer

We miss you photon!

Damn I miss this channel...🙁😞

nice

Its been the 8 years and i search 5000 amps in 2021 and still no one has the balls to pull this of yet

2:30 "I want more" is how I feel about your videos, please keep making crazy electricity vids!

Can I charge my phone with this?

be careful with the carpet dude! really, don't give chance to the devil..

That mega-amps transformer is a beast! I would like one of them bad boys.

Miss you bro :(

You, Sir, are a wild man! I wan to party with you! Very nice work!

you have 2 purple dots on your camera lens :/

Amazing stuff on your channel I subbed!

you're power company must LOVE you

Nice. I need this kind of current rectified. Any suggestions how to rectify 40 to 50 kA?

Drop 2 zeros and you have your amp out put. Even with an Ideal "zero" Ω load you wouldnt achieve 50ka with that. The sparks even tell you that. I don't believe you have the saturation to make enough magnetomotive force to induced that kind of current. If you are going to use braid (Litz) wire, I would highly recommend you strip the jacket off that wire, remove as much as you can to the primary coil with out removing the varnish. Then to isolate the pri-sec use wax paper or something similar that will take the heat an be ultra thin. If you got it avalible I would try flat stock or square stock bare copper for the sec. Also noticed you said the coils are running 120, you sound like you may be from a 220/440 region, are you running split phase to it? If so have you verified that each of your 3 coils is phase balanced with each other? You will now when you hit 50ka the tip of that prybar would have exploded when it made contact.

I miss your videos so much ;( I’m never unsubbing.

Neatly done job on the transformer

so how's your electric bill?

He also builds light bulbs for Chuck Norris (5:27)

Thanks for the great video. Can you advise on what is the best type of bolts to use for interconnecting the copper bars and terminals? I've been using stainless steel bolts, and also some bronze types with washers, but I've been suggested that there is a better choice and it wasn't too long since I've installed the firsts, what do you suggest? What are the bolts used in your transformer bars made of?

Hey, you know what, y'all? Let's see if we can get this guy to 1M subscribers even though he has no more videos!

Wait... 50.000 AMPS??????

50,000 Amps at what... half a volt? Isn't that like 25KW of power? Did you connect that directly to power lines? xD

i love your stuff man.

Máquina pesada,máquina nervosa e o operador é dos bons,parabéns.

its similar to welding machine but this one is very low voltage. the voltage is not high enough to push the current to our body which has higher resistance than metal, its the heat that hurts not electric shock

Is the guy dead?

Very cool but pretty damn scary looking. Even if done safely! The most sophisticated looking welding machine I've ever seen.

judge: Photonicinduction, your penalty: electric chair Photonicinduction: hold my beer

Overload a phone charger while it’s charging a phone!

does this emit a big magnetic field?

I'm amazed you've not set your loft on fire yet. Cool experiments though and I wish I understood it better but I'm happy just to watch the glowing hot things.

Very good vid, thanks for posting.

"I want mooorre" hahaha you're mad :D I like, i sub! :D

I wish everybody would stop saying amperage when they mean current.

Excellent demonstration that electrons CARRY the energy , which is then converted to heat and photons in a steady flow of conservation of energy, whilst the depleted electrons return to the power source to be recharged.

Brilliant! You made an electric blacksmithing forge :)

it seems a lot smaller than I thought it would be. That you weren't covered in rubber when you touched it was bloody insane, mate! "I think I'm gonna need a bigger bus bar." I'm laughing my tits off! Love it!

How fast will this charge my iPhone?

looks very impressive

Mann... I was hoping this said 9 months ago... Turns out it was just on recommend. I miss Photonicinduction!

Gives a new slant on crowbarring a power supply.

При 50 000 ампер, монтировка сгорит через 3 секунды.

Moar AMPS!!!!!! That's an awesome rig man!!

Reminds me of childhood. Nights in my basement laboratory sitting at the lab table amid the test tubes, power supplies, retorts spare parts and voltmeters wondering if I'd get a big transformer like that for Christmas ! Hours and hours of crazed fun ! My mom and dad were cool too. Their favorite mantra was "mommy's all right. Daddy's alright..." from Cheap Tricks surrender song. LOL (evil laugh).

Bit of wishful thinking there. Many years ago in the factory where I did my Electrical apprentice ship we had an Electrician drop a 12 inch spanner across a 1000 amp transformer output terminals. It vaporised the spanner, the explosion blew off his clothes and he died on the way to hospital. Ive seen a real 50,000 amp transformer and its just a little bit bigger than yours.With the air gap around those secondary cables you would be lucky to get 10% efficiency. On real very high amp transformers they use square section secondary cable so they can get the windings close together.Never mind, Its good fun playing around with electricity anyhow.

Не впечатлило

this channel is amazing

Some questions: The transformer itself should be safe to touch since voltage is so low right? (electrical pressure being low enough to not have dry skin being conductive relative to it) If the answer to the above question is no, how do we determine exactly how many joules/second can decrease the resistance of a material like skin? It would have to do with the the way the electrical current would heat up the point of contact and all subsequent points as the previous points were stripped of resistance via the heat right?

As a fellow electrician, I was very impressed with your demonstration, however I know you know something about ohms Law, and you MUST know that "it's not the voltage that hurts or kills you, it's the AMPS (current) had you touched both electrodes at the same time, we would have watched you EXPLODE!!! Just be careful in the future mate!!!

Impressive, However, I was terrified watching you do this. I don't understand why you did not die when you touched the crowbar to both of the bus bars ? This looks very dangerous. I thought that amount of current could kill you immediately ? This is a dangerous video. It should be explained so that novice people trying things do not get killed.

this is a thing of beauty!

best channel ever...

Это он такой прикуриватель сделал? Идиотизм... Я бы понял если бы он после нагрева лома взял кувалду и стал ковать из него меч-кладинец. А так это просто дурь от нечего делать.

This young man could consider using his intelligence in a more useful manner. He is capable of understanding a much higher order thinking than simple transformers where V1/N1=V2/N2 and V1*I1=V2*I2. In the rank of electrical engineering this is simple stuff. Just because he plays about with the high currents it seems he thinks he is doing something great. To me that is like instead of playing around with a handful of sand he unloaded a truckfull of sand and enjoys counting it with a pair of toothpicks. Such enormous currents are so simpleto generate, he should move into higher order thinking, he has potential, but only he must realise it and get out of this low silly stuff.

any issues with core saturation?? I tried something similar and the core vibrated itself to death... the vibration delaminated the "I" portion. I made mine for melting aluminum with carbon electrodes....

love your videos man you're playing with serious voltage and amperage wow its AWESOME!!!!

Sorry Kid, but that is NOT 50,000 Amps. Your 400 MCM windings, triple ganged as you have them with the connectors, can only carry 1,000 Amps at 240 VAC., and the Bus Bars on each end can only handle 500 Amps. The weakest link is your understanding of electrical power system math. Yes, I'm sure, I am an Electrical Engineer. But Double Points on making a clean rig.

this vid made my heat rate go up... i loved it

nice construction job.

How much is 400m2 cable back in blighty? And how much are the lugs? Im using 70 and 95mm2 for an off grid solar rig and its not cheap new. I did score a bit of 95 for free with a bus though, they had it running to the hydraulic tailgate pump from the alternator, nice score! And the 70mm was at a garage sale $5 for 28m red and black.
