Medhi: let's find a finger without any cuts _searches for a while_

After watching your videos, I watch horror movies just to relax.

Excellent demonstration!!!!!

Casually makes poisonous chlorine gas- "Idk what is happening" 🤣

*literally sitting in an electric chair* Executioner: *turns on the electricity* Electroboom: ooooooow it stings just a little bit

... because who needs a multimeter when you have fingers, right?

I appreciate Medhi because he's always willing to take those daring moves that most of us succumb to our death for, but he actually lays down the truth to show us just at which point it becomes dangerous

This is probably the most useful DIY channel for me on KZfaq. Reason being, it tells me what NOT to do while I am learning.

"Let's find another finger" Checks pocket

As his finger gets closer to the wire, my anxiety worsens

For a plastic or ceramic-coated bathtub, your glass container is probably an adequate comparison. I do wonder how metal pipes connected to the bathtub sink would impact the flow of electricity though. If you were close enough with your upper body to the live wires and touched the sink with your foot by accident, it might be dangerous as you are now grounded via the metal pipe and the current could flow through your body.

4:27 Electrochemical reaction occur at cathode and anode. In which H+ reduce to H2 gas at cathode and Cl- get oxidise to Cl2 at anode.

Electroboom on an electric chair: "ohh it's starting to hurt now, let's increase the voltage a bit"

4:26 "the electricity is doing something in the water" has definitely become my favourite way to explain electrolysis.

2:28 was that a spark?

Absolutely love watching your videos. I bet you're one of the best electricians out there for the simple reason you try things and learn that others wouldn't even dare too. Be careful

Can’t imagine what his wife says opening up the electric bill every month.

You teach so well. Keep it up!

Wow, that was very interesting content. I love the experiment with the LED light. Now I know how to tell how conductive water is when it comes into contact with electricity whether is it plain water or has minerals in it. Nice!

I think some of the danger with Sinks and Tubs is that the drain may be grounded (if not PVC) so that may impact it. Also, I'm curious as to the conductance of things like soaps, bubble baths, etc. that might be in standing water in a bathroom. I've also heard of people getting electrocuted from touching non-GFCI fixtures with a wet floor. It ended up that the wet floor had a grounded furnace vent in it. I guess the trick is to only use Pex/PVC in your bathrooms and always use GFCI. Love ElectroBOOM's channel. Always educational and he zaps himself so you don't have too. lol

"I was expecting it to zap me to death"

He actually said he was expecting to be zapped to death😂 my man.

I tried this, it went well. I'll give you the details when I'm out of the hospital.

Highly stressful and informative. 5 stars.

Mehdi is literally the kid that asked his grandpa 100 times if the stove really is hot until his grandpa made him touch the red hot stove top haha

I always keep an LED with me when I plan on going swimming.

Very nice video, im studying to become an electrical designer and this was very educational!

That was really cool. Thanks for the great content!

Elecroboom: Wanted to die from electrical shock, ended up dying from chlorine poisoning.

"this is nothing lets go closer" famous last word

I like your videos, aside from the messing around, you are really smart and useful. Thanks and دسخوش

This is absolutely fantastic!

5:04 OUCH, it is hurting!!! Let's try the other finger...

“puts salt in water with a mEtaL spoon” me: *_*chuckles_**

It's really a miracle how this guy is still alive

This is the best MrBOOM

4:24 By the way, this is electrolysing the saltwater, producing hydrogen gas (explosive) and chlorine gas (extremely toxic, used to kill people in WW2). This is far more of a risk than electrocution in this scenario

Now I'll carry a LED wherever I go, to a pool or the beach!

2:31 “Not so bad, I was expecting it to zapped me to death”

i cant express how much i enjoy this guy !!!

Your video is actually more practical and understandable than most materials taught in university. This guy needs to be a professor.

2:20 I can feel electricity here *ALelELaElALelaLElOh*

I must say, this is so much better than the funny videos out there.😂😂

This guy is my favourite youtuber that does experiments like this

3:59 using a metal spoon with live wires lol

When you realize that the comments here was 3 years ago...

The fact that he seemingly doesn't fake these makes it even more funny

You're a riot as usual, keep it up. Can you test the energized water to a seperate neutral/ground ? To get a better measurement, mimicking someone grabbing the normally grounded water spout?

He deliberately cut his finger to teach the difference

You are the funniest guy on the internet hands down. I bow to you!

Excellent video

That intro had me lol!! Please be careful, I really like your videos!!

5:45 HE BUMPS HIS HEAD AFTER HE SAID THAT LMFAOOOOO

*drops LED in water* "oops" *puts hand in water* "AHEEHAAAAH"

5:42 what an exciting sound. We need a compilation of all this guys screams in all his videos put into a game or perhaps a song.

This is nutty and hilarious! Great job!

"i was expecting it to zap me to death" - logical.

How is this guy still Alive? He is godlike.

thank you for doing this experiment

you always get electricity in your all videos, PERFECT

A friend of mine works at a mining operation as an electrician. He said that they run pure water through machines as coolant and it passes through 3 phase (Australia - 720v) without a problem, but they have to change the water out once a week as it picks up minerals via electrolysis and becomes conductive. They run a meter on the pumps and must change it before it gets to a certain amount of resistance. He said even using tap water meets their spec but must be changed a lot sooner. Pretty interesting.

When you pass the current through the salt water, the bubbles are formed by electrolysis of water, creating hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). The yellow colour is caused by a buildup of chlorine (Cl2) in the solution from the electrolysis of the salt itself. The electrolysis of salt also creates sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the solution, which then dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide (OH-), turning the solution alkaline. *Put simply, that water is poisonous as fuck now*.

Not only does your channel teach people, but its also really funny

I know its 7 years later but for anyone wondering passing electricity through water splits it into Hydrogen and oxygen, this also severely corrodes the wires which is the discoloring of the water, its copper oxide.

he’s like Coyote Peterson, but for electricians.

I can feel the electricity aeouoyoae 2:20

Ok.. i had watched him for fun before.. but this is the first time I've learnt something really important..

This is super cool old-school KZfaq, but also very dangerous. Just people doing cool experiments out of curiosity for the world to see just to spread knowledge at any level. I saw a spark at 2:30 dude, you are a brave and curious man.

How did I miss this video? This is one of his best, I had no idea live wires would be almost harmless in water.

5:41 I almost pissed myself laughing 😂

just awesome content, every minute

It would be nice if ElectroBOOM made videos about electricity safety around electric poles and stuff

ElctroBOOM:*drops LED* Also ElctroBOOM: let me just forget everything that I learned

Electroboom:"Do not do this at home, I'm what you call a professional" *Proceeds to create toxic chlorine gas through electrolysis of brine*

I love how he went from “still can’t feel anything” to “f**k” in less than a second

you did an angel job, man

Here’s what happened when he put the two wires in the salt water: Electrolysis occurred, the wire closest to him was the anode (positive electrode) and the wire furthest from him was the cathode (negative electrode). Both wires were bubbling a lot, this is because the anode was giving off chlorine gas from the salt, and the cathode was giving off hydrogen gas from the water, and inside the solution there was sodium hydroxide forming (probably should have washed your fingers after sticking it in there) The reason why the anode wire was completely destroyed was because the copper in it dissolved into the solution during electrolysis and reformed on the cathode where it was reduced, which could of been the reason (or one of them) for the brown-red colour in the solution

5:00 He said it so casually, not even afraid "Wow, I'm starting to feel electricity" "Ouch, it hurts"

I saw water boiling in a PVC junction box once when it got flooded and the power was still on. It was 480v 3 phase with a 60 amp breaker (I’m not sure how many amps it was actually drawing). I’m sure you could do this with 120 volts, but it would take more amperage.

I used to do a demonstration for high school chemistry students where I had a light bulb in a socket with a cord attached. One of the wires in the cord was cut so that I could stick the cut ends into water. So I would have tap water and the bulb wouldn't light. But salt water, it lit up, the closer you held the wires in the water would make the bulb brighter. What this shows is that salt is an ionic compound that dissolves as ions which are capable of conducting electricity. Water easily dissolves salts because water molecules are higher bipolar and able to pick up salt ions. We also tried dissolving sugar in water and the bulb did not light. This showed that sugar is not an ionic compound, that there is a different mechanism at work to dissolve sugar than to dissolve salt.

3:41 I love the art behind that says relax.

When he stuck his finger in I could feel the suspense 😂

This guy is doing the experiments we always wanted do, but too sacred to do, and told not to do by our parents, like putting a nail into a socket....

Youre videos are so funny but also so smart keep it up

Now I know why people from areas with 230V/16A networks are more smart, it is simple darwinism.

girls: i wonder why we live longer than men men:

Amazing professor, let's go!

What you’re seeing is called Electrolysis, the wires are anodes and cathodes where one is oxidising the molecules in the water and one is reducing the molecules in the water. For instance, sodium ions will be reduced to pure sodium and chloride ions oxidised to chlorine gas. There’ll be a mixture of different redox reactions happening at the electrodes. I’m a chemist but I haven’t visited this topic in a while so the exact reactions happening may differ depending on the composition of the water and voltage of the wires

I like how he kind of struggled to find a finger without a cut on it

a successful teacher is a person who cuts his finger to teach people about electricity. see y'all in 4 years when this pops up in our recommended again

Knowing a tiny bit of chemistry this feels more dangerous than the electric guitar

wooow ya you put it all together well i used to do this experiment 10 years ago

if the LED turns on, dont go into the water😂

that monobrow,man...that thing wins the internet every freakin time.

Hey! thanks for the info!

The best Science Teacher provoking research interest in me I met @ 65 year age !

This is what a good teacher does. Making education fun and interesting. Forget Bill Nye, this is the real Science Guy.

His life insurance company watching this priceless

30 seconds in and i already learned the meaning of life and the entire history of the universe and what there is to come

I can’t stand the intense beat in my heart every time he put his finger into the water
