Don't be an ass. He's showing you something for free. What have you done for society other than complain and take up space?

@@-kohakuma- doing pretty well as a computer programmer in healthcare, extending access to resources to underprivileged populations! thanks for asking :) hope you've made good use of the five entire years since I posted that comment as well

i almost gave up on the video, but this comment made me hang on till the golden moments!

@@sarah-vs9rb iiiiiii

@@WAXMYDONGHAIR Rofl.

Tried harbour for the first time today as it happens. 20x30mm 12" length of copper...only $180 not including shipping😱. I'll be sticking with eBay/amazon/ali

@@luminousfractal420 Pardon me, but your comment is a little sparse--did you mean the sheet of copper or the bending brake?

@@luminousfractal420 BTW this comment is 7 years old that you're responding to. I can't comment on the current version/revision of a tool. A bending brake is pretty simple though. There's the "bender" part you lay your stock on top of, and the "former" weight (or piece). I'd think it's hard to mess that up, unless they made it out of flimsy aluminum. --Or were you bemoaning the costs to ship it out to you?

same 😅

Same here

+Spencer Henchen me too

Jesus, a warning would have been nice... Then it happened AGAIN.

I thought that's how you know it's ready to bend... lol

if that almost gave you a heart attack, you must be a real panzy!

shots fired 😂

daaang

AAAAAAAhahahahah thanks for the laugh

Nothing gets flipped at Mcdonalds haha

Had a good laugh :) :) :)

***** if you are not interested don't comment

***** Car alarms are fairly complex beasts altogether... first you have to find the wavelength or frequency that the radio operates on, then you have to encode and decode the signal required for communication with the alarm. This all could take weeks depending on the intelligence, database and raw processing power of the data integrity team and their hardware. Unfortunately, the heavy-breather behind the camera, and the flipit man may not have the assets required to perform such an intricate and overreaching behemoth of a task. Likely they would resort to either: refilming a 5 minute video (beyond the scope of the intended budget), removing the battery from the vehicle (legal nightmare with attorney paperwork/legislation, not to mention the engineers that would have to be hired on to a contract of unspecified timing), or filming at a different location (possible zoning restrictions and hostility from local governing bodies). Sadly I believe the end result is that the videographic tribulation of blood sweat and hair driers that is layed out before us may be the only recorded documentation that can be produced at the current time. Hopefully future generations will be able to abstract any underlieing truths and key theories from this experiment and reproduce it in a future analogous digitization, documenting the relativity of localizing a thermal concentration and warping the bendy thingy with one's hands. Godspeed.

+dmbadcat LOL. it's not often I get such a laugh from the comments section

It's the amps that makes magic happen.

I don't want to know what happens if you touch it. The one I had at work (A heater that accepted 1,2 meter wide parts) was low voltage. Burned myself a couple of times when a piece nearly either made contact with the wire or for some other reason, but considering the hot wire breaks the skin barrier that usually saves you from a very nasty shock, I don't want to know what happens when you accidentally make contact with it, 120 or 240 VAC or not. Just use low voltage or make sure you isolate the heater wire from mains supply. The last option is still dangerous should you make contact at two points on the wire, but at least you're isolated from ground. I certainly would not use aluminium foil surrounding such a wire but sturdy profile that you can ground should you NOT use an isolated solution.

It's not the voltage or the amperage like @philgray1023 said. It's wattage. That is determined by the resistance of the coil. You apply voltage to a coil, how much resistance it has determines how much amperage is needed to "push" through the coil. That's wattage. Volts X Amps = Watts. The only thing higher voltages do is allow for less amperage through the same resistance to achieve the wattage. Therefore keeping the electric bill lower and the size of the protection device and wire smaller in effective size. More volts = less amps to achieve the same wattage...

haha, you're welcome!

+Tom Nicholls You didn't read my comment properly before replying. I'll try again: The connection from the mains wire (bzzzzzt, shock, ouch) to the heater element is made above electrically conductive aluminium foil. So if this mains connection touches the foil then the foil becomes live... and then if you touch the foil you could become dead.

+ForViewingOnly sorry man, I got too sassy for my own good

+Tom Nicholls Hah hah :-) No worries Tom

It's no wonder so many people get divorced. Could there really be people as stupid as you

Only 26 out of 27 people have a sense of humour.

It's no wonder how many people get divorced because the husband lost his bone and his funny bone! Wtf kind of reply to a funny comment. Don't call people stupid it's not very nice and it's no wonder how many people say stuff like that behind a keyboard because if they said it in person they would have a headache very quick. I'm sure your wife gets them a lot being married to you hahahaha. I'm laughing bwahahahaha. Dumbo

I'm sure it's OSHA approved

​@@The1adventurebound and that is why USA have 110V mains instead of 240

d

Me too, I think when I was 5. I grabbed the element with whole hand then switched it on! Argh.... Shock ramped up quickly and was significant, but fortunate only about half of the 240V. I can still remember the pulses!
