I would personally use my hairdryer's heating element as a seat warmer like you first did it in your seat warmer video

(9:38) this spoon potentiometer is one of the best physics demonstrations ever!! You can see the wire getting hotter when there's less resistance, and you can conclude that more current flows through

As an industrial electrician i love the way that im still entertained by your antics even though I can see whats about to happen. If these vids were around 25 years ago i would have been doing all this in my teens. Great content

If you watch his videos from the perspective that everything that happens is intentional, (which I'm pretty sure is the case) you'll realize that Mehdi is a legitimate genius. Seriously.

"I'll make a hair dryer using only a potentiometer, a spoon, and a hair dryer"

That foam cutter looks insanely useful, the "official" ones are usually pretty expensive.

I love the fact that when Medhi high fives his daughter, it makes the same sound as a fuse popping. Which in turn causes him to react with the same scream he would make if a fuse had blown. Either coincidence or an Easter egg, I love it.

"wood is not fire resistant" I love learning new things from Electroboom .

An Electroboom and ElectroCute collab will always be wholesome. Puts a smile on my face every dang time

"Wood is not fire resistant." -ElectroBOOM, 2022

The real five minute crafts.

“But the tip of this thing is a little too wide” *Continues to touch the engraver* 😂😂💀

The magnet connecting batteries trick blew my mind completely, I was thinking how to get rid of battery holders for a project some time ago

9:48 - Mehdi just invented a hair dryer. It's like that meme: Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone.

I hope you know you're the inspiration I needed to go back to school and learn to be an electrical engineer. Your work is awesome, and your affect on people is even greater. Thank you for the entertainment and education you continue to provide!

This was probably my favorite episode of yours. Inventive and hilarious as always. Keep it up Mehdi!

A mild mannered engineer accidentally electrocutes himself one too many times? We are basically watching an extended supervillain origin story. I’m here for it.

normal people: living day to day. mehdi: surviving from video to video. ( I know he is a professional and is mostly safe but still....)

I swear I have never learned and laughed at the same time so much in my life. I love this channel

Showing how to make a potentiometer with using a spoon was actually quite helpful in understanding the concept! Thank you very much.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the Heated Entertainment electroboom has given us. I love it

I fought wild fire for years.... I once heard a reporter asking another fire fighter a question about the state of the fire. The fire fighter replied: "Well, you see, the thing is... Trees are wood. And wood burns." Then he just turned around and walked away. The look on that ladies face was priceless... So good.

Hi Mehdi, the foam cutter you built is a very useful tool, yesterday I tried to build one at home using a car booster that outputs 4 amps of current and I ended up with a blown fuse ahah However I tried again with a diffent DC power supply and it worked!!! Keep making videos like these where we can learn a lot of things from broken tools

3:36 loved the piano

You forgot to list the mica paper among the interesting parts a broken hair dryer has. The mica can resist temperatures well over 200 °C and is electrically insulating. This combination makes special enough to make noteworthy. If you ever need a structural element in your heater design, mica is a good choice.

4:48 you've just made an electric match!!

Real talk im a grown adult and even I want to buy and put together a couple things from kiwico. They may be for kids but ngl it looks really fun and I love science stuff.

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

4:36 A Fire Resistant item, "Wooden Stick" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perfect cut at 5:46

I've only stumbled onto your video's two days ago and i've not been able to stop watching. thank you, you have made me want to expand my mind and learn something new. thanks again made my 41st birthday today more interesting

This man is a fantastic teacher. Both showing practical elements of electricity as well as demonstrating what can go WRONG in a relatively safe manner. He knows what he’s doing.

10:36 facial expressions this man is capable are simply astounding

9:08 Mehdi is the type of guy to say “stop it” to a fire Edit: 1 MORE LIKE!!!

8:45 Loop-a Doop-a Loop-a Doop-a Loop-a Doop-a Loop

This was a very creative and interesting video based on a simple home product. Great stuff. Thanks!

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.

11:38 it sounds like a High Five on High Voltage

That foam cutter looks extremely interesting as someone who builds RC foamies. The typical storebought foam cutters are usually a rod that makes it extremely hard to do anything but straight cuts cleanly.

2:00 I love how he goes from upset to happy at the new knowledge

Can’t wait to try my new hair cutting 💇‍♂️ foam dryer 👌

10:47 Ah yes 100 year old children just a normal day on earth.

Plenty of sparks and burns. A classic ElectroBoom episode. Love it.

Always great entertainment when videos come out on this channel love it

Hoo boy, still remember when ElectroCute was just a wee toddler.

The "some fluid dynamic effect" may be the Venturi effect, increasing fluid flow speed drops the pressure , lower pressure in the tube lets atmospheric pressure outside the tube force the smoke into it...then again what do I know, I'm also an electrical engineer ;)

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.

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.

5:59 please don't die😂

In high school, I tried making foam cutter without adding resistor. It turned into lightbulb.

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]

Electroboom is the best guy in KZfaq of talking, building, and surviving of his electric stuffs.

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 how ElectroBoom always sees a positive side of a failed experiment

i love the little detail of his hand smacking into the kiwico logo at the end there

I just like these videos.The time goes too fast while watching these and I learn so many new circiuts.

7:30 -The fluid dynamic effect is: if a Fluid gains kinetic energy, it must lose pressure...so the smoke is "pushed" by the air at atmospheric pressure into the tube, which is at a lower pressure due to the airflow inside.

Used to watch him years ago, he never disappointed me. Keep up the great content!

6:38 i was waiting for that to happen. Did it exactly the same, tho i wasnt even looking it up online just assumed it works on 230V. I have tripped some breakers in the internat, but the have locked them with the well lock so i culdn't just reset them, and my pedagogue was too afraid of even touching them, and ofc they won't allow me touch it either... So after that i have installed DIN mounted B6 breaker thinking it ll pop out first. Then i have learned that it only work for overcurrent, and if you short circuit out all of them ll pop out in the row so XD, it didn't help at all.

3:51 Technically, *anything* is a fuse if you try hard enough.

The "HA! That's my daughter!" REALLY MADE ME LAUGH HAHAHH she's just like you! XD

5:50 the lick-ten-burger figures make a fashionable comeback!

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!

5:39 intrusive thoughts win

6:05 Mehdi just made the Taser tree

I'm sorry that "Suck Off" joke was so funny I have no idea what exploded at 6:35, rewinding! ❤️

I made a Silver melting forge out of a trashcan and a Hair Drier. strong enough to mix Brass, Melt Silver... Cant quite get gold and Copper to stay molten but made me lots of pretty aluminum sodacan bars and brass casts

These blooming video's always make me jump but can't help but watch

This guy is a genius teaching applicable electronics with comedy and something everybody has at home making it seem easy enough.

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!

Mehdi, I honestly believe you are one of the very smartest science comedian out there. This here video was pure genius. The depth of your work does not go unnoticed.

Your skill in crafts is impressive, a man of many talents~! the foam duck was perfect.

Who would imagine he would evolve so much, i remember him setting his mustache on fire 😀

Now that's how you do sponsored adverts! Also a standing ovation for putting it at the end of the video

wow the duck was amazing!! great video as always!

You can also make a light bulb out of the filament too (well maybe an alert light bult) and it'll help keep you items of interest warm too.... You can make an incubator heater from it too.

Hi, ElectroBoom, as a electronics student, videos like this really helps me to know what I can do with my electronic scraps here in my home. Great video btw

Plenty of cool ideas! Now try make something to blow warm air on your hair to dry them

"YOU CAN MAKE A FUSE!" 😂 Greatest reaction ever!

Not only an amazing content creator but also an super cool father! God bless you! 💯💜

4:09 reminds me when i put same same wire in two sockets of switch board ! Pufffff 💥 ! 😂

My favorite guy! Hands down best balance of hilarious and educational! Wish I could shake hands with you sir!

"Some fluid dynamic effect" is called "entrainment". It's demonstrated nicely with a Dyson fan. These things are ridiculously expensive though, and I'm not sure why, because they're also highly "planned obsolescent". I know this because I found one in the trash and fixed it. Basically it is made in such a way that a user couldn't clean out air filters when they got dirty. The air flow is eventually reduced to near zero and then it hits the trash can. In order for me to get to air filters I had to un-solder the 12 wires going to the control PCB and solder them back on after I removed the old filters. I didn't bother replacing them, - as they were made from foam (!) I mean you charge in excess of $400 for a fan with air filtration and you're too cheap to put a decent HEPA filter in it! Now it's just a compressor powered fan (and it was always just a fan, foam that mattresses are stuffed with is no air filter. So, if you're planning on wasting your hard earned $ on a Dyson fan, - now you know what kind of environmentally damaging SCAM you're paying for in order to dazzle your friends with a fan that supposedly has no blades (yeah right, that compressor inside is bellows-operated by little elves) . You're welcome. 😉

I still love this guy, even if I’m taking a break from engineering. He cracks me up

Electroboom is one villain origin story away from becoming a mad scientist

I just love how ElectroBOOM is not only an amazing electrician and content creator, he also seems like such a lovely father and has fun with his family while still entertaining millions around the world! big ups to the one and only!!!

i just watch his videos for a good time of watching a man getting shocked in every new way possible

Thanks for commentary, it really helps!

2:02 "it BLOOOH like a fuse " Electroboom

Reminds me of the wood burning pencil I had as a kid... Its basically a soldering iron with a brass tip to burn into wood. Never used it.. lol

The first time I used a cheap homemade popcorn maker, it honestly reminded me of a hair dryer, and the first thing I thought was that it was made from repurposed hairdryer components to cut costs. (At the core, it’s really just a heating coil and a fan, and said fan sounds exactly like a hairdryer!)

"Wood is not fire resistant" I have never heard words spoken so truly in my life

I love that the High five slap from her sounded like a spark when something you made blows up, even with the "aaouuch" lol

"hi, today we want to get into the amazing world of an hairdryer :D!" _brutally murders said hairdryer_

Could you do a video explaining how switching power supplies work? What electronic wizardry allows my laptop to work both in North America and in Europe?

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.

7:37 You built an ejection inducter, or educter; they're commonly used in aircraft fuel systems to move fuel from one tank to another without having to put mechanical pumps everywhere.

9:30 never knew I needed a trusty spoon... such wisdom

I saw you in meme growing this is a first-time youtube recommended your channel I hope to see the amazing stuff you do. Good work

This man’s transitions to sponsors are uncannily seamless.
