I really wanna see this alarm clock. Let’s hit those 200k

I hope Mehdi is doing alright, he hasn't posted in a while. Oh... A thumbnail of him sticking a knife in a toaster... he's doing just fine!

201k likes. I guess that clock with a magazine of capacitors will be made, huh? 8:30

It's time for the alarm clock, Electroboom, video hit 200k likes.

"When the circuits are alive do not touch them with a knife." This is absolutely correct. Always use a fork!

The LATITY series is one of my most favorite contents in this channel. Mehdi never fails to entertain me with his "SHOCKING" discovery and knowledge

7:28 If you listen closely you can hear a electric motor running

I love how he pretty much says “wow, that is so dangerous, let’s do it.”

"When the circuits are alive, do not touch them with a knife" - Mehdi 2022.

This guy literally made me choose electrical engineering as my career path. Thanks mehdi.

I used to stick butter knives in toasters all the time as a kid, because, if I pressed the toaster's filament with the side of a knife, it'd turn from red back to black. And then when taken off it slowly heats up again. It was just amusing. Best part is? Butter knives don't have plastic handles. I was using a solid metal knife to prod inside a toaster. Purposefully touching the filament. While myself being definitely grounded. *DOZENS OF TIMES* ! Fun!

Where's that alarm clock? 200k likes lol

6:05 "It must be chloride" **smells** "Yay, which is poisonous" **surprised pikachu face**

Mehdi: "The worst thing you can do is if you grab a knife with no plastic insulation [...] you might get a shock" Also Mehdi: *holds knife by the blade and violently waves it around*

1:18 interesting thing I remember seeing is TKOR tried this (the knife was attached to a long stick and a grounding wire for safety, rather than in anyone's hand directly) and the knife seemed to form a very weak "weld" with the heating element and stuck slightly (weld probably isn't the right word, but its the best one I can think of right now)

0:56 can i just stick a fork in?

3:54 Tyler1 in an electroboom video. Never thought I'd see that

That transition from him sticking a knife into the toaster to the other guys when it blew up was really smooth

exploding alarm clock when??

0:50 the sound effect even come before the explosion of the toaster, we would have even seen a mild flash first then herd the sound

3:50 tyler making it to ElectroBOOM channel. 5Head Confirmed

The toaster thing actually is significantly more dangerous with an older toaster. New toasters have grounded plugs and casings, but if you have an older one it was pretty common to get them with a non-polarized plug and no grounding. For such a toaster there is a 50/50 chance (depending on which way the plug is plugged in) that the heating element is live all the time even with the toaster turned off.

There is 200k likes, where is the Alarmklok

3:15 Norway flag gates is the best, lol

1:06 TROLL!

Just remember, when you're holding that knife handle, that, on some full tang models, the metal of the blade extends through the handle and is exposed on top and bottom.

I had the idea of the capacitor alarm last week, so surprised to see it here too, I would love to see you do it, I would like to make it later as well

My uncle would’ve loved this, he was a extremely big fan of yours. Your videos bring me some happiness because I get to think of my uncle while watching them

The very first "welding machines" were exactly this: just a tank of brine/salty water to limit current. This was however, over a century ago, before covered electrodes were being sold commercially and a vital part of a "welder's toolkit" was a peening hammer, to knock shut the porosities/bubbles which occur in unshielded weld beads.

When I was very young and stupid, I stuck a knife into a toaster and suddenly the whole room lost power. I guess it was a GFCI or RCD breaker in the consumer box.

Who's here after he made the alarm clock?

We are at 200k likes ElectroBOOM it's your time now

3:04 if I shock myself enough I might be able to do a full 360

The bubbles forming from the electrodes is actually mostly hydrogen which is even worse considering you're generating sparks right next to a highly flammable gas. Some chlorine does form but at a much slower rate and a part of it usually ends up making a layer on top of the water because of how heavy of a gas it is.

Where is alarm clock?

200k likes reached! He has to do it now ;)

Mehdi realizing he's breathing chloride, 6:10 lmao

Toasters did not always have polarized plugs, which meant that the heating element could be connected to the live wire depending on how it was plugged in. Even if the toaster was off the exposed wires in the toaster could be live.

Get the likes going guys!! Wanna see the video and this genius just deserves is. I love his personality

The rotating solar powered device is called a Mendocino Motor, and yes, it works like Mehdi says. I have one, actually :)

"When the circuits are alive, do not touch them with a knife." - Jenifer Brezhnev - 2022

6:00 "assuming it is salt water, it must be chloride or something. Which is poisonous"

7:10 To think that this guy is an actual professor of chemistry...

Man you by far have been my favorite KZfaqr for years!

the guy in the corner is Tyler1 lmao

I'm very stressed at college right now but this video has cheered me up and removed some of it. Thank you for another banging upload Mehdi.

6:00 fun fact, that gas is not salt-based but a mixture of H2 and O2, a process called electrolysis (I think). The salts there just to let current flow because pure water is a poor conductor. It's cool for making fuels :D

I also did that, stick a knife in a toaster. But it was an all metal knife, so also the handgrip conducted lol. But i didn't really felt anything and the ground switch popped, we have those here by default in the fuse closet of the house / appartment.

4:01 that's Tyler1 why the hell is he there...

I get so much courage after watching your videos Mehdi. I honestly feel immune to electricity right now. I'll be in the shop making a free energy machine.

1:05 this part felt so real for a moment 😂😂😂

The first video made me think "What kind of weirdo is that?" I've been watching your videos since 10 a.m. and I've rarely been so entertained. Keep it up!

LATITY is one of the best series on this channel. I enjoy every Episode. Keep going like this 👍👍

I love this channel so much. It’s so informative and entertaining

@ElectroBOOM I know I'm late, but I've just discovered your channel & subscribed. I've not been left disappointed! This is some of the best entertainment the platform has! Have you ever considered doing experiments with radio frequencies? You could probably do so by getting an FCC or Ham radio licence.

"who is this guy in the corner?" Me: oh no, it's Tyler1

5:50 BRUH YOUR EYES

must be chlorine... which is poisonous! this is why we love the channel, congrats to almost 5mil.

I really wanna see this alarm clock. Let's hit those 200k

Ducking love your videos man, keep up the good work! :)

8:29 Another great alarm clock: a cloud of hydrogen, mixed optimally with oxygen and then a spark somewhere inside. That bang wakes up!

9:01 *"you never become immune"* _what the government wants us to think about covid_

Can't wait for the alarm clock,love your videos

4k left till that alarm clock, let's get it guys!!!!!!

0:22 that "ok bommer if you....." triggered my Google assistant

6:49 as a Turkish i can confirm we have the best scammers in the world

Been watching you forever, saw a 3d printer in background. Yaaaay . Random thoughts but you rock man !!!

we hit 200k! build the alarm clock!

About the saltwater welding: AvE did a test of I forgot what it was, where he used a bucket of saltwater to adjust the current that flows through the setup. The deeper the electrode is in the water, the more surface area and apparently more amps. Maybe you can also have a little fun with this idea. Great video as usual, thanks!

Congratulations in advanced man. 5 million is really close and you deserve all of it :D

chop chop electro-boy wheres my alarm clock

Oh damn, Just 15.000 likes short of Medhi making an automatically reloading capacitor alarm clock.

3:45 why is t1 in the corner lol

Im glad to see this man's channel grow

I know this is a few months too late, but you should try the toaster thing on an antique toaster with a non-polarized two prong plug. One where either the filament OR THE CHASSIS is live.

Keep up the AMAZING work dude!

Now you have reached over 5m subs! Congratulations! (obviously it's deserved). We want a new celebration video with a bunch of educational material in it alongside with hilarious moments 😂

This man is almost at 5 million subscribers!! You earned it; keep up the fantastic and entertaining work!

6:05 small correction, it's a mix of hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine (it isn't chloride unless it's negatively charged).

Idk how this guy is still alive. I like watching this guy because I'm too scared of getting shocked to do anything close to this.

2:17 “What is the worst thing that can happen? The explosion in a hotel in the UK?” The fact that this was said by an Iranian electrician makes it even more comical... and suspicious

Every LATITY Episode: Mehdi: Thats very dangerous. Never try at home! Also Mehdi: Lets try it anyways.... Mehdi A few seconds later: **Shocks Himself** Mehdi at the end: VERY DANGEROUS! NEVER TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

I watched you in my child hood your amazing man!

200k achieved ! Please make the exploding capacitor alarm clock! 😅💥

My first job was with Marion power shovel in 1969 and all of the welding machines were water welders ,you raised and lowered one of the electrodes to adjust the current , this was pre OSHA days !!

That little solar panel motor seems like a fun desk toy. Might have to try that sometime.

to keep pressing number 5 on your keyboard in this video is just one of the best things ever

This man is really speed-running the maintenance schedule on his entire house electric

Theatre lights used to use salt water pots for dimmers. Lower/raise the electrodes to change the current.

Congrats on 5M mehedi Can't wait for the 5M video

As for the toaster, the heating element can be thought of as a potentiometer. If you touch the knife to the heating element near the energized side, it will have a higher voltage than if you touch the heating element near the neutral (electrical return) side. If you do not have a grounded outlet, touching the knife to the heating element and also letting the knife touch the metal case, will energize that metal case. If it is grounded but doesn't have a GFCI outlet, then the same thing will possibly energize the metal case a little bit or not as much, depending on the amount of resistance on the return path from the ground connection on the outlet to the neutral connection in your main electric box (where the ground system is officially set at 0 volts). More ground path resistance results in less protection for anybody touching the metal case, but less resistance means the current may be higher and more likely to burn out the heating element in your toaster (or trip the circuit breaker in your circuit breaker box, whichever happens first). Only a GFCI outlet is designed to detect extremely small ground currents and switch off in response to such small ground currents (tripping at only a few milliamps, instead of the 10 to 20 amps needed to trip a normal circuit breaker).

6:30 gandiBOOM

Mehdi, I want to thank you for your very entertaining and educational videos. I started my electrician apprenticeship this January and if it wasn't for all the binge watching of your videos, I wouldn't be half as knowledgeable as I am now, even this early in my career. Thank You!!

Each of Mehdi's videos are so informative. I really enjoy watching him because of that.

That is kind of smart like a magnet powered engine that could be useful for like a spare engine or probably an engine for a plane with so much rpm!

we've hit 205K already, time to see the alarm clock experiment!

He literally welds *over* his laptop. Pure engineer 💙😂

hehehe the Capacitors Reloading Clock is coming.. 👀

2:50 - I know a story of a man that tried to fix a microwave using a metal knife, but unfortunately had touch the HV wire with the knife, the MOT was on and he was electrocuted and died due high voltage.

Have you ever done stand up comedy? Mad me laugh so much hahahha
