I'm still lost, I need someone to explain it with more electric shocks. Know anyone who could help with that?

half of the video flew over my head

"What is that? A crossover episode?" 🤣

As an Electrician with experience of more than 50 years I disagree. It's neither the amps nor the volts but in fact, it's the Devil which kills you.

So no video saying it's wrong? Good

WRONG!!! you can also trip and crack your head off of it. you are clearly not a super genius of music like myself. (i have never played guitar in my life)

got a point

Yes, but it's not a 100% valid one. Some things kill you by long time exposure and other things kill you if you have the wrong reaction in the wrong situation. So this argument only disproves immediate killing by electricity.

@@benrex7775 Did you only watch 5 minutes into the video? Time affected is a huge point here.

Exactly, because when the argument is something will kill you, and it doesn't, no amount of flexing degrees or occupations will refute reality. Here Pyro is actually demonstrating the scientific method instead of the authority bias like others.

@@billbill6094 I was answering a different question than you think. I was aware of most of what he said before I watched the video. I mean stuff like the radiation from the teslacoil could be long term damaging to the body. For example the UV of the plasma can cause skin cancer over the decades. Or the microwaves might cause cancer below the skin. And if you have electricity in your body it electrolyzes bodily fluids. Just because it doesn't have a short term damage, it might accumulates over the decades.

An electric shock can make serious damages to your heart. Making it skip a beat and in the long run could potentionally kill your later in life.

epic pfp

Any wire on a 12v car is always perfectly safe to touch by hand (*except* the ignition circuit). Shorting one out can result in clouds of smoke and burnt wiring, but it can't bite you. The same goes for the insides of computers, so long as you don't open up the power supply. (In fact you're more likely to kill the computer if you touch the wrong thing, than the other way around). My brother used to work in a telephone exchange in the last century. Their standby power was a room full of lead-acid batteries, wired to give 50 volts. There was no particular hazard from touching the wrong thing by hand, *but* stainless steel watch straps were forbidden (leather ones OK). You really would not want a steel watch strap to suddenly become white hot while you were wearing it...

Just don't touch the spot welds, that could be problematic

It's all dark arts to me. I'm an engineer and understand this conceptually but to come up with it on my own would be very unlikely. I'd probably make the wrong conclusion about the demon circuit not knowing that because it lacks isolation, it is deadly.

Wait… REALLY?!?

"so why would anyone think that you were some tenage hack playing with electricity?" Perhaps because that is exactly what it looks like.

You have that in most industries basically. I am a software engineer and I’ve heard plenty of older people suggesting they have a better understanding of things based on years sat on a chair than somebody young with a passion and curiosity, doing research non-stop, learning from the best in the industry instead. I am now responsible for interviews and I always put passion and curiosity as one of the highest values.

@@aliancemd "I am a software engineer" COL (chuckle out loud). Is that what used to be called a computer programmer? But it had nuances.

No creativity is needed for coders.

Why is the HV isolated?

@@citricdemon In the case of the microwave HV transformers they have connected them to use for Lichtenberg burning (also known as fractal burning or wood fracking). They connect the transformer primary GFCI protected 120V and use the HV side to arc into wet or damp wood. The transformer is in its very nature isolating since the windings are not physically connected, but magnetically coupled. The GFCI cannot protect in this manner. It picks up the imbalance of current between hot and neutral in the circuit and cannot sense if ground current is flowing on the secondary of the isolated HV output. Hope I explained that ok...

Just curious, what have you done to qualify yourself as a master electrician? Not trying to say you aren't, simply interested in what determines when an electrician becomes a master of their craft.

@The Roober It's literally a qualification called "Master Electrician" I believe.

@@RSpracticalshooting Most likely a master's degree from a university

@@RSpracticalshooting you get trained by a green skinned midget on some lost planet who is also a master

@The Roober Certainly! I went to a trade school. I'm very fortunate that the company I worked for at the time paid for it, so long as I worked for them full time, and my grades stayed at A+ I could be remembering that wrong, but I'm certain it was A+ grades. It took four years of an apprenticeship while working, so at minimum 1,000 documented hours of electrical work to get my Journeyman license. After that, I needed at least one year of working as a Journeyman to be able to take the Masters test to become eligible for a Master electrician license. Once I had finished all of that, my State's Department of Regulatory Agencies (Division of Professions and Occupations) reviewed everything and approved my license, granting me the title of Master Electrician. In the US, it varies state by state, but it's generally correct that someone must have at least 1,000 hours of work in one trade, then approval from a board of directors to be certified as a Master of their trade. I hope that helps explain the process!

But also, just because someone does something and doesn't experience any negative consequences doesn't mean they didn't get lucky. I can't stand it when someone says, "I've done that several times and haven't have any problems, so it must not be bad."

Yup, the classic argument from authority

@@chitlitlah On the flipside, at least that person did it several times and didn't experience any problems, compared to many of these supposed experts flaunting their degrees that very likely never performed a single live experiment to back up their claims at all. They're nothing but pencil-pushers with only rote academia; they know the _theory,_ but never put it to practice themselves. Meanwhile, the other guy did, potentially multiple times, thus at least lending credence to his claims. Theory only becomes valid after experimentation renders proof. Not before. These snobby academics are nothing but theorists mindlessly regurgitating some cherry-picked factoid they likely heard mindlessly regurgitated by someone else claiming to have credentials (known as "appeal to authority") but equally few actual experimental proofs of their own, creating a cycle of pretension. And, what's worse, they're often so wrapped up in their ego, they will simply refuse to accept any proof given, regardless of how many times it can be repeated, simply because it doesn't line up with their perceived notions of understanding on the subject, on paper alone. You can show it to them - rub the proof in their faces even - and yet they'll stubbornly refuse to even consider it, let alone accept it. There's simply far too much ego infecting the science.

@@WCM1945 Of course electricity is always conservative and follows the path of least resistance assuming also resistance change depending on thermal tolerances.

True! He's really deep into the matter and cares well what he's doing and saying. While a lot of other so called experts are just repaeting nonsense they have read or heard somewhere. One example on how horribly wrong these things can go is this here: some time ago I've read an doctoral thesis of a so called "master of science" about how the old charge and energy limits of 50 µC and 350 mJ are bull shit as this is not realistic and would limit the amount of energy electrostatic machines and devices can hold to way too low valuesto be effective. It is true that IEC 60479-2 states that the low risk of ventricular fibrillation for a healthy adult starts at around 3-5 mC (c1 line). But this just a roof limit for the *immediate risk of death* and not a green card to all kinds of stupidities one can do with electricity below these limits. Also energy will increase with the same charge being delivered at higher and higher voltages causing a unique danger on its own with all its effects on it own. As I've done quite a few experiments with electric pulses from various devices on my own body I can tell pretty much which kind of signal creates what kind of effects. I pointed out to the person in question that the electrical charge as a measure is right for stimulus strength from short pulses but that there are a few problems with the precise values given for *health danger*. Health danger is not only limited to *death from electrocution*. Even a strong muscle cramp causing damage to nerves and muscle tissue would be enough to set a limit way below 5 mC. In my experience one should never go over 10 -15 µC, if possible, as this gives you already a strong shock you won't repeat and gives you some pain in the ass for several hours in your arm. Also one has to consider the worst case scenario. Just throwing funny numbers and concepts all around the space withoput knwoing what they mean in a specific context means nothing. I am talking about large surface contact areas and shocks being strong enough to cause some kind of significant harm to health. Also one has to look at energy seperately for thermal, physical and chemical damage to the cells. Also it is about situations where one can expose themselves safely to voltages and body currents without the need to switch of the voltage. So if the stuff is too strong just take other measures in order to work without any contact to dangerous voltage. Also they have set the value for long term contact voltage to E < 50 V for low voltage which is not hazardous. This contrats other norms. But you don't need norms to know that you don't want to shock yourself with only 30 V (AC). Now I wrote a lot about this and I could write een more but what is important is that always be sceptical about what others tell you, even your own teachers and masters and try to educate yourself as best as possible.

Remember the basic physics law that higher frequencies have more trouble travelling further because they dissipate energy faster. Ohm's law might not mean shit for the human body, but still if you replace the resistance in the equation with the complex impedance you'll see that you get a much lower current out of a given voltage at higher frequencies. So it makes sense that higher frequency currents are less dangerous.

I like your basic description.

@Google user well, because 90% of those people made up those qualifications in the first place.. and the rest 20% are just id.iots. btw, trust me, im right, im a math expert

Important historical comment

Many old houses that used to have land lines have copper lines that still carry those 48 volts, even in a power outage. I'm a curious electrician and I've found about 90% of the homes that have the solid copper red, green, yellow and black (in my sector) have power. Charge your phones, have lights and more in a blackout. Also it used to be telephone company, not companies. Bell ran the world and invented everything. You know who else sits on the board of the NEC? CEO's of major electrical parts companies, Legrand, Hubbel, Leviton and others. Why do you think GFCI's are required everywhere and cost $35...

I mean this is true, but bear in mind engineers certainly didn’t choose 48V by accident. I’m sure much effort was made to find a compromise voltage that minimized transmission losses while maintaining an acceptable safety margin. No way 48V was chosen by accident!

@Corey Moullas while I'm sure there were technical reasons for the 48v standard I would wager a month salary that safety was bottom of the list, if it even made the page! You gotta remember this was established at a time when ppl were smoking cigarettes with asbestos filters for Christ's sake! Edit: oh and let's not forget knocking back shots of radium tonic to wash down the bread cut with plaster and the cheese preserved with embalming fluid lmfao

@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n You can't get very much current out of the phone line though. It's current limited to ~30mA. You can put a bare LED across a phone line with no current limiting resistor, and the LED lights about normal (I'm talking like an indicator LED, not a high brightness lighting LED). I discovered that as a kid playing with LEDs and phone lines. So yes, you get "free power" from the phone company if you still have a landline that runs to your house, but the amount of power you can actually get from it is minuscule. It certainly will NOT charge a phone during a power outage. Now as an adult (and engineer), I'd actually measure the voltage and current with an LED across the phone line, if I had a phone line. Only fiber runs to my house :(

Honestly, I would be kind of concerned having someone like that on a safety board at any company where a lot of electricians work for whatever reason, because how can you truly keep everyone out of company safe when you do not understand what can and cannot kill them
