Yeah I used to burn pennies with a blowtorch just to see this color.

We meet again!

When we used to Weld galvanized metal we would drink a ton of milk to help alleviate that problem it definitely helped but it didn’t get rid of the problem yeah that was back before you had to wear all sorts of gear when you did everything and that wasn’t that long ago I’m not that old

@@600wheel yup depends on the company.. few years back i was just learning how to weld and had a project with galvanized caster wheels. foreman comes over to tell me about how bad the fumes are and to be careful and not inhale them.. about an hour into the job..

yeah! I thought the same thing

pliers were cooler, literally 🤣

yeah it got cool

I'm pretty sure that's just light from the burning nail reflecting off the pliers, but it does still show that effect, which is cool. Now I want to see visualizations of heat transfers to metal....

@@mysss29 the part of the nail that the pliers are on doesn’t get nearly as red. It’s definitely absorbing some of the heat

That was the first thing I was taught when welding

Ya I remember learning that and seeing that smoke gave me a chill

I was thinking to myself and asking isn't welding galvanized stuff not a good idea. My guess is that he didn't breath enough in that it would cause long term damage

@@zathrael You're right though ignorance is bliss I guess. If you get exposed a handful of times it might not have any effect on you. It all comes down to what your genetic predisposition is. In my family we have high instances of lung cancer. Us having little bitch lungs means we should be more careful, in my humble opinion of course.

First thing I thought 😅 was like shiiiiet, better have a mask/adequate extraction, noooot what you wanna see.

You are absolutely right, smart as hell, and really cute lad! Love his expressions! ❤

I welded a zinc bolt and got metal fume fever. took a breath of it and fell over, lungs were burning!

No way. You need a lot of zinc to get fine fever at least in my experience. I’ve welded and plasma cut large galvanize pipe without protection for 8 hours and been totally fine. And I was breathing that stuff hard.

@@iansmith8944 no you weren't lol zinc poisoning is a thing

@@iansmith8944 while cadmium is the more likely to knock you out on the spot zinc can definitely hit you hard in a very short span of time.

@@yeetteet3739 never said it wasn’t. It takes a lot of fumes to do it though. Where I worked guys would get it but rarely.

It’s not that bad

@@iansmith8944 "It's not that bad" he says while shaking horribly....

@@prozacgod the fever isn’t fun but as far as long term issues there is very little evidence it has a negative effect on the body.

@@iansmith8944 except for all the dudes who died in their sleep after welding galvanized steel

@@bishoppope2921 yeah I said long term. Lots of things will kill when to much is inhaled. I worked at a company that welded galvanized and many of the guys regularly got sick before we got ventilators but it’s extremely hard to overexpose yourself.

Yeah, can confirm. Metal fume fever will lay you down.

That are now useless as they have been heat treated and most likely softer than they were designed.

actually, it's fine since the current flows through a path of least resistance, the nail in this case. And he didn't say what the voltage is or whether it's AC or DC, since you can have huge currents at low voltage, depending on the source.

@@chikaBurton I would estimate Voltage to be ~1kV ... Never measured an iron/galvanized Nail but with a small contact area maybe ~1 Ohm? *Edit: Watched again and the contact area is huge! Voltage could be way lower!

@@Checkercorner the voltage will be around 3 volts ac

It's not the insulation that protected him, it's the fact that his hand isn't between the electricity and where it wants to go. :3

@Benjamin milk: healthy bones, less zinc poisoning

Fun fact: milk does absolutely nothing for zinc poisoning. It's an old myth.

Just give him the mulk Josh!

This man welds

@@DanielHJeffery Just needs a glass of malk that's all!

He's probably wearing some kind of a mask in a well ventilated room or your comment is correct

@@WinterAsked no one cares

You step the voltage down. 220v at 32 AMPs is the same as 70v at 100Amp and the same as 7v at 1000Amp.

@@tubi2123 That smoke is a sure fire way to get metal poisoning if you were going to inhale it. Also known as galvie shakes

Is it that bad?? I often weld a galvanized metal and just use a pretty cheap protection (and only if that available)

use a gas mask like I do cus galvanized metal vapor can poison you.

@@howgameworks Either you've been lucky or you're about to figure out that weird illness you seem to pick up now and then. Breathing the fumes of certain metals (particularly zinc and cadmium) can cause a fever, chills, dizziness, a splitting headache, and tremors.

Does the nail itself look green? It looks pink to me.

I did the same thing! I used different thicknesses and was probably the coolest experiment of my childhood.

I had this model rocket detonator which basically just passed a current through two alligator clips to start a spark. I used to do the same thing with mechanical pencil lead and it was awesome.

lead or graphite?

Your so right that Zinc heated up and turned into gas is very poisonous. It doesn't look live he has good ventilation or fans in this video. Plus he should be telling his fellow followers not to point laser in someone eyes. Whoops I mean heating up galvanized metal can cause death or health issue's so be very careful. And not weld the metal because of how dangerous it could be.

@@vyranlaise8356 agreed

@@nateshrager512 it’s for everyone else watching that have no idea this could kill you

pliers were a heat sink.

No its just heating up on either end since those are the points of contact and the middle heats up slower since the pliers are a heatsink

Yes, very toxic. And all that pretty smoke and burning air is the plating turning into vapor conveniently there for him to breath.

Best not do that here or you'll get lung damage and zinc poisoning, no one will love that.

@@ItachiUchiha-uz4eq definitely true, I wouldn't suggest sniffing anything related to electronics

*Have you or your loved one developed lung cancer from galvanized material. If so you may be intititled to compensation*

"Would" is the key work here. Past tense because he's dead now...

Galvanized = Zinc plated. It's still steel

Your dad, as a carpenter, will never get into a situation in which the conductivity of the nail would put him at risk of danger or death. Unless he’s slamming spikes into the 240 for the breaker box, in which your dad is stupid or suicidal.

I think a respirator would save you from diseases all together vs a trade off haha
