Important electrical safety video......

I havent laughed so hard in a while.

Have only done a few of mistakes shown here.

If this doesn't get the younger generation into electronics nothing will.

Good video.  All I remember doing is burning the tip off a screwdriver on 110AC.  

I have "laugh face."

Hilarious thanks for posting

HAHA The TCA needs to give this clown a booth at York!

Todd your right !!

Thanks for the laughing,,,,,

As an old Hungarian friend of mine used to say, " I laughing!"

I tell ya, this guy really delivers the message, although that car battery scene is scary - that's a potential boom-boom for sure.

Stay safe, my friends. Glad you enjoyed it.

Gotta wonder if this guy was for real or knew what he was doing just for "kicks?  Either way, got a laugh and could relate to it over my career where I got an unexpected surprise.....

I saw this guy plug a guitar into a AC outlet.

I got an interesting demo of electrical safety last night!  A dead tree branch fell on the 11KV lines on the road next to my house.  I first noticed extended lightning that lit the outside as bright as day with a flickering beat!  After a few seconds, the power went out and it went away.  That repeated for four or five times, I wish I had thought to take a video.  When I was looking out the window for the succeeding events, it was quite a light show!  The ball of fire seemed to travel up and down about a 50 foot stretch of the power lines for four or five seconds, then the lights would go out and of course everything was black.  After twenty-thirty seconds, the whole event repeated a few more times.  On later examination, the branch was pulling the three lines close together to create the arc, and then it would apparently travel up the grade like a Jacob's Ladder effect.

Of course, then the power company breakers decided there was really a problem and the power was totally out.  On the good side, it only took them less than two hours to respond and remove the tree limb to restore power.  I think there's a bit of energy in those 11KV lines!

You should see the damage 34k does to an enclosed concrete vault when a fault occurs.  It is unbelievable.  I am glad I wasn't near the vault when that happened.

I've seen pictures of other similar incidents, but last night was as close to a fault like that that I've been.  I was pretty amazing how much light it generated, the whole area was light up like a sunny day!  Since no damage done, it was just an interesting episode.

Reminds me of a video where an ISIS dude loads a mortar in the tube but it did not fire, until he looked inside of the tube to see what happened. you guessed it.

Looks like something I could do

I could certainly do it, but I choose not to!
