He is highly trained and despite the 'antics' is careful about not doing anything that is going to kill him. Great channel.
Noob3rts
I didn't even need to see the source to know where those hairy hands and insanity are from.
intashu
I love how animated he is about showing everyone what not to do in a way that makes it seem like he's not doing it intentionally.
vitaminalgas
I wanna be this guys Egor... Ready to pull the switch and watch him scream in pain
brosefjoeker101
What the hell is going on with the title...
MRCLOUDPISS
Electroboom has good earthing
NonBinaryGenderFluidDoggo
Yes. Very down to earth. I like him.
nichoDriver
I still love "this glove is not good for this purpose"
Mavgurian
That was the part where I thought (at first) "Oh, guess he is trying to protect himself now".
IAmMonkeyGirl
It comes across so matter of fact in the subtitles.
servingmytimeinusersub
Because he actually knows what he is doing
docblock
This dude is, like, my favorite person on Youtube
MistressLyda
"Why don't it hurt? -pokes-" I might have found a new favorite channel!
ChaotikWolfi
That's real science! if you wanna study something, poke it until something happens!

Ahhh.... Yes, schadenfreude, my favorite!

I particularly enjoyed the impromptu discussion on the value of substance over looks between electrical shocks and burns. So unexpected.

i love electroboom

Is this guy on the government’s “do not fly list”?
shimmernshine
Iranian Canadian. His family fled in 1979.
ConvokeMyropolist
shockingly, a very educational youtube channel.

Paul Stanley should probably stick to music and not electricity.

What can go wrong holding the clamps with bare hand and 10 amps, except from the possibility of the current passing trough your heart
ltjektanoporkins
pure genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp97GjuULX8
volcanoduck
Low voltage high amperage will do exactly this without electrocuting anyone
aezydesu
I was taught its amperage that determines the lethality. Is that wrong?
db22
Correct, but amperage is a function of voltage and resistance. Bare metal has very low resistance, so low voltage will still cook it.
perey
I figure it's like asking "is it the mass of the bullet or the velocity that kills you?" To which the answer is "yes".
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
To rephrase that, your friend throwing a gigantic bullet in your face won't kill you, nor neutrinos traveling through you @ speed of light
tzap
The amount of current flowing through your heart is what typically determines the lethality of electric shock. For the current to reach 1/2
tzap
.. your heart, the voltage needs to be high enough to overcome the resistance of your body. 2/2
Leonon
Amps do the damage but volts get them there.
volcanoduck
Basically meat can only be electrocuted if the voltage is high enough. I think OSHA considers that to be 48 volts.
banzerschreck
From the guy himself: https://youtu.be/XDf2nhfxVzg
larsmaehlum
Nope. Voltage makes it easier to jump insulation like air, rubber, or skin. But even 50mA to the heart can kill you regardless of voltage.

They asked if they were wrong.
AmArschdieRaeuber
Ooooh, I'm sorry. Derp
Lonehoof
It's actually faked, but brilliantly so.
Peregrine88
How tf is this faked
Peregrine88
It's just him making videos off himself getting hurt on purpose for youtube
Peregrine88
*of
Lonehoof
While some of them may be real, many are fake. Sparks are added in with after-effects. Don't believe everything you see on the internet...
Peregrine88
Yeah I know but that's not all of it tho

ElectroBoom on YouTube, dude is a riot
Soufange
I found out about him in "no shave november." God bless him, Rob Lowe, Adam and Jamie, and all other scientists who hurt themselves for lulz
XplodingUnicornGlitter
Alright sorry if this is a stupid question but it's bugging me now... Rob Lowe? The actor?
Soufange
... dammit, just woke up. That was supposed to be Mike Rowe. Host of Dirty Jobs and narrator of Deadliest Catch.
Soufange
He has a degree in communications, but the dude is very on the science side. My dad refuses to watch DJ tho knowing he screws up for laughs.
captainjuicy
It seems he's truly a very smart guy; and understands his field well enough to make us laugh without endangering himself (too much.)
WhatsYourStoryHomie

bigdog838
I guess the same thing was said about Steve Irwin... and now he's dead
ToasterDent
Wat. Spoilers, dude!
OptimisticDownvoteLover
He uses the comedic side of him to get views, but ultimately to educate and spread awareness
Iinajoki360
As a physics teacher, I make a heatproof stand for the wires and graphite and place a glass lid on top. Dude has balls
RalinStorm
exactly, guy is awesome.
OptimisticDownvoteLover
He's extremely well educated in his field. Goes into depth during some more educational vids
ilovemyboobs
plus seeing him make the stupid mistakes will teach you what stupid things to not do. lol
Littlefoxesfire17
Too much
Crawmak
His hands must be scarred to shit by now tho.
thevirus84
He is an electric engineer. But everyone can make mistakes. He uses both the comedy and pain to educate which is the point of the channel.
razzmouhi
Controlled chaos. It's like 6 flags. The terror is fun cause you know the actual danger is low. Weeeeee.
Masterofdisgust
his entire reason of his channel is to warn people about the dangers of electricity
professionallazyperson
Never heard of this guy before today, but as a newbie electrical engineering technician this shit is hilarious and now I'm subscribed.
Isorikk
Yea I've followed him for years, he's actually really knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's doing. He just knows the pain gets views
Overpots
I always thought he has a kink for being shocked tbh lol
GrndCNTRL
I'm pretty sure he has a degree in electrical engineering. My professor shows us his videos at the start of DC Electrical
ShirouBlue
No pain no gain
RepostFromLastWeek
There's at least one video ( https://youtu.be/lT3vGaOLWqE ) where he seriously fucked up and was visibly distraught over /1
RepostFromLastWeek
it and it didn't seem like an intentional goof. /2
depressedByte
Oh yeah, that was not intentional. Shared the living sh.t out of me.
XanCrews
Is this the same guy that makes his own "electric guitar"?
WholesomePyromaniac
This was actually a video about grounding and electricity safety. Search the whole video on YouTube.
BigBlueBurd
Yes. He's got way, way more than this.
banzerschreck
Afaik the only time he's been in real danger was the video where his homemade tesla coil fell on him. If he caught it w/ 2 hands he'd be ded
Xedi22
I had the wires from my Jacobs ladder on a 12kv tfmr fall across my shoulders when the arc stopped and the wires melted. I was standing...
Xedi22
...on my chair one moment, and on my back on the floor across the room the next. I was a fun 12 year old.... Even once it worked, it was...
Xedi22
...fully exposed. Also built a forced air natural gas furnace out of coffee cans and cardboard the next year to try to melt salt... lived!
wildatheart499
The fact he wasn't wearing glasses worries me though.
jojo1227
Probably has his safety squints on

wildatheart499
It's possible for sparks to jump. Better safe then sorry it's doesn't take much to seriously damage your eyes
barf1189
unibrow protects all no glasses needed
Mavgurian
During those more explosive experiments we do not see if he wears glasses or not.
Runner55
Oh he is smart alright, if he didn't know what he was doing he'd be dead. Anyways, look him up playing an electric guitar, lol

Nice riffs, eh?
theshinobi23
Without endangering himself? His fingers touch those live clips, and 10 amps goes across his chest. Should hook it up, then turn it on.
cptwott
You can get 10 Amps through the pencil lead (low resistance) and just a few µA through the body. Depends on the voltage.
Hekatombe
The maximum voltage of the power supply was 30V DC. Max current though a 1Mohm body: 30µA. Hardly deadly.
Zan11
That's not how electricity works.
IAmGermanPleaseInsertBeer
Not true. ~35mA through your chest would be fatal but here the voltage is too low. It gets very hot though once the conductor is in.
SciencePetsComputers
He is using what is called a variable power supply, they work on whats called a constant-current constant-voltage basis. the knobs (1/2)
SciencePetsComputers
set a max current and max voltage limit. if he has the max voltage limit set to a safe value then it won't hurt him. he knows whats up.
captainjuicy
Absolutely, but then we wouldn't get these funny clips. Path of least resistance. Graphite and copper conducts a lot better than we do.
theshinobi23
True once it's connected. I'm talking more of how he handles the live probes to get it hooked up.
Zuikkis
Come on.. He is using low DC voltage, 12V probably. There is no way to get a shock.. You wouldn't feel anything when touching the probes.
GreeksOnlyTitan
but, the voltage will still enter the body, but dry skin, and crossing your entire chest will reduce the amps because of the amount of Ohms
domestomp
a negligible amount will pass through him if he is using graphite/graphene aka the most conductive shit ever
Jfro80
He's doing that entirely on purpose for entertainment value, and knows enough to not hurt himself seriously.
theshinobi23
Not doubting that he knows his stuff and is just being an entertainer. But one small slip is all it takes.
Twiggeh
theshinobi23
Pretty much. I mean, knife jugglers know what they're doing, but it doesn't make what they do any less dangerous if they slip.
