The SCAM of Wireless ESD Straps - Feat. ElectroBOOM

We put wired and wireless anti-static wrist bands to the test with help from ElectroBOOM. It’s not just about shocking Linus, it’s educational, too!

#LTT #electroboom

[ElectroBOOM]

Eh... maybe I revealed too much joy in shocking Linus on camera! No no, it was the joy for the scientific experiment I was feeling... is what I'm trying to tell myself!! Thanks for taking one... or many... for the team, Linus!

[AcM.]

As a high voltage lineman for over 25 years, electroboom is one of my favorite YouTubers that have ever come about. Seeing him on your channel is so entertaining

[hateWinVista]

Linus having fun with Mehdi is pure gold.
I hope the collab with ElectroBOOM happens more often, even as a special consultant for electrical safety(when dealing with potentially dangerous products) would be awesome.

[Kevin-jbpv]

I love that electroboom COULD have let Linus start touching the Van De Graff generator THEN turn it on so that Linus wouldn't have to get shocked... But didn't.

[Lucifuh]

LTT and ElectroBoom the two channels my teachers would put on when they couldn't be bothered to teach... i had no problems with this, love them both

[eddiekalista]

This is my favorite collab. It’s hilarious watching electro boom fight the urge to mess with Linus even more. Watch his face. He’s full of big brother bully energy

[xm]

We need this Electro-Tips colab to be a regular thing. Especially with you guys working on starting the labs, Mehdi could continue to provide educational, and fun, content that is related to LTT.
I actually discovered electroboom from the last time he was on, and since then he has become one of my favorite channels!

[tofudubu]

1:02 I love how he is just standing there with his wand lmao

Mehdi: Hurt Linus
CC: Help Linus.

[Rxke]

Electroboom's "we learn by pain" delivery was gold

[WHOMEGALULz]

Mehdi's method of teaching electrical engineering concepts through experiments and visual demonstration is so valuable and his willingness to literally demonstrate everything + his humor is just underrated.

[rash]

As an electrician, Electroboom is one of my favorite channels!

[rev]

The sound of childish joy he let out when Linus said "now I want to feel that". I'm dead. I've been watching both of these guys off and on for years and it's so great to see them together.

[xCallMeBamx]

You can never go wrong with an LTT and Electroboom collab

[vernonalbayeros]

Man, Electroboom is my favourite kind of educator, all my favourite uni teachers had the same energy: a bit on the crazy side but extremely keen to explain their stuff.

[seraphina]

Word of warning that Japanese strap there appears to actually be a negative ion bracelet. The powder in these items is typically Thorium Oxide which is mildly radioactive. Most of the decay will be alpha and beta radiation so relatively harmless from outside the body. Continued wear is still not recommended however especially when the dust particles are visible like that, they will easily be dislodged through wear or any form of damage and then there is a risk of inhaling them. You do not want to ingest this stuff as if it gets stuck in your body somewhere, which is almost guaranteed if it enters the lungs, it will result in chronic radiation damage to the surrounding tissue.

[WittyDroog]

It's really great to see Electroboom in this context. His videos are great but even in this more improvised format (which is saying something given his normal content) he's such a natural entertainer and quick wit.

A mind that works like lightning, you may say

[FSAPOJake]

This is such an obvious team-up that it should absolutely be happening more often.

[NagaGaming]

ElectroBOOM and Linus are my favorite collab group. They just have a great connection

[miraclo]

I don't think I've laughed as hard at an LTT video ever before. I love when I love when Medhi and Linus work together.

[Fiztex]

When I was a kid I've learned a hard way what an ESD does against electronics when I killed my first gaming console with it. I lived at the polar circuit, so having -40 degrees outside in winter was a norm and the air indoors during such times was so dry that you always had a charge on you. After that a standard ritual before touching any electronics or anything metallic was to come to a heating radiator and touch it with my warm socks. This way you don't feel pain, just see and hear a zapping lightning discharge. And then it was ok switching on the TV and console to play some Contra.
