Electrical Arcs at 1,750,000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys with ElectroBOOM

Gav and Dan team up with Mehdi from @ElectroBOOM to film electrical arcs by cranking this camera to the fastest speed it can possibly go. 1,750,000 frames per second.

There is actually a very handy image search feature in the phantom software that would have helped us scan the images for significant changes in pixel values and found the arcs much quicker at 1, 750, 000. Just need to connect the phantom via ethernet to a laptop. Guess who forgot their usb to ethernet dongle for their USB-C only laptop?

I don't know if Dan will speak to me after going through so much pain!!😈

[billypatterson]

This is why I love ElectroBOOM. The fact that he knows so much about electricity and is willing to put himself (or Dan) in the line of fire for our entertainment.

Mehdi switching between awkward nerd and evil genius is the perfect portrayal of an engineer‘s emotional range :D
Thank you guys for this collab, it was so fun to watch!

Working with Phantoms and searching for that one segment of spark is no joke. I was lucky to film with Phantoms a few videos back, and it gives me a huge appreciation for what Gav and Dan did for this video. What great footage you guys captured, resonant frequency and all.

It's so cool how nature provides you with a relaxing soundtrack whenever you're in slow mo.

I love Medhi. You can tell immediately how genuine he is and how much he absolutely loves what he does. So much fun to watch him with Gav and Dan

[LyokoisGreat]

I swear Mehdi is on a quest to see how many Youtubers he can trick into getting shocked

[citizensnippz]

it speaks volumes to what you guys are doing, the fact that that obviously brilliant electrical expert is still able to learn things about his own profession by seeing the footage you come up with. great video

[Fsilone]

Medhi: "let me increase the power a little bit..."
Dan: **concerned stare**

[theslowmoguys]

The first Tesla coil experiment played the tune to the pink panther but the movie studio claimed the entire video so I had to cut it out. 😢

[Dad......]

Mehdi's excitement is palpable. Working with this every day and now knowing the secret slow motion world buried underneath must be so exciting.

[K-leeca]

dan is that guy who agrees to do everything no matter how dangerous it is

[TimeBucks]

The arc pathfinding is really cool to watch

[CaymenLeP]

Aww! I like how you can tell the guest gets excited it the middle when he can actually see the AC frequency because he starts rocking back and forth ❤️

[BenzGarner]

This is the greatest collaboration. These two channels have deserved each other for far too long.

[TheWtfanime]

Medhi is a legend of an engineer, he's so knowledgable even when they're talking about the frames in slow motion. It was nice to see him on here, the engineering material he does works so well with the slow motion stuff.

a flash of lightning to feel out the terrain, a moment to calculate the route, a flash to see how far it leads, and so on.

I love when guests are so genuinely curious and into what they're doing as well. Watching all three of them learn and discover at the same time was very neat.

After all these years of filming slo mo Dan probably actually is the world's most photographed man ever
