Making 'MILLIONS' of AMPS of Current

You can make a ton of current modifying a transformer, but with little voltage, it means little!

You are probably the only person who can teach me something complicated while being funny

[FNTMREDEMPTION]

The fact that he knows how to hurt himself without killing himself proves how smart he really is

Hi mehdi sir! I'm an aspiring electrical engineer from India... currently preparing for entrance. 90% of my knowledge in electrical physics has come from your videos. You are the one who turned me from a hobby-less person to a person who now has a goal in life. Just wanted to say thanks.

[theCodyReeder]

At about 8:20 you had the cable going through the transformer and It looks like you could easily pass it through at least one more transformer. So I’m wonder what would happen if you did? Would the voltage double like having a second turn? If so the draw for each primary would be reduced right? Maybe you could chain a bunch of them to get to the million amps.

Dude I remember being obsessed with this channel when I was like 14. I'm 23 now and am very happy to still see that you're still at it!

[dimitary]

Hey, Mehdi, you should cover "electromagnetic field welding" EMW. They use a high power magnetic field to slap metals together so fast they weld. There's very little coverage of it. But it's cool enough to share!

[jjeairborne]

After 10 years I am glad you are still alive and making videos. Honestly I have learned a lot from you, I am a mechatronics engineer and I love electronics and electricity but you have tried things that I would have loved to try back in school.

[Ben]

I love that you are doing the derivations on the whiteboard while you are talking - extremely helpful!

[Dasedandconfused]

He's like the Mr. Bean of electricity. Especially when melting the spoon 🤣

[TheEngieTF]

Mehdi: Today, I will do something that will not shock you! Or me

Also Mehdi: 10:27

[PokemonZeta]

2:47 "How does it work without the top on?"

*CHAOS ENSUES*

*Joker laugh*

😂😂😂😂😂

11:00 just look at his face/ its so full of joy/ i cant help but admire. hope anyone can love theirs work so much

[Artak]

11:50 the lockpicking lawyer is definitely somewhere sensing a disturbance in the force.

[BigDaddy]

I started watching your videos as someone who wasn't even interested in physics. Now I return as electrical engineer. Shocking. Thank you for inspiring my curiosity in the field!

[tcymfon]

From my heart, no one of the greatest professors of the world's most famous universities has been able to explain the most difficult topics of electronics and even mechanic engineering so easily and fluently like you. As an associate professor of medicine, I am deeply interested in your videos and I wish to be able to teach medicine as impressive as you.

good luck.

[OleJanssen]

When my physics teacher showed us this experiment, he actually used multiple smaller wires in parallel as his secondary, which apparently made building this a whole lot easier.

[screwball]

I think the most impressive part of this video is that Medi still had a penny kicking around

[TheRiddler]

Thanks Medhi for inspiring me to go to Electrical School and become an apprentice. I feel your pain trying to bend 3/0 (three-ought) wire. Now that I have started school, I am actually starting to understand the equations you lay out in your videos. Thanks for being an inspiration to me, and for many people in the comments, stay safe and keep up the awesome work. <3

Coming from a Dank Pods video to an ElectroBOOM one, I did not expect to hear the same tune in both.

[joshuasaji]

10:23 Waiting for DankPods HD600s to show up 😂
