Making a Real-life Nether Portal

In this video, I show you how I made a circular Jacob's Ladder using a magnet and high voltage

4:22 I like it when he called it "ender portal".
He sounded like an uncle who doesn't know anything about minecraft but still tries to be friendly to his little nephew and I absolutely liked it.

I haven't seen a more consistently interesting YouTuber, I have been watching you since 7-8th grade and I've finished high school and you still make so many interesting things everytime since so long, it's just amazing. I wanna thank you for explaining so many science concepts practically and entertaining us. You're one of the best person on YouTube.

You should try putting the wire in a metal funnel, see if the jacobs ladder combines with the magnet into a spiral motion

OMG thanks! 45 years ago I sold Jacob's Ladder plans via Popular Electronics classified ads. My last neon sign transformer has been waiting for an exciting project. This is it!

Experimenters should know that modern neon sign transformers have anti-arcing built in, so you need an older model that will arc to build a Jacob's Ladder or Nether Portal. This is easy (and dangerous!) to test, just plug the transformer in and see if it creates a continuous arc.

Question: How strong does the magnet need to be?

Give it 50 years in this sort of video. This channel might actually be used in history class. Teaching us about a history of a future technology that we don’t even have yet

5:26 Same in Minecraft, if you jump through a nether portal, you have a high chance of getting 3rd degree burns.

The only man who can put water in glowstone and make it actually work

For me it looks more like a toppled Nether portal, the end portal (at least in Minecraft) is black with floating lightgrey dots in it.

4:22 please dont tell me he just said "ender" portal on the same video he got a sponsor from gammarly

It's 2 am in North Queensland, Australia. And I'm winding down from work, to sleep.. and hallelujah... my fav. Content comes across the ocean at the speed of internet light. Mad.. cheers Mate. Love yr work.. respect.

Only The Action Lab can and will make an end portal in real life

This is also a lot like those "plasma balls" and even the "plasma lights" that you see in some of the novelty stores sometimes, (of which I have a few different colors of, which are very cool to watch), but these here that you built are totally awesome!

5:33 so if you try to go through this irl nether portal, you might end up in hell, which is literally what the nether is

[MNGN]

The Action Lab: "Haha i built a nether portal now i will get more views."
His bed at night: *You can't sleep now, there are monsters nearby*

[magnusandersen]

Probably the coolest experiment I have seen in a long while. Also very unexpected outcome (for me)

[evilsharkey]

My dad built a Jacob’s ladder where one electrode was a straight rod, and the other spiraled around it. Getting that dang thing to spiral all the way to the top was a pain in the keister. The outer spiral had an annoying habit of getting bent to one side.

I love your videos! Keep up the great content!

[sporeman]

I know all the title means is "making ring with a translucent purply plasma in the middle" but I find the thought of you just casually opening a portal to a hell-like dimension amusing.

Add a sheet of black granite, and a sheet of quartz crystals. Heat the area with lasers to stabilize humidity.

One way to test the effect of gravity (hot air rises) on Jacob's ladder is to lay it horizontally. I would expect the arc to form at the point of least resistance (the base of the ladder) and stay there instead of moving up. You can also lay the circular electrode vertically and I would expect the arc to form between the center (wire) and the upper edge of the ring, and stay there.
