Making a Pranker-BOOMer Photo-Sensor

You can use this circuit to prank, or you could use it as intruder alarm, light switch based on room light, or whatever else! It is a useful circuit. Just be careful around high voltage!

Below are my Super Patrons with support to the extreme!

I'm sure there are healthier ways to use the sensor circuit! Or even better other circuits suitable to blow capacitors!

[justdario]

I like how at the beginning he's essentially explaining how he'll create a homemade claymore.

Mehdi: **gets a well thought out video idea**

His capacitors: **sweats profusely**

0:36 I just love how he looks at it with such anger that it can't take it and just blows up.

[VinayVarsani]

8:40 it's like a comedy sketch where the audience all know what's about to happen but it's still funny everytime

[weirdcreatures]

I am grateful that you interestingly showed the working of LDR. I used your circuit to design a magnetic particle accelerator model, and even got the first prize in a state level physics model competition. Thanks a lot.

"When you want to blow up, it doesn't blow up. When you don't want it to blow up, it does blow up" Engineering in a nutshell.

[blanana_m]

Yeah you should add a switch so the circuit triggers after you are done with the preparations.
At that point you might as well just make it switch from a radio controller

[PortableFreezer]

Mehdi 100% knows the correct way to begin with. He just is such a great teacher to show what happens when connected wrong.

[halbvoll]

Only a real Pro can be so unprofessional, I love it

[elijahbachrach]

I find it sweet that he “accidentally” sets it off himself. I couldn’t do this to my wife either.

2:38 welcome to electroboom, where efficiency has a higher priority than safety

[matthewrichardson]

I love that Mehdi's wife is so used to his BS that when he says "Someone" destroyed the sofa she knows it was more than likely him!!

[raidzor]

This was one of the easier to understand projects you've done, so beginners like me particularly enjoyed it. Good stuff.

[Stan-]

This guy is the only science teacher that any student needs, I've learned more from him than any of my science teachers

[shawnlindow]

This guy is great. Normally when I get home from work after dealing with people all day I have a bad attitude and my wife don’t like it. Now when I get home I watch this guy for 10 minutes on my phone in the driveway and always walk in the house with a smile. Thank you from me and definitely a BIG thank you from my wife.

Always knew if I followed ElectroBOOM long enough, we'd be taught how to make IEDs.
Cheers Mehdi! Now we can all resist the forces of inevitable future invasions, with terrifying tiny explosions!

[simonfitch]

One of your best yet. How I laughed at your prank backfiring, your fall into the sofa, and you forgetting a freewheeling diode across the relay coil! Hilarious, classic ElectroBoom.

[skinwalker]

The best part of this is that Mehdi *is* an electrician ... with an amazing sense of humour. :D

[christianudorie]

He's basically creating his own circuits through trial and errors .. . Always has been fun to watch electroboom.. 5years and counting
