How to Wiretap Phone Line with DIY Circuit

Had to reupload! see comments. I like to record my phone calls directly on camera… for research purposes… so I designed some circuit to wiretap the land line directly to my camera audio input.

It would be pretty awesome if you support ElectroBOOM at Patreon:

Jeez! Had to reupload the video. Some smart people were decoding my cellphone number from caller ID noise in the video!

I always love the free-floating circuits without a breadboard or PCB, adds an extra level of chaos.

Love how he didn’t want any electrical shenanigans to happen with his camera so he used a lamp to add some excitement instead😂😂

I’m so glad I found this channel again.

"Why is it that i die a little everytime you call"😂😂😂

Im already a huge fan of the 'Full Bridge Rectifier'

[aregmelkumyan]

5:31 that was the calmest "full bridge rectifier" i've ever heard from you.

Circuit isn't warm...Everything looks goo-
*LAMP ATTACK*

Theory: When Mehdi gets shocked quite hard, he actually dies and gets replaced by one of his personalities, there is an infinite amount of Mehdi.
Mehdi is love.
Mehdi is life.

One of his personalites must've threw that lamp.

[markzaikov]

I was waiting for something to blow up and then the f*cking lamp happened.

[thrashmobin]

7:00 I'm pretty sure everyone was waiting for something and the lamp happened

[smartz]

7:39 sounds like something you would here in a dank meme

*Fun fact:* The term for the polarity of the phone line, "tip" and "ring", refers to the connectors on the switchboards operators used back before tone based switching. It doesn't mean any type of signaling, but rather it refers to the shape of the connector which is reminiscent of a quarter-inch mono channel audio jack. So it literary means the "tip" (+ side) of the audio jack and the "ring" or "sleeve" (- side) below the tip of the audio jack.

i love the seamless blending of actual good advice with the comedy. this man is a genius.

ElektroBOOM:"change the audio input to the phone line and die..."
Me:"you do that in every video..."

[CrucialMuzic]

LOL that slap to the face scared me [0:35], but had me in tears
Jesus that lamp drop around 7:03 had me jump out of my chair.
I swear he's out to get me

[demagab]

7:43 I remember that! It was like the noise of a dial-up modem. How interesting analog communications filled with digital stuff are!

[Steets]

When the electricity doesn't get him, his light fixtures do.
