Make a SUPER HIGH VOLTAGE Capacitor

Need a high voltage capacitor? Then look no further! You could make a Leyden Jar, but why not something with 10 times more capacity and smaller?
It would be pretty awesome if you support ElectroBOOM at Patreon:

Below are my Super Patrons with support to the extreme!

Hey All! Congratulations to the two lucky winners of the Hantek scopes, and thanks everyone for sticking around!

I'm laughing so hard at King of Random Junior 😂

You know a guy has shocked himself alot when he can tell just by looking at a spark how many volts it is.

[ilkeraydogdu]

“Made of material” gets me every time 😂

[theanalogkid]

He is the only dude who can get me interested in electricity. He makes learning fun while also being informative and descriptive.

I can appreciate people making experiment videos, but without actual scientific exploration those videos have little benefit other than generating views. I wish more people would spend the time to understand why a certain experiment yields a particular result (or doesn't). Thank you Mehdi for doing that.

Notice how the clock changes time between scenes. I can't even imagine how much time and effort he has put into this video. I think it was like half past eleven in the beginning of the video and at the end it was like half past four in the evening. Also, it could have been counted days between the clips (realized when looked at the time on the image of the scope). Anyways, good video Mehdi! Keep up your good work. :)

Electroboom. The channel that literally roasts every 'science' youtube channel.

[splatglitcher]

5:33 You have officially polished the ball :)

"This guy did a shockingly bad job at shocking himself, let me show how to do it properly" - Mehdi

[ChillFrost]

When Mehdi says some youtuber (that I did follow) isn't that good, i listen to him.

[manasdas]

more strokes more discharge from balls. OK. got it.

[gammaray]

3:41 why did that make me laugh so hard 😂

[ELECTRONOOBS]

Very informative. Could you make one on supercapacitors and show what chemical material should we use? Maybe with graphene? Thank you very much. Very nice videos as always.

[boxingrelax]

this guy give me better knowledge than my college lecturer

[venuswolfie]

I swear Medhi's body is becoming living electricity...

[Electroblud]

If you fold the edges of the aluminium foil about 5mm in, that will increase the radius on the edges and reduce partial discharges. Meaning the charges will have a harder time flying away.
I learned this visiting a factory for high voltage bushings. ^^

[UNZO_OFFICIAL]

Call Cody and replace salt water with mercury

[eduardososa]

1:04, 11:03 Very low price
4:55, 6:40 ouch
5:16 10 strokes, 5:26 20 strokes, 5:33 50 strokes, 5:42 100 strokes.
7:48 If I opEN!! 😂

[paperwitch]

Only Mehdi can make casually uttering the phrase "Maybe I should make one of those" an ominous believable cliffhanger.
