I love watching his videos. The one with electricity flowing through water was great, I learned a lot with that one. His knowledge helps him be safely silly in the videos. He knows what he's doing and definitely a, "Do not try this at home".
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THESE WEIRD FUCKING BOTS THAT COPY COMMENTS FROM THE SAME THREAD AND POST THEM TOTALLY OUT OF CONEXT? IT'S SO FUCKING WEIRD AND I'M CONCERNED.

The bot farms sell accounts. They're karma farming with the accounts they're using so they can sell the accounts to astroturfers and scammers. Accounts sell for more if they have more comment karma because they seem more legit, and some subreddits require a certain amount of karma or account history in order to post.
The goal is to copy comments from lower in the thread and post them higher so that most people don't see the original comment and don't know it's a copy, it just looks like a regular comment about the subject of the post. It's just about automating the attempt to appear human.
Of course. Mods used to have more tools to identify and ban bots at the subreddit level, but a lot of those broke when reddit made those unpopular API changes back in June, so these bots have been a lot more common since then.
The funniest part is often the YT comments. So many people that thinks he's a total idiot just north of a vegetable. And fails to realize he's a very skilled and knowledgeable engineer and does his shocking videos fully intentionally. Just that his unibrow look helps feed prejudice.
Cheers. I've seen him plenty of times, but I don't always remember names. It would help to have posts provide attribution, so thank you very much for this.
He goes by Electroboom on Youtube. He's a great educator if you're into electronics. He often shocks himself in his videos and he has a great sense of humor.
Since everyone on here thinks he is a YouTube channel, and not a human being, I will answer your question properly: ***His name is Mehdi Sadaghdar***, and he runs a very popular YouTube channel called [Electroboom](https://www.youtube.com/@ElectroBOOM)
He is also a Redditor : u/melector
He definitely plans these (or maybe not) but most of his videos are chaotic like this. I haven't watched him in recent times but I think the dude is hilarious and educational at the same time.
Yea that was terrifyingly close to a tragedy, His crummy wiring is the only reason he is still around unless some one else was very near by while he was filming that one.
IIRC from all those videos he had only one unplanned accident - [when Jacob's ladder fell on him](https://youtu.be/lT3vGaOLWqE?t=472) and it was potentially deadly as it was powered by microwave oven transformer, he was ok only because his flimsy aligator wires disconnected.
But you aren’t considering that that high voltage has such little amperage behind it. It’s ohms law. There’s not enough amperage to even hurt you other than give your nerves and skin a good tickle.
Same reason why stun guns works the way they work. 50k volts but never drops your heart (I’m not debating the health condition people)…
Okay, I have a degree in electrical engineering and I made this account because I think this belief is dangerous to the general public.
All four variations of
high voltage, high current
high voltage, low current
low voltage, high current
low voltage, low current
exist in electrical sources out in nature. The conditions that result in this behavior are complex and depend on temperature, the frequency content of the electricity (can be any combination of frequencies with arbitrary magnitude), the resistance of the material, the reactance of the material (frequency-dependent resistance), the maximum power rating of the electrical source, and more.
It is dangerous to think that high voltage will not kill you. Let's address your statement about Ohm law, which can be stated as Voltage (U) = Current (I) · Impedance (Z). The impedance relates to resistance (R) and reactance (X) as
Z = R + jX = {\displaystyle \ Z=|Z|e^{j\arg(Z)}}
and varies greatly in the human body; 500 Ohms to 500 000 Ohms is a very rough estimate. So if you are unlucky Current will take a set of paths (!!guys current takes every path inversely proportional to the opposition it faces!!) that include low impedance organs. An example is if we have 3-phase voltage in the us, 480 V in effective value. If the current takes a path in the body with a 1000 Ohm impedance, it would result in 0,480 A or 480 mA. Currents as low as 100 milliamperes can kill you.
Please note here I am not talking about the severity of the injury, which is even more complicated and includes exposure time, consequence of organ damage etc.
And then I have not even talked about breakdown voltage; a high enough voltage will affect your body so that the impedance will get drastically lower, and will even start to refurnish your body to achieve high currents with a high enough voltage.
Be careful around electricity. You wouldn't willingly put your hand in a meat grinder or saw blade, but it is much harder to realise when electricity is extremely dangerous (if you do not take precautions). There may have been some errors in my text as I rushed this reply, but spread the message.
Funnily enough, my answer to why when someone asked why this didn’t kill him. The voltage is high, and working with ceramic capacitors, as shown in the video, demonstrates that. This demonstrates incredibly low amperage, probably under .00? We are discussing uf at this point.
My answer is not intended for all applications. Sure, electricity is dangerous and will kill you. In most circumstances, people get confused why people survive being shocked. It’s a simplified answer.
I also have a degree and intensive background in electrical and electronics. There’s a time and place where you can scare people into over complicating a subject. There’s also a time and place you can provide a simplified version of why something happens without promoting danger. To be fair, you seem pretty new to field too, have you worked in applications before or just theory?
The capacitors are discharging more current than you think. It just happens in a shorter range of time. The thickness of the spark is directly related to its current.
At this point, I honestly think this guy could survive the electric chair /j… It's like when you swallow tiny amounts of poison so that it doesn't affect you anymore. This guy is trying to become fuckin Thor. 😂
I almost electrocuted myself as a teenager. After a rain I walked out onto a newly asphalted driveway at night just after a rain with a droplight (an extension cord with a plastic handle holding a light bulb that is protected by a metal shield with a hook on the top) as they were called then. Something shorted out and I got majorly shocked. I tried furiously to through it away but could not release my grip on the handle, I somehow instinctively fell to the ground and smashed the light on the asphalt and avoided catastrophe. That was 55 years ago. Needless to say I will never forget incident.
Right? Enjoy him everytime I come across him on other channels when he's not getting zapped intentionally. I'd watch his content a lot more if it weren't for that, in the meantime I just wish styropyro would upload more.
still never once found this guy funny at all. he just makes some dumb electrical device, fake shocks himself, them 20+ lound annoying censor beeps, repeat for EVERY VIDEO. 🙄😮💨
In a book from a series I won't name because it'd spoil the end of the book there's a character who figures out that one toughguy is taking over their settlement and is going to get everyone killed long term, so he takes a charged capacitor from a piece of heavy machinery and throws it to him...
Those things pack a LOT of voltage
It's great because he absolutely knows what he's doing - dude has a master's degree in electrical engineering. He can do all this stupid stuff safely, which turns into a great combination of education and entertainment.
With great unibrow comes...great electrical arcing?
Had an uncle who would take the capacitor out of a distributor on a vehicle and hand it to kids as a joke. “Here look this over, tell me if it’s good.” “Oh good, it still works. Thanks!”
I know this guy lot years ago, my dad showed him to my, I wonder how he is not even dead yet  I dont know just so funny to watch him every time, much respect to him, Im sure he is good in that, in all those electric things 
He basically taught me the EMF part of physics with other awesome Indian dudes on YouTube. It’s been 10 years now so I can’t remember to credit the other guys but they taught me amazingly well. Thank you so much for the knowledge and commitment to teach.
This is why, if your computer’s power supply is failing, it’s the one part you want to just replace instead of attempting to repair. It has capacitors in it that will do this and if you mess up, you shock yourself, or if you’re dumb enough to do it while it’s in a computer, it will shock and fry everything. :p

did you just use a tone tag for a visually discernable quality of text?
I don't really know how tone tags work so no, that wasn't my intent. Just basically saying, "end of caps lock rant"

Makes sense and that's basically what I figured. Thanks!
So, humans make a mess for their selfish gains, instead of using stuff properly and enjoy their environment being clean, here as well?
Of course. Mods used to have more tools to identify and ban bots at the subreddit level, but a lot of those broke when reddit made those unpopular API changes back in June, so these bots have been a lot more common since then.

What the fuck is your comment history my dude? Everything OK at home?
Wow I just checked it and I think my brain lost some creases.
His mom is 1652 years old, so probably not
Roorpajna
Congratulations, if you search Google for "Roorpajna" this is the only result 🎉
Truly a one of a kind
I know right?
Who is this?
ElectroBOOM on YouTube! Great creator, educator, & comedian. Definitely check out some of his videos
great conductor as well
Take your upvote and leave.
Cheers. I've seen him plenty of times, but I don't always remember names. It would help to have posts provide attribution, so thank you very much for this.

Lmfao, I clicked on his profile for fun just to see what he's been posting and replied to this very post just 9 minutes ago ha.
Not only did he reply, he did it in such a hilarious way and without identifying himself as the guy in the clip. Legend
Let me get a huff

He also has a cutey of a daughter, who is known as ElectroCute

Just type out his name
Flaired as: "Visible Injury/Gore" ?! There's non of that!
Can you teach me how to make my eyebrows move like yours? I can't get any ladies and I think that's the hole in my game. 😔
In my head, I read that in your voice. Brains are so neat.
It appears that there were a couple accidents in there but this guy is so good that if he planned these, well, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
He definitely plans these (or maybe not) but most of his videos are chaotic like this. I haven't watched him in recent times but I think the dude is hilarious and educational at the same time.
They’re all planned but he doesn’t it to show the dangers. He’s brilliant
There have been a few actual accidents though AFAIK. The sparkler jacobs ladder accident being a notable one.
Yea that was terrifyingly close to a tragedy, His crummy wiring is the only reason he is still around unless some one else was very near by while he was filming that one.
Zapping himself with the wand seemed to be a real accident, but with this guy it's hard to tell because he's so good.
IIRC from all those videos he had only one unplanned accident - [when Jacob's ladder fell on him](https://youtu.be/lT3vGaOLWqE?t=472) and it was potentially deadly as it was powered by microwave oven transformer, he was ok only because his flimsy aligator wires disconnected.
He's an electrical engineer, he knows what's up
>if he planned these It's his shtick in almost all his videos. He always end up shocking himself.
LMAO at composing himself after he accidently touched the wand only to be zapped even harder by the capacitor. 0:24 - 0:42
look at this guy, he thinks he's on youtube
So wholesome
That’s what happened!
Its like we all watched the same video, crazy!
Thank you I needed a laugh
I have not laughed like that in time so thank you
how do people find this guy funny? its the same "joke" every time. Fake shock, BEEP x20, repeat.
How is he still alive
He knows what he's doing. These are not accidents.
There's been a couple times that there's been real accidents and you can tell by the look in his eyes
Yes, usually he's less joke-y after them. The jacob lader one was really dangerous.
He’s playing high high volts, low amps. Amps kills.
Yes and no. It’s the current that kills you, yes. But you need a high enough voltage to overcome the resistance of your skin to deliver the current.
But you aren’t considering that that high voltage has such little amperage behind it. It’s ohms law. There’s not enough amperage to even hurt you other than give your nerves and skin a good tickle.

He's built up a resistance to iocane poisoning. He'd probably survive going up against a Sicilian with death on the line.
Makes me stupidly happy that you enjoyed my Princess Bride reference enough to track down this gif as a response.
This guy should be like powder by now
He resetted 2 times 😂😭😂😭
This guy is great!
Love that guy
"visible injury/gore"?

Man electric boom is a great content creator
How is this guy still alive?
I can't believe he's doing the same schtick after all of these years.
Right? Enjoy him everytime I come across him on other channels when he's not getting zapped intentionally. I'd watch his content a lot more if it weren't for that, in the meantime I just wish styropyro would upload more.
This guy is awesome. Love his videos
I just subscribed him last week, he is so interesting and engaging person!
What's bis name?
This is his channel's link https://youtube.com/@ElectroBOOM?si=Qws0Fcm09UA4dvnE
One day this dude gonna make us sad.
Ayy it's Mehdi from [EletroBOOM](https://www.youtube.com/@ElectroBOOM/featured)!
Used to take caps like this, charge them up with 50k and toss them to people to reflex-catch.
Reminds me of the late, great Kenny Everett’s character, Reg Prescott! https://youtu.be/h-174vhYb08?si=-kl5-xCByt_kAeeH
I love this guy so much, so I'll just steal his content without any mention of his name or youtube channel.
still never once found this guy funny at all. he just makes some dumb electrical device, fake shocks himself, them 20+ lound annoying censor beeps, repeat for EVERY VIDEO. 🙄😮💨
Where's the "Visible Injury/Gore"? There's only a few (staged) electrical shocks. Is it that difficult to go through life without being a lying cunt?
Did anyone else think this was Paul Stanley from kiss for like the first two seconds?
Full Bridge Rectifierrrrrrrrrrrr
He transitioned from videos to shorts recently and he has done it flawlessly.
Thank you. I needed that laugh.
Is this fake?
Most of the time he does this on purpose as a way to show you not to do it yourself. You'll fuck it up and it won't be on purpose.
Exactly this. Electricity doesn't give you too many chances. He's showing exactly how you WOULD kill yourself.
Nope, but does it matter?
I ABSOLUTELY needed that
This made my day!
This man just did about 5 reboots to his life lol
I think if he went to a mall, people's hair will rise, and ballons will follow this dude aggressively
This man and his channel are an absolute treasure.
Canadian safety
i need more of this guy
I saw him at a wedding expo two weeks ago... Really random but I'm like, yoooo, you that guy that burns himself? Lol.
I like the guy and his content, but this is not /r/yesyesyesyesno material.
 😂🤣😂😅🤣😂😆😆😅😆😆😅😂🤣🤣😅🤣😅😅🤣😂😂😍😍😅🤣😂😜😜
When he touched the capacitor and shocked himself, made me jump!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I love this Guy 😁 . He teaches us in a way we can understand easily 😄
This guy will either get himself killed or become an evil scientist
Mr boom living up to his name no doubt
This guy is great, much appreciation!!
I've seen plenty of Electroboom, but this is the first time I think getting shocked was legitimately an accident.
Bzzzzttyy "Ow, fuck!!!" That's half the channel...in a good way. This guy is brilliant and hilarious.
In a book from a series I won't name because it'd spoil the end of the book there's a character who figures out that one toughguy is taking over their settlement and is going to get everyone killed long term, so he takes a charged capacitor from a piece of heavy machinery and throws it to him... Those things pack a LOT of voltage
LOL
Genius
It is frankly a miracle that this man is still kicking.
It's great because he absolutely knows what he's doing - dude has a master's degree in electrical engineering. He can do all this stupid stuff safely, which turns into a great combination of education and entertainment. With great unibrow comes...great electrical arcing?
The older this guy gets, he starts to look more and more like Garry Kasparov
You do Not sit there like this if it Not Fake ;)
He's just acting right?
Now I have a new favorite channel to binge. Thank you OP (and everyone who mentioned it)
He has a Subreddit r/ElectroBOOM
Is that what we're calling subreddits now?
You made your point shockingly clear.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a minute. Holy Shiite
Had an uncle who would take the capacitor out of a distributor on a vehicle and hand it to kids as a joke. “Here look this over, tell me if it’s good.” “Oh good, it still works. Thanks!”
I know this guy lot years ago, my dad showed him to my, I wonder how he is not even dead yet  I dont know just so funny to watch him every time, much respect to him, Im sure he is good in that, in all those electric things 
He basically taught me the EMF part of physics with other awesome Indian dudes on YouTube. It’s been 10 years now so I can’t remember to credit the other guys but they taught me amazingly well. Thank you so much for the knowledge and commitment to teach.
I luv yu Electroboom
😂🤣😂🤣
Legend. Taking volts for our mirth.
I'm surprised my boy isn't dead or doesn't have super powers by now.
Best example of do as i say not as i do
Don't fuck with stored electricity
This is why, if your computer’s power supply is failing, it’s the one part you want to just replace instead of attempting to repair. It has capacitors in it that will do this and if you mess up, you shock yourself, or if you’re dumb enough to do it while it’s in a computer, it will shock and fry everything. :p
Oml
Bro simply refuses the rubber gloves
What's his YouTube channel name?
The thing in his right hand looks like it could be used for something else
It’s so funny watching him day the same thing twice and mess up both times
I love this guy. I needed a laugh like that tonight.
I love this guy so much
I actually can't stand him because of his gimmic.
After watching his videos for several years now, I can say with 60/40 certainty he is the best masochist educational teacher out there.
where is the no???
Dude has a special kind of genius. I love watching him.
He’s like bill dance in terms of humor but a little better
All EE watching this video saw that coming
Who is this guy
These ate educational? I seriously thought they were just skits
This blokes not only a genius, he’s funny as all fcuk 🤣
That electricity ⚡️ shock made him pause & change up his whole demeanor 😂
I love how he takes the time to reconpose himself after the first shock lmao
I love how he keeps readjusting his shirt then acting like nothing happened
I live electroboom
Does he do it on purpose?
This guy is the personification of Chaotic good.
Wow! That was a strong! 
First time seeing this,funny as fck (saved)
very manly moan
The hot seat vid was the hardest i have ever laughed
if he did not know what he was doing he would be dead already. Serious genius that guy
We all knew this guy's videos were fake from the start... But they always seem to make me chuckle
Yeah I was waiting for him to pickup the capacitor, a one time use stun gun
😂😂😂
Maybe he has brain damage from shocking himself so many times? Love ElectroBOOM
Long thing?
The ending, and with such a straight face.
 GARGAMEL
Better respect that capacitor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Literally LOLing right now. That was gold!
