17:14, Giveaway Time!
Yay! 5 million. Totally deserved.
hi
You're not too far from a million yourself
lol its you
Sad electroboom don't pump good content anymore. I think he doesn't love to do interesting vids at the moment. I stopped contributing to patreon. Bigclive this time.
No, no; no. YOU get back to making videos, I'm getting bored again over here good sir!
When you dropped that bulb, we all felt the tears of a thousand suns. Congrats on the 5,000,000 subs, and enjoying yet another RF burn!
Aren't these lamps filled with like mercury vapors?
14:48 When you knock a fragile item over.
@@ProtoV33MK1 Ok, I looked it up and supposedly it's ~4mg of mercury per a CFL lamp. (Let's assume it's all vaporized.) US environmental limit for concentration in air (by OSHA - work safety and stuff) is .1mg/m³ This would mean it needs to spread into 40 cubic meters (e.g. a 4m×5m×2m room) to not exceed these limits So yeah… Most likely not dangerous. Still better to ventilate the room and try to not inhale too much when it's still concentrated, but it's not gonna harm you from happening once
You guys should try out the new Tesla coil design by Eric Dollard!!!!!! No more primary winding!!!!!
Waiting for you to recreate the wand. A nicer version though, as always :))
5:30."then we sand it until it's as smooth as your brains" Lmfao, didn't expect to get roasted like that
He did say, “Sorry …”!
@@dougthomson5544 Apologies
Can we just appreciate his drawing skills the way he was explaining us the construction of the magic wand on the software 😂
5:10 Why did that catch me🤣🤣
i just wanna know where is his building Tesla coil video i need it for electrician project
the floating head drawing on the whiteboard is an excellent idea, please keep doing that!
Yeah 🤣
@Pinocchio dude no
Yea he should keep doing this
Oh yea i love that bit x,D
and also that can be used for memes
It is good to see a legend not stopping, but evolving even after 10 years, and still keeping the old traditions and humor, you deserve that 5mil.
Pity we don't see you improving your english
@@murderyoutubeworkersandceos Says the guy who can't even be bothered to put a period at the end of his sentence.
@@redakdal and he has the audacity to criticise OTHER people's English
@@redakdal look at that guy's profile photo you commented to.
@@redakdal oh yeah? And u trash were confused whether the comment was finnished, or not?
BTW, 3M Scotch® Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70 has an elecrical insulation rating of 34k volts per mm of thickness.... that should be really useful in a project like that. Either between the two coils, around the screw that was too long, or between the secondaty and a solid ferro core...
he knows. He knows a HELL of a lot more than you do.
@23bobjr well, what a complete ass you are. Since you don't know me, you have no idea how much I know....
@@23bobjr what's wrong with you, dude? Your body of knowledge is inconsequential if it doesn't happen to cross your mind during a brainstorm and engineers collaborate all the time. Good ideas can come from the less knowledgeable and often do if you're not arrogant enough to think you always know better. Do you think he's never incorporated comments feedback and suggestions into his work? You've got a weird vicarious superiority complex and you need to cut it out.
@@23bobjr And David here knows more than you. Please, don't be a jackass.
You sir are legendary, playing with literal electrons and creating arcs at will! So m any concepts are learnt while doing projects, I love it!
I have a new favorite phrase, "Look at that fluffy plasma!". Congrats on reaching 5,000,000. You deserve it!
I love sentences that seem like they shouldn't make sense but do make sense.
14:47 "oh shit, I broke my lamp"
Break 💡

Huge congrats Mehdi! Well deserved! 👏😎 3D Printing for the win! ..water-cooled magic wand.. 👀
First
Ok
yes but can it run crysis core?
Not A bad idea tho, maybe consider using a thick, hollow copper tube as the primary and run water through it.
or run mineral oil through it
Congratz on the 5M subs my dude, you've earned it :) Also I have to you say you're pretty rad ... I haven't heard many people manually making coils with 700 turns with thin wire :D that requires some serious skills and patience.
I just ordered a DIY tesla coil, and I’m so excited. I’ve been learning programming, but I took a detour into electronics when I found electrobooms videos.
same
This green screen - headless whiteboard thingy is amazing! :D Maybe 3D printed stuff wasn't a good idea with high volgate that generates so much heat, melting the filament :/
@Pinocchio dafuc
The right filament would solve that, provided the printer can print said filaments.
If you used PEEK or PEKK it would have a much better thermal and electrical properties, but a wallet hurting price.
Another problem with 3D printed stuff: it's green, which means you won't be able to use it in front of a green screen to put in a magical background.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 thats just the color he used, u can get filament in almost any color.
Congratulations Mehdi on 5 million subs! You really deserve it for sharing electrical/electronics knowledge in a unique and fun way!
O seu canal Electrolab é muito bom, aprendi várias coisas sobre eletrônica e ainda não fiz porque não tive tempo mas logo vou fazer aquele seu autofalante de plasma usando flyback. kzhead.info/sun/mKmGm6-BpYKIq3k/bejne.html será que com 24v o arco elétrico fica mais forte ou pode acabar queimando algo no circuito?
Congrats Mehdi
Congratulations on your amazing achievement. Thank you for everything. Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
Love the voiceover 😂😂😂 thank you Mehdi, never had fun learning something new and complicated
Congrats Mehdi! Like I said before, the best professor ever!
Um dia vai ser vc marlon que vai ganhar os parabéns por ajudar e divertir milhões de alunos, ja estou ansioso por semana que vem!!!

The electricity going over the surface being so clearly captured by the camera is one of the coolest things I've seen this year
that was really beautiful
It's one of the rare instances of science in real life looking the same as it does in movies.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Was thinking the same :D
Check out Kyle Hill's channel. You might like that one too.
Remember Photonicinduction 's channel. kzhead.info/sun/o6WvpMh9q6mGh4E/bejne.html random video pic titled "Mad Science 500 keV"
5:53 ... apologies. XD
Even that I'm building Tesla coils for some time, I learned from this video many new and interesting things. That epoxy stick with small ferrite cores is a pretty cool idea. Your sense of humor always gets me 😃 !!FLUFFY PLASMA!!😁
You can use ferrite dust mixed into epoxy, gives much higher density of ferrite while also decreasing the maximum conductive length from the size of the rods to the size of the ferrite particle. I'd give it an external plain epoxy coat to cover any exposed bits of ferrite from the casting though.
I wrote my Bachelors thesis about such ferrite-epoxy composits for inductive charging, so it should also work very good here.
Congratulations!!! That moment at 2:40 is exemplary of how you think outside the box and are truly innovative! You make these topics so amazing and engaging!!!
I skipped that part and didn't notice it... until I read this
Gotta keep the tradition running.
“It’s *badness* that makes it *great”* Such true words have never been spoken...
I wish this guy was my science teacher back in high school. I joined the navy after highschool and became an sonar technician. I discovered a big interest in how electronics work and in conjunction with ElectroBoom's channel, I've decided I want to go to college for something with electronics. I was thinking electrical engineering but ultimately I want to be able to work on electronics doing troubleshooting. I loved the problem solving aspect as a technician.
Pro-tip that I learned recently: you can thin out the epoxy with acetone and then paint it on to the secondary coil with a brush. It'll be less messy. (learned about that from a video about making voice coils for home-made speakers)
Thanks pal
Like the acetone used for nailpolish?
@@hopeful_krystal yep! Be careful though: there is acetone-free nail polish remover. I think if you buy it at a hardware store, you'll get it for less per unit volume, though.
did you expect us to watch this for high quality epoxy use? or high quality content?
@Edward Elizabeth Hitler hmmm. I keep a box full of silica (with indicator dye) to keep my plastics dry. It had never occurred to me I should do something similar with acetone. Good tip! Thanks!
2:47 this is genious, I loved it when he doing new stuffs.
Congrats for 5 M!! And wow, this looks very professional and done with a lot of love
Also the whiteboard is illusion 100
Mehdi you actually make learning fun. You are also hilarious man you may be the funniest guy on earth. You make understanding electricity a lot easier and I've always wanted to learn more about electricity. Just wanted to say thanks! Keep up the good work!
V sauce is recommended if you like this gay, v sauce is basically just random nonsense and it’s quite humorous
12:26 nice safety margin on that insulator! always nice to see insulators fail in a flashover and not a puncture.
:)
finally he didnt get electred
Congrats on 5M subs, You have had many electro shocks to get there!
@Morozko Hehehehe there was an ad so it didn't work 😂
Loved the video! Really happy for you to finally reach 5 million!
Congratulations mehdi
"...as smooth as your brains..." Boom, you got us good 💜 Massive congratulations to you for 5 mil subs!
16:40 The highs, the lows, the f--- no-es. That was an emotional roller coaster, even more so than your runaway stand-up desk. Thanks for sharing this project with us.
@@luuliiquiinteroo3017 shut up
Congratulations 🎉 You have been selected by a scammer Don't send him messages to sort it out
@@luuliiquiinteroo3017🤡
Congratulations! You did it!!
Truly brilliant. I didn’t search this evening for videos of current day mad scientists testing dangerous electronic setups but I got it and I’m delighted. I subscribed and have lots to watch, where has this channel been all my life :-)
been watching this guy since i was 12, the fact he still kept making videos after all this time really shows how dedicated he is, he really has earned 5 mil subs the long way. congrats man, you earned this bro.
Since 12 Assuming u started when he started Your 22… He said 10 years … So atleast yr between 12 and 22 mmm I was bored 😂
14:50 the genuine sadness in his voice broke me
He's scared
The mercury in the lamp
13:25 magnetokebab
Wow I'm impressed you got this to work
Holy moly, this green screen skills are amazing. It literally looks like he is sitting there 🤣. Your visual explanations raised at 10000 🔥
Nobody notices that his shirt changes every time for green screen
Your new sketching setup is super creative and looks great on screen. Well done!
I agree! Green screening the whiteboards is genius
im always satisfied by him not only succeeding in his creations..but still managing to electrocute/burn/blow something up in the process one way or another.
Your tutorial-talk whilst explaining the process is great and I want that voice to narrate everything narratable
5:15 Not only a magician, but a celery stalker. Top Tier 3D printing, B💥💥M-tastic! :D 18:01 Unibrow 3D
16:44 Oh F***K NO!
16:45 "oOoOh! fUg nO!"
I laughed so fucking hard at how his pitch shifted
@@SnarkDADminsadist
Dued, you are honestly amazing seriously, the level of knowledge you have on this and then being able to share it in a fun way that gets people excited and wanting to learn more is a Unique quality that most try to learn, your videos have sooo much in them it's great, your awesome bro. I love aluminum welding, so it's awesome seeing that in other things like thus and music theory ect, all of life (:
New to your channel but loving your videos. Cracking me up every time. 👍
I have been watching every single video of yours from the beginning. Nice to see how far you have grown but still keep up the old humor which keeps bringing me back. Thank you Mehdi for entertaining us with all your explosions and near-death experiences. A well deserved 5 million subs tbh😇
Omg😂 you could be the new TikTok text voice! 1:30
Your epoxy electric motor setup is exactly how i fix my fishing rods! 😀 I use epoxy to adhere a winding of braided fishing line over the new line guide eyes. It's like homemade fiberglass.
10:54 Well placed product placement for future sponsor consideration.
Ahhh self burns, those are rare XD @ 1:50
@WhatsApp ➕➀➈➃⓪➁➈⓪➀➁➅⓪ Hello Mr. Scammer. What about scamming someone else, huh?
yup same thing that my parents say 1:50
I’ve been subscribed to your for a couple years now and have watched you grow from 800k to 5mil now! It’s nice to see you get the attention you deserve! Good luck my friend and I’ll keep watching keenly.
Damn, you are a proffesional editor, this and your skill with electronics made you skyrocket
brilliant, i really enjoy your projects. i once used a 3pin car head light and mis judged them as LNE. if i had some brilliant test equipment i probably wouldnt have known electronics today.
The "oh fuck no" sounded so different than normal that I burst out laughing. Great episode!
I rewound and watched that part like 3 times. Fucking hell.
The comedic timing was perfect.
14:23 the magic wand doing it's thing
He needs all the subscribers he can get, he is such a great electrician and entertaining educator
1:45 BRO SAME
Congratulations on 5 million! You really deserved it! And I cannot imagine how much solder fume you had to sniff to get there!
Ok
How does a channel go from double-O-kidney to ''Katherine'' and still talks about the all natural alternatives that will save the world?
Probably too much fumes.
1:40 EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Congratulations! Love your vids I've watched you for yrs!
Electro, you are the best... I just love how you handle the shocks like a pro. I am a noob when it comes to electronics, thus I shock a lot too, but mine is accidental, thus I do not catch mine on camera.. You on the other hand is educated enough to expect it, yet you do it for our entertainment purposes while teaching us... I just love this!!! It will not however change my luck for not getting shocked... Maybe push me a little more to try and also make it entertaining...😄😄😄
This is the best episode of "How It's Made" ever.
12:57/13:29 - nice imprumptu lathe! I dig it! (And the whole project, too, but I was expecting that; the lathe was a surprise bonus!) "It is beautiful" indeed!
06:12 love your shiny ball!
congrats on 5M! i love yours videos! i learn alot of new things from you ... Thanks!!! keep up the work!!!!
Heartiest congratulations Professor ‘Boom’ Mehdi!! I have been watching and learning so much from your videos since the dawn of Electroboom. Seeing the way your channel has evolved over these ten years has been very impressive to say the least. Here is to the next ten years (looking forward already to what they will bring) and ten million subscribers!! A thoroughly deserved milestone!!
5:47 I can't stot my laughing 🤣
Apology
Stot 💀😂
The background commentary is top tier. Loved it
I love these! So awesome, I literally had my kids start watching and now all 5 love it too!
1:27 sounds like kreosan english
1:05 pictured: ElectroBOOM casts _chain lightning_
2:56 That part was so nice, felt like some private lessons eheh
01:49 that joke killed me. I have stomach ake from that, especially the laugh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations! I love how your projects have become so professional, i remember the good old days of pvc pipe and duct tape
Damn, this actually looks like it's going to work. Just needs some engineering fine-tuning on the insulation and it's gonna be cool af
6:34 Nice drawing 👌
Omg its amazing to see how much his comedy has grown in all this time. It's amazing
This episode is so well put together, I love it!
1:22 my thing just turned on;)
💀
nice project, try using a hf litz wire for the primary winding to get less skin effect which in reverse will reduce the losses and heat of the bottom rod
15:25 I appreciate the accuracy there :)
Mehdi really deserves appreciation for his great efforts... Congrats for the little milestone
Animated head-mehdi is coming for my dreams
Lol me too
I have build a similar one and i tested different diameters of the secondary coils and i came to to conclusion that a bigger diameter of the secondary coil will result in higher performance. Your's is quiet thin, if you would increase it just a littler bit you would get much higher Voltages and Sparks :)! Great Video btw!
masterful use of your grrenscreen sir. never seen someone use it like that and i tip my hat to you, it works fabulously.
Congratulations! This achievement is so well deserved
2:48 was genius and hilarious.

The most comprehensive real science most useful lesson I have ever met about Tesla Coil amazing principles and secrets, now right from my favourite HiTech genius wizard-teacher! Forever subscribed as addicted, of course ! Genius idea to include epoxy full filling and ferrites core then divided them to both increasing inductance and high voltage insulation!!! Many thanks!
Iam remembering when you had like below 100k subs. Congrats! You deserve it well :)
I’m really impressed at the 3D printed oscilloscope you have on the left there!
Never gets old watching you get shocked from something that just sounds like death. Congrats on 5m well deserved
Congratulations
I've always wanted to make a Tesla coil, now I know how they work (as well as what not to do😂) and a new favorite KZheadr, I have been getting more and more into this stuff thanks tobyou
15:47 reminds me of the deadly jacob's ladder.....
Congratulations on the 5M milestone, never stop exploring and experimenting
I've never seen something like you did with your head over the whiteboard 😄 awesome idea
He’s an expert,but acts like he has no idea what he’s doing has to be the funniest part in his videos
