u are an absolute madlad
I did indeed get a kick out of the screwdriver power supply! Have to keep that in mind if I ever do another class for beginners in electronic theory. We used to think it was fun to have one troop hold a pair of field wire while having another crank the handle on an old TA312, made what little hair they had stand on end for a few seconds, ah for the good old days in the US Army!
Happy to see you picked up that pro mini multi pin, I have built many projects with the little fellows, so very nice not to have to try and make your own 5v and grnd pins to hook up all the goodies. I order these by the 5 or 10 when I run short, they fit almost anywhere in small project boxes as well.
Not being able to change the shunt in those amp meters is a big fail.
Julian makes some very interesting videos, but I have to agree that using this SHITTY method of connecting 240VAC to the load was STUPID, even for an experienced technician (especially for an experienced technician?). You don't need to buy a $60 QuickTest to do this safely, just get some of the EXCELLENT German-made Wago Lever-Nuts. They're cheap, can handle high current and high voltage, and are secure and very easy to use.
That said, I'd STILL like to buy a QuickTest, if only "Because Big Clive".
Perhaps the best way to handle this sort of thing on YouTube is to CLEARLY explain why it's fucking stupid and dangerous, then do it anyway (I'm looking at you, Mehdi Sadaghdar…)
I love the mains test rig. Attitude points 🙂
This is NOT how to demonstrate high voltage on Youtube. In the privacy of your own workshop, sure, be as insane as you like. But on a public video? To people who are so inexperienced that they actually find an ILLUMINATED GODDAMN SWITCH exciting? Shit, Julian, you literally have people GIVING YOU FREE MONEY. Buy some proper equipment you tight bastard!
anything stuck into the end of a iec lead other than an iec socket is a massive fail ,considering the wealth of knowledge you clearly have julian and the amount of people who may be watching your videos to learn how to do things properly i dont think i could have been more shocked at seeing this blatentley dangerous method of working …
Honestly these replies from safety numpties.
My advice to you – stay inside, don’t talk to anyone, don’t read anything, don’t watch anything , don’t DO anything – you could die!!!!!
I say anyone can make a video on YouTube and do what the hell THEY like and if it’s dangerous and YOU or SOMEONE ELSE copies it and gets hurt or dies, tough!
Have some responsibility for gods sake.
Clive would have cut the meter open for our education. 🙂
For the first time ever, your video is getting a dislike from me. Messing around with 230/ 240 volts like that is incredibly irresponsible. A few idiots/ children will copy you. Please use proper test equipment.
I agree, you shouldn't show the section with the 2 metallic screwdrivers on youtube!!
I didnt got the last "up here"with the middle finger but ok ..Just joking
