[woppy71]

hmmmmm.... is Gebroni son of Kidwell?? ;)

[Physicsduck]

@woppy71 Yes

[CoderjoeIsTaken]

Did Paul say the control circuit schematic has changed? Any chance of seeing the revised schematic?

[haniff2007]

you need to plan an april fools video

[ambrandt420]

Oh, and... the blowtorch is located at about 25 minutes in, just so ya know :-p

[shaggyspfld]

awesome reference to the muppet show with statler and waldorf

[Balarick]

i want to see an inside out quarter :)

[TechnoW1zard]

Submit Stomper to Webster's Dictionary as a new entry under EPIC!

[austin777136]

I have to wonder what an inside-out quarter would look like.

[Physicsduck]

@austin777136 a ball

[motorbikesrule125]

Wow I want 1 lol

[powercord123456]

you guys gotta put a compass next to it and film what happens :D

[VaperSteve1975]

Congratulations ladies and gentlemen! Another job well done! You never cease to amaze and inspire..

[clipperdistributing]

51:50 There's a metric on analytics for that. I'd love to see the chart on this video.

[mechadrake]

squinting pirate camera watches Captain beating on his drums :) aaaarrrrrrrr

[jonnybeats12]

Congratulations guys, great effort from everyone involved! Sure it's pretty simple mechanically but its big, gnarly and makes a hilariously mute 'thud' when it goes off, which is pretty awesome!

[andyroo24601]

Adventure Time, c'mon grab your friends, we'll go to very distant lands. Cory the Dog, and Kidwell the Human, the fun will never end, it's Adventure Time!

...Wait, does that make Gibroni the Ice King? "*squawk* You're a sociopath!"

[realityhack]

It's a thing magnets!!! Ordering today. I can't stop using that phrase now. Stupid Bodenisms.

[tyskkvinna]

@realityhack keep a close eye on the store, they will magically appear sometime this week!

[jackkollan]

Well done guys, very impressive.

[BiterOldSkunk]

Hey Chris there's something on the lens @ 50:59... oh wait that's Cory

[kiddy1992]

cant a faradaycage resist an emp? cause you probebly can focus trough the the mesh

[mobius1ace5]

Please don't kill the albums! I will gladly take them and love them! I grew up listening to the BeeGees and bands like that.. At least save all the Earth Wind & Fire :)

[TGAreaper]

do "You'r a hack, get off the internet" fridge magnets.

[superdau]

You got any bi-metal coins in the US? They'll most likely come apart.

Oh, and please, don't use an e-stop for anything else than an e-stop, especially on a device that could use an e-stop! I actually thought the "hold-to-charge" button was on purpose so you can't leave it on charge by mistake.

[Bluetorchproductions]

I think Mike from the UK chapter sent in a selection of british coinage but i dont know if he sent in a £2 coin. Personaly id like to see the 2 euro coin go through that, its about all it will be worth soon =D

[tmbomber383]

@superdau We have some Mexican Pesos we'll be trying.

[JasonLeeBaxter]

So what do you think the safe distance you will go with for public demos will be? I'm assuming the distance you have from the device is because this is early testing.

[Physicsduck]

@JasonLeeBaxter It should be perfectly safe to stand directly next to the chamber when it fires. It's just unnerving. In theory, you could sit on top of it and be perfectly fine.....we'll test this with Gibroni first.

[JasonLeeBaxter]

@Physicsduck I'm guessing with the EMP, people with pacemakers need to keep the hell away.

[roberson644]

Really cool vid watched the whole thing lol.

[TimeElf1]

Success at 1:11:31 if you don't have time to sit through the whole video.

[ljmike1204]

every hobby is expencif i have a drive in show i have for 7000 euro on Light and sound gear

[lukosrage]

Normally contractors make that noise if they are nasty- a small file and a lil' bit of time would make things very happy and quiet. (Then again Paul seems like the kind of person who knows that)

BUZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZ its 60HZ for I love you!

[tmbomber383]

@lukosrage Problem is, those are 15000 Volt sealed vacuum contactors. Ya can't quite get a file in there :)

[GarethPowerSwitch]

World currency for stomper?

[LittleGreenFire]

Congratulations to everyone who worked on the mark 4 prototype. I can't wait to visit the lab this summer, and I also can't wait to see where this project is going to go.

DINOSAUR OF SAFETY ~ its a thing.

[sk7ca]

Christine hides behind the alu pile.. but she's fully visible in the mirror at 00:46! :D fail.

[PhattyMo]

@sk7ca It's like where's Waldo! We'll have to find her in every video..It's a thing?

[deathstarnhb]

I really hope the my iron made it back to the lab.... Missing irons make bill a mad boy.

[tmbomber383]

@deathstarnhb I put it on top of your monitor.

[Phatpally]

GIBRONI SMACK!!!

[kjellare]

1:23:01 of awsomness :)

[mraiford]

So when are you going to shoot a video of some jank piece of consumer electronics being obliterated by Stomper's EMP?

[KaitharVideo]

Wait, did I just hear right.... Gibroni's dinosaur on a magnet?! That is fricking cool!

I'd still like to have that background :)

I'm not going to lie. I watch the entire thing just in case something interesting happens :p

I love how you left your car parked right next to the giant emp of doom.

Well, it was worth the wait ... Congrats folks, it's a good day to be a Geek :)

[TheValveBoy]

Awesome!!!! Congrats

[superdau]

First frame: Liz giving the finger.... Gonna be a nice episode ;)

[PhattyMo]

Boden,you bastard! I'm gonna have nightmares for decades. Corey chewin his cud. FML.

[MrBilllyboob]

One and a half hours of heaven 

[DeepSpaceAlien]

Around 0:39:00, Who's Denise ? :D

[Physicsduck]

@DeepSpaceAlien Denise, also know as "Snaggletooth" is an ExGF of mine from back in high school.

[DeepSpaceAlien]

@Physicsduck Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it very much if people try to answer their fans/public from time to time. Makes you feel connected :p Thumbs up for you guys !!!

[TheJcradioman]

Good job you guys. Epic Day!! Cory you scare me...but in a good way! I think that guy is at every Walgreen's.

[electricsnut]

Nice work guys, has to be one of the funniest vids by far! :) How many joules are you storing on Stomper mk4 now?

[CorbyStarletCj1]

Awesome work and congratulations to everyone involved at TGG HQ, Keep up the good work !

[grantedmemories]

you can buy bulk blue m&m's from the m&m website haha..

[OrciTheOrca]

I watched the livestream for HOURS, just waiting to see the first explosion live... Congrats to everyone! ^_____^

[baldbrad]

Those of us who are blind have different ways of seeing women like them.................

[tech4pros1]

gerbroni is starting to fight back. do not underestimate is ability to slowly and painfully kill you...

[pippaengroda]

finally!

I watched this live and has been waiting for this sence :)

Too bad the live stream had some issues right when we needed it.. damn you murphy! :P

still AWSOME work on stomper.... i want one :P

[rocker7579]

Is it sad that I rewatched the first 12 seconds about 25 times. It's fun watching Gibroni hit triangle man.

[jayjones8686]
