Flaming Motor and PC CDROM and HDD Burn Up on Mains Power

[exebotproductions]

Looks fun, but not going to try this at home!

[fatman5156]

Why man why hit me back and let me no

[alex993cc1]

did the shed not stink like high hell for the next 3 weeks?

[zach0eats0babies]

I'm going to have a friend who owns a computer repair shop too, one day, so I can get  bunches of parts :)

[Aussie50]

@zach0eats0babies cool!, play it safe with mains voltage tho!, and use a resistive ballast

[zach0eats0babies]

@Aussie50 I don't even know what that is :D I don't want to blow stuff up (at least not all of it) I want to use it to make things from. but I will keep that in mind ;)

[SAMIMYS]

that was awesome ! man you killed all the viruses inside those hard-drives.

[hamsterball27]

2:29 no u put the power in the other end lol

[hamsterball27]

acer cd drive

[TheSanpletext]

Do I see some overvolting? That is pretty awesome.

[Guckensens]

firework

[ThePotkustart]

were did you get all those cd drives?

[Aussie50]

@ThePotkustart friend had a PC repair biz, gave me boxes and boxes of old drives, everything from 2X CD to DVDRs

[ThePotkustart]

@Aussie50 ok i am just interested of eny pc parts available :)

(mostly thigs that contain circuitboards) because in here it is hard to get enything...if i go to recycle market they cost money and i dont even know i eny scrapyard would even give me enythig :( (they have all those rules not to even let people go to watch there.)

[wescoolya]

@Aussie50 have any left?

[Aussie50]

@wescoolya nope

[Volta500]

I just LOVE the sound of knispering electronics! As long as it is an old device you want to blow up and not your nice project you have been working on for weeks...

[bandbgamesroom]

motor wasn't even flaming!!!

[Flamable3000]

can you do this with the gtx590?

[007agent0007]

Format C:

[Ubuntu1user1jb]

How did you connect them up? Which wire was positive and negative?

[Aussie50]

@Ubuntu1user1jb its alternating current, it dosn't matter which way you wire it.

only Direct Current has polarity

[Ubuntu1user1jb]

@Aussie50 Oh Ok thank you. But If I am wiring them in DC then how do I connect them up?

[ReCkLeSsErr0r]

Nice!

[TheVideoGameFreak100]

fire works! very...VERY...dangerous fireworks!

[MRdetination]

you know what they say, electronics are made off smoke and once its gone they don't work anymore

[glumpy10]

Awww!

All the magic smoke escaped!!

[danieljrees]

some men just want to watch the world burn.

[dana44s]

Jesus, How much voltage / AMPs were you putting into those CD drives?

[Aussie50]

@dana44s I was using a resistive ballast so the volts dropped a bit under high amps, but it was about 100 - 150V at 20 - 30A at times

[BrianLD252]

GOOD ACER QUALITY THERE!!, lol

[scottaner500]

well now thay r fuckd

[hvacdexter]

Oh that is awsome. Good show! Those caps sure make a smokey mess lol

[Ultralphawolf]

THANK YOU FOR BLOWING UP ACER HARDWARE!

ACER SUCKS! AM I RIGHT?! ;)

[teletronikoforever]

How to properly "burn" a CD

[Aussie50]

@teletronikoforever lol the old 4 - 12X burners went into warp speed :D

[THO1996MAS]

its all fun and games until the mysterious blue smoke comes out...

[jazzaqld24121971]

Just curious Aussie... Have you ever been electrocuted at all?

[Aussie50]

@jazzaqld24121971 I've had a few minor zaps but no near-death experiences. worst was a start cap that I did not know was charged.

[MrJohn1966elliott]

Lol, Like smoke disco maker : ) Rip Pop music, Have fun : )

[TheNizzmo]

RAGE QUIT MUCH

[Aussie50]

@TheNizzmo I wasn't playing COD or WoW :P, not that I play either of them anymore.

[NightWolfEditing]

Format complete!

[obone01]

Get that shit in a fume cupboard asap!

[Aussie50]

@obone01 I have been meaning to put a extractor in the roof apex, but thats about it.

[rooboy69]

cool story bro!

[nestor1417]

wooow, that´s fun!!

[olmatenightfox]

I really enjoyed this

Thanks :D

[ShootingSpongebob]

snap crackle death!

[ultrabeing1]

I love the smell of cancer in the morning

[omgitschrislol]

@ultrabeing1 this made my effin week!

[DJignyte]

Yes, frying things is good and all but the real question remains unanswered...

Will it blend?

[SpeakerFreak95]

at 1:54 you can see the laser diode light up!

[Veikra]

0:30 remembered me of the etherkiller

[AwesomeDude775]

My friend (youtube.com/user/4442012) and i like blowing cd drives up just like you did

[AwesomeDude775]

I need a motor for halloween!~!!!! why waste money on fog machines???

[RODALCO2007]

Great stuff as usual.

The crackeling sound hmmmm LOL !

Fire works is always fun while erasing data.

Love the smoke puffing out of the caps.

[FrontSideBus]

Computer CPU's run on about 1.1 to 1.6 volts. I wonder how they would like 240? :)

[dgelevators1]

those hard drives just got TOASTED

[Threemicsrecords]

To think that this video can be seen in HD LOL.

[rysho1]

lol A good acer is a dead acer

[Berni0707]

Smoke Wins! FATALITY!  LoL

[joshhsega]

how much are u putting in to them

[m4d3ng]

You need to do one where you flick the 110/240 volt switch on a running pc

[cheetawolf]

mmm, SMELLS LIKE CANCER!

[DragonFlyback256]

@cheetawolf

Oh pleeeezzzz, now are you starting it too? xD

[slovokia]

The CiA should use the smoke from fried hard drives as part of their enhanced interrogations protocols. I.E. Talk or the hard drive gets it.

[slovokia]

I would not want to be smelling that smoke. eeeuw

[a380rockerfan]

So satisfying! Snap crackle pssht popopop crackle mmmmmmm Pure enjoyment

[chairuser4]

Sounds like bacon,mmmmm

[HoneycombAgent]

0:12 [Upper left-hand corner] "Rake..."

What does the rest of that sign say?

[DragonFlyback256]

@HoneycombAgent

"Keep Hands Clear" (out of the way).

[nodariel]

Aussie50 invents the smoke machine

[Oerg866]

how many wolts did you conect to it?

[camochannel1]

snap crackle and pop, rice crispies :)

[daewooparts]

love seeing those PC cities get nuked !

[classicmacintosh]

3:30 - data is *not* erased ;D

[Sansui350A]

well, all I can see for the PC shit is this.. that's one HELL of an "overclock".. lol :D

[HoneycombAgent]

@Sansui350A

At least those were Craptor hard drives.

[MrGerbilBrain]

ahaha you should have overvolted the input of that power supply too, if you still have it

[theavailablenamessuk]

I got a couple old cdrom drives and hardrives I need to release magic smoke from.

[8tyman8]

whats you hydro bill every month LOL

[jimmytechnologies]

hilarious fun! nice work

[TradieTrev]

Those HDD's would have made perfectly good speakers! LOL

[Aussie50]

@TradieTrev lol my 8" Jaycar speakers are better :D

would be nice to make a HDD into a piezo speaker for a geiger counter tho

[HoneycombAgent]

@Aussie50 Hell, I could have loaded my VCR-DVD combo player with fireworks and blown it up that way.

[V8Jagnut]

lmfao. you in one of them moods. :p

[Aussie50]

@V8Jagnut yeah I could not bring myself to throw those drives out without blowing them up first :D

[superdau]

@Aussie50

Before something is thrown away, it has to be destroyed professionally andthoroughly! 

[Lachlant1984]

So that's what happens when you put 240 volts AC to computer parts, they go boom and smoke, I didn't know that, well you learn something new every day don't you. That's a lot of smoke, Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[FrontSideBus]

A couple of MOT's and that big capacitor that you have would torture these nicely... :)

[shinyfuzzy]

@FrontSideBus lol photonic eh??? hes cool as hell

[Aussie50]

@FrontSideBus yeh photonics cap is much better, the one i have is little more than a glorified microwave cap :(

[archiesbug1]

Nice fizzy smoke,,, mmm tasty ....

[HDXFH]

HDD Motors will run on 50HZ AC, I tried it with a MOT, First try a Variac, you should be able to get it to work on 2 of the phases,, Then slowly increase power, They don't get any faster, because they rely on frequency, like induction Motors :), Gotta love Electrical Carnage

[adzjohn]

dare u to piss on it lol

[shinyfuzzy]

how fast can u get a hdd motor to spin?

[Aussie50]

@shinyfuzzy not sure on how to drive them to be honest!

[sk7ca]

@Aussie50 HDD motors are small brushless 3 phase motors :)

[shinyfuzzy]

@Aussie50 find out. alot run like 7200 while under normal shit. it would be cool to see how fast they would go

[fredlllll]

@Aussie50 some are 3 phase motors. they have 3 pins. others have 4 pins. dont know how they work. but dont put main voltage on them. they would just make poof.

[DragonFlyback256]

@fredlllll

They are synchronous motors. Rotor is of a special multipole magnet ring, and they are driven with a small (most times) onboard motor inverter IC, feedbacked with a magnetic sensor.

[DragonFlyback256]

@Aussie50

"not sure on how to drive them to be honest!"

You either can drive them with a decently ballasted 3-phase so it only gets low enough voltage that it wont pop and overheat, or you can use a 3-phase step-down transformer if you find any; also you can get an inverter / drive board from any kind of sync motor that has it on the motor body itself, like some picture head- or capstan motors (direct drive) from a VCR for a very example ----

[DragonFlyback256]

@Aussie50

---- They need a low voltage DC and an "on / speed" control voltage or something like that; also theres a way to build a very simple 3-phase drive for it; i've once built a 3-phase LED blinking circuit (1 transistor per LED xD) and should have maybe tested it on a sync motor too. But i'm sure it would work.

[BlueFoxTV]

You have to bring that stuff up slowly on variac. That's how i use to do it.

[Aussie50]

@BlueFoxTV takes too long :(. this is more fun

[pikuorguk]

I can smell that all the way over here.

[knglaser]

surprising amount of action from those cdroms :D

[thebrassmonkey100]

well hello again.
