High Voltage Fun with Science - Experiment in Electromagnetism

[SSmithProductions]

I tried this at home and died. Now what?

[hygentics]

add a piece of charcoal in line and the static wont discharge to quickly!

[Chemistman343]

I just shocked myself with 120volts I think!! Owwwww.

[Chemistman343]

I agree with fireflood! I love it myself!

[FireFlood]

Gotta love science!

[StarCraftZocker95]

@timmyeazor245 im not sure but i think that the static electricy from the tv will go trough the cable to the first can and when you touch the other end it wants to balance the electricity so the metal piece will magnetically pulled to the first can and gets charged it jumpes to the other one the release its charge and when its not charged it will jump over to charge it self again ;) hope i could help

[Basketball677]

SO THAT'S HOW YOU BEAT VENOM!!!!

[esasirenarara]

what grade is this science experiment? could it be good enough for presentation on a science fair? thanks!:)

[darkwolv345]

what grade is this science experiment????????????

[darkwolv345]

ok thanks

[timmyeazor245]

i need to know how this works for my science project if possible please

[batrisyia91]

does it only work with tv???????



[RamblinAround]

@batrisyia91 This particular set-up will only work with a tube type television, but you could power the device with another power source. You would just eliminate the foil and hook the wires to the battery that you're using.

[darkwolv345]

ok so i love this but iam 12 do u think i can do it my self?????

[RamblinAround]

@darkwolv345 Like I said in the video, I recommend you show the video to one of your parents before you try to do this. If you follow exactly what I do in the video, then it will work.

[SuperDaniel360]

if that happens with a small tv, what if i do it to my 40 inch? It makes lots of crackle noises.

[RamblinAround]

@SuperDaniel360 It might keep going for a bit longer.

[shave23]

@SuperDaniel360 kid YES YOU CAN!!!! science is not only for adults :D 

[smoke140]

it helped me with my science project and gave the info i needed for it

[RamblinAround]

@smoke140 That's good to hear....thanks for watching!

[jdizzleeminem1]

the first time he said wires i thought he wihairs...i was like i dont have one of those....LOL!

[HnsProCS]

XD



[dcxxxo55]

i have a question, please answer me fast, how do you put the aluminium sheet in the tv?

[dcxxxo55]

cool, i like it, i would try it for my science fair.

[RamblinAround]

@dcxxxo55 I think it would be great for your science fair. I think if you watch the video carefully, you'll be able to figure it all out. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[5eaMonkey]

did this in physics, but we used a ping pong ball covered in foil instead of a pull ring, and a 5000V power supply.

[1960sali]

very nice and succes on the future :)

[RamblinAround]

@1960sali Thanks for watching!

[Ruffmin92]

Very nice & nice name for your channel/also for your future TV show!

[RamblinAround]

@Ruffmin92 Thank you very much!

[lifelivecesar]

nice!!



[RamblinAround]

@lifelivecesar Thanks for watching!

[smoke140]

very cool

[RamblinAround]

@smoke140 Thanks for taking a look!

[masterfulfishsticks]

That startled me, its like voodoo!

[RamblinAround]

@masterfulfishsticks Thanks for watching!

[MegaHotgamer]

that's my alarm!

[RatRaceAce]

That was quite good, and funny too. Kids can learn about static electricity through such simple but interesting projects. I used to have fun with making little things like electroscopes with the aluminium foil from cigarette packs.

[RamblinAround]

@RatRaceAce Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[lixeiratrash]

is you satan?

[PayamTheGreat]

Would please explain the physics behind this? Thanks

[nateisgreat0007]

That's really cool!

[RamblinAround]

@nateisgreat0007 Thanks for watching!

[philcald1]

That was fun, I never realised that alluminium could be affected by magnetism... great stuff.

[RamblinAround]

@philcald1 Thanks for watching, glad you found it interesting.

[iRouRoui]

neat

[RamblinAround]

@iRouRoui Thanks for watching!

[coolanas1]

thumbs up if that u were searching for somthing else and u choose thinkin it is some thing else!!! :D

[Flamedramon007]

@coolanas1 -forever alone-

[neonpike]

amazing , thanks

[RamblinAround]

@neonpike Thanks for watching!

[woodzo40]

That is cool..

[Trex1268]

Weird... Hows that work when the aluminum tab isn't magnetic?

[RamblinAround]

@Trex1268 It has to do with the negative charge of Electrons and the Positive charge of the Nuclei. When you hook the can on the right to the foil on the screen it becomes charged with a lot of free electrons. The electrons repel the electrons in the tab and push it towards the left can(because like charges repel and opposites attract). At the same time that the can on the rights is repelling the electrons in the tab, it's also attracting the positive nuclei in the tab. When the tab touches....

[RamblinAround]

@RamblinAround the can on the left, the electrons flow through to ground and positive nuclei are attracted back to the can on the right because of it's excess negatively charged electrons. ***Basically, you're correct that aluminum is not a ferrous, or magnetic material, but electrons can flow through it. It's the flow of free electrons that cause the shifts in polarity of the tab.

[Trex1268]

@RamblinAround Very cool!! Thanks for the reply Sir.

[HikerJohn316]

@Trex1268 Hi. cool experiment. If I may add... Aluminum isn't magnetic but it is affected by magneticism. I have taken an aluminum coin and moved it with a strong magnet.

[JTarver420]

pretty cool

[RamblinAround]

@JTarver420 Thanks for checking it out!

[JTarver420]

@JTarver420 no prob.  cool channel

[groutaone]

Thats amazing, I thought the tab would move just a little but it went crazy, enjoyed your video

[RamblinAround]

@groutaone Yep, it goes pretty good. Thanks for checking it out!

[rmaster1ruby]

Very Very cool. I will try this.

[RamblinAround]

@rmaster1ruby Glad you found it interesting, thanks for watching!

[Busia1949]

Neat experiment and let's you know how much energy continues to flow after the TV shuts off!

[RamblinAround]

@Busia1949 Thanks for watching!

[racer4560]

cool science experiment Jeff!

[RamblinAround]

@racer4560 Thanks for watching Racer!

[Buchoass]

Cool Intro..

Science is always interesting. Great project.

~Cheers~

B.Champagne

[RamblinAround]

@Buchoass Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comments.

[2LateIWon]

Thats pretty cool I'll have to try it with my boys. I think they will get a kick out of it.

[RamblinAround]

@2LateIWon Thanks for watching!

[kookiemoose]

Never seen this done before. Neat experiment!

[RamblinAround]

@kookiemoose Glad you found it interesting......thanks for watching!

[mwig50]

Awesome

[RamblinAround]

@mwig50 Thanks for watching!

[paradoxdesigns]

thats a interesting little trick. something ya learned in science class many years ago?

[RamblinAround]

@paradoxdesigns It's just something fun to do when you're bored. I read about something similar in a book. Glad you found it interesting, thanks for watching!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

wow that intro made my brain buzz. i must've missed a lot with my computer being dead. you could rig up some kinda alarm system like that, neat.

[RamblinAround]

@FatGuyWithAKatana I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to have you back! Thanks for watching!

[SCL0PS]

Yeah, we did that trick in a physics class many many years ago. Cheers for posting the video.

[RamblinAround]

@SCL0PS Thanks for watching!

[blackgold1111]

Thats cool

[RamblinAround]

@blackgold1111 Thanks for watching!

[2024JayZ]

Great video thanks for sharing I'm gonna do this today with my daughter

[RamblinAround]

@2024JayZ It is pretty fun. I'll warn you that the if you touch the foil after it's on the screen, it will give you a bit of a shock. Not enough to hurt you, but it is surprising.

[2024JayZ]

@RamblinAround Thanks for the warning So I will make sure I have her touch it afterwords lol Just playing

[shane46152]

thumbs yp if u thinks this i cool

[67kneil]

awesome party trick im going to do this at home without my parents home cause i live on the edge

[RamblinAround]

@67kneil LoL....that cracked me up.

[knikula]

that was pretty cool... what kind of humidity levels do you have in your house? must be pretty low, I wonder if this would work in the humid summertime...

[RamblinAround]

@knikula I think there is generally enough electricity on the screen to make this work. I'm not sure how much humidity would effect it.

[coolkat902]

Well Never cross my mind to do what you just did, Could I ask who told you how to do this ? Just curious. And I like this video because never seen this before.

[RamblinAround]

@coolkat902 I read about something similar in a book a while back. If I can find the book, I'll let you know the name of it. Thanks for watching!

[actionadventures]

Favorited and put in Best Hobbies and Interests Playlist.

[RamblinAround]

@actionadventures Thanks Linc, glad you found it interesting!

[josderedneck22]

really nice jeff ! yeah static elektricity as really crazy for you. i remember when i was still living whit my ex-wife we had a major probleme whit that for quite some time. every time we touched someting metal the sparks flow around. getting out off the car, open the doors in the house, even when stroking the cat !! the poor thing jumped off here feet in to the air! WRAUW!! hahahaha its crazy.

[RamblinAround]

@josderedneck22 I know what you mean Jos. My car has been shocking me all the time lately too. Also, when I was making this video, I touched the foil on the television with my hand and it gave me a pretty decent shock.

[ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

very interesting... and now I suggest you to do some research about colloidal silver (silver water) ,here on Youtube you can find a lot of videos how to make it...its very simple , and belive me you will never be sick again...tell your friends and family also...its a friendly advice...cheers Ramblin

[RamblinAround]

@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT I will look into that. Thanks for watching my vid, I appreciate it.

[mitym64]

awesome vid dude! fun with science!

[RamblinAround]

@mitym64 Glad you found it interesting.........thanks for watching!

[1963impala2dr]

are you a science teacher in your other life?

[RamblinAround]

@1963impala2dr I've just always been interested in science. I plan to do a series of videos on Physics as well, I just have to find ways to make them interesting.

[805ROADKING]

Funny stuff Buddy!! Good product placement, where's the ad??☺

[RamblinAround]

@805ROADKING Thanks for checking it out......I'll be waiting for my check from Coke to arrive...LOL

[born2rock4u]

now you tell me after I singed the hair off my arms! lol that was pretty cool! I like the random videos! Rock on! \m/ \m/

[RamblinAround]

@born2rock4u Thanks, I try to slip in some different stuff from time to time. Thanks for watching!

[born2rock4u]

@RamblinAround no problem dude! Peace!

[GatheringSticks]

very interesting video

it might even go longer if you used a coke and a pepsi.lol

[RamblinAround]

@GatheringSticks I think it would run all night on Red Bull cans....lol

[phill903]

That's really interesting...

[pulse0000]

Cool trick

[really2ugly]

Nice! That was fun.

[Ls3guy]

cool trick

[RamblinAround]

@Ls3guy Thanks for checking it out.

[GarethDavidWebb]

haha, cool intro!

[RamblinAround]

@GarethDavidWebb Thanks, just trying out some different things.

[scottsadventures]

That was very interesting. You could probably come up with a battery powered wind chime for those not so windy days.

[RamblinAround]

@scottsadventures Thanks for checking it out.

[253UC]

Nice thanks for sharing.

[RamblinAround]

@253UC Thanks for watching!
