Re: How to Electrocute an Elephant

She has beautiful straight white teeth but her hair looks like a greasy rat's tail. I still think she's hot.

@LiquidSmooth except for the fact that Tesla had extreme OCD, everything he had was to be in multiples of 3, forks, rooms, etc.

[mackaronen]

Edison electrocuted Topsy to prove the dangers of alternating current. George Westinghouse and Nicola Tesla pushed for alternating current because it was better, but Edison held all the patents for direct current and made a lot of money from it.

So, he was only trying to blacken the names of Westinghouse and Tesla, not proving the power of electricity.

you should practice more before you make a video you are not very understandable at times but it explained something i heard on the radio so thanx

[Terminator860]

Your video is completely pointless

[LiquidSmooth]

Edison is repulsive to me. Telsa to my knowledge wasn't cruel and was very generous with his ideas and wanted to help mankind. Edison basically just had his own ego and interests at heart. You can probably lump JP Morgan and Edison in the same bed. THink telsa even wound up dying penniless and he was a far supierior scientist and inventor to Edison. SOmetimes I even wonder if that sick Edison and power hungry JP Morgan had something to do with Telsa's demise

The elephant was to be killed and Edison used this opportunity to scare people against the use of AC electricity (he being a supporter of DC electricity, he'd make a lot of money if it became used). This happened during the 'War of currents' which was happening around that time (wiki for full story). Just for reference he used 6600 volts, as little 50mili volts at half a amp can kill a human.

Also DC is a lot more dangerous than AC ;)

Woot...

That was so long ago and, be glad topsy was electrocuted instaed of hung.

Not that topsy should die but, well that was over 100 years ago.

people take this waaaay too far.

Its kinda like bombing an abortion clinic and killing three or four people to save a fetus.

Anyway...nothing against you but, realize that steak you eat or chicken etc....

Hmmm...enjoy your meal.

[Sexyduffman420]

umm. your one weird ass mother fucker...

topsy to abortion to steak and chicken, what the fuck goes on in your head?

[UnidentifiedIsa]

Hey baby! How'd you even find my youtube?

[Dhaku420]

wikipedia wanna be huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[virgonomic]

What was the point of this?

[UnidentifiedIsa]

Video response to sxephil's video about Topsy.

[UnidentifiedIsa]

No, the elephant really killed 3 people, but it's quite understandable as to why.

[CaptainTrips77]

Wow, thats pretty weird stuff right there. Glad to see you got your camera working :)

[jbogalho]

the idea was unexpected and almost hilarious :) so keep thinking this stuff up, but stop taking those "OMG i'm responding to phil, OMG" pills...

[UnidentifiedIsa]

I like the idea of doing a response video once in a while and I thought this might be a good chance to do so. I'm glad you like it and I will be doing other videos based on my life experiences.

[Darkside2205]

um... Who's idea was it to umm... hang an elephant and what supplements were they taking? I mean where they gonna tie a huge thick rope around its neck and make it jump of a cliff? and in that case where would the rope be tied and wouldn't the fall kill it?

[UnidentifiedIsa]

I really have no idea how they were planning on doing this.

[OPE08]

Actually, I won't debate the elephants criminal lifestyle, BUT, the actual reason was that he was trying to sucker people into beliving that DC was safe, and AC was too dangerous. Who was trying to power cities with the DC system? Edison.

We use AC today because DC sucks for distance of transmission.

cheers!!

[Darkside2205]

and that's why everywhere else uses DC?

[UnidentifiedIsa]

Thank you for the information. I wouldn't have known that otherwise, so I do appreciate it.

[porkchopineverycan]

so the point was capital punishment?

for ele ahh never mind

[UnidentifiedIsa]

I don't have any idea.

[Imran500]

Nice Video, 5 stars.

[UnidentifiedIsa]

Thank you!

[thesteamroller]
