Variac Popping Stuff

Popping a few motors & HDD voice coil!, This video is for Educational and Entertainment Purposes ONLY!
As always, when I do these experiments, It is Obvious to me that I am Experimenting with mains voltage that has more than enough potential to KILL, should I feel the need to approach the "Danger Zone", I ALWAYS switch off & DISCONNECT, ensuring that there is a Physical BREAK from the supply that I am using, in which it is impossible for Mains Current travel.
NEVER rely on just the switch itself or even the "safety" switch on the switchboard, they can FAIL, NEVER TAKE RISKS, ALWAYS Remove the plug from the socket and see that the setup is Completely ISOLATED from the supply.....Then it's Safe to proceed.

@acme663ryo OK, Thanks!

Nice. The thing that I like to do in real life when things pop is to actually do a autopsy on said thing and see what actually popped. Quite educational when it is found that it was a bad solder join on a resistor network that may lead to the popping of a horizontal output transistor...

Great pops, that relay coil went very well. Great to see the cat and dog as audience.

Your lino will get burn marks as Photonics carpet.
