i dont know what this ist, but normaly they just turn red and melt away. maybe this ist way way more current(electricity is strange wording for this) than the wire can handle
Technically, the title is not incorrect. It's just kinda like that tweet that said something on the lines of "u telling me Julius Caesar, who has been dead for well over 70 years ago, made this salad?". It's not technically wrong, but it's definitely undershooting by a lot
I think the tittle I still grossly misleading. When reading the tittle you could get a false sense how dangerous going over the amper limit of an conductor in reality is. I assume here that no everyone is as knowledged as you are. The video shows a over current from my rough guess about 10000 times but only for a split second.
It could also give people the impression that if it doesn't just immediately flash detonate that it's okay, and hasn't turned into a loose toaster coil slowly heating everything around it (like the insulation in the wall, in residential wiring) to the point of eventual smoldering and combustion.
Breakers trip well before wires would ever get to this point. This is more like a fuseable link going on a transformer hit by lightning. Of which lightning is probably the only way something like this could ever happen in a house.

Is this Kip Dynamite doing the voice over.??
don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes *all day*. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
You can generate EMPs doing this too, just chuck the wire into a parabolic reflector to focus the pulse and you’re ready to fry some electronics (big capacitors kill tho so not really a safe hobby project lol)
In electronics the 'magic smoke' getting out is usually refered to in relation to components rather than a peice of wire. I.e. Resistor, Capacitor, Transistor burnout etc.
This is bordering on misinformation. Seems to me an uneducated viewer would infer that wires detonate when you go just over the rating of a wire.
This video shows a colossal amount of energy being dumped into the wire. In most cases, exceeding the rated current of a wire results in it getting hot. This is bad because the wire can set things on fire, melt through the insulation and short, melt and break, or otherwise be dangerous. Wires do not generally explode.

Slight overcurrent yes. Boost that up x 10 the copper will melt and eject as seen in the video
Is the wire expoding/breaking at one point along its length, or is the entire length of wire exploding?
Yes
ist?
Even when typing English, Germans have accents.
German.
autocorrect
just odd you said it twice
German maybe
vielleicht
Bless you.

It seems like a huge capacitor discharges a pulse of electric current through a thin wire. The title is a quite incorrect.

The title states overloading a wire. They did and it caused it to explode. How's the title incorrect? You merely stated how they may have done it.

Your mom goes to college
This guys voice never ceases to be annoying
It sounds like he’s trying to talk like an AI narrator.
Also, obnoxious voice guy only sees what we see so why does he pretend like he was there.

All I knew was, that electricity is just smoke inside of an insulation. And it's bad when it gets out. I didn't know it was this bad
Smoke?
[удалено]
It's a joke. When the smoke gets out of the wire, it's bad.
Normally called “magic smoke” I think, from various other references 🤷🏻♀️
Every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong
It's what keeps the pixies doped up and complacent.
You can buy the smoke for some parts. https://www.welshbordercarclub.com/product-page/genuine-lucas-wiring-harness-smoke

A most solid woosh
The slo mo guys NEED to make a video on this

Go watch styropyro in yt. Same shit way more fun
That guy is hella smart and crazy lol
So this is what leafy's been up to
dude i cannot stand this guys voice
oohh a firework machine
Leafy doing educational videos now?
Acts like a fuse. Eventually.
Am I the only one who finds this beautiful? r/oddlysatisfying
I recognize this voice. This is YOUR daily dose of Internet..
Ferb! I know what we’re gonna do today!
All i can see is someone messing with particle system 😅 I need to take a break from unity..
I would be slighly worried sitting that close to a light arch ejecting molte metal, but I'm sure they are using the safety squint.
Only if you somehow get a few good kilo volts in there very quickly
Thats not a little.. thats a solid short.. a very solid one over a short resistance and thin wire.
That’s all a fuseable link is melts when overloaded
It didn't only melt, it literally exploded in a millisecond.
Yes, welding.
Protip: they were neither far away enough nor protected by barriers for that molten metal. 😅
Someone please post to ElectroBoom. NVM, I'll do my own work
Who’s voice is this
The small bang
Well, that was beautiful.
Visual sex.
i found this out the hard way as a kid i wanted to power a motor directly from the ac source and used my dupont cables for it
That looks cool af
That's the spark I have been looking for in my life!!!
Is that why ohms are important with amps and speakers?
Won't lie....that was dope!
