I'm sure there are healthier ways to use the sensor circuit! Or even better other circuits suitable to blow capacitors!

sensor+arduino+8-segment-display=how many people pased or entered or .. or you know what!!! anything!!!

what do younmeen we he doesent know you

You Could Have go to the back and see the park.

What if there was a power switch on the entire device so that it could be safe no matter if it was shaded or not? Then all you need to do is flip the switch when you’re ready. Maybe even run a cable from it so you can activate it from a distance.

Oh absolutely. Lol. Great little sensor circuit and could be used as a basic door entry alarm. A few mods to make the relay stay on for a period of time (say 2 seconds) to sound a buzzer, then turn off.

Mehdi: **gets a well thought out video idea** His capacitors: **sweats profusely**

@Bretton Fergusonnnj

Capacitor:":("

A large capacitor has a fear piss through its pressure relief cap

@Bretton Ferguson | As others have also mentioned, a bot is indeed a better description than spammer. And I’m also getting a lot of these “message me on [whatever]” replies … and I do exactly the same 👍

Nice surprise for the next person that comes in my house. Poundland already sell a motion (Dark/light) detection - plug in light. Will conveniently swap the bulb for a capacitor. Also "Don't try this at home" (Youtube friendly comment) Do it at your mates house

The best part of this is that Mehdi *is* an electrician ... with an amazing sense of humour. :D

Yes they do or at least they are perfectly capable of it. But they do less of it day to day.

@Joe walla no

Electrical Engineers don't do physical work like an electrician.

@SirFlamedrop i wanted to say the same thing. Its like calling yourself a mechanical engineer when being an automotive mechanic.

Actually, he's an electrical engineer as far as I know

I like how at the beginning he's essentially explaining how he'll create a homemade claymore.

"Pranking device"

🤣🤣

nice coment

It's so intriguing to see when Mehdi is very very coutious about something that's very safe but as soon as he gets careless something goes 💥

@Stephen don’t forget that these two claps are on wall power…

Cautious? He's blowing things up next to his face without any safety glasses

I find it sweet that he “accidentally” sets it off himself. I couldn’t do this to my wife either.

I could, but if I did, I would be dead or single...or both.

sad that it didn't work :(

Have some fun, gotta show her your projects somehow

Me too Man.

1:45 Mehdi, you've created an IED. An Intermittently Explosive Device. 😁 8:30 Why not add an "arm" or "enable" switch while you're at it? 🤓

Mehdi!!! Your videos are awesome, my professor used one of your videos during our lecture, you're inspiring a lot of future electrical engineers !!

Your content always makes my day

Mehdi 100% knows the correct way to begin with. He just is such a great teacher to show what happens when connected wrong.

I love that Mehdi's wife is so used to his BS that when he says "Someone" destroyed the sofa she knows it was more than likely him!!

🤣

@Mustang McKraken why would the daughter destroy the couch

@Evercreeper They do have a daughter lol

You love mehdi wife?????🤔🤔🤔

makes me think of russell peters "someone gonna get hurt real bad....someone....i think you know who..."

that extension cord is one of the most durable things in the universe 0:38

You're awesome, Medhi. Love your channel.

This is my first ever video watching this guy, I couldn't stop laughing

Hahahaha this video was so damn funny. Thanks for putting your life on the line, over and over and over. :)

you'll eventually develop electrical resistance, keep doing what you've been doing .. 👌👍👍

Nice breadboard! Definitely going to pick one up to do some of my labs at home. Maybe I can get some extra credit lol.

This was so fun to make(Except the part I got shocked by a charged capacitor)

Mehdi , really enjoy the knowledge in your Jokes🥰🥰

It's honestly interesting to hear Mehdi speaking Persian, and knowing he speaks it with his family too.

I Honestly Wish I Could Afford That Bundle Of Yours, I Could Learn So Much :(

8:35 electroboom was too exited and got himself with his own trap

Mehdi, we sincerely appreciate your risk to life and limb for our entertainment

Ah, Mehdi, scaring yourself with capacitors, classic. XD

Much easier/safer with UK-type switched outlets!

This should use DC voltage to prevent electrocution!

Hi Mehdi, the reason electrolytic capacitors behave diodes when reverse biased is because they actualy are diodes with so bad diode characteristics and so large parasitic capacitance that today we use them as capacitors only. I hope you and other viewers find this info interesting. You can read more about this here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_capacitor#History

Always knew if I followed ElectroBOOM long enough, we'd be taught how to make IEDs. Cheers Mehdi! Now we can all resist the forces of inevitable future invasions, with terrifying tiny explosions!

Brown arab looking guy is a terrourist. Shock

I mean, explosives tutorials are also educational

Yes, great idea, get a funny educator banned by pretending this is an explosives making tutorial and not an educational video 💢

@Leak hahahahaha

EDD mounted.

8:42 bro pranked himself💀

Well, at least he got to prank someone.

I am currently taking and electronics and microelectronics course and goddamn this is hilarious, relatable, and hella educational, you’re a legend...even my lab instructor told us about you 😂😂😂 he say watch you to learn from his mistakes

That amazing

That green screen bit was pretty slick

how about using wireless low frequency as sensor sensors, like car keyless remote?

0:38 The reverb on that haaaah made it 100x funnier!

This was one of the easier to understand projects you've done, so beginners like me particularly enjoyed it. Good stuff.

0:27 gets me everytime.

Yeah you should add a switch so the circuit triggers after you are done with the preparations. At that point you might as well just make it switch from a radio controller

@Jon C Did you just completely ignore what I typed? Important devices have the plug up high and behind the device. Simply not going to be bumped unless someone is literally behind the fridge and waving their arms about. You really need to slow down and actually read before replying. It will prevent you looking this foolish in the future.

@Ian Because a kid can't flip a switch? That's laughable. Of course switched don't magically turn themselves off, that's an idiotic take on the problem. Switches can be bumped by clumsy humans, whether that be a kid switching it on or a cleaner switching the outlet a server (or far worse, a medical oxygen concentrator) is plugged into off. At best, switched outlets are an annoyance. At worst, they're deadly.

@Jon C Wow that is about the dumbest response I have heard for a while. Switches do not just magically turn themselves off. The only things that you would care about being turned off would be a fridge or a freezer and the plugs for them are up high and behind the appliance. So just does not happen unless you choose to turn them off. There is not even the tiniest doubt that switches on wall outlets are safer than outlets with none. This is not debatable mate. Switched off outlets do not kill kids.

@Ian Incredibly silly. I'd be FAR more annoyed if I could accidentally turn off something that should always stay on than that I can't switch off something instead of just, you know, unplugging it. Increase safety? Nope, you can still unplug something that's still turned on. Increase convenience? Nope, you can accidentally turn something off that should stay on. Switched plugs are silly.

@Jon C Yes gee how silly it is to be able to turn on and off each plug. It is only something every Australian uses every day. It increases safety and convenience for every device.

You are teaching in a fun way and way better than 90% of the teachers keep up the good work king 👑

Mehdi has more lives than a cat! (lol)

You can just use an 30-60V power supply, safer and more effective xD

exposed live wires on crocs ! perfect 🤣

8:40 it's like a comedy sketch where the audience all know what's about to happen but it's still funny everytime

@Bob Scott your correct

@Carlo The Atheist is being a atheist your whole personality? Cringe

@Carlo The Atheist That's probably persian

I have to agree. That is pretty funny

@Carlo The Atheist Iranian

8:41 with a blowing capacitor went out a lamp in the left room 😆

"When you want to blow up, it doesn't blow up. When you don't want it to blow up, it does blow up" Engineering in a nutshell.

Also engineer in a nutshell: makes a simple car repair 100x more complicated

Using something like thin wire or string would be much easier and controlablle.. But not for this channel of course! 🤣🤣🤣 We watch it for chaos and shor curcits not for boring manuals!

Man God Save Mehdi, Man's a treasure and must be protected at all costs, just the prank set-up alone was just perfect. 😂

But can god save Mehdi from himself

you are mading my day every time i watch you + i learn something

So this is a nice online guide how to make an IED and that's OK YouTube. Another video elsewhere shows how to make a simple chemical reaction so a regular chemicals from the Walmart can be turned into a bomb. How long it will take to combine these two?

This guy is the only science teacher that any student needs, I've learned more from him than any of my science teachers

If he was my circuits teacher, I’d probably pass better & enjoyed it more

I wonder what his eletrical bill is…

Electro boom, watching your content has inspired me to learn more about electrical circuits. I currently working on a little 100 rpm electric motor running of a 9 volt battery with a potentiometer to control the speed of the motor as a project for one of my high-school classes. Thank you for the inspiration to learn more about these circuits.

I will definitely get one of those bundles from circuitspecialist, always wanted to get into electronics, love watching your videos and it always inspires me to get into it. Though i never really knew where to start, and this bundle is going to be really cool and fun.

and guess who just got theirs in the mail today!!!😁

8:42-8:51 You'll guys thank me later! 🤣😂🤣😂😅👍

Will a arch be picky with being same distance but 3 choices, you, a ground, metal wire. Which will it choose

Bro really pranked himself at the end

might recommend adding remote control turning safety on and off before the sensor sense your own shadow.

I was wondering who he's prank what a twist, Mehdi

Please MEHDI Make a Video On " HOW A QUARTZ WATCH WORKS ". Steve mound made it too tough to understand easily.

Only a real Pro can be so unprofessional, I love it

Dude made a green screen background of his own body.

Only a real Pro can be so unprofessional AND STILL ALIVE, that is.

Are you using flux to clean your soldering iron?? 🤔🤔

🤣this is masterpiece

This guy is great. Normally when I get home from work after dealing with people all day I have a bad attitude and my wife don’t like it. Now when I get home I watch this guy for 10 minutes on my phone in the driveway and always walk in the house with a smile. Thank you from me and definitely a BIG thank you from my wife.

☝️☝️ Thanks for watching and commenting congratulations 🎁 you have been selected among my shortlisted winners............ Telegram only to claim your Price🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁...

200 usd is approximately 16000 inr so that's very expensive I guess 😂😂 I mean I could get those under 7000 inr or something which would be less than 100 usd

I am grateful that you interestingly showed the working of LDR. I used your circuit to design a magnetic particle accelerator model, and even got the first prize in a state level physics model competition. Thanks a lot.

I don't know about electronics but i learned .. karma hits you hard ..that actually make you trip and shit your pants . Lol😂😂😂 Big love @india

Was that an LTT screw driver I see?

"I'm not an explosive expert"

You should offer the breadboard kit with or without the multimeter. Multimeters are very common (I think?) For people interested in this stuff, and people most likely already have one.

Capacitor: why are we still here? just to suffer

Based on the how many subscribers you have, you should make a nice piece of pocket change from that kit. If you get the customary 20% profit and only 0.1 percent of the 5 million views order it.

Ya know the boom's comin whenever he plugs something in but it's still bloody hilarious every time 😂😂

Loads of booms in this one! - brilliant watch!

Congrats on being out of stock on the kit! I'll keep checking back to see when it's back in stock! I love your videos, keep up the good work!

Finally, you spoke persian 😂😂

Me forgetting you don't have switches on your sockets Laughs in GB

More 101’s please. Also, you’ve inspired me to not live in shame of my unibrow anymore. Who cares what my wife says, I want to feel the wind in my brow fur

mono-bruh

@TinkerMaster thats my question 🤔

@Foksiu thats my question 🤔

I am confused because the video was made 4 hours ago and this comment was 19 hours ago.

@William Teuthorn they already DID, man - it's right there in the name!

It's just a prank The prank:

at this point, you deserve the name zeus

Im learning alot from this guy i admire how he teaches us electronics maybe someday ill be like him

Gary can you carry on the Tesla coil wand ? Was just thinking about it

Ending was gold

Orders world wide but it doesn't support (220..240)V, does it?

My man here making IED's with Proximity triggers

Anyone notice that the white boars is upside down ever since he switched to using a virtual one with a green screen?

When switching a relay or other inductive load it is important to add a back-EMF diode or other snubber circuit. If you don't you will likely end up with blown components.

I love that with all his knowledge and expertise he still do some things with trial and error (the brutal funny way that is )😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

8:35 I didn’t know Mehdi can speak another language XD

@Clement Chew He is? Dang, I thought he was from Ukraine

@Lefty Bear Boi VA No. He's actually Iranian Canadian.

@Clement Chew If I remember correctly, He’s Ukrainian

His native language of Persian Iran

If Michael Bay was an electrician.

He's basically creating his own circuits through trial and errors .. . Always has been fun to watch electroboom.. 5years and counting

@Malik Benslimane , yeap same. All though, I think he legit accidentally triggered the trap this time. It looks like he was trying to walk far enough away from the device to not trigger the sensor... and it just wasn't far enough.

It's actually a really basic circuit. I think the trial and error is part of the comedy.

I doubt the errors are real, His projects are well thought out, The "accident" are for educational purposes.

I sometimes think of it as electrical engineering via the slapstick method.

Thank you for a very enjoyable video, I have a newbie interest in electronics but hope to learn and improve in time

You are the best teacher, ever! 😎👍

Fun fact: you can use a fly back transformer to drive fluorescent tubes. All you have to do is connect the high voltage leads across the lamp.

Love the idea of an electronics starter bundle. Wish it had a cool instructions booklet though with some basic experiments, tips and tricks :D

One of your best yet. How I laughed at your prank backfiring, your fall into the sofa, and you forgetting a freewheeling diode across the relay coil! Hilarious, classic ElectroBoom.

I never knew about this channel until I saw the collab with the slo-mo guys, but since I've been watching, this is hands-down the best one I've seen so far. I can't stop laughing :D

Hey electroboom, I’ve been watching your vids from different accounts (my own an my mom’s) for a long time… to be precise, since grade 8… back then I used to watch only for the funny moments….. and now that I’ve finished grade 12… I can proudly say that I understand all the formulas and concepts used and that your vids are really good from an educational point of view Keep booming 😊😊✌🏻✌🏻❤️❤️

This episode was a treat. Thank you.

This was very easy to follow, thank you!

We came for the explosions, stayed for the informative explanations and unusual geeky humour

I love your vids! They have been making me laugh for years!
