In this video, I talk about some of the dangers when working with electricity, and especially when making fractal art on wood with electricity.

I remember someone on YouTube saying "Welcome to the world of high voltage, where everything is a wire and you might die"

This has to be my new favourite channel. I only discovered you a few days ago. I have been using some of your clips in my classroom for science because you make interesting real life connections. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Yeah, those microwave oven transformers most people use are death traps even for those who understand what they're doing. I've just bought a 250,000v 50,000w power supply for X-rays and it's probably going to be another 3 months of weekends working on safely setting everything up before I'm even going to consider plugging it in. These types of projects just aren't worth it unless you have a genuine need.

As a welder, I've seen electricity do some crazy stuff.

The magnificence and terror of electricity!!! One day as a teenager, I was watching a worker from the electric company in the bucket of the cherry picker. For some reason he pulls out his tape measure and extends it up towards the transformer and then boom... He got hit so hard it kicked him out of the bucket and fell about 15ft.... Run across the street to him and had to give him chest compressions until he came too...

Microwave transformers are no joke, but one thing a lot of people miss is that you HAVE TO UN-BOND THE SECONDARY WINDING! Normally the secondary is NOT isolated from ground, it's bonded to the transformer core with a rivet. You have to cut that bond off and then you'll have SOME amount of isolation from 2400V at half an amp, albeit it will still often arc through the Kapton paper insulators and the winding insulation to kill you anyway if your path to ""isolated"" ground is low enough resistance. Best bet is a PLASTIC ammo can full of mineral oil with the terminals on opposite ends, and a power switch all the way over at the WALL PLUG so you can't turn it on while touching something hot. Or get a transformer that doesn't put out the kinda crazy amperage a MOT does, or better yet, just DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE FOR A DANG PIECE OF WOOD.

In short, the voltage is too high if it can arc across two inches of air, and, also, you probably have a fire hazard if you have something that close that electricity can arc across.

Tesla had an interview one day, and beforehand, had a lightning bolt shoot 100 ft across the room, entering his chest, and exiting his foot. The interviewer noted that he was wincing in pain but still made the appointment.

It’s not a lack of understanding. It’s an abundance of being comfortable. I think of it this way. I’m a Florida man, I catch venomous snakes weekly, play with gators. I’ve been bit, and intravenously injected by reptiles. You don’t get hurt when you avoid danger

I assume based on how moist that piece of wood is also affects how well it transfers electricity. Yes wood doesn't conduct electricity however water does and wood does contain Trace amounts of moisture so under the right circumstances I'm sure you could get electrocuted.

What is an insulator? It is a material with an extremely high resistance. What is voltage? It's a measure of electrical "pressure". With a high enough voltage electricity will be pushed through any insulating material. Also, the wet wood is much more conductive than dry wood.

I have done it but would I tack nails into the wood and stand back at least 5-6ft or more and use an extension cord to plug in the microwave transformer. I did go to school for a little bit for electronics and know how dangerous that kind of amperage is that's running through those.

Here's how smart I am...smart enough to stay away from capacitors, power lines, and especially something as absolutely unnecessary and dangerous as "fractal wood burning". Sounds as safe as Naked Asphalt Skidding.....makes no sense.

It's long ago but I think I once saw the floor standing 3 phase dough mixer arc to the stainless steel table.

This is exactly how my best friend died. He was using a transformer out of a microwave. Plugged it in and died instantly.

Wood don't normally conduct electricity but if the pitch in the wood is of adequate wood-to- pitch ratio it will be collectively conductive indeed. Additionally, the moisture present in wood acting with wood's electrolytic mineral constituents are ark assistive culprits as well.
