Hi folks, we’re back in the lab experimenting with what you should never do at home.
Today we experiment with water and high-voltage electricity.
We are always told that your electricity never around to bring water.
But why? What would happen if your electric cables dipped in a glass of water?
The purpose of this video to find out.
For the first experiment, I have this very dangerous unit disassembled to get my electricity grid.
And it is spread over the two wires.
If I let these two wires touch each other, you see that light flickering behind me.
If they do not touch each other, the light is off.
But if the wires touch, the lights go back on.
Now for the first test I have this glass filled with distilled water.
The distilled water should sit anything. It should be pure and non-conductive.
This would mean that electricity would not be able to flow through.
Let’s go see if that is really the case.
Here we go.
Nothing.
So you can see that both wires are completely underwater
And nothing happens to the light. It flickers disagree.
But we will let the wires touch each other under the water and see what happens.
Wow, it made a little noise.
And I saw a little light-electricity and the light went on behind me.
That’s actually pretty cool.
And I can see tiny bubbles coming from the wires.
It makes me wonder if maybe hydrogen bubbles.
Maybe we will have a minimum electrolysis generator here.
Just an update: We have confirmed that distilled water is non-conductive.
We had absolutely no reaction.
So I have my glass filled with tap water to see if there is a difference.
Electricity vs. tap water: here we go.
Oh interesting, look at that!
It looks as though the light enters a bit. It’s not quite on,
but there certainly is an electric current.
If I pull the wires further apart, it is dimmed,
and when I bring them closer together, it is a bit lighter.
That is interesting.
Look, if I move the wires, then flickers the light a bit.
And even these wires are not touching at that. They are simply immersed in water.
Apparently tap water so slightly conductive.
It does not, of course, runs at full power through it, but the water certainly allows for a closed circuit.
Because these wires are not touching each other.
And if you let the wires touch, the light is totally natural light.
That is amazing.
So it’s clear that we do not all get through electricity, but we get some.
That’s very interesting.
I think the concerns about electricity in combination with water coming from a time when people still portable
had heating and that was in the bath or for example a hairdryer.
We must remember that not only bathing water in them.
They also have soap and shampoo in it.
So for the next experiment we will try to add a little bath soap.
and we see what that does.
I make a bathtub martini
It is not dirty yet. That’ll come.
Okay, our wires are live,
here we go.
You can see that the light enters a bit.
Oh yeah, that light is much brighter.
The light is not at full strength but the wires do not touch each other.
Let’s say that flows about 50 to 75 percent of the electricity, but that’s already a lot.
That’s enough to give you a little if you’re in the bath with a normal electrical appliance such as a hair dryer.
So yes, bath soap certainly increases the conduction of water.
Interesting.
So this was actually pretty cool. We saw exactly what electricity of the house did in soapy water.
So I think we should go one step up to high voltage.
Can you remember it? This is a big old converter for fluorescent lamps.
Here comes 12 000 volts of electricity, but it is currently limited to 30 milliamps.
These are the kinds of things that big neon signs you see with electricity in the city.
Nowadays, if you ever go to a fast food restaurant or any other business,
you’ll probably see some sort of neon sign.
This still get electricity from a neon converter, but with newer technologies
they can give the same amount of electricity as they weigh far less.
Now I’m going to do a shout-out to my friend Jerem.
He is the one who gave me this neon sign but sadly enough the broken
so we can not do as much with it except with the converter on the back.
get set for this converter, we need to collect it from the board
as far as cutting,
and then stripping the cable such that the cable inside narrow emerges.
Now the voltage we used just our house was 120 volts.
This, however, does produce ten to twelve volts.
Exponentially higher.
And that’s why high voltage switchgears have such thick rubber.
So for the last experiment today I want to demonstrate the power of high voltage.
I have this glass fully cleaned and dried as we go back to distilled water,
which theoretically is non-conductive.
So how would operate at high voltage distilled water?
We will notice.
There are some important things that we need to know about high voltage.
Number 1: it is so powerful that it can flow through air.
In a normal electrical circuit, the wires need to touch each other.
But at high voltage.
High voltage in the air and forms its own electrical bridge.
Which means thin gloves as they will not protect you,
So even if you wear gloves, high voltage may still flow through your body.
Lucky 30 mA is not enough to stop your heart, in theory,
but we want to risk rather not walk so if you’re working with high voltage
it’s a good idea to do one hand behind your back and work with others.
We want to prevent electricity flowing through our hearts.
High voltage electricity versus distilled water, let’s see what happens.
I first immerse the end of the wire in water,
and then the second then see what happens.
Ooh, look at that!
The distilled water does not conduct electricity only,
but elektrciciteit actually jumps into the water before it contacts.
When I get one wire around the other shows, you can hear it humming.
And if I go a bit further
are just small purple lightning bolts that shoot toward the water.
It’s so cool!
If we immerse the second, then it disappears. I feel the fact still buzzing.
Let’s get it out slowly.
Oh wow, you could see the water on the wire was sticking?
That’s weird.
That’s very cool!
I did not expect that.
So this was something that I did not expect, but
once I pull wires out of the water indicates that the water is attracted to the electricity.
At least 1.9 centimeters from the surface and then then fall right back into the glass.
Look, I can do both simultaneously.
That is awesome! It’s as if I pull up to the surface.
Wow, what if I bring them closer together?
So apparently the water is more conductive than air,
because if I keep the two wires close together, close to the surface of the water,
Prefer the water will then pass through the air.
That’s very interesting.
These small bridges we make are cool!
It does not matter where I hold the wires in the glass,
because the electrical pattern remains the same
I can bring them far apart closer together.
It does exactly the same.
I can see shades of green.
That’s pretty cool huh!
I will do it again.
Okay, we probably have too much fun.
We should stop.
This was a very cool experiment and quite unexpectedly with the water coming up.
Of course the real question: how tastes distilled water after it has been electrocuted?
It’s very warm.
I think there are pieces of wire in it.
Very interesting.
It is warm top and bottom cold.
It tastes electric.
Let’s summarize what we learned today.
There is nothing in distilled water except the water itself and naturally it will conduct no electricity.
Then we tried normal water and guided though a little electricity.
We then tried to add bath soap, and we saw that it worked even better.
Eventually we went again using distilled water, but this time with higher voltage
and we saw that even if water is non-conductive, it still conducts high voltage.
Thank you were again,
a big shout-out to my friend Jerem for giving this neon sign.
See you in the next video.
