About

I’m not holding a fake head!

Hi! To all the crazy engineers out there, you are not alone!

Frankly, engineering is partly fun and mostly boring stuff like testing and documentation. It only takes a healthy dose of craziness to make everything fun and you also learn more, sometimes!

Just don’t forget, I am a professional and (probably) know what I am doing most of the times! I have a bachelor degree in Electronics/Telecommunications (University of Tehran) and Masters degree in Micro-Electronics (Simon Fraser University) and years of experience designing and building electronics. So hopefully I can keep myself safe! But if you try what I show, you may get badly injured or even die! So don’t try to do what I do at home. Just learn by watching.

The fact that I made my first YouTube video back in 2012 and survived this far is a great testament to the existence of miracles!! I love making stuff and communicating, so I shall keep taking the risk!

  2. How do I get rid of static shock especially in winters? I keep getting electric shocks whenever I touch anyone, touch door knobs, getup from my couch and many more.
    AM I AN ELECTROMAN?????

    • if you’re rubbing your feet on something while wearing socks, that’s going to generate most of it =).
      If you’ve touched anything that feels like it’s emitting some static charge on you (eg plastic bags, styrofoam, etc)…

      when you get shocked you’re being discharged, so if you want to get shocked less — i’d touch more metal things each time I walk around in order to minimize the amount of shock.

  3. Just stumbled across a video of yours on Youtube — and now I’m hooked. You are brilliant – thank you for sharing your passion and humour.
    The world will be a better place if future generations of science teachers take inspiration from you.

  4. Can you make a video about Edison? I saw your video about ACvsDC and there were multiple serious defamatory inaccuracies such as blaming him for the electric chair or for killing Topsy the elephant. I know this is a comedy channel first and foremost, but it is a bit rude to speak ill of the dead without them being able to defend themselves from your defamation.

  5. Hey huge fan.
    Been subscribed for 3-4 years now.. just wanted to let you know in a friendly matter as I’m sure you get trolled. But your heater install didn’t meet the CEC electrical code. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you and I can provide you a copy of the current CEC code book if you were interested.

  10. Hi Bro, Big fan of your.
    recently i tried emulating your Full BRIDGE Rectifier circuit on Yenka and apparently Diode 1, 3 and 4 blowup as well as the 30mH Toroid inductor. Could you help me out plz.
    If you want I can send you an image of what I;ve done, can I plz get your email for that.

  11. Hi Mehdi,
    I have an old tape player/radio which I am trying to fix. I suspect it has an inductor issue as audio is not coming out of the speaker but the speaker is confirmed to be working when I connected it to a difference source. How do I figure out what is the inductor rating when it doesn’t say on the inductor? How do I know if the inductor is good or bad? This inductor is connected to one terminal of the speaker. The speaker is rated 8 ohms and .75 watts I would greatly appreciate it if you can rectify this.

  20. Hi Mehdi,
    Your video “Impossible Active Audio Noise Cancelling by Muzo” from 2017 just came up in my feed and had me thinking about something similar – the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).
    LRADs have been used by border patrol and emergency services for over 10 years. More recently they have been used by dictators on their own citizens.
    The device appears to be based on a center speaker surrounded by 4 or more out of phase speakers which take the dispersed signal from the center speaker and focus the sound waves into an intense narrow beam.
    Can you give it a go please?

  21. Hi Mehdi, I work for a Raytheon Canada branch in Ontario. Sometimes they give away meters, tools, and components that are no longer being used to staff. Would you like me to scrounge for you? I can let you know whenever something interesting is available if you like. I’ll send you a pic of the item and if you want it, I’ll send it by mail. I’m in Ontario.

  24. Hi Mehdi,
    What about this one?

    Could it work like that? It’s not really about electronics but it states it’s free energy so I thought you could have a look on it. It even boast that, unlike many other videos on YT, it is not a fake. Concept looks convincing but I can think of several reasons why it could not work like this.
    So is it fake or not? Could you please check it?

  26. Hello Mehdi,
    Big fan of yours. Your videos nowadays are becoming well-edited but your main quality(of entertaining us) is gradually decreasing, I mean actually your videos are not as funny as you made it before. I am basically a great fan of yours and hope you would get my information and audience review from me.
    And also please make a live stream for us, since its quarantine nowadays.

  27. Love the videos! Thanks for explaining things!
    I wondered about the newest crazy (or maybe old) about “clean energy”. I was looking at a product to help with THD from my home generator, and came across something called “Perfect Power Box” from a company called Satic. I can’t find any relevant videos showing that it really works (i.e. Oscilloscope showing wave forms in and after this product). Seems like just a lot of placebo effected folks posting “it really works”. As well there’s no mention of how this device works (does it use Capacitors? Shunts?). Have you ever heard of this item?

    • you might burn yourself but it wont shock you. that works the same way as a stovetop, electricity flows through the resitance (the curly thing) and the flow of electricity makes the resistance heat up and boil the water.

  35. Hello, Mr. Sadaghdar! First of all, thanks for showing me that there are more crazy people in the world. Second, wanna share a thought that occurred to me yesterday moments before bed: FREE ENERGY!!!!!!!
    LOL, no, don’t erase this yet!! LOL! Let me explain: I was thinking about another way to store energy generated from wind and sun, other than chemical batteries or flywheel and I thought about digging a very deep hole and drop a very heavy metal thing inside and generate energy from the fall of this very heavy thing. OMG, I AM A GENIOUS, I thought. Then I took my cellphone and 10 seconds later, Google said to me that this device already exists, obviously. But, I was not able to find the subsequently “what ifs”, like: What if I fill this hole with water, make a very hydrodynamic shape to the very heavy metal thing, install a gas cylinder somewhere and when the very heavy metal think hits the bottom, a balloon is filled with gas from the cylinder and goes up again using counter attraction, or buoyancy (never heard this word, don’t even know if it fits). See? Scratched your head a little? Or it’s just me? Well, I like unclogging wires, and bit brushing. I like to reverse-engineering everything. My wife goes mad all the time with my experiments (most likely with the mess I usually left on her table) and I am a professional car tuner and electronic fuel injection modules repair technician. At least I was, until this crazy virus appears, but, well,…
    I hope you read this. It’s been almost two days in my head, and tomorrow some other random thought is gonna replace this crazy idea before I found someone to make the calculations for me. And I know you are never gonna read this, or if you do, it will only make you laugh, which for me, is very satisfactory!!
    Thanks again for every second of educational entertainment you provided for me so far!!

    • No free energy here unfortunately. As the mass is falling through the liquid, there’s a lot of energy lost from friction. Which will increase as the hydrostatic pressure increases. So part of its original potential energy is spent doing that. Now, returning the mass back up to the top (the original potential energy state) will require the exact same amount of energy spent as it fell. Examining the system from the macro view – the energy used to pump enough air into a balloon to generate the buoyant force large enough to lift that mass against gravity and friction as it moves, will be the exactly same energy it generated getting to the bottom (in an ideal world). With real world thermodynamic irreversibiilities (energy losses) like heat, will always make this a system that requires a net input. Now, that’s true for all electricity generating systems. But for humans some forms of energy are more abundant and less valuable so we are okay to spend such an energy cost because we create something more valuable in terms of human money. Like using uranium jammed full of nuclear force energy to create electricity. We are only getting a small fraction of the original energy in the uranium turned into electricity but that’s okay because we want to electricity more. In your system, we are spending more electricity then we are gaining, therefore no monetary gain so no overall benefit to humans.

  41. Absolutely love your vids! Rewatching the old still hasn’t gotten old! I do have a question though. What do you think about building a “simple” switching power supply (could be as simple as dc-dc converter down- or up-converting from a 12v battery). I ask because as a kid I could not buy my own equipment for projects so I spent years teaching myself everything I know and just built almost every piece of lab equipment I needed over time with almost no money. I just want every kid that have to grow up with an interest but never able to practice anything to have a chance to learn as much as possible with very little money. 99% of electrical projects usually start with a varible power supply. Thanks for everything you’ve done so far!!

  52. I think you are a genius !

    To be able to pretend to be clumsy when everything is controlled and understood is genius for me, you the Leonardo of experiences that allows us to be safe from you visually what would result from the hazardous attempts of non-professionals or not able to understand what is happening and to see the consequences through humour without human death and for that you are according to me and for me in any case a real genius of popularization.

    I don’t know you, I don’t know how you do it but I love your videos because I always laugh at least once while learning things without taking any risk for my life.

    The only thing that scares me sometimes is to see youtubers who don’t know you take you for an idiot and believe that everything is not controlled and it’s scary sometimes to see their opinion.

    But thanks for your videos that I don’t always watch, I admit.

  60. Amazing no BS videos. Great work esp from teaching perspective.

    Two major (and I think related) questions I was hoping u could explain well in a video.

    I have been trying to understand the concept of AC wiring and the nomenclature of LIVE and neutral. Almost seems like neutral is, once load is active, is LIVE.? I have watched tons of YouTube videos on AC and AC generation and I thought I understood it but this livewire concept I cannot get my head around.

    Question 2 monopole antennas don’t seem to make circuit… Yet somehow the electrons oscillate in antenna. It seems with AC, and voltage can be created without a loop circuit

    Not sure if questions makes sense.

    • 120 v is dangerous because of its too much voltage and its in AC form.
      capacitor depends on their value what you pick that stuff to decide the V and macrofaranit

  69. Dear Mehdi Sadaghdar
    I’m a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, of the Federal University of Paraná – UFPR.
    Our University stays in south of Brazil and we have little money to equip our labs for undergraduates and high school students to visit us and learn what an Electrical Engineer does.
    I had your contact through one of my students, who follows his videos and debates about electrical science, and we saw that it can be a great opportunity for us to share some experience, not only with obtaining materials to equip our laboratory, but also future work. especially in the fields of atmospheric electricity, renewable energy, and electrical circuits.
    Therefore, I am at your disposal to answer any further questions, and we look forward to your cooperation, given the availability of our orders.

    Our list of possible acquisitions was sent by google forms address.

    Best Regards

    Prof. Armando Heilmann, Dr.

    • Whaaaaaaa? Isn’t this state where everything is always “a model” (the model city, the model hospital, model bus stops (the tubes)? Go for your model University Dean and ask lab equipment for your model lab…
      And then you come here in broken English and flatout ask for gear???
      Not even tried some partnership…. no nothing…
      You know, your fellow paranaenses to fund you, before your president close the University at once (your state had 69% votes for him)….
      Or ask for the corrupt judge to instead of de-tax tobacco, properly fund the research!

      But there’s an final solution, make that little GUN gesture for your president, salute the American flag and I guess you can get all the gear you need.

    • You can take isolated christmas lights with batteries (which uses batteries and low voltages 1.5-9V), and don’t be afraid to throw it into water 😉
      Or you can find lights for pools, which have enough IP protection class.

    I have idea for a video,
    using tiny85 chip (with 3.3v battery) in order to use it as a low power watch to switch (arduino or wemos d1 chip on/off – those run on 5-6v) that will be used to control via wifi air condition that have only IR control.This way you can control it even if you are not in the house 🙂 example turn it on 30m before you are home 🙂
    the whole idea is to be turned on/off every 15-30 min for few seconds to check and in need to send commands to air conditionar.

    I found videos of two motors tied together so that one of them acts as a generator, for a continuous circuit (never ending energy).
    Of course, it didn’t work… Or it did work, for others.
    But I don’t trust any of them.
    I trust you!
    Can you do that? And add a gear in between so the rotation to be double at the other end? Maybe this way it will work. Or it will explode. Either way, it would be a great video!

  106. In a video about dc motors you’ve told that they can act as a generator. Turning the axle generates electricity that can be measured on the output wires. (or input depending on how you look at it). My question is, if you use the dc motor as a motor. You put electricity in it which in turn makes it run. I would assume according to the previous statement that electricity is also generated since the axle is spinning. How does this add up? You put electricity in it, but also generate it at the same time, or am I missing something?

  114. Hello, Mehdi! My name is Guilherme Braz. For me, you’re the funniest guy when I saw your best videos!
    I can call you of “The man of the hillarious eletrecity” and always, I say “FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!” just like you.
    I’m from Brazil and I forever watch your videos!
    Sometimes, you’re funny, but the important thing is you’re a genius!
    Thanks, Mehdi, and had fun!

  116. Love your channel with it’s mix of fun (for viewers), danger, and good information.

    I think capacitive power supplies would be an interesting (and dangerous) topic for you to cover. Naturally, they’re usually a bad solution but they’re occasionally worthwhile.

    In case I used the wrong term, this is the kind of thing I’m speaking of.

  122. Hi I saw your video on the taser and would like to downscale it. Would it be possible to switch a voltage converter 240 to 120 and switch it to 120 to 240 and be able to generate enough voltage to creat a arc that wouldnt kill someone if I wanted to zap them

  126. Hello!

    What do you think about the powerstar?

    It claims to save electricity by optimizing the current for your devices. The “extra” current or overvoltage is then send back into the grid as kilowatt hour.

    first af all let me say that im a big fan of yours and im a subscriber since the early days of youtube. i think i became subsriber around 2012.
    anyway, i have a problem. it seems my computer is infected with something that when i open youtube after 1 second it goes to YOUR pole page and keeps refreshing every 1 second. i tried to locate the problem using malware bites in safemode with no sucsess. do you know anything about this. does anyone ever mentioned this to you?
    if u see this and you have time send me an email. thanks in advance.

  136. Hey Medhi! What about you create your own patented DC-AC inverter? You know since they have all the same crappy reverse polarity protection… I wanted to buy one of those but I resigned to do so and I tough; what about I build my own … Before setting the house on fire I’ve decided to wait to see if a real engineer could build one and just “borrow” his circuit… Actually I would build it at school so my house wont set on fire and i’ll make the school pay for it…. I can’t wait to deplete my dad car battery! Please make my dream come true!!!

  138. Hey Electroboom,
    I’m a High School junior in NY, and in a competition some friends of mine and I recently entered, My team and I have been challenged to activate a motor using an IR signal and receiver with any programming or programmable parts, but we are lost on how to design such a circuit. As far as I know (and I don’t know much) you are the expert. I would greatly appreciate if you could give some suggestions on how to properly design this. Please, I’ll even pool some money to purchase your patented extreme workout belt and I’ll explain what a full bridge rectifier is to anyone who’ll listen.
    Thanks in advance, Daniel C.

    • Hope you don’t mind someone else answering (I’m a hobbyist, and used to work as an LV Telecom engineer). Since it’s a school challenge, can’t give you too much but here is a start:

      Look for popular micro-controller set ups that people are talking about online, there are a few big ones, and they are generally based around the Atmel ATMega series micro-controller. From there ir isn’t too difficult, but for a motor you need a driver, I recommend looking into L293D it is a DC motor driver.

      This should get you an idea of what to look for, and if you can figure out a micro controller setup, there are many guides online that teach how to use them.

      Hopefully this helps to some degree 🙂

    So in the Uk we have 230v AC at 50Hz as our mains supply, so mains devices use that.
    However my question is can i run 50hz devices on a 60Hz generator at 230v?
    Many thanks

  151. Regarding your video on disagreeing with Lewin on Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law:

    The reason why Kirchhoff’s law doesn’t hold in the case of a changing magnetic field is that currents are not only caused by voltages (i.e. differences in electric potential). Consider a ring of resistors and a changing magnetic field which causes a current. Clearly all voltages in the ring of resistors will have the same sign and thus not sum up to zero. The voltage between two points of the ring must be U=R*I. The current I is the same for the entire ring, but the resistances can be different in the two paths connecting the points, so the voltages can be different too.

    Kirchhoff’s law is like walking a mountainous closed path: Adding up how much you ascend and descend on a closed path must result in zero. But you’re not measuring altitudes: You’re measuring current flows and deducing altitude differences from that measurement. If the currents are not caused by altitude differences, but for example by a pump, then you will deduce that the altitude difference is always down or up along the closed path, but that is a nonsensical result. It’s the same with Kirchhoff’s voltage law.

  154. Hi, I am Jit from India, I want to know if I took two electric power metre and connect two load(ex bulbs) such a way that line wire is from one and neutral from another. So if I turn on the load then how those metres give kWh measurements?

    Reply ↓

    • It charges faster because the power supply (the box) can not only output 5 volts (normal charging power) but 9 volts (fast charging power). Phones can only use fast charging if the phone was built with that comparability. If you tried to force 9v on a phone without fast charging capability, I’m pretty sure you could fry the phone. I’m also sorry if my English is a little sloppy, I’m 5 beers down lol

  177. Dear Mehdi,

    My son and I love to watch your videos! He is in high school and you have helped spur his interest in electrical engineering. I sincerely thank you for this.

    He and I were talking about something very puzzling to us–
    how do electrons flow in AC? And is this flow different than in DC?

    We are trying to figure out how electrons move from a battery source through the wire when the current is DC versus when it is AC. Not the conventional current but the actual electron movement. And how this movement is connected to Amps, Voltage, electric field and magnetic field.

    Perhaps this would be a good topic for your new series, ElectroBOOM101.

    Thank you!

    Patrick

    Reply ↓

    • In DC, the electrons move in one direction only from the negative battery terminal to the positive.

      In AC, electrons move first in one direction and then they reverse and move in the other direction.

      Reply ↓

    • Hi at this point you have probably already seen his video on ac/DC current but to answer your question in DC electrons move in a sort of straight line at a constant voltage like this – .however in AC electrons move normally in a sin wave where the wave peaks and valleys. Sort of like this ~. Of course that isnt the only type of ac wave bit that’s essentially the basics of it hoped this helped.

  235. Hi,

    I’m in Burnaby and was wondering if I could hire you to help me get more life out of my coast headlamp.

    They advertise battery life to be 3hrs on bright and more than 7 on low.

    I use the headlamp at work (automotive mechanic) but I find that after 1.5hrs that I need to swap the batteries. It’s a pain in the ass to have to constantly swap 3 aaa batteries.

    I’m hoping that with your electronics background, that you might be able to design & integrate a bigger battery pack so that I can use the headset for 3-5hrs at full brightness, without having to recharge. The bigger pack would still need to retain charging capability.

    I love your channel… but play safe!

  246. Hi Mehdi,

    A friend shared your FOOOLL bridge rectifier video with me yesterday and I love it!!! I went ahead and spent all day yesterday watching all your videos – they’re both educational but mostly, hilarious!

    Your “mistakes” remind me of one day when ants infested my DSLR camera. I popped open the flash unit to find that the ants also ate away at the insulation for the flash strobe wires. For some dumb reason, I touched it. “Aaaiighhh!! *Expletive*” I then realized I forgot to take the battery out of the camera. Stupid me. So I took the battery out and then touched it again. “Aaaaiiighh!! *More expletives*” I then figured the camera was demon-possessed so sent it away to a service center. It turns out that the capacitors weren’t discharged even though I took out the battery.

    I’m studying Aircraft Electronics in college now and I think I have a much better idea how electricity, AC and DC, works. Your videos help me get through my Electronics homework. Thanks!

    i was just wandering if can this be happen:
    http://amasci.com/emotor/chargdet.html
    by using the schematics in this website, a field effect transistor(FET) and uses as electric charge detector. then use the electric charge detector to detect lightning discharge by electric interference during lightning storm..
    if i’m not mistaken, this can be use to detect electrical discharge in the air and use a resistor and a voltmeter to record the reading the electrical discharge..
    i just want to hear whats ur opinion about this..
    i would like to built some,but i just cant find the MPF102 Field Effect Transistor (FET) in my country..need some advice from someone expert.

    Reply ↓

    • It could work, but I would add some more components. A series 820 Ohm resistor with LED to make sure it is current limited and doesn’t kill the transistor, and another one, 1M or more from transistor gate to ground to ensure the transistor discharges and turns off when there is no charge.

  273. Without electrocuting yourself, could you explain what 3 phase service, or power is? I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. Love the video’s. Thank you for teaching us all.

  274. The videos and acting are fantastic! When I can see through the tears of my laughter, I actually learn something. The PWM diagram somehow sunk into my memory.
    Thanks!

    I have been trying to learn electronics (as a biologist). I am impressed how fast the processors can make measurements. For example, a ultrasonic range detector can make some numerous measurements every second. It might make a humor-filled learning video by setting up a fast moving actuator to test the limits on the speed of measurements.

    BTW, West Coast or East Coast?

  277. Mehdi,

    What do you do for a living? I recently got a job as an Electronics Engineering Tech and I’m loving it!

  278. love your stuff, and you have a cool work place!! one day i wish to be surrounded with stuff like yours…

    some ideas
    Can you show what happens when you reverse the current on a capacitor
    can you pass current through a gas like argon?
    can you over spin a DC motor or AC motor?
    why is 3 phase more efficient? does 477 VAC hurt?
    does water in an isolated container act as a capacitor or resistance and if you have pure h2o is it less or more conductive. (browns gas)
    unfortunately i know the answers to most of these but they could be fun for others.

  279. Dude… Thanks to you I am even more proud to be an geek !!!

    Keep on experimenting in the name of science !!

    Here is a suggestion ….watch an LED go through the different colors of death after applying a voltage above spec !!

    • “The colors of death” on LEDs are very nice.
      So if you just do not have the right colors at hand: overvoltage some red or white ones….

  280. I’ve gotta ask, are those mistakes real or staged for “educational/comedic purposes”?
    I can’t tell if you’re ballsy or dumb.
    A riot either way! Cheers!

    • Of course I am ballsy, who ever admits they are dumb?!
      Well, I know what I am doing (I hope!) and try my best not to hurt myself. So if you can’t tell, it means I am a good actor!

  287. It’s 3 AM and I almost peed a little watching your videos. I mean, a lot of it is simple “don’t cross wires” stuff but still. I cried a little during the “This is not steve. Wrong number” bit.
