after seeing you casually play with nitrogen triiodide while waiting in line at a restaurant, I'd argue that you are even more of a treasure lol

What is an okay and where did he show his?
The face of that one technician at the power distribution station as one random household suddenly starts to draw 20kW from grid: Priceless.
One of 2 scenarios:
“Hmmm, intermittent spikes at a random household, must be a glitch in the equipment”
OR
“Hey, Styropyro is at it again”
I think a central air conditioning unit's startup draw is around that; so it would be normal
@@Menuki Honestly I'd guess the local techs all know who he is since he's probably had his hookup upgraded at least twice.
@@kugeltmg In one of apartments I've lived in, the breaker to the unit itself was only a hundred amps. Twelve thousand watts would have cut off the electricity at the power meter, regardless of anything else.
That said, I looked at the breaker box in my apartment now and discovered that the breaker for the dryer is 60 amps and the breaker for the range is 100 amps. So maybe there are higher standards these days.
@kugeltmg of course depends on the size of the air conditioning unit and by extension of the area being serviced by the unit, but no. The heating element or the heat pump providing the cooling draws only a fraction of that kind of power. The fans creating the circulation of air draw a fraction of those two.

Hell I thought next video is going to be an obituary. Glad I was wrong tho.
Styro and Valgear are the two channels that I check in on to make sure they are alive lol
Honestly, the most satisfying part of this video is knowing that the Macrowave can cook a Hot Pocket evenly in 10 seconds and pop a full bag of popcorn in under 30, without burning it.

@@Ornateluna Me and the boys watching the spoons melt in the microwave
Legitimately your videos remind me of old Youtube, in a good way. This isn't trying to appeal to the algorithm, or being loud and bombastic for no reason, or whatever. This feels like how people back in the early days of Youtube would just... do things. And it's pretty cool man. I even like your little throw back to "Is it a good idea to microwave this?" with the egg, one of my favorite og Youtube series. Your cadence, and the fact the video isn't overproduced, and the editing style. I wish more people like you would come back and get popular.
And now it makes sense, knowing you've been around since those days.
Main difference is back then monetization wasn't fully developed yet and people did this out of pocket with no expectation of a return.
He's got nearly 3 million subs which gives him a mega budget to do anything. It's not a bad thing but that's always a background element to everything now.

I actually died at the ''I bought this cute distribution transformer'' HOW
As far as those things go, that IS a cute little one. I've seen a few smaller ~5kVA ones that power only street lights. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm at my farm to see what size they installed for a single 200A (240V) service - that powers a 20A well pump. The one at my shop is 35kVA.
Mad Scientist Ebay. Not available on this dimension's Internet.
Unfortunately we're not allowed to have fun any more, but back in the day (the 90s or so) you could just ask the local power company nicely and they'd give you some decommissioned transformers or let you pick though their dumpster. The transformers are full of oil and cost a bunch of money to recycle (they used to be filled with cancer juice, look up PCBs). Same for the dumpsters, most of the stuff had no scrap value and they had to pay to get rid of it. Old utility poles, crossarms, conduit, so much good stuff.
surplus power line transformers can also be used for neon tube processing... although the neon plant i built has a 20kV Bombarding Transformer specifically designed to be used for neon processing.
He "borrowed" it just for this experiment. The power company always overestimates the load. Who needs that transformer anyway?

This can prevent so many hamsters from being cold.
Is this a Day of the Tentacle reference.. lol
@@MOSMASTERING its a reference to the invention of the modern microwave oven. It was invented to defrost hamsters without burning or killing them. Basically some scientists were freezing hamsters solid to research what would happen to living things when frozen and if we could preserve people without killing them through cryo, and heating them up with. hot metal rod wasnt cutting it, so one scientist built a faraday cage, stuck a magnetron, and defrosted the hamsters that way. Thus, the microwave oven was born.
@@angelpenarolo7408I'm not 100% sure how true that is, from what I understand the "microwaving a hamster" trope was popularized by Maniac mansion, so if it was referenced in the sequel as well that would make plenty of sense.
@@hankglidden1463 Tom Scott made a video on this topic a couple of years ago where he interviewed the original scientist who did this. I recommend you check it out.
@@hankglidden1463this actually is true! Tom Scott did a good video on this a few years back called “I promise this video is interesting” or something like that

It’s so incredible how most of the food is just actually cooking in seconds rather than becoming some burnt emulsified nightmare brick.
a microwave that can cook hot pockets and melt tungsten, interesting
@@recon_laksh742Well it can "melt" tungsten but still seeing other metals to just disappear within seconds is still terrifying
Microwaves do not directly apply heat to the surface of food. Instead, they cause asymmetric molecules to flip back and forth as the wave passes through them. We exploit this to vibrate water which is asymmetric do to the tug of the hydrogen atoms on each other. This excites the water into steam, cooking without burning and without all the delicious flavors that caramelization achieves. Non-conductive symmetric molecules are oblivious to what's going on, even in this legendary oven.
@@recon_laksh742 Forget melting tungsten. This thing crumples empty bags of chips pretty well, space saver for my trash bin!

I haven’t seen a comment like this other than you. I COMPLETELY AGREE IT WAS AWESOME‼️
As microwaves are reflected off the inner metal walls of the appliance, their wave patterns cross each other such that the peaks in the waves tend to fill in the space between peaks of other waves, this creates a more uniform field of peaked energy. Regular microwaves don't do this nearly as effectively because they're 1KW and not 20KW. If I'm speculating, I would say microwave ovens are designed with specific interior dimensions in order to maximize the effectiveness of this phenomina.
