Is it the volts or amps that kill?

Everything very well explained! Thanks!

as a guitar player, amps only kill if you drop it on someone

I love how he always sounds like hes super excited and dead inside simultaneously

Bro this guy is like that one kid in class who can absolutely beat you up but he won’t because he’s so nice

sign of a good engineer does deadly stuff but still alive

"I'm not an electrician or an engineer, but I do have a bunch of terrifying electrical devices" this man is a national treasure

As a qualified electricity professional, I can definitely tell you that zappy things go ouchie.

If that tesla coil wont kill you, your electric bill will :D

As an electrician who actually cares about learning electrical theory, It makes me laugh when I read the comments about how "I work with electricity professionally" and stuff like as if driving a car makes them knowledgeable about how a combustible engine works. Just because you twist wires or even solder microchips, it doesn't mean you know everything about electricity. In school we learn that 15 miliamps can kill. But that's literally the minimum. We rarely put warnings on disconnects if they are 120/208v, but we do if its 277/240 or more. In fact I am extremely careful the higher the voltage, not so much the higher the amps. Its a common joke with my first boss who trained me that if anyone says that amps kill over volts, then we both know they truly don't understand how it works. Its very complex and beautiful in its own way. Thanks for keeping up this argument.

I love that pyro's defense for everything he claims is "well I'm not dead", and it's actually a super valid one.

We should spread more misinformation in the comments so Styro can upload more of these cool demonstrations!

7:54 What is that editors note?! Lmao

“Total incident energy” is the term we use. Mostly pertaining to arc flash energy in Cal/cm^2 to determine the minimum level of thermal resistant body suit class and electrically insulating gloves to prevent shock. Had a lot to do with voltage but some to do with max current output and ground fault protection in place. All factors have to be considered

I love how so many of us half jokingly say "I'm so glad Styropyro uploaded another video, because that means he didn't electrocute himself" and Drake just drops "testing high voltage electricity my haters say is lethal on myself"

Thank you brother, I love this as it cleared all dilemmas I had about this issue , you are one of my favourite scientist ❤

hes explaining his anger with a smile in the first few parts. absolute madness, its great.

Styropyro has the most sober crackhead energy I’ve ever seen. Like well spoken, up beat friendly dude. Let’s disco with death and play with lightning bolts lmao. Very smart very creative guy, love his uploads and personality. The dude is a YouTube gem 💎

It's like arguing what kills: a bullet, weight or velocity. Well, all of it combined.

Bro knows more about this than 90% of the engineers I went to school with including me

You're such a brilliant guy. Proud of you for everything you've put out there. And taught me alot😮
