    I'm sure there are healthier ways to use the sensor circuit! Or even better other circuits suitable to blow capacitors!
  • @justdario5748
    I like how at the beginning he's essentially explaining how he'll create a homemade claymore.
  • @TheEngieTF2
    Mehdi: *gets a well thought out video idea* His capacitors: *sweats profusely*
  • I find it sweet that he “accidentally” sets it off himself. I couldn’t do this to my wife either.
  • @danielclv97
    "When you want to blow up, it doesn't blow up. When you don't want it to blow up, it does blow up" Engineering in a nutshell.
  • The best part of this is that Mehdi is an electrician ... with an amazing sense of humour. :D
  • @VinayVarsani
    8:40 it's like a comedy sketch where the audience all know what's about to happen but it's still funny everytime
  • @halbvoll1
    Only a real Pro can be so unprofessional, I love it
  • It's so intriguing to see when Mehdi is very very coutious about something that's very safe but as soon as he gets careless something goes 💥
  • I love that Mehdi's wife is so used to his BS that when he says "Someone" destroyed the sofa she knows it was more than likely him!!
  • @blanana_m
    Yeah you should add a switch so the circuit triggers after you are done with the preparations. At that point you might as well just make it switch from a radio controller
  • @melvin7103
    that extension cord is one of the most durable things in the universe 0:38
  • 0:36 I just love how he looks at it with such anger that it can't take it and just blows up.
  • @Jennralize
    Always knew if I followed ElectroBOOM long enough, we'd be taught how to make IEDs. Cheers Mehdi! Now we can all resist the forces of inevitable future invasions, with terrifying tiny explosions!
  • We used to build those little capacitor bombs in high school electronics shop class back in the 1980s. :)

    This guy is the only science teacher that any student needs, I've learned more from him than any of my science teachers
