To all 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 know what I am doing most of the times! 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.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

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.
Thanks for the ideas Hal. Keep them coming!
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 !!
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!
Engineer Hard or Die Trying
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!
I just loved – keep doing this clips it is really funn.. But remember to take care of yourself!
Saw you on boingboing – bravo! The world needs more engineers with a sense of humour…
Your awesome dude! On the road to fame, keep it up! Mexicano de houston voss! Just so you know how your spreading
Nice videos. Keep it up and hope u can produce more awesome vids
Keep up the awesome work . Your videos are AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Your videos are fun and educational and good way to learn about physics.You make physics seem interesting and fun. I can’t wait to see more of your crazy physics videos
you are brilliant. Keep it up. I would love longer videos that teach stuff to lay people like myself who think this stuff is cool.
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.
Aghaye Sadaghdar,
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Keep it up!
Cheers from an Iranian-American
Great comedy! I haven’t laughed so hard in ages … you put anything on comedy central to shame. Thanks.
Mehdi, your video, which I discovered today, is awesome. Thank you! Are you on Twitter?
Keep this up, dude, you’re awesome!, cheers from Venezuela!.
I’ll give you $10,- if you redo the ESD movie with 50kV
You are a genius. Brilliant comedy. Please keep it up.
