You can really see the spark of creativity with this idea

Certainly won’t have any resisrance
I’m pretty amped about it!
Great Scott! This meme has summoned the Super Dads!
Well it does have potential

What happens next will SHOCK you
shocking dicovery
And quite current
Hot!
this one truly does spark joy…
Is there a just rolled into the shop on Lemmy yet?
I think the handle’s a little short
The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes
He might be schocked by a batteries potential
While making such devices, one should be grounded to reality to avoid making such mistakes
We don’t know. There is no banana for scale.
Banana plugs for scale
The three types of circuit:
- short circuit
- long circuit
- banana circuit
Quick hand warmer.
And warmer!
I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for “focus on what you’re doing” or something.
Reminds me of this.
It’s a suicide cord. Works great for generators
In short, this is a battery handle.
It will unleash the battery’s potential
Might be terminal though
Perhaps, but I think we’ll see a high level of resistance.
That might be a hot take.
Are you positive? It’s a negative over here
Correct, horse!
Battery staple.
Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.
It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)
You can also get that from just the label. The CCA rating (cold cranking amps) is the max current that specific battery can supply in short bursts. 600 CCA is pretty typical, but I’ve seen up to 900 in the batteries I ship.
Is it really 600 amps? That seems rather high. I do know that the one time I shocked myself on a car battery, it rocked my world much more than getting shocked by a 110v outlet.
V = IR Assuming 12.6V 12.6 = I* 0.02 I = 630
So yeah, it could hit 600A, if only until it got hot enough to melt something or change the chemistry
Well that explains why it hurt so much.
My guess is you were burned more than shocked.
Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won’t get stuck in it.
Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.
Hmm. Giving it away a bit here. He cringes well before it discharges.
Obviously, Mehdi is an electrical engineer. The “dumb guy making things explode” is a persona he puts up to teach people about the dangers and wonders of electricity.
That’s… immensely cool. I wish him luck in his dangerous endeavors.
Does he have a youtube channel or sth
ElectroBoom, 6 million subs if I’m not mistaken
ohhhhhhh I’ve heard that name, but I’ve never watched him.
I should.
Oh he new it was gonna be spicy
It was the last thing they made
With that hand, anyway.
Ooo a budget space heater
I was going to say, automatic heating on the handle. Nice features!
Took me a min to realize…
I am a “ask me anything” Tech, ask me anything!
How long can you hold the handle once it’s attached to a fully loaded battery?
For the rest of your life
Not really. You’re not gonna get a shock, you’ll just get very severe burns.
Why does it smell like BBQ in here?
If it’s plastic, then it’s fine.
A bit of copper would spice things up
It can melt plastic does that count?
Plastic isn’t a conductor, so the current wouldn’t travel between the posts across the handle.
Metal is a conductor and would get very hot in a dead short melting plastic.
Yes but it wouldn’t short because the current from one terminal would not travel across the plastic handle to the other
I was making a joke using the metal handle and melting plastic, instead of using the plastic as the handle.
better if it’s rubber
that’s a killer gadget!
