Photonicinduction's videos fulfill the wild mad electrical engineering fantasies I never had the guts to try as an undergrad.

I honestly have no idea how he can do that in his own house legally.

I'm pretty sure he's passed that boundary long ago. I'm surprised the power company hasn't tried to stop service yet.

Well, they’d probably need to make a law banning it - and who seriously believes anyone is going to do that anyway enough to pass a law about it? (Lol)

Also, even relatively nanny state UK probably figures if he’s only going to take himself out, why bother trying to stop him.

Well most of the politicians don't have a clue that any of that stuff is possible either.

There is no pearl clutching in science.

I also quite enjoy Edwin Sarkissian's "shoot at large/heavy/explosive stuff with very high caliber out in the desert" videos, although it's quite a bit safer than the stuff already mentioned upthread due to his simply being sufficiently far away from the impact/explosion.

Fascinating in the same way as the classic/famous Hydraulic Press Channel.
