This video is sponsored by AnyDesk. You ever
wake up in the morning and ask yourself: "what happens when you wire a hundred car batteries in
parallel?" If so, you're in luck, because that's exactly what I'll be doing today. By wiring all
these in parallel, the voltage is going to be the same as a single battery, which is just a bit over
12 volts. Now I realize this seems lame compared to what I usually show on this channel, but you
see, this isn't a video about high voltage. Oh no, we're pl
aying with fire today. See that rating
right there? That's how much current this battery can deliver for 30 seconds in freezing temps,
and that's 850 amps. So by wiring 100 of these in parallel, we're looking at 85 000 amps.
Of course, cable and contact resistance is going to limit that somewhat, but I'm curious
to see just how ridiculously high the current can get here. I mean it's one thing to produce
thousands of amps for a tiny fraction of a second, but what does it look like when you m
ake
even more than that over a few seconds? In fact, I'm hoping to achieve the currents
seen in a lightning strike with these batteries. The most daunting engineering task for this
project was coming up with a way to switch these massive currents, particularly one
that can break the circuit when tens of thousands of amps are flowing through it.
I settled on modifying a log splitter, mostly because it can rip apart contacts that weld
themselves together. Now the best part about this switch
is that you load it like a crossbow. So
let me show you this beautiful mechanism here. So I gotta yank this back while feeding it this
pin and it's not very easy. Let me just show you. Okay so now it's loaded and I have to
feed it this actuator so it can yank out that pin. Let me just show you.
You can see the actuator there that yanks out that pin. So now when I hit this
yeet switch, the contacts slam together. and then if I have some catastrophic failure
and need to kill power, I just pr
ess this frick button here to rip apart those plates, oh and I
also have to yank this string at the same time seems safe enough right? Now I want to bore you
with numbers, but I feel like it's important to give you a sense of the crazy scale that
I'm dealing with here. That bank holds an incredible 320 megajoules of energy. That means
that if one of those batteries fails short, the energy equivalent of 500 cars screaming down
the highway would get dumped into it all at once, which would pro
bably make a sizable
crater. I really hope that doesn't happen. Now I could go on and on about how clinically
insane this is, but I should let the rest of the video do the talking here. I will say
that you definitely shouldn't play with car batteries. I mean even one can mess you up if you
abuse it enough, so yeah don't try this at home. For the first test I'm going to try a piece
of quarter inch threaded steel rod. This should be easy to melt, but the small size
will probably limit the cu
rrent somewhat. What? it looks like the connection broke
there. I mean it is only 12 volts, so nearly anything can break the
circuit here. I went ahead and smacked the threads with a hammer a bit
to hopefully give more area of contact. It was slower than I hoped, but I did like the
green flames from the zinc plating burning off. Here I have a 3/8 inch threaded rod. Now this
has over double the area of the last rod, so it should pass quite a bit more current. look at that wow cool I think th
at one was just as fast if not
faster! Let's try zapping some ferrocerium. Now this is the metal alloy that makes up modern
lighter flints, and it makes a bunch of sparks when it's ground down. I'm hoping it makes even
more sparks with these batteries. Here we go! it just exploded! Maybe a bigger rod
will give even more sparks? Here we go! Hah I'll take that as a yes. Unfortunately it
didn't actually burn all the way through there. Gosh it's just so hard to keep contact with
the voltage be
ing so low. Maybe I just need more weight. This is a kilogram Ingot of
bismuth metal. It's super dense and melty, so I'm hoping it will keep enough
contact to melt all the way through. Well that was messy! It splattered
molten metal all over the place, although a lot of it was unmelted. It still made
a nice puddle though, plus the oxide layer on the remaining ingot is super colorful. I want to
try zapping this half inch bolt, but this time I'm going to measure the current through it by
loo
king at the voltage drop across the cables. Yes! It took a while for it to secure contact,
but once it did, it melted pretty quickly. the oscillogram is noisy, but once it made full
contact, there was a drop of about 180 millivolts there. Now this is across a mere 16 millionths of
an ohm, which means the current there was about 11 000 amps. Not bad. Let's give this saw blade
a try. It's nice and flat and conductive; it should pass a substantial amount of current. it certainly burned through
quickly, but I was
hoping it would explode or something. oh well. The current there was higher, a peak
of fifteen thousand amps. Now that's probably near the limit without making
some modifications to the circuit. Now if I can do 15 kilo amps for
a few seconds, now that would be pretty crazy, and it might be possible with
this three-quarter inch bolt. Here we go! You know, for as easy as it is for wires
to short when you don't want them to, it's been bafflingly difficult to hold a short
a
cross these batteries. Everything just keeps blowing out of place. I've tried using all
sorts of clamps and different materials, but the results are all the same. Everything
breaks contact. So this bank is scary, however its voltage is not, and that's why I can
do this and not feel anything. Besides, at only 15 000 amps, I haven't even hit the current of the
average lightning strike yet. Are you telling me some clouds can do better than 100 car batteries?
So, is it time to throw all these b
atteries in the ocean? Nope not yet. I think using a higher
voltage will overcome these problems, so I rewired the bank for a series-parallel arrangement. Now
there are chains of five batteries in series, then all those are wired in parallel. This makes the
fully charged bank sit at a little over 60 volts. Let's start the 60 volt experiments with
another 3/8 inch steel rod. Here we go! holy heck that exploded! The slo-mo shows
something astonishing here. The rod heated so quickly that its z
inc coating boiled off faster
than it could burn, and then when the rod finally exploded, it left a cloud of greenish plasma, as
the zinc vapor reacted with the oxygen in the air. Comparing this to what happened at 12 volts,
it's clear there's substantially more current at 60 volts. Sure enough, I clocked a peak of
thirty thousand amps, which so happens to be the current of the average lightning strike.
I still think I can do better though. Let's see what happens when I try a half inch bolt
.
I guess those little clamps weren't enough. I've upgraded to some big boy clamps this
time, so hopefully this does the job. I'll take that as a no. Yeah that bolt really does not want to stay in
those blocks. In fact let's take a look here yeah look at that, it just leaves a big
crater of splattering molten steel and copper. wow. Let's see if quad clamping
it will hold it in place. heck. This was easier at 12 volts! What's going
on here? Slow-mo shows the increased current has introduced
a new problem. These blocks are getting
ripped apart by the gayest force field in physics, the magnetic field. Now what's so gay about
magnets? It turns out opposites don't always attract like you might think. Yeah yeah, when
you consider magnetic dipoles, north attracts south and vice versa. However, if you look
at currents that give rise to those fields, you'll see the reverse happens to them. Opposite
currents repel, and like currents attract. Now this has a lot of interesting consequen
ces in
physics. It's why lightning pinches itself into a fine streamer, and it's also the basis of
experimental z-pinch fusion reactors. In this circuit, it causes the aligned cables to bunch
up, while repelling the cables carrying current in the opposite direction, and this is what's ripping
apart the copper blocks. In an attempt to fix this issue, I brought in two of the leading experts in
crackhead engineering, Allen Pan and the backyard scientist. So you can see I've already tried
blow
ing this thing up before but the current is so gigantic and the magnetic field is so huge that
like it doesn't want to stay on the block. yeah yeah I wanna see what this does. yeah yeah you
may not be safe but we'll do it. yeah we'll do it. oh yeah it's literally an inch thick. we're gonna
take this bad boy [Laughter] oh so that just oh my God but the thing is these huge clamps they're not
enough. tthe forces and currents are just so big. oh yeah I want to put this last clamp on. yeah
there
we go. oh yeah. this is completely insane this is it's like it's so bad. all right everyone
ready? uh yeah I'm ready all right here we go oh it flew out of there again. did you see that? do
you see the brown smoke? yeah it's copper vapor! really? yes. that was like a like a firework from
hell. the sparks shot out sideways. yeah yeah but but the contact broke in like you know fraction
of a second. wait is it safe to look up close? yeah sort of. So the bolt is actually still there.
yeah so t
hat's the problem here is the uh it moves it across like yeah. so there's two issues so it
it explodes but also the magnetic field is all opposing and it yanks it apart, so it barely held
on. How would you fix this? like how how would you guys find a way to keep to actually keep things
on the block and blow up? how would you do it? I think I could do it. how would you do it? I could
do it. oh you just could yeah of course yeah. I don't know. Could you like just drill some holes
in the coppe
r blocks and like through both into a piece of wood or something? like a two by six
and like just forced them in. You might be able to. I feel like you don't want to keep everything
in position. I'm scared if everything was locked down. I'm scared of what would happen. sure
sure oh my God but like I want to see that bolt explode. I want to see it explode. yes yeah melt
it. yeah just kind of bolt them to a piece of wood like on the same piece of wood right? That's what
I was saying. yeah oka
y that's what you're saying oh so yeah the whole mechanism on one piece of
wood. Wow that's that's a good idea, yeah. I was just expecting like melting and explosive stuff
but not a magnetic force, that's uh that's insane. I do like the block of wood idea. the German
word for horror and respect. oh yeah, whatever that word is. yeah. Before attempting to bolt
everything down to a block of wood, we decided to stick a couple cans of 1,2-dimethylethane
on the apparatus. All right you ready for
this? I don't usually wear safety goggles.
you ready? I'm ready. all right here we go oh my gosh wow oh it's still live. I'm gonna
clear it off oh it's gonna spark be careful okay oh that was all wow. we tried sticking
a can upright with the hope that it would act like a rocket. It turns out
this worked just a little too well. wow wow. These fireballs were cool and
all, but they also had the function of clearing out some of that annoying
grass out in front of the batteries. I went ahead an
d mounted everything to a big block
of wood. Now let's try another half inch bolt. Wow it just exploded off of there. Wow that's terrifying. Wow look at the remnants
of that bolt there. They're welded on there. wow. Looks like it took about a quarter
of a second for that to melt through, and the current peaked at over 40 000 amps. That
is insane. The slo-mo shows two powerful magnetic effects here. There are the cables in back
violently pinching themselves into a bundle, and also there's th
e broken bolt fragment getting
launched outward due to the magnetic forces on it. Well if the half inch bolt melts now, maybe
the three quarters inch bolt will melt too. It melted through! Wow that is really melted on there. Interesting how it
hollowed out the nut there. jeez I don't know if that one's coming
off. My goodness. Yeah that that liquid steel really bonded to the copper there. There it goes. Jeez. It's funny,
because as I keep trying bigger loads, sparks get launched further and
further, even
beyond where I'm hiding for these shots. I figured these tests would be intense, but
they're already beyond my expectations. This one's gonna be pretty crazy I think. It's
that bismuth ingot that I couldn't melt earlier. I thought its weight would be enough
to hold it down but clearly not, so I've used these spring
clamps to hold it down now. Holy heck! It made a huge mushroom cloud. There's
not much of this thing left. It is splattered and vaporized all over the place. Wow.
I also managed
to spray molten metal on the lenses of two of my cameras with that run. Oops. At this point in the
video, pretty much all the footage is terrifying, but even so, this is probably the scariest
shot so far. The batteries managed to take nearly an entire kilogram of metal, and turn it
into a cloud of vapor and liquid in a second. The droplets being shot out are so hot that
they're burning in air, leaving little trails of smoke while raining burning molten metal on
everything a
round it. Afterwards I found bits of metal splattered on the trees, the sides of
my shop, and even the table I was hiding behind. The impressive pyrotechnic display of the bismuth
convinced me to try a stick of titanium as well. Titanium is used in fireworks for making bright
white sparks, and it turns out it makes these beautiful sparks when being zapped by a hundred
car batteries as well. Who would have guessed? In engineering, there's something called a crowbar
circuit, and it's used to
prevent an overvoltage from killing the rest of the device. Now it got
its name because it shorts the power supply much like if you were to take a crowbar and throw it
across the power rails. Now I think it'd be fun to try the literal interpretation of this circuit. I
decided to start with a smaller crowbar here first holy heck! it came all the way back here!
I had to dodge it. This one gave a really cool oscillating effect as the crowbar
kept breaking and then regaining contact, which made
the resulting
explosions especially violent. I threw in the bigger crowbar and this one
burned through even faster. Here we go! oh wow the head of that crowbar - oh my
gosh! I just stepped on that and it about burned through my shoe. jeez. Oh yeah that's
hot. Well anyway I was seeing how the head of that crowbar there is just welded onto that.
It's flattened and melted down. That's insane. I tossed some magnets in the middle of the wire
loop there and you can see them jump once the curren
t starts, and yeah I put my camera way too
close for this shot. Now something that sticks out to me here is when the crowbar finally
burns through and it shoots out a big plasma fireball. My bet is that inductive kickback
is playing a role here. I figure zapping a couple of wrenches ought to be fun. Where's
the leak ma'am? Let's start with a small one. this big one should be nice and scary. wow that one got real toasty! Look
how welded that thing is on there. Right here I have the biggest b
olt that
I could find at the hardware store. It's an inch in diameter and 10 inches long. I think
this should be fun to zap with the car batteries. This is going to be crazy.
I hope those clamps survive. Did that melt all the way through? So it just
melted the steel around the threads there. That's that's crazy. I didn't see that happen
with the smaller bolts. So that's what kept it from melting all the way through.
It's just floating in the middle. All right I'm gonna try it without
the
nut, just the bare bolt in there whoa that was so loud! I don't even know what
exploded there It was the fuses that blew! Look at that they melted straight through! Wow that drew
over 45 000 amps and it did it for over a second, well at least before the fuses exploded. That's
bonkers. I'm actually glad that the fuses exploded here because it gives a cross reference for the
currents I'm measuring. The Preece fuse current equation predicts that a bank of 10 6 gauge wires
in parallel will last
a second at 50 000 amps before exploding, and that's pretty much what
I just saw. I'm only surprised how loud it was! I upgraded the fuses to 4 gauge but at this
point the batteries are really being abused, so I'm going to do some other experiments
before trying the big bolt again. You're probably wondering how well this
battery bank works as a plasma cutter, well I am too honestly, and
there's only one way to find out. wow. that works even better than I expected!
The ground connection me
lted there so now I just have it sitting on that copper
block. let's give that another go Yeah I think that'll do it. Let's try
that with some steel that's a bit thicker. oh geez come on! all right let's try that
again. I just want to cut it in half. It's close enough. Well actually on second
thought, let's cut it in half the other way. wow! wow that was wild! A few sparks in my
head there. wow that was fun! I've sprinkled some magnetite there inside that loop of wire
that, way you can vis
ualize the magnetic field. Yeah it really sticks to those cables. I've placed the wire loop below a
plastic tray for this shot. It's crazy how quickly the magnetite orients
itself near the wire, but then again, the magnetic field here is probably a solid
fraction of a tesla. By attaching some LEDs to a coil of wire and placing it near the cables,
I can get some rudimentary transformer action. The LEDs are being wirelessly powered
by the alternating magnetic field. I have this big old SCR he
re which is
a type of solid-state switch. I want to try popping it with the batteries. Here we go. As expected, nothing happens yet because the SCR
is off and it holds back the battery voltage. Now let's do a little trolling
and apply a signal to the gate. it's funny because I'm used to silicon dying
when looking at it wrong since I'm terrible at electronics, however, the SCR was unaffected by
this. The explosion was actually just the cables popping out of the contacts because t.hey were
o
nly jammed in there. Let's give that another try Wait are you serious? Did it
- I don't think that- what? I think it melted the bolt first. Much to my
amazement, the magnetic field shredded the whole setup before there was enough time for
the SCR to pop, conducting an astonishing 45 000 amps and snapping one of the mounting bolts in
the process. That is one tough piece of silicon. I mounted everything back in the wooden block
to keep it in place. Let's try that again. It turns out the SCR h
ad already failed
short from the previous run which is why it immediately blew up when the battery voltage
was applied. This breaker says it can stop at 10 kilo amp fault. We'll see about that. All right
let's see how well the circuit breaker holds up. Did it trip? Oh let's see here. So it
shows that it had a fault but it uh It may have actually worked. It may have
actually stopped that. Or did it not? I think it's still alive. Let's try it again. yeah it's welded to it now. but it still tr
ipped the circuit. That's
impressive. I wasn't expecting that. I zapped some magnesium but the results weren't that impressive
relatively speaking. It melted too easily near the contact points and prevented burn through,
so I decided to try manually keeping contact. [Laughter] Let's try the same thing with ferrocerium. Yeah that one explodes a bit softer than
the magnesium did. That's cool. In fact I bet yeah. Where's my science machete? Well that's fun. I think titanium should be even more
impressive since it has
such a high melting point. Wow. and that's how to light the
entire yard on fire. I love it. All right the titanium flamethrower. yes I got it! oh good I got it! nice. Before light bulbs were
a thing, there was something called a carbon arc lamp that was pretty much just an electric candle.
Well, I want to try making one with my batteries. I've connected a couple chonky
graphite rods to some cable. I'm going to try initiating an
arc by tapping them together. okay Wow
that is incredibly bright. I smell like I
smell like nitrogen oxides or something from that. Look how hot that is! I'm gonna apply
a really heavy neutral density filter, that way you can hopefully
see what that arc looks like. That arc is actually getting huge, it's
it's like hitting the ground there, that's not just from the splatter
from the burning electrodes. The arc is gigantic. The magnetic
field keeps throwing it around. I think it's time to revisit the huge bolt that
I couldn't m
elt earlier. All right I've got a fresh new one inch bolt in there. Hopefully
this time will be the charm. Here we go. Yes! Oh it melted. Oh look at that,
it finally burned through. Wow there's so much heat coming off of
that right now. Yeah I'm pretty sure the radiation coming off of that bolt lit
the wood on fire. Wow that thing got hot! I clocked a peak of just a hair under 50 000 amps
there. That's quite a bit more than the average lightning strike, and for a much longer duration
too.
Total circuit power there was on the order of three megawatts. You should not be measuring
anything in mega for a YouTube video! I think it's pretty cool. Who gave you these batteries?
AnyDesk! Anydesk. Yeah it was their idea! It was their idea, it's insane. That's right, this
video is sponsored by AnyDesk, and in fact, this entire video was their idea, which definitely

this video. I gotta say, it took a lot longer to make t
his video than I expected. Now part of
that was I probably spent too much time with the 12 volt experiments, but also, I really didn't
know what to expect from a hundred car batteries. I mean with most of my videos, I have a pretty
good idea of what the end product is going to look like, but with these I just I really didn't know.
I mean I just had to throw things at the wall to see what stuck, and this led to a lot of failed
experiments, but at least a few of them were interesting. I tried
microwaving the output of the
batteries hoping it would make a super hot plasma, but the most I could get was a pop. The voltage
just isn't high enough for this kind of thing. I also tried saltwater electrolysis which did
work in splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, but it just wasn't quite exciting enough.
I was hoping for a violent boiling effect, but I'd need quite a bit more voltage
to pull it off in a setup like this. My most disappointing failure was trying
to crush a pipe via
a magnetic pinch. So back in the late 1800s, a lightning rod was
mysteriously crushed inward by a lightning strike, and then in 1905, a couple scientists made the
connection that it was crushed magnetically by the huge currents that passed through
it. They estimated that a current of 20 000 amps, along with some melting is what did
the pipe in. In order to replicate the effect I rigged up some pipe with fuses to prevent the pipe
from melting all the way through. With each trial, I made the
fuse thicker and thicker, which allowed
the pipe to heat more and more with each run. I was achieving currents of over 40 000 amps
and the fuses were detonating in these trials. Unfortunately, there was no pipe crushing, even
when I let the pipe itself pop from the current. It turns out it was the alternate explanation
that was closer to being correct. A later analysis determined that the rod was actually
hit by an unusually powerful super bolt of 150 000 amps with no melting at all. Since
the
pressure on the pipe is proportional to the square of the current going through it, that means
I'm not even getting close to what's needed at 40 kilo amps. Now if I had a few hundred more
car batteries, well then yeah I could I could pull it off, but for what that would cost I'd
rather build a more accurate lightning machine. As a whole, the engineering for this project was
deceivingly complicated. My channel has a history of circuits that operate much more complex
than the schematic w
ould lead you to believe, and this one takes the cake for that. I mean
it's basically the first circuit you would see in an electronics 101 class. It's just a battery,
switch, and resistor. Now of course, there's a lot more resistances in reality. The cables have
resistance, the switch has a resistance, there's contact resistance, even the batteries themselves
have an internal resistance. None of this is easy to measure without just building the whole circuit
and putting a huge amount of cu
rrent through it. In the all parallel arrangement I couldn't get
past 15 000 amps, and I was really disappointed by this. Where was the resistance coming from? The
battery resistance is negligible here, and it's not the cables either. I'm using the thickest
wire in the American wire gauge system and I'm running 10 of those in parallel. As a side note,
there's no measurement that's more American than the American wire gauge. Anyway, the resistance
was nearly all on the contact points, and re
wiring the bank for 60 volts was able to overcome most
of that. In this arrangement, the limiting factor is the battery internal resistance, which means
that most of the circuit power is actually going into heating the batteries. I scoped the voltage
across a bolt when zapping it, and it dropped to 6 volts! yikes. Now the hardest part about this
project was actually coming up with a switch. I mean you can't just buy a switch like this that
can disconnect these huge currents, at least for le
ss than you'd pay for all these batteries. My
original intention was to build a solid state switch using like a huge array of MOSFETs, but I
realized that that would probably have a really high chance of catastrophic failure, so I nerd
sniped the members of my Discord server with the hopes that they would come up with a solution.
This was a unique challenge, but I got a lot of creative ideas ranging from MOSFETs to mechanical
devices and even a cursed mercury switch. The Tesla coil master G
reg Leyh suggested something
hydraulic, which gave me the idea to modify a log splitter. I bought a cheap log splitter and some
monstrous copper plates and then brought them to my friend Josh to weld them up. It was his idea to
use the internal spring mechanism to switch it on, which significantly helped keep the switch
resistance low when firing. As a side note, this is the same Josh in my early pyro experiment
videos that predate my YouTube channel. So yeah, thanks to Josh for building th
e
switch, thanks to my Discord nerds for the engineering consult, and thanks to AnyDesk for
both sponsoring this video and giving me the video idea in the first place. Finally I'd like
to give an ode to the lead acid battery. These things are tough as nails, invented way back in
1859, making them the oldest rechargeable battery technology. They're also the most recycled
consumer product in the US, making them the most sustainable battery technology. To top it
off, they are the preferred so
urce of charge for electric eels, fulfilling a critical role
in aquatic environments. Thanks for watching!

“Is it time to dump all these car batteries in the ocean?!” 💀
OOF! At first I thought you are putting them in series and lying on them!! Thanks god it is in parallel... I'll continue watching HAH! I see you made some sort of railgun in the process!
9:08 Most underrated line I think of the entirety of 2023, anydesk are legends for legit coming up with the idea and sparking this video creation, that shits wild UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/LsMfY8P6G-yckNAPjoWA8AI
28:39 In the process of making your lawn burn, YOU MADE A PERFECT SMOKE RING.
One of the few guys left carrying forward the spirit of old-school YouTube.
Props to AnyDesk for having a CEO crazy enough to sponsor this!
The circuit breaker test was astonishing. What a trooper! I’m surprised those things work that good. I feel somehow way safer now. 😂
When he matched a lightning strike 8 minutes into the video, I knew it was gonna be a banger.
Well, this is exactly how I'd expect him to interact with other people. He makes two other people who do insane engineering things look completely sane.
As an engineer, seeing the 10,000 AIC breaker not fail, gives me faith I might not die
the three men featured in this video, styro, the backyard scientist, and mr pan, have got to be the best examples of youtubes prime.
28:27 - Titanium flame throw smoke "O" ring 🤣
The fact that a company identified you as "The only person crazy enough to try" and gave you THIS MUCH POWER is terrifying.
The sheer joy and ultimate danger of playing with lots of power
A huge thanks to all those companies helping to create such masterpieces. You are building a part of Youtube History.
12:44 the closest german word for Horror und Respekt is: "Ehrfurcht" which means to honour (ehren) something and and the same time be frightened (fürchten) of it. You use it especially for mighty people and dangerous objects
When you're scaring even The Backyard Scientist with what you're doing, you know you've hit Mariana Trench depths of insanity.
Hearing the backyard scientist, the man who microwaved a microwave, say "I dont usually wear safety goggels" while wearing safety goggles, is terrifying
Seeing all these guys work on these crazy ideas together brings me joy, love all you guys
Hands down one of the best videos I’ve watched man! That’s awesome! As a mechanic/car guy I’ve always kinda wondered what you could do with a bunch of them lol
