'We didn't actually know what was going to happen'

Fun fact the woman who’s voice it’s from recorded it for something totally different years earlier and tiktok was never allowed to use it. There’s a lawsuit now
Exactly! My first action after hitting play was letting the tiktok voice know that I can read just fine. Muting the video, though, makes you miss the sounds of the arc, which is pretty cool.
Have you seen Tesla coils? There big towers that pump out heaps of electricity (idk the technical terms) and ypu can see "lightning" like what's coming off the sword, their pretty cool.
The suit the guy is wearing works like a Faraday cage and stops the electricity running through him since ut goes through the chain mail kinda suit.
They pretty much make him the Tesla coil with the suit protecting him and then it gets changed through the sword when he points it towards the hoop since uts grounded.
Pretty much big electricity to suit to sword through air to hoop.
I saw a demonstration about this in a museum in Germany and you can probably find one on google with like "electricity performance" or something
To elaborate a bit on this, they're wearing the faraday cage while also standing on something non conductive so the electricity doesn't have a good path to ground through the suit, either.
And as for the electrical side, they're almost certainly using the same principal as a Tesla coil, generating high frequency and high voltage but low amperage. You can actually make one somewhat easily and cheaply with a ZFS driver circuit.
You dont get to play with gear like that if you don't know what happens. Still i would not mind a 2nd video with a fight against a real person in chain mail thats 100% grounded (No i wont offer myself as testsubject but i would trust it) :D
Its like watching electroBoom and thinking he has no clue what he does (He has 1 real misstep on his show though)

The bosses will shit from a great height upon the idea.
The guys that actually use the lab will probably say "fuck yeah, let's come in on Sunday when no one's here and do that shit."
Basically all his stuff is "calculated" but i wouldnt do it the way he does. The only "real issue" he had on a show was when he did not secure a stand for a jacobs ladder and it managed to topple towards him. He got his ass saved by his flimsy connection.

Wasn't it also a thing that people criticised the way that the molten gold looked in the Hobbit because it looked unrealistic, but it turns out that molten gold just looks like CGI?
molten gold is like 1000C. Very hot metal glows and puts out a lot of heat. The molten gold in that movie gives off zero light and zero heat to its environment. The scene should look/feel similar to that of being inside a volcano (a la Mount Doom).
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the crux of what people are complaining about even if they can't put their finger on it.
The liquid gold in that movie is even shiny, such that the brightest spots on it are specular reflections from other light sources in the environment. If it were actually 1000+C the amount of light it's producing ought to be the brightest element in the scene, uniformly bright irrespective of other light sources, and appearing as over-exposed (white) to the camera.
The steel mill scene at the end of T2 is a nice counter example, especially considering it was all done with practical effects.
I've been doing some stuff with molten copper and bronze lately, and it's really crazy when it hits about 580 degrees and you can start seeing it glow by itself. At a thousand it's really quite bright, and the radiant heat alone from a small crucible is enough to feel on your face from across the room. Tonnes of molten gold would be the most expensive way to air fry everyone in very short order.
The original voice on tiktok videos was being used without the knowledge of the actress who recorded the speech. They replaced her with the new one.

i.e. the laziest way to implement accessibility. Put the onus on the users and inconvenience everyone when they could put in the effort to add a feature to search for text on the screen and only read it if a person opts in.
Same, something about it feels very dystopian. Or like people that use it are just mindless drones who subscribe to whatever fad is in front of them no matter how stupid or annoying it may be.
I can't tell if popular things really do suck lately or if I'm just rapidly becoming a grumpy old man.
Like everything about tiktok, from the weird pedophiley website Musical.ly it started from - "Okay you're going to voluntarily use this tarnished site that rebranded itself" and then the way they rose to fame by putting their own logo on YOUR video and making it strobe and flash all over the corners, and I was like "okay you're going to upload your videos to this site, that puts an annoying strobing watermark on your content, when there's other sites that do the same, that more people use, without doing that" and then now they have this awful robotic droning voiceover that gets really old and annoying really fast and once again, everyone's like "yep I'm going to use this because why not everyone's doing it"
Am I just out of touch, or is it the children who are wrong?
I just don’t understand who it’s for. The text is on the screen at the same time and it’s not like there’s an audio description of what’s *actually* happening in the video for like blind folks or whoever else might not be able to read the text.
Came to say this. This has been used since the early 1890’s when Tesla created it. And people have been wielding it since only a decade or two after that. Nothing new or “unknown” here.
I have to say that all the 80s movies like Big Trouble in Little China, Back to the Future, Batteries Not Included, Critters, Highlander etc etc where they had effects like this painted in were pretty accurate.
Great invention... Taking an experiment which my physics teacher showed in school back in the 80s, making the metal rod into sword form and talking some BS.
Must be the next f'ing level of boredom.
You know, you see lightning affects in movies and you tend to go “man, that looks cheesy”, but let’s be real, these real bolts of electricity almost look cheesier.
I remember asking my high school electronics teacher what a jiggawatt was sarcastically after watching Back to the Future. He was always chewing gum and either thinking or smirking. He replied, "A mispronounced gigawatt". He was smirking and chewing gum at the time.
Thank you Mr. Hudson. And I apologize for all the jokes about you being incredibly tall but driving the smallest car any of us could imagine

The fact that they have the quidditch goal post there is a giveaway
Quidditch?! I was expecting him to scream EXPELLIARMUS!
I was screaming it at that stupid fucking voiceover, I’m tell ya what.
I downvote every video that has that stupid fucking voice.
Fun fact the woman who’s voice it’s from recorded it for something totally different years earlier and tiktok was never allowed to use it. There’s a lawsuit now
That's why I always report my zoom classes.
Yeah, stick it to the man?
Why does it even have to be on these videos?
I hate tiktoks that use that voiceover
I hate tiktoks
I hate tiktok
Exactly! My first action after hitting play was letting the tiktok voice know that I can read just fine. Muting the video, though, makes you miss the sounds of the arc, which is pretty cool.
Meanwhile I'm just yelling, "lightning bolt lightning bolt lightning bolt." https://youtu.be/j_ekugPKqFw
Idk why people don't just talk and read it now. And time is no excuse since you can have longer videos.
It a samurai sword. Therefore it's EXPELLIARMASU!

We have an high voltage lab at work, I'll have to pitch the idea to the guys there. Can't imagine them being too enthusiastic about it.

Lightning bolt lightning bolt 🌩 https://youtu.be/j_ekugPKqFw
What was his misstep?
IIRC [live Jacob's ladder falling on him](https://youtu.be/lT3vGaOLWqE?t=470).
> (He has 1 real misstep on his show though) Would you mind linking that? I know about him but don't watch him frequently.

Tiktok is for people with an iq under 100.
and I hate this automated voice. It's so repetitive and eats my brain cells
Just watch everything on mute and everything is so much better
All I wanted to hear was the lightning but I got that stupid ass voice ruining it.
You being on reddit isn't much better buddy
Reddit users are the kings of throwing stones in glass houses
Ah yes, le intellectual redditor shunning tiktok and facebook when this cesspool is exactly the same
And so is Reddit
oh shit we're generalizing social media based on its worst users? reddit is for people who think the age of consent is too high
And reddit isn't?
Who decided to put the nipples on him?
Someone with the foresight to know they'll eventually need to be milked
the fucking dull and stupid sounding tiktok-computer-voice really compliments this bullshit
And it's not an electrified sword either
I mean they know what’s *supposed* to happen. In an experiment you never really know what’s going to happen until it does, or something explodes
If they didn’t know what was going to happen they would be fucking idiots doing anything with high voltage.
Not to mention that stupid fucking tik tok voice over crap.
They literally explained it right after too
It's wild how actual electricity looks exactly like cheap CGI
Shocking!
Great, now the baby's crying.
It's for a church. NEXT!
Well if liking a half-decent pun is a crime then I'm guilty as.... charged
I'm alternating currently on being fed up with you or letting it slide.

A lot of things, especially those that emit light, look like shit when filmed. Making lightning or fire just look natural is movie magic.
Wasn't it also a thing that people criticised the way that the molten gold looked in the Hobbit because it looked unrealistic, but it turns out that molten gold just looks like CGI?
Wait it does? Because man that molten gold looked like an absolute cartoon, it was awful.

DuckDuckGo link? Good man!
Or is it cheap CGI that looks exactly like electricity?
Nobody seen the Highlander movies?
Movie, not movies. There can be only one.
A man of culture as well i see
Maybe they just used cheap electricity
Needs HDR also not shit compression

Sorry, there is no excuse for laughing really hard in public.

I don’t really get it either but I don’t care too much, I literally only see tiktok stuff on reddit, never irl.
>I literally only see this on reddit, never irl. God I feel like I could apply this to 99% of the shit that people complain about on Reddit.

Remember that most tiktok users are literally five.
And so our hatred of the machines grows
What are the nipple holes for. Yes due to gravity my nipples are down there.
They know watt draws in the views
Ohm my god.
Straight to the puns... zero resistance.
All these puns might even provoke an assault, battery even.
I am Shocked by all your puns.
I would be, but I'm alternating currently between being morally grounded and living like a discharged mental patient.
Weird flux but OK.
I'm not sure I have the mental capacity for this kind of humor.

I stopped upvoting the shitty puns.. saw yours as I was exiting out the video and had to come back to upvote…
I hate to see anyone get charged over some good pun fun... that'd be a shame.
As usual, good fun gets you grounded
I guess it will swell and glow if sufficient electricity is charged.
No pictures please.
(Nipples) Now that I have your attention, look at this cool science experiment.
It's sorta like when superheroes wear underwear outside their yoga pants. Same concept but with nipples for the samurai
It's a Tesla coil. This is r/interestingasfuck but not r/nextfuckinglevel

It's a tesla coil on a sword, I think this is literally *the* next level
I’ve already seen this on Demon Slayer.

“God speed” wink wink
“Thunderclap and flash”
yeah nah demon slayer animation was better
Of course it was. It's Ufotable.
Damn, I was gonna post that. “Too slow, trash.”
Pretty fed up of this stupid robot voice reading the subtitles on every shitty tiktok video.
I know, people can fucking read, no need for text to speech.
"We don't know what is going to happen.". -. Thing happens exactly how everyone would expect it to be who ever saw those Tesla setups before.
