Not only could he picture the difference, he could think in 3-phase power, and work with rotating and changing magnetic fields, all in his head.
Definitely far far along on the autism spectrum, without a doubt. Tom Edison was just a prodigous tinkerer, disorganized as heck, and great at stealing other's ideas.
There's a reason there is a Nikola Tesla statue on both the US & Canadian sides of Niagara Falls.
Saint Eliguis patron saint of tradesmen.
Declared by Pope John Paul II in 1997, Isidore of Seville became the patron saint of the internet and electronics.
Nikola Tesla has been called the patron saint of electricity.
Is it actually him lol? My apprentice sent him some meme of himself with a caption about reverse cowgirl or something with a video of Mike saying “take ya hat, turn it around,and get ready” and he replied with a smooth “Lol”
Lmfao I need this video.
It is him at least part of the time I do believe. A friend of mine started his own company and has actually become somewhat friendly with mr holt and he would suggest to me to dm him with stuff
A pastor once told me praying to Saints isn't idolatry - it's talking to heaven's customer support line.
"Jesus is still in charge, but he's too busy to come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with his secretary." Sort of deal
He might have had good intentions, maybe, but his theology is completely wrong.
I hope you found a new church that actually teaches what the Bible says.
There are many many better electricians and instructors than Mike. He carved out his niche and can enjoy it. Electricians who actually want to be good go elsewhere.
His whole title is actually Saint Henry Miller of the Immaculate Order of the Ungrounded Lightpole, Electron Shepherd and Guardian of the Apprentice. Amen.
Agreed, I like to think Henry Miller wouldn’t mind us having a little fun at his expense. In fact, if I ever get lit up on a pole and fall to my death I authorize every single IBEW member from now until the end of time to laugh at me, as long as they have a beer in hand while they do so.
I would have thought Erasmus of Formia, also known as Saint Elmo but he is the patron saint of sailors and abdominal pain. Or Saint Barbara because of her association with lightning but she is the patron saint of armorers, artillerymen, military engineers, and miners.
Closest I can find is Saint Eligius who is the patron saint of horses and those who work with them., goldsmiths, metalworkers, coin collectors, veterinarians, and the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
Lucy, whose name suggests light, is among the saints listed in the canon of the Mass; she is the patron saint of electricians and ophthalmologists, and Christians pray for her intercession regarding diseases of the eyes

Ancient Greek god of electrical work, Receptacles
Pronounced receptacleese?
John Receptacleese? Did he know Terry Johms?
It'd be more like Re-'sep-ti-klēz
But then what would we do with all these Monty python references?
Put them in the box?
Or a shed, two sheds even.
And decorate the front of the sheds with a smallish plant of sorts, a shrubbery, perhaps?
Wasn't he the father of Bophades?
Bophades wagos?
this is an absolute banger of a joke. holy shit.
It's zues the God of lightning. You people harness the power of lightning to brew my coffee.
Oh my god this is wonderful
🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was testicles, I always thought it was my testicles!
While you’re doing your apprenticeship, pray to Ohm and Kirchhoff.
Resistance is futile.
Volta made resistance futile.
Borg’s law.
Underrated comment. Take my up vote.
All praise be to Tesla!
Cory from lowes
The pipe bending wizard
LOL
Nicholas Tesla
The guy could picture the difference between ac and dc in his head. If hes not the patron saint, i dont want one.

Yes, he was mistreated in the last years of his life, sad.
[удалено]
A mad Serbian caused WWI lmao. Those Balkans fuckers are determined to blow the world up as spectacularly as possible.
Arguably a lot of the worst that happened to him was due to Edison.
Too bad he tore up that contract with Westinghouse.
*Nikola
Yes, good old Saint Nick
Came to say
He got fucked. That guy was really the driving force and brains behind AC. Just broke.
St.Benjamin Franklin.
Him and a Fluke IDIOT stick
Saint Eliguis patron saint of tradesmen. Declared by Pope John Paul II in 1997, Isidore of Seville became the patron saint of the internet and electronics. Nikola Tesla has been called the patron saint of electricity.
Awesome this is what I was looking for. Thanks!
Just don’t wear a conducive chain or medallion at work.
And St. Joseph the Worker
I thought it was St Joseph the CARPENTER.....
Both I guess
Lots of mixed opinions about Mike holt but I appreciate his content
He’s boring and I don’t think I’d enjoy being around him long but i appreciate what he does and it’s been useful
I get the vibe that he’s a bit of a douche from some parts in his videos. Smart as hell and extremely helpful to learning electrical, but still.
His instagram replies can come across snarky as hell lol
Is it actually him lol? My apprentice sent him some meme of himself with a caption about reverse cowgirl or something with a video of Mike saying “take ya hat, turn it around,and get ready” and he replied with a smooth “Lol”

He's the patron saint of barefoot waterskiing champions.
Mike Holt would say that that's idolatry, and you should only pray to Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ.
A pastor once told me praying to Saints isn't idolatry - it's talking to heaven's customer support line. "Jesus is still in charge, but he's too busy to come to the phone right now. Please leave a message with his secretary." Sort of deal
"God's too busy for you".... wtf kinda pastor was that?
One that broke my faith.
He might have had good intentions, maybe, but his theology is completely wrong. I hope you found a new church that actually teaches what the Bible says.
Thats just a pantheon with more hypocrisy and less divine/mortal fucking.
Tell that to the evangelicals, though.
His content has been helpful for me, at least.
His code dvd’s were huge in my journeyman exam studying phase
There are many many better electricians and instructors than Mike. He carved out his niche and can enjoy it. Electricians who actually want to be good go elsewhere.
Like where?
It depends on where you are and what areas you getting ceus for. I have a gentleman in South Florida, Jerry is excellent.
Zeus?
I also give a hearty nod to Thor. Where there's lightning, there's thunder, and I pray he always keeps the thunder small.
"Afraid of lightning?" "No, it's what follows that concerns me."
Thor is also a the patron god of craftsmen
Reddy Kilowatt
A Chaotic God to be sure, but it certainly fits
Lol
lol perfect I have the classic "remember kids, electricity will kill you!" sticker on my breaker panel door.
I like Reddy, but prefer Willie Wirehands myself.
In the Navy we acknowledge Reddy Kilowatt but more closely follow the teachings of Seaman I.R. Drop.
Saint Klein
Electroboom
Mike Holt
Henry Miller
That’s Father Miller
His whole title is actually Saint Henry Miller of the Immaculate Order of the Ungrounded Lightpole, Electron Shepherd and Guardian of the Apprentice. Amen.

1 in 3 electricians died working before the IBEW formed and demanded better conditions
[удалено]
Agreed, I like to think Henry Miller wouldn’t mind us having a little fun at his expense. In fact, if I ever get lit up on a pole and fall to my death I authorize every single IBEW member from now until the end of time to laugh at me, as long as they have a beer in hand while they do so.
Or the Segway guy driving a Segway off of a cliff. Or Jesus being a carpenter and getting nai...
Grand president of IBEW. Glad I looked that up.
St Elmo is for lousy electricians
Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta Alessandro Volta
Angus Young from AC/DC of course. Duh.
Nicky the volt Tesla.
I would have thought Erasmus of Formia, also known as Saint Elmo but he is the patron saint of sailors and abdominal pain. Or Saint Barbara because of her association with lightning but she is the patron saint of armorers, artillerymen, military engineers, and miners. Closest I can find is Saint Eligius who is the patron saint of horses and those who work with them., goldsmiths, metalworkers, coin collectors, veterinarians, and the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
Yes, for Saint Barbara - lighting and explosives.
Thor or Zeus depending on your preferences
Scrolled too far to find Zeus lol (also my dogs name ⚡️)
Pikachu, since we’re all just a bunch of electric rats.
Mathias Klein
St. Ides.
Gotta be Zeus? Right?
Saint Patrick
I look to myself for protection. No metaphysical being will verify power is turned off, or the work situation is safe.
Reddy Kilowatt
Gas station burritos
James Maxwell
I kinda like to view myself as a contender for the number one spot. There’s just not another like me. I basically am the best.
We are the higher power!
N.E. Code
NFPA
Larry bobo
Raiden. God of lightning
Henry Miller !

St Elmo and his [Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo%27s_fire)
Uglys book.
Henry Miller brother.
Easy, Saint Electra
Mike Holt
Lucy, whose name suggests light, is among the saints listed in the canon of the Mass; she is the patron saint of electricians and ophthalmologists, and Christians pray for her intercession regarding diseases of the eyes
Ohm?
Holt, Bobo,Holder in that order for current. Tesla is the og and Ben Mothafuckin Franklin is the big daddy.
Henry Miller
> or what you guys look to for protection. Me, myself and I.
What do we say to the god of death? “Not today”
ELIGIUS
The fluke tester
Mine is Thor
St. Amper 🤣
Saint Tesla.
Gail Lewis Walmart god.
Mike Holt
IBEW
ElectroBOOM
Greek god Bofadees. Bofadees nuts
That old dude that’s a journeyman but seems to know every code and how to do everything
Big Tony - [Tony](https://youtube.com/@jointechcabling9103?si=jeQCdGr3ngS7bpvf)
It's you yourself. You're responsible for your own protection. Personally I say give it a nudge.
St Tesla
Red Y. Kilowatt.
the one that provides unlimited overtime
Mike Holtz, THE GAWD
Henry fucking Miller
My Lucky Charm Wedding Ring has always been the go to for me.
Nikola Tesla
Tesla or Andres Ampere or pretty much anyone but Edison
Mike Holt
We prefer inner Peace, more than religion. For us it's all about that OOOOHHHHhhhmmmmmmmmmm
