Friends Holding Electric Fence Are Zapped Only When The Last Friend Touches The Ground

Mar 112013

Over the weekend, this video posted by Angus Fowles exploded, garnering over two million views. Five daring friends were playing outside by an electric fence when one decided to conduct an experiment.

While standing on a chair he grabbed the fence. As most people know from 6th grade science class, nothing happened as he wasn’t touching the ground. He and his friends then made a human chain, all while standing on objects as to not be grounded.

Finally, the last friend held the hand of the last of the chain, only he wasn’t standing on anything.

Naturally, the electric fence experiment ends as expected.

Two men performed an out of this world Tesla coil show at the Belfast Festival at Queen’s that took place over the weekend.

Wearing special suits to survive the outstanding electrical power, the two men stood on top of Tesla coils and somehow manipulated and controlled the bolts of electricity in front of a ‘shocked’ audience. Nelldogcf caught the amazing act on camera, and now the footage is starting to trend.

Where The Hell Is Matt Shot With Tesla Cannon

Sep 062012

Remember Matt Harding the viral world travelling dancer who has circled the globe multiple times dancing and recording his adventures?

Well, the adventurer took a break from all the travel to have some nerd fun with Matt Inman from The Oatmeal. Holding a florescent light bulb, Matt was shot with over 10,000 volts with a sweet, Ghost-Busters-esque Tesla cannon.

Amazingly, the bulb lights up. That has got to hurt. Ignore the smell of burning hair.

Extension Cord Plugged Into Itself Is Funny And Fake Troll Science

Mar 212012

Troll science is the fun way to imagine breaking the rules of the world, but are usually obviously fake. This particular video has recently started to surge, and portrays excellent troll physics.

By plugging an extension cord into itself, this man claims to have infinite energy. He just zaps one plug with a spark, and-viola!- infinite power! Let’s power our cities this way!
