Big Clive buys dangerous coffee cup electrode boiler through eBay

Electricity scares the h-e-double copper electrodes outta me. I still feel guilty about watching my younger brother stick a bobby pin into an electrical socket. From another room, I could have yelled at him to stop, and he would have, but I was curious to see what would happen myself. It electrocuted him, knocked him back, sparked and popped loudly and shorted the socket leaving a black mark flaring out from the holes up the wall. Burned him. And I've felt like an irresponsible idiot ever since.

Psychiatrist: "So you've been carrying this guilt around as a burden ever since?

"Yes."

Psychiatrist: And how has your brother fared?

"He forgot the whole thing. He became an electrician by trade. He makes twice as much as you and I combined and works at least one third or one fourth as much."

Comments where I saw this video are almost interesting, but not about electricity. They're horrified. They get into ridiculing Brexiters, such is their mindset that E.U. would protect them from such hazards. They want layers of government smothering them like a soft comfy blanket. Layers and layers of puffy government blankets, the more layers, the more remote, the more widespread, the thicker the better. They crave protection. And they ridicule everyone who doesn't want that.

Comments on YouTube are better. 

Examples: 

* We used to make these when I was in the army in South Africa back in the '70s. It consisted of two razor blades (the old style double sided type), some cotton thread or fishing line, 9 match sticks and some lamp flex. You space the blades apart with the match sticks and line and connect the lamp flex. It would boil an average cup of water in a minute. The tea or coffee did however have a slight metallic taste, even though the blades were allegedly stainless steel. We knew what we were doing and it worked great for a couple of weeks, until the platoon thickhead came along with his metal fire bucket (military term for tin mug), plonked it down on the metal table and dropped our heater into it. When he switched it on there was a big flash bang and all the lights in B company went out. Torch light showed water all over the walls, ceiling and table, added to that the bucket was spot welded to the table. Unfortunately the problem was traced back to us, we had our immersion boiler confiscated and stood guard duty for two weeks straight. 

* this is really dangerous. So I bought two! 

* Oh my, found one of these on eBay with "Bathtub Baby Swimming Pool Water Quick Heater" in the description. Baby! 

* Does it give off enough hydrogen & oxygen to ignite? Try putting a match to that foam? (if not, please do!) 

* Try warming a can a soup, which has a crazy amount of salt in it it. 

* Try putting it in your mouth, that'll give us loads of fun. 

* WARNING! It might be very dangerous to drink the boiled water because the metal of the electrodes might spread in the water because of the electrolytical effect. Who knows what kind of metal the electrodes are made of? If the water comes in contact with the cupper cables connected to the electrode plates it wil be poisonous.
