How To Make Pickles Glow 💥

hey guys welcome back thanks for joining

hey guys welcome back thanks for joining us today on the king of random there are

us today on the king of random there are

us today on the king of random there are a lot of ways to cook things and today

a lot of ways to cook things and today

a lot of ways to cook things and today we’re going to try one of the least

we’re going to try one of the least

we’re going to try one of the least conventional ones we’re going to run

conventional ones we’re going to run

conventional ones we’re going to run high electric current directly through

high electric current directly through

high electric current directly through our food to see how it reacts the

our food to see how it reacts the

our food to see how it reacts the general setup is pretty simple we’ll

general setup is pretty simple we’ll

general setup is pretty simple we’ll have electricity attached to two

have electricity attached to two

have electricity attached to two different nails and our food spiked onto

different nails and our food spiked onto

different nails and our food spiked onto the top of it connecting the bridge

the top of it connecting the bridge

the top of it connecting the bridge when we turn on the electricity we’ll

when we turn on the electricity we’ll

when we turn on the electricity we’ll see what happens to the food I do want

see what happens to the food I do want

see what happens to the food I do want to be doing this with food that is

to be doing this with food that is

to be doing this with food that is somewhat conductive or nothing’s gonna

somewhat conductive or nothing’s gonna

somewhat conductive or nothing’s gonna happen when we plug in the electricity

happen when we plug in the electricity

happen when we plug in the electricity so the two foods I’m gonna try this with

so the two foods I’m gonna try this with

so the two foods I’m gonna try this with our hot dogs and pickles both have high

our hot dogs and pickles both have high

our hot dogs and pickles both have high water and sodium content so they should

water and sodium content so they should

water and sodium content so they should conduct electricity fairly well alright

conduct electricity fairly well alright

conduct electricity fairly well alright here we go

here we go

here we go I’ll drive the nails through this board

I’ll drive the nails through this board

I’ll drive the nails through this board to hold them steady as we run the

to hold them steady as we run the

to hold them steady as we run the electricity through them first let’s cut

electricity through them first let’s cut

electricity through them first let’s cut off a small piece that’s easier to

off a small piece that’s easier to

off a small piece that’s easier to manage with our board cut we want to

manage with our board cut we want to

manage with our board cut we want to drive the two nails through pointing

drive the two nails through pointing

drive the two nails through pointing straight up far enough apart that they

straight up far enough apart that they

straight up far enough apart that they have some space between them but not so

have some space between them but not so

have some space between them but not so far that we can’t fit a hotdog on them I

far that we can’t fit a hotdog on them I

far that we can’t fit a hotdog on them I could just drive the nail in using

could just drive the nail in using

could just drive the nail in using hammer but it doesn’t actually need to

hammer but it doesn’t actually need to

hammer but it doesn’t actually need to be in all that tight since it’s not

be in all that tight since it’s not

be in all that tight since it’s not holding any two pieces of wood together

holding any two pieces of wood together

holding any two pieces of wood together so I’m just gonna pre-drill it with a

so I’m just gonna pre-drill it with a

so I’m just gonna pre-drill it with a drill bit that’s slightly smaller than

drill bit that’s slightly smaller than

drill bit that’s slightly smaller than the width of the nail

the width of the nail

the width of the nail [Music]

[Music]

[Music] with the holes drilled now let’s press

with the holes drilled now let’s press

with the holes drilled now let’s press the nail all the way through the board

the nail all the way through the board

the nail all the way through the board so that the head of the nail is flush

so that the head of the nail is flush

so that the head of the nail is flush with the bottom with the nails driven

with the bottom with the nails driven

with the bottom with the nails driven through the board we need to add a

through the board we need to add a

through the board we need to add a source of electricity I have here a cord

source of electricity I have here a cord

source of electricity I have here a cord that I cut off of an old broken fan I’m

that I cut off of an old broken fan I’m

that I cut off of an old broken fan I’m going to split the wire in half and then

going to split the wire in half and then

going to split the wire in half and then strip off about the top two inches of

strip off about the top two inches of

strip off about the top two inches of each side of the wire now let’s take

each side of the wire now let’s take

each side of the wire now let’s take these wires and wrap each one around the

these wires and wrap each one around the

these wires and wrap each one around the base of one of the nails and there we

base of one of the nails and there we

base of one of the nails and there we have it now our electric cooking device

have it now our electric cooking device

have it now our electric cooking device is ready to be used all we have to do is

is ready to be used all we have to do is

is ready to be used all we have to do is impale our food onto it and then plug it

impale our food onto it and then plug it

impale our food onto it and then plug it in it’s important to note that these are

in it’s important to note that these are

in it’s important to note that these are live exposed wires and they pose a risk

live exposed wires and they pose a risk

live exposed wires and they pose a risk of electric shock so this is not an

of electric shock so this is not an

of electric shock so this is not an experiment that should be replicated at

experiment that should be replicated at

experiment that should be replicated at home we have a workbench that’s designed

home we have a workbench that’s designed

home we have a workbench that’s designed for these types of experiments and we

for these types of experiments and we

for these types of experiments and we have safety precautions in place let’s

have safety precautions in place let’s

have safety precautions in place let’s start trying to cook a hot dog now the

start trying to cook a hot dog now the

start trying to cook a hot dog now the outlet I’m using actually does have a

outlet I’m using actually does have a

outlet I’m using actually does have a switch installed so no electricity is

switch installed so no electricity is

switch installed so no electricity is gonna start flowing into the outlet

gonna start flowing into the outlet

gonna start flowing into the outlet until I turn it on this is a good safety

until I turn it on this is a good safety

until I turn it on this is a good safety measure in case something goes wrong you

measure in case something goes wrong you

measure in case something goes wrong you can just hit the switch without having

can just hit the switch without having

can just hit the switch without having to pull the plug out from the wall all

to pull the plug out from the wall all

to pull the plug out from the wall all right safety glasses on and I’m gonna

right safety glasses on and I’m gonna

right safety glasses on and I’m gonna flip the switch I can smell it I don’t

flip the switch I can smell it I don’t

flip the switch I can smell it I don’t know if I could smell it before and just

know if I could smell it before and just

know if I could smell it before and just close to it or if it started cooking and

close to it or if it started cooking and

close to it or if it started cooking and doing something whoo I can hear it it’s

doing something whoo I can hear it it’s

doing something whoo I can hear it it’s making fizzling noises and it’s sort of

making fizzling noises and it’s sort of

making fizzling noises and it’s sort of bubbling up down here at the bottom

he might be boiling some of the water

he might be boiling some of the water inside the hotdog possibly burning it as

inside the hotdog possibly burning it as

inside the hotdog possibly burning it as well that’s knowing brain I’m gonna turn

well that’s knowing brain I’m gonna turn

well that’s knowing brain I’m gonna turn it off and see what’s happened so far

well I’ve got a nice charred spot on one

well I’ve got a nice charred spot on one side of my hotdog the other side doesn’t

side of my hotdog the other side doesn’t

side of my hotdog the other side doesn’t seem very effective and I thought more

seem very effective and I thought more

seem very effective and I thought more of it would get warm I’ve been told that

of it would get warm I’ve been told that

of it would get warm I’ve been told that doing this setup you can actually cook

doing this setup you can actually cook

doing this setup you can actually cook the hotdog all the way through that it

the hotdog all the way through that it

the hotdog all the way through that it will often get so hot that it will split

will often get so hot that it will split

will often get so hot that it will split open from the heat kind of like if you

open from the heat kind of like if you

open from the heat kind of like if you microwave it but I’m not really getting

microwave it but I’m not really getting

microwave it but I’m not really getting any of that result it’s not cooking all

any of that result it’s not cooking all

any of that result it’s not cooking all the way through it’s not really getting

the way through it’s not really getting

the way through it’s not really getting hot it’s just sort of heating up the one

hot it’s just sort of heating up the one

hot it’s just sort of heating up the one spot that’s actually in contact with the

spot that’s actually in contact with the

spot that’s actually in contact with the nail and a little bit of heat is

nail and a little bit of heat is

nail and a little bit of heat is radiating out from that but it doesn’t

radiating out from that but it doesn’t

radiating out from that but it doesn’t seem to be running much current through

seem to be running much current through

seem to be running much current through the hotdog ground

the hotdog ground

the hotdog ground well cooking a hot dog didn’t work all

well cooking a hot dog didn’t work all

well cooking a hot dog didn’t work all that well but I do have another

that well but I do have another

that well but I do have another experiment I want to try and that is to

experiment I want to try and that is to

experiment I want to try and that is to see what happens if we impale a pickle

see what happens if we impale a pickle

see what happens if we impale a pickle on our nails and run electricity through

on our nails and run electricity through

on our nails and run electricity through it I’ve heard there can be some

it I’ve heard there can be some

it I’ve heard there can be some interesting results so let’s test it out

interesting results so let’s test it out

interesting results so let’s test it out we need a pickle that is long enough to

we need a pickle that is long enough to

we need a pickle that is long enough to reach between the spikes pretty well

reach between the spikes pretty well

reach between the spikes pretty well that’ll work

that’ll work

that’ll work all right electricity is off stab my

all right electricity is off stab my

all right electricity is off stab my pickle on to the nails all right our

pickle on to the nails all right our

pickle on to the nails all right our pickle is spiked we’ve got wires running

pickle is spiked we’ve got wires running

pickle is spiked we’ve got wires running to it let’s turn on the electricity and

to it let’s turn on the electricity and

to it let’s turn on the electricity and see what happens to our pickle it’s

see what happens to our pickle it’s

see what happens to our pickle it’s dripping pickle juice is down again Oh

dripping pickle juice is down again Oh

dripping pickle juice is down again Oh [Music]

that is the electric art burning its way

that is the electric art burning its way through the pickle look how much that’s

through the pickle look how much that’s

through the pickle look how much that’s lighting up all around that nail alright

lighting up all around that nail alright

lighting up all around that nail alright you know what I’m gonna turn the

you know what I’m gonna turn the

you know what I’m gonna turn the electricity off for a second I want to

electricity off for a second I want to

electricity off for a second I want to try turning off the lights and seeing

try turning off the lights and seeing

try turning off the lights and seeing what that looks like with a little more

what that looks like with a little more

what that looks like with a little more darkness around here now we’ve got a new

darkness around here now we’ve got a new

darkness around here now we’ve got a new pickle we’ve dimmed the lights quite a

pickle we’ve dimmed the lights quite a

pickle we’ve dimmed the lights quite a bit so we’re gonna put this one on turn

bit so we’re gonna put this one on turn

bit so we’re gonna put this one on turn on the electricity and see how much that

on the electricity and see how much that

on the electricity and see how much that sparking shows up on both sides that’s

sparking shows up on both sides that’s

sparking shows up on both sides that’s exciting

exciting

exciting [Music]

a glowing pickle to do going that is one

a glowing pickle to do going that is one electric pickle trying peeling it on one

electric pickle trying peeling it on one

electric pickle trying peeling it on one side first and then touch it to the

side first and then touch it to the

side first and then touch it to the other side see if I can switch which

other side see if I can switch which

other side see if I can switch which side yeah now that’s the side that’s

side yeah now that’s the side that’s

side yeah now that’s the side that’s sparking just to see if it makes any

sparking just to see if it makes any

sparking just to see if it makes any difference I’m gonna try drilling a new

difference I’m gonna try drilling a new

difference I’m gonna try drilling a new hole and moving one of the nails closer

hole and moving one of the nails closer

hole and moving one of the nails closer so that we only have about an inch and a

so that we only have about an inch and a

so that we only have about an inch and a half in between the two to see what

half in between the two to see what

half in between the two to see what happens shorter pickle for this alright

happens shorter pickle for this alright

happens shorter pickle for this alright electricity on in three two one

a little bit of ozone smell – that’s

a little bit of ozone smell – that’s interesting the nail has hollowed out

interesting the nail has hollowed out

interesting the nail has hollowed out just burn its way through a trough in

just burn its way through a trough in

just burn its way through a trough in the pickle that’s exciting

the pickle that’s exciting

the pickle that’s exciting there you have it cooking directly with

there you have it cooking directly with

there you have it cooking directly with electricity I’m gonna say that this does

electricity I’m gonna say that this does

electricity I’m gonna say that this does not actually work very well we got some

not actually work very well we got some

not actually work very well we got some good glow out of the pickles and I was

good glow out of the pickles and I was

good glow out of the pickles and I was pretty amused how much it would carve a

pretty amused how much it would carve a

pretty amused how much it would carve a path through the pickle wherever it was

path through the pickle wherever it was

path through the pickle wherever it was in contact with the nail I’ve got some

in contact with the nail I’ve got some

in contact with the nail I’ve got some ideas of how we could amp this project

ideas of how we could amp this project

ideas of how we could amp this project up to the next level including hooking

up to the next level including hooking

up to the next level including hooking it up to a microwave transformer that

it up to a microwave transformer that

it up to a microwave transformer that same setup has made metal glowing red

same setup has made metal glowing red
