Thanks for the consistent and good quality videos.

So, what we've learned today: Scott is left-handed.

*Short answer:* everything, but not really.

I'm glad to see you have "debunked" the myth of the conductivity of water. At a previous job, I would load test standby generators in the range of 250kW to 500kW to assure the generators functionality using a "brine tank" as the restive load. This is a steel tank filled with about 200 to 250 gallons of tap water and an isolated copper conductor plate which was slowly lowered into the tank to increase current draw. Fully immersed, there would be near zero current draw between the plates when lowered into tap water. By adding about various amounts of table salt, the water would conduct electricity to the point the load could reach 100% of the rated load of the generator and the conductive plates would have to be lifted out of the brine to regulate the load being drawn. Thanks for the great work you do.

A friend of mine once thought it was a good idea to use a humidity sensor continuously to see if his plants were getting dry. Didn't take long before the entire sensor had dissolved.

Really interesting ! I'm eager to see the video to make integrated circuits waterproof :o

DO a water proofing video!!!

Water is vary bad for ceramic capacitors. The dendrits is growing inside it. You can watch this beautiful process in the 1-st episode of Unseen World of Electronics. Some metals are dissolving and recovering again by electrolise.

Good one. I really like your drawings; they help the explanation beautifully.

very informative ... love your work every time...keep going

At work I operate Wire EDM machines that use a fine brass wire to accurately cut steel and aluminum. The cool thing about it is that they do it with the part submerged under highly filtered water using voltages up to 300VDC. With all of the minerals filtered out, the water no longer conducts electricity. Although it is not recommended, you can stick your finger in the water and never feel even the slightest tingle.

well I dropped my phone into toilet once, got it back in 5 seconds but it didn't turn on ever again. That's all the testing I needed to do with electronics and water. FAQ: 1.) I took the battery out imediatly (because it was nokia remember when you could take batteries out of phones yourself, peperidge farm remembers) and air dried it overnight before attempting to turn on. 2.) it slipped out of my hoodie big cenral pocket, the one where you can touch your hand together even though they are in pockets, you know the type, yeah be careful with those.

Awesome video as always. Thank you Great Scott!

Amazing video Scott. Keep making such videos

"We will *conduct* a couple of experiments..." Was that intended? :p

You should make video waterproofing electronic. Use some clean coating. :) or waterproof really old PC and run it under water :)

Very informative and great quality! You’re channel’s great!

Wow! Nicely explained! Very informative! 👏👏

Me at 11PM: one more and I'm going to bed... Me at 00:50: *this video*

Omg this video is so perfect! ! You are the best :D

Thank you! You always help me learn a lot. You also have very good quality videos.

This is what we call "taking one for the team". Thank you for sacrificing your own electronics for the benefit of the rest of us !!

I imagine that the arduino in the distilled water started working once the ion concentration from your fingers diffused enough to raise the resistance of the water above whatever threshold.

putting your fingers in the distilled pure water could have added some electrons so maybe that's why the aurdrino did he same thing it did in tap water. idk though because it started working again.

The shot of the capacitor under water was fantastic

More, more! Very interesting video, thanks :) I was waiting for your upload in the last half an hour, worth it!!

Very good idea. I was waiting for this because i was too scared to try it my self so i was waiting a good video so there it is thanks😁😁

Natrium is sodium in English. For some reason we use latin for the chemical symbol, so it comes out as Na.

This was extremely interesting! THANK YOU ! keep up the good work!

Wow..! I had this question in my mind for many years. Now its answered. Thank GreatScott.

Don't try at home! Mains are dangerous with water. Great Scott you should advise as you already know people are trying same project that you make.

Hey scott, could you build a breadboard-sized modular synthesizer?

I really like those close up shots. They look great!

Genius experiment. Thanks for the great content !

The current flow in the distilled water is caused as you have made contact with the water with you hand. You see, sweat also has ions and can make the distilled water conductive

And this is why water cooling setups for computers recommend distilled water rather than tap water.

Really nice work, man. And really interesting!

Today I watched this video as it came up in my feed and I thought that it's fascinating, thanks.

Last time I was this early... I never was... Great video ScottyBoy ❤

6:29 If an Arduino hangs up, the reset switch won't work, you'll have to switch the power off, and then power it back up again.

Man I appreciate your passion for electronics. I was just thinking how much of your time you must spend making thse videos, and thank you :)

Your videos are always amazing... Keep it up

Please make a circuit that safe shutdown for pi when a power supply goes off using battery (or) capacitor and provide power for 15 sec to safe automatic shutdown Plz scott Nice work bro..

Awsome Tutorial Dear Scott! Am your Biggest Fan Love U From Pakistan

I love your hand writing.

Thank you for posting this. By the way, the second Arduino in the distilled water likely stopped working because the water would have dissolved any residual flux on the surface, increasing conductivity right at the surface of the Arduino. Once the dissolved flux remnants dispersed over a larger area, the conductivity would have dropped back down.

You sholdn't put Your finders in the destilled water because the Ions like the one you sweat dissolve from your skin into the water. And so the resistance gets much lower.

I have a question for you. My computer is/was watercooled, radiator sprung a leak and drenched the 1000watt psu in coolant, and it let out a HUGE bang and took out both the cirquit breaker and the main circuit breaker in my house. Would it be possible to fix something like this or do you think it's a waste of money compared to just buy a new?

Great vid Great Scott!

I love these electronics videos!

8:09 what kind of "coating" is that and where can you buy that?

0:28 Was that “conduct” pun intentional?

A step toward future electronics. Great video 😋

Thank you my friend! Wonderful work..

1:25 MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!!!

I could be wrong, but he write ×100 and said ×10

Very informative and entertaining video again. Thank you.

This was super interesting! Thanks for the video!

You should've tried sea water too, just for fun :)

Toaster + water never fails

Thank you for this knowledge!

well done Scott! very intersting video.

Water Proofing Electronics!

3:35 OMG YOU'RE GERMAN me too

That was genuinely interesting, thanks!

Thank you. Good work.

3:02 the direction of current is the opposite of the direction of electron flows

You are a genius!! I love your videos thank you! So if I put my knowledge to the test, why are people so scared to drop their iPhones in water if it doesn't necessarily ruin it right away?

Nice video, as always!

Love the video as recently some outdoor projects of mine have been getting water damaged from humidity moisture inside the IP67 enclosure.

10 times more...writes 100 Moment later....10 times more...writes 100...xD

Arduino stop working. With water disabled oscillating crystal!

Very informative video indeed... Thank you very much for this!

From your videos, we learn a lot Thanks

You ruined the distilled water test when you put your finger in it. Just saying.

Just realised I can like my own comment!

Best video..thank you Scott

Great Scott, Great video

Very impresive. Nice video

Great Scott you are truly Großartig!!

Awesome!!! Great quality!! Nice content!

I really want to see how you protect your devices from water. I am looking forward to it. Nice job

one of the best videos!

Your handwriting is soo beautiful!

This video reminded me with an experiment I did any years ago. I dispersed graphene nanoplatelets into a dielectric fluid to increase its thermal conductivity (way less than 1% by weight).I placed a computer power supply in the fluid after checking the electrical resistance of the fluid which was to high to measure, before and after adding the graphene. onceI powered the power supply, it smoked. I couldn’t understand which components failed. You should try this experiment with graphite in oil. You might figure out the cause of such failure. Thanks you for great video.

Pretty interesting Scott, thanks for this video...

This channel should have 5 million subscribers

Hi Great Scott. After your mistmaker video, I ordered a similar one in China. After playing around with it in a cup of water, I thought about what you could also do with your power supply and a tap of water. I derusted all my old tools with electrolysis and did also some experiments with LEDs and other components. Nice to see that someone else has the same thoughts. I enhoy every of your videos ans can't wait to see more of them :-) Grüße aus Hessen Max

Once upon a time, when I worked as a control tech apprentice for an Asphalt Plant manufacturer... the official way we remidied dust/smoking plant operator problems with computers was a water hose. We were usually doing major controls upgrades that took weeks. So long as all the water had time to completely dry from around IC's, we never had problems. A computer's rear mounted vacuum device often branded "Cooling Fan" causes big problems in an industrial environment. I've seen old PC towers that were 80-90% full of dust munchkins.

great video as always :) pls make the video about waterproofing electronics soon!

Acquiring items off of the curb is only half the fun as I always plug them in to see if they still function. Usually they work to some extent and they never flame out like on tv. Maybe I'm weird but it's entertaining to watch a tv with water running out of it. Great vid as usual!

Thank you very much, this is a very good quality, informative video.

Thanks for sharing 😀👍

That was awesome and Useful!!

Nice information, great video

UKposts is listening to my brain, I was lying down thinking why electronics and water don't do well together, and I open UKposts 4 hours later and this is on my recommended

thank you. so much informations . it helps me to understand water damaged motherboards .

That's actually a really great idea to make that video, congrats :D
