Why would she video this?

If it had worked out as she had hoped (but it didn't) she could show off and be proud of something she did. But now it's a funny vid.

That fuzzy little thing always blew up, so she replaced it with a nail. Good steel, not flimsy foil.
Sounds like the arcing stopped before she pulled the plug out.

"Why are electricians so expensive? It's not like a bad wiring job could burn the house down."
Oh man I hear this so much... that & “I could do this myself yaknow.... how about you just charge me for the materials”
Overall, it seems like that I should be trying to get industry work and avoid resi. Resi work is way too cutthroat and sort of shifty.

Thank you, Mr. SkyNet. Please spare me after the singularity
Fires do not start like that from mains arc. There is no way there was not an accelerant involved. But what do I know? I'm just a stuntman.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Oh, I've started fires through arcing.
Same, but what is the fuel source here? It's not the blanket. There is something off camera that ignites independently.
You are right. It is fake. Nothing in that video makes sense.
People so hate finding out they've been duped that they'll often fight to defend the lie. Even something as inconsequential as this.
KinkoTheGoblin
no you're not
Electrical fires don't erupt like that without an accelerant. Also, Hawaiian shirts are not great.
Sameranio
There wasn't a fire, if I'm hearing correctly I just hear arcing till the wires stop being close enough. Could be wrong though.

Eh no, switch off the fucking electric outlet before you work the wires... Any 5th grader will tell you that.

Does a toilet bowl after Taco Bell count as blowing something up?
Curii
I'm an Engineer! (I'm not really) But there was this one time I wired up a CPU fan directly to a plug so I had a small portable fan.
th031695
Did it last around 3 seconds?
Plugged it into the sockBOOM. Me: Hmm, that may have been a bad idea.
blkbox
My guess is you've discovered then about the volts and DC stuff written on the fan's label?
Remmon1
We wanted to find out what happens to a motherboard and CPU if you wire them directly to 230v instead of through a PSU. We were pretty 1/2

Solid sciencing right there
dirttrackmtber
She’s lucky. Leather glives dont insulate from electricity. But good on her for pulling the plug. Now to own up to the folks...
malakim
Most civilized countries have breakers good enough that a normal healthy human wont suffer any lasting damage.
Now she pulls the plug before installation

Those should be fine as Level 1 PPE. Even if the golves aren't rated, they're better than nothing.

Are you wearing the leather gloves under the rubber ones? I'm assuming it's part of a calorie suit
