content: I bet his neighbours love himI feel it is my duty to report his stupidity to YouTube, and also attempt to find out his address, so that I may call the relevant authorities, so they may pay him a visit. I think that is the right thing to do.In short, the guy is an irresponsible prick.

content: I'm sure he mentioned about having complaints previously on his YT channel, and as such has mentioned toning things down. Adding that in future there maybe a more informative approach to all the high voltage equipment.I get the feeling that he may actually know what he's on about, but he goes about it in such a cack handed manner that is rather concerning. Surely though you can't just get away with setting that sort of equipment up, then get it to function without the proper know-how AND without killing yourself?orb

content: What adds fuel to his fire of stupidity and annoyance, is the whole "cockney wide boy" image he portrays of himself, acting as if he is thick, and in no way evenattemptingto counter or avoid this pre-judgement from strangers. Some of the things he shows are actually quite interesting, just let down by his truly moronic self-portrayal.I'm sure he is a nice guy, even if he acts like a pleb. I don't get what his videos are attempting to prove, apart from "look at me, I'm rebelling and doing all the things people tell you that you shouldn't, because noone tells ME what to do". Kinda childish really.

content: Quote from: tyblu on February 08, 2011, 03:03:25 amNo probs mateI must agree that I actually find some of the bits in those clips kinda informative, I mean he does give fair warning of the things that could be, or are in fact very dangerous.I may just ask him one of these days whether he IS properly trained/experienced in this field, as I think he may be. What makes me say that is.. In a couple of the video clips, and replies, he indicates that the house actually runs on batteries for all the heavy load test/experiments etc, and these batteries are charged up at night, & the large transformers that are in most of the clips.. he builds those himself.orb

content: Quote from: orbiter on February 08, 2011, 11:58:39 amTrained inwhat, exactly? How can you be "trained" to be an irresponsible fool, and a bad neighbour? It looks like he lives in a typical shoe-box British house, squashed up next to his neighbours, who, I am sure really appreciate knowing they are all but FEET away from a potentially explosive car battery, together with toxic fumes, and large amounts of EMI discharge from all the crazy HV stuff he does. Also, I don't know how happy I would feel about knowing there are stray microwaves flying all over the place, with no shielding, in a domestic environment..."Trained", you say? Are you being facecious? The guy needs a visit from environmental health, the police and also OFCOM.

content: Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on February 08, 2011, 01:53:36 pmoh god ahahaha! The poor petunias! Am surprised the glass front broke so easily. My neighbors would love whacky crap like this. They always come over when I'm working in the garage, and vica-versa. As for EMI, explosions, and microwaves... they'll live. A few spikes of EMI likely won't even make a blip in local WiFi -- may garble the radio, but who uses radio? Explosions... well, they tend to be one-time-only mistakes. Microwaves don't go far.

content: QuoteAccording to the guy himself, he's never had a complaint from neighbours. Mind due for all I know he may not have any neighbours. That wouldn't be a surprise though. It would also help explain how he's able to carry out these mad scientist type jobs without bothering others too much. Merely supposition of course.orb
