Oh, this looks pretty fun. Some nice sparks, maybe a thousand volts or so. Crouched over the MOT. Bare hands. Is it just me or does that wire they're holding, again, in their bare hands, look like 14ga or smaller? Probably only rated to 600V, if that.

Even if they aren't plugged into the wall, those kids are still dancing with death.

It's probably for the best that the transformer went to the electrical shop in the sky in the second clip.


Fortunately, there are some helpful comments posted:

At the least use a plastic rod to hold your wire instead of your (expletive) hand. In case you didn't know, that MOT has enough power to instantly cook all the meat between where it enters and exits your body. Your chances of survival are on the scale of your chance of winning the lotto. Do the rest of us in this hobby a favor and don't kill yourself, it makes the rest of us look bad.
