hey guys I'm the Hacksmith and we take
fictional ideas and comics movies and
video games and make a real working
prototypes, it's called make it real
we've made captain america's
electromagnet shield
Batman's grappling hook gun
psylocke's psionic energy sword
Reinhardt's rocket hammer from Overwatch and
even an exoskeleton from call of duty
just to name a few.
But one of our first project was
Wolverine claws and since Logan just came out
we decided to revisit it was a
few upgrades. I originally designed and
built them a machine shop during an
internship I had and if you want to see
more the original video is linked below.
We tested them out by catching 50-pound
hay bales, a suitable replacement for bad guys
But then, I got creative
what would happen if we electrified them
using a high-voltage transformer we had
some fun and gain a bit of notoriety
online but today we're upping the ante
more electricity and i'm wearing them
big shout-out to Kustom Kraft Leather
who hooked me up with this awesome custom fit
Wolverine jacket!
Alright so how are we going to do this?
We're actually going to use a car battery and we're
going to short it using the claws... now I know
you think that shorting a car battery is
actually bad for it but in this case
it's not that bad
these car batteries are designed to put
out over a thousand amps when starting a
vehicle and sparks well it's usually
under a couple hundred amps not to
mention this wires is only rated for 200 amps
so technically it would melt
before we actually start hurting this
battery, that being said don't try this
with your parents car battery they need that
alright so for the first test we're only going to
use one set of claws.
We're going to connect the negative lead of the battery
straight to the welding table, now we're going to connect the
positive lead into the Wolverine claws
But we have to take it off the table first
Now if we touch the Wolverine claws to the table
we're going to complete a short circuit with the
battery, resulting in lots of sparks
hehhe, alright let's try that again in
slow motion and see what's really happening
now this is actually damaging the claws
because those sparks you see are actually tiny
bits of superheated metal coming off the
claws and the table itself so we are
damaging the tips of this but we can
always just make another pair but that
being said it's totally worth it because
it is so cool
alright enough of that let's try putting
both claws on and see what happens
unplug the table and plug in the second claw
caution these are live!
So how deadly are these? It only takes
about 10 milliamps across the heart
electrocute someone, and we're pumping a few
hundred amps through these, so you might be asking
why haven't I fried myself yet
well luckily human skin is very
resilient to DC voltage, especially low
voltage like 12 volts -- but if i was to stab
someone like this I'd electrocute them
they also died from multiple stab wounds
Man, I'm thirsty...
alright hope you enjoyed the video we
had a ton of fun with these and we do
all kinds of cool stuff like this on the
channel all the time you should totally
