all right who's the idiot now
hi I hope you had happy holidays and
started a great new year 2020
today in news Ukraine discovers free
energy electro ball passes over three
million subscribers and will give away
five scopes
thanks to keysight yes I finally reached
three million subscribers thanks to
every single one of you and to celebrate
that I will reveal a very special secret
if you slap like now approved the secret
is I couldn't come up with an
extraordinary video idea to celebrate 3
million subscribers but keysight came to
the rescue and is helping me giveaway 5
4 channel scopes that's also a 20
megahertz function generator a frequency
counter a spectrum analyzer and more at
the end of the video keysight will also
give away five more tools including
scopes when their channel reaches
100,000 subscribers their channel is
filled with great knowledge on test
tools so subscribe to their channel now
and get them to 100,000 now let's talk
about free energy a lot of you send me a
video from frozen channel seemingly
claiming free energy this channel is a
ukrainian lad and his friends building
all sorts of interesting stuff from
scrap material his main channel has more
subscribers than mine good for them but
it doesn't mean I can't rectify them I
generally like what they do in their
Channel though it is a great opportunity
YouTube is providing to everyone in the
world to have a voice as long as I
approve their message let's look at his
video and see what it's about what free
energy from the ground wire there is no
free energy free energy being the energy
created from no other source just
imagine that there's plenty of energy
that we don't use in our normal life and
I'm going to show you how to collect
these free energy first thing we need is
a very thick wire then connect it to the
reliable grounding another end will be
connected to the ground wire of the
electric nap then I insulate the phase
wire to protect myself form electricity
we don't need that now there will appear
some voltage potential between these
wires
it's 2.8 volts that will be enough to
Sparkle
Lyde it is working well my Ukrainian
language is a bit sketchy but I think he
says there is an AC voltage difference
between his neutral wire and earth which
in his case is his water copper pipe and
you can pull energy from this difference
which is free so it's obvious he's not
talking about the mythical free energy
that's energy created from no other
source he's talking about the energy
that's available for free like solar
power that we can harvest but is it free
stick to the end and we shall figure
this out
if this spare energy even exists that is
to make this energy more effective we
need to use a simple transformer the
input is 2.8 volts it's very low let's
see what's got into the output 64 66
volts the pipe doesn't have a normal
contact I'm going to clean it up and
make it better so what do we have here
it's hundred ninety nine volts it's two
hundred on most content 20 it shines
brightly okay
so he's using a transformer to boost
that voltage up to a level he can power
something with like LED lights so is it
true can you grab energy between your
neutral and earth wires that is free to
you and can you boost it with the
transformer that much let's see if I can
find such a difference at my home the
thing is that if your home is properly
wired it must be well grounded to earth
and neutral and earth wires must be
shorted together somewhere in the power
system but can there still be a voltage
difference now I want to find something
at home that's grounded so I'm using a
light bulb that's connected to the live
wire on one side and I'll connect the
other side too exposed metals if the
light turns on it means the metal is
grounded now that's thinking outside the
box
look let's check this pipe back that was
pretty sure it was grounded but it's not
sometimes I think thinking inside the
box can save your life see when I touch
the lamp to the metal the live voltage
traveled through the lamp to the metal
and if the metal is not grounded it will
become live and can shock you let's just
not touch anything nothing here nothing
here Oh GFCI port there it is
so that pipe was really connected to
earth
but then does it mean if I try to run
current between neutral and earth my
GFCI would pop and I can't do it here
well let's try it out here we have the
neutral and earth wires and if we short
them there it pops so good news
everybody there is voltage between them
but if you use it GFCI pops I have to go
somewhere else
let's check the toaster around the
dealer this is a stupid dangerous way to
check for grounding but is there
anything grounded around here okay the
fridge is not grounded
what Oh
my neutral wire is touching the fridge
body as well let's bend that away how
about the oven body hey that's grounded
that's one how about the dishwasher body
there you go that's grounded too if I
measure the voltage between the body of
the dishwasher and the neutral wire I
see a very tiny difference though unless
I turn on my microwave and then the
voltage rises close to one volt the
voltage difference between the ground
wire and the body of the dishwasher
remains zero though it means that all I
need is to harvest the energy between
the neutral and ground wires which
thankfully exists in North America let's
see if we can use this voltage for
anything here we have the neutral and
earth wires here and the voltage between
them is only 260 millivolts I get a
transformer from an old wall adapter
that I've removed the rectifier and
capacitor from and if I plug it into the
120 volt AC and measure across the
secondary output I read around seven and
a half volt AC which means the primary
to secondary winding ratio is 16 to one
so if instead of primary I connect an AC
across the secondary I should see 16
times the voltage across the primary but
haven't you seen my videos you can't
just simply switch the primary and
secondary on the AC lines
or you can see it because YouTube has
removed it for being too dangerous don't
do this at home now you have high
voltages the reason is that in a
step-down transformer we have much more
windings on the primary and so much
higher impedance 120 volt there draws
very little current but the secondary
has much fewer turns and so much smaller
impedance 120 volt bear will blow up but
we can place a small AC across it and
the current would be pretty small and
nothing will blow up so I can flip the
transformer around and connect a neutral
and earth wires to it and have around
280 or 90 millivolts and at the other
side I would have almost 5 volts now if
I have to reverse parallel LEDs like
this and put them across the output they
turn on but these LEDs run on 3 volts
and 5 volt would blow them up which
means the output can't maintain its
voltage and drops to around 3 volts but
hey still there is energy between
neutral and Earth we can harvest is this
free energy though no the reason we have
this voltage difference is wire
resistance
let me demonstrate using let me
demonstrate with low voltage DC lines we
have positive and negative DC lines here
with around 7 volt across them now
imagine this positive line is our live
wire and this negative line splits into
two wires which are neutral and Earth
so normally there wouldn't be any
voltage difference between these two
wires as they are shorted but if I place
like a resistive load between my live
wires and run current through them
around 3 amps right now then there will
be voltage drop across these wires
because of their resistance and the
positive line drops by around 2 volts
and the negative line rises by around 2
volts so now if we measure between our
earth and neutral we don't reach 0 and
but around 2 volts and we can take this
voltage and turn something on with it
like this led you might think this tiny
current is running from neutral to earth
and is not counted towards your power
bill oh the fact is that now the
livewire sends current that mostly goes
through neutral but some of it also goes
to earth but all the current passes
through life anyway it's not free energy
you still pay for it it's not even worth
harvesting stop calling it free energy
now this voltage difference can be
higher based on the current through the
powerlines the length of the power lines
and how well the grounding is and that's
why Crossan was reading 3 volts between
his wires see right now I'm reading
around 240 really both ac between
neutral and earth which translates to
around four and a half volts at the
output of the transformer now if I turn
on my soldering iron and blowtorch to
draw much more current from the power
lines the voltage difference changes to
saving handy variable AC which is like
10 volts at the output of the
transformer the thing is that when he
was reading 2.2 volts the transformer
output was 66 volts which means the
transformer ratio was 30 to one which is
reasonable considering the run on 220
volt AC but then after he cleaned his
contacts the transformer output went up
to 200 volt AC that means 6 and a half
volts between neutral and earth there
grounding must be which is not
surprising in those places I remember
back in Iran we would touch our fridge
door handle and get electrocuted I mean
bad grounding is not the worst thing you
have to deal with back there and the
typical solution to such problems is
good luck
wait so thank you everyone for getting
me to 3 million subscribers
