How to Start Electrical Fires ~ Burning/Blowing Up Resistors With Science!!!
Make fire and blow up resistors while also putting sound electronic theory into practice. Is there a more fun way to learn? I doubt it!

Burning resistors is fun and I had a lot of fun making this video. I did make my whole garage smell like an electrical fire in the process though. The big point to drive home with these experiments, especially the ones involving low voltages such as the ones using only 10Volts, is that if you over power a resistor it will burnout and possibly catch on fire. In a controlled environment it's not a big deal but if this were in a wood casing, or around flammable liquids this could get really bad really fast. So make sure you spend a few minutes, do some math, and make sure you aren't about to burn your house down with your DIY/Science/Physics project! Also the smoke from resistors burning can cause some eye irritation and make sure if you're going to do this you wear eye protection in the resistors explode.
I tried to cover the basics of ohm's law and the power equation. I also tried to cover the primary differences between resistors in parallel and resistors in series. If you have any questions regarding these items please ask in the comments and I'll be more than happy to answer.
I hope you enjoyed this video and if you haven't already, please support this channel by subscribing! And watch some of the other videos on my channel. I try and push out the highest quality videos as I can but I'm always open to some constructive criticism, so leave me a comment if you see something I could be doing better.
Also make sure you don't do what's described in the video titled "A Fire Department Warned People To Never Make This Dangerous Mistake With An Extension Cord" by nollygrio (https://youtu.be/W9U9ZXQWdXw)
The video titled "Resistor burning slowly" by afrotechmods (https://youtu.be/MUfMPjMAwx8) inspired me to make this video.
