that’s a killer gadget!
If it’s plastic, then it’s fine.
A bit of copper would spice things up
better if it’s rubber
It can melt plastic does that count?
Plastic isn’t a conductor, so the current wouldn’t travel between the posts across the handle.
Metal is a conductor and would get very hot in a dead short melting plastic.
Yes but it wouldn’t short because the current from one terminal would not travel across the plastic handle to the other
Hmm. Giving it away a bit here. He cringes well before it discharges.
Obviously, Mehdi is an electrical engineer. The “dumb guy making things explode” is a persona he puts up to teach people about the dangers and wonders of electricity.
That’s… immensely cool. I wish him luck in his dangerous endeavors.
Does he have a youtube channel or sth
ElectroBoom, 6 million subs if I’m not mistaken
ohhhhhhh I’ve heard that name, but I’ve never watched him.
I should.
Oh he new it was gonna be spicy
Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won’t get stuck in it.
Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.
Took me a min to realize…
It was the last thing they made
With that hand, anyway.
You can really see the spark of creativity with this idea
Seems a bit short sighted to me.
Certainly won’t have any resisrance
I’m pretty amped about it!
Great Scott! This meme has summoned the Super Dads!
Well it does have potential
Your current optimism is well founded.
What happens next will SHOCK you
shocking dicovery
And quite current
Hot!
this one truly does spark joy…
In short, this is a battery handle.
It will unleash the battery’s potential
Might be terminal though
Are you positive? It’s a negative over here
Perhaps, but I think we’ll see a high level of resistance.
That might be a hot take.
Yes yes fun fun. In real life, I have some pretty huge batteries and there is a handle on each but the handle is a non-conductive rope.
Correct, horse!
Battery staple.
Say you made this, but insulated… does a car battery have enough structural strength in the terminals, though? I imagine you’re left holding a handle with two terminals and half a cell stuck to each.
I work in an auto parts warehouse:
Yeah, they’d be fine. It’s surprisingly difficult to break them apart. The load would spread out to almost the full width of the battery on either end (ie the plates attached to the terminals against the underside of the lid). Some of the models I ship use plastic straps that hook onto the seam between the lid and base and you can really toss em around before they take damage. (some people are less than gentle with parts :/ but I’m not the manager so 🤷)
Some of the larger batteries with screw terminals might not survive, but the ones where these clamp style are used would be fine.
… It’s conducive
Say you made this, but insulated…
You just gotta use long screws to firmly connect it to the battery, or else it slips off.
And a face full of acid, I imagine
EXCUSE ME! Pictures like this belong on “rate my poo”
In space, nobody can hear your explosive diarrhea?
Ooo a budget space heater
I was going to say, automatic heating on the handle. Nice features!
👀
I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for “focus on what you’re doing” or something.
It’s a suicide cord. Works great for generators
Reminds me of this.
For anyone wondering beyond the meme, they make these clamp handles that hold batteries pretty well for moving them around.

Quick hand warner.
And warmer!
