To engage with the chat you'll need to view it on YouTube.

I think Clive did a video on these, Try looking for "Are these stun gun modules And do they hurt (yes)" I'm pretty sure it is the same thing you're talking about, and, no, they are about 20kv, which in chinese is 400kv!

Great streams lately, Clive - thanks! While looking for various modules online, I've seen some of these ultra-high voltage generators (they claim 400kV!), like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001387777482.html I'd suggest one for a teardown, but it's definitely potted end-to-end by the look of it, so maybe its insides are not interesting enough to warrant that effort. Not sure. But I'm curious if you know what on earth these are intended for? They're low-duty-cycle, don't like being activated no-load. The only things that come to mind for me are taser-type electric dischage weapons/cattle prods/etc and electric gas igniters -- but the voltage seems way too high for those. As far as I know, a Taser's open-circuit voltage is only in the 20-40kV range, and electronic gas igniters are in the single-digit kV's. What on earth does one need 400kV from a low-voltage DC source for? And how can they do it for a buck?

Oh that's grim. I wonder what he did.

Big Clive

It is. It reminds me of a version of the plasma globes that had lightning bolts inside it.

Big Clive

That tube is so cool.

Nothing like a midweek chat and chill session. I think there should be a Jager for Wife, Brother and unborn child of this Man who decided to make his own Gender Reveal. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tasneemnashrulla/gender-reveal-death-explosion

Midweek kickback and have a chat.

Perhaps a quite entertainment you've not happened upon previously... They're Made out of Meat: By, Terry Bisson, 1991"They're made out of meat."  "Meat?""Meat. They're made out of meat."  "Meat?""There's no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."  "That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars, the droids sent to the planets within their system?""They use radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them directly. The signals come from machines."  "So who made the droids, the machines? That's who we want to contact.""Meat made the machines and droids. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Meat made all that stuff."  "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? Now you're asking me to believe in sentient meat???""I'm not asking you! I'm telling you!!!" These creatures are the only sentient race in this sector and they're made entirely of meat."  "Okay, maybe they're like the Orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage.""Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life cycles. Do you have any idea the lifespan of meat?"Do please, spare me! Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the Weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside.""Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads like the Weddilei. As I told you, we completely probed them, they're meat all the way through."  "No brain?""Oh, there is a brain alright. It's just that the brain is made out of meat!"  "So... What is it that does the thinking?""You're not understanding this are you? The brain does the thinking... The meat."  "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!""Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat! Dreaming meat! The meat is the whole deal! Are you now getting the big picture???"  "Omigod! You're serious then. They're made out of meat.""Finally! Yes! They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a one hundred of their years."  "So what is it this meat has in mind?""First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the universe, contact other sentients, swap ideas, information, the usual."  "So we're now supposed to talk to the meat?""That's the general idea. That's pretty much the message they're sending out by radio wave. 'Hello. Anyone out there? Anybody home?' That sort of thing."  "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?""Oh yes, exactly so. Except they do it with meat."  "I thought you just told me they used radio waves.""They do, but what do you think is on the radio waves? Meat sounds! You know how when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? That's how they communicate, by flapping their meat at each other. They even sing by squirting volumes of air through their meat."  "Omigod!!! Singing meat! This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?""Officially or unofficially?"  "Yes.""Officially, we are required to contact, welcome, and log in any and all sentient races or multi-beings within this quadrant, without prejudice, fear, or favor. "Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."  "I was so hoping you would say that.""It seems harsh, but there is a limit!" "I mean, do we really want to make contact with meat?"  "I agree one hundred percent. What's one to say?" `Hello, meat. How's it hanging?' Will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?""Only the one. They are able to travel to other planets within their solar system, but only sealed in special meat containers, and they can't live in them very long. Being meat, they're only able to travel through C space, which limits them to significantly less than the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Actually, infinitesimal in fact."  "So we just pretend there's no one home in the universe.""That's about it."  "How cruel.""But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat?"So? What of the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you have probed? You're sure they won't remember?""They'll be considered crackpots and cranks if they do recall any of their experiences with us. We went through extra efforts to smooth out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."  "A dream to meat! How strangely twisted, that we should be meat's dream?""So, we can mark this sector unoccupied?" Yes, absolutely! Agreed then! Officially and unofficially! Case closed! Any others? Anyone else interesting in this galaxy?""Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star, G445 zone. They were in contact with us two galactic rotations ago, and would like to be friendly."  "They do always come around then don't they?""Why not? Just imagine how unbearably, how utterly cold and lonely the universe would be if one were left alone and wondering!"

I'll have to set an alarm on my phone because obviously patreon and youtube both will fail to notify me about it.

Greg

Thanks for sharing your time with us BC ❤️

Cerity

The horizontal sanitizing had forced youtubes' hand, the animated thumbnail is Clive waving a pink neon flower around :-)

Paul Slootman

Will definitely be tuning in!

Great !! I don’t use the chat much with them but really enjoy - look forward to it

RDM

Cool!

Michael Thompson

Certainly breaks the week up

I hope I can make this one...

Lostngone

At last something to look forward too. See you there clive
