knife in toaster

No matter the voltage toasters don't heat the bread by electrocuting it. At most the knife would get hot from the coils. All the electric stuff is no where near the slots in a toaster.
 
Power points in Australia supply 240v

huh?

The heating coils getting shorted to the slot/case (with a knife or other conductive item) WOULD make sparks....likely trip a breaker as well.:shock:

edit....after watching the video, I don't believe the toaster would explode like that. Period.

you do realize the coils are heated by a dead short right? like a lightbulb?
+ placed at one end of the wire, and - placed on the other end.
do this to a human and its called electricuiting

I'm not an electrician to know one way or the other but wouldn't you also have to be grounded for you to complete the circuit to be shocked. Kinda like a bird landing on a power line? Standing on a wooden/lenolium floor doesn't seem like a good enough ground for the person to be shocked.

On a different view yes I can see the toaster tripping a ground fault but I don't see it acting anything like the video showed unless it was faulty and its safety's are broken.
 
This is fake but a large Arc Flash can look like a explosion. I install Batteries in large scale UPS (Uninterrupted power supply) and have seen some very crazy arc flashes. I'v been hit with 540VDC. Heres a real arc flash Arc flash Accident - YouTube
I bet this guy sure wishes he was wearing his PPE
 
First ship i was engeneer on i made a ship wide Black out :oops:

Tripped a 440 V - ?? amp auto fuse in process, just had to re engage fuse to get power back.

Captain was not happy with me at all :roll: even tho we was in open Water and his lack of GPS and stuff for some minutes was no problem at all.

The knife is touching two wires. The electricity going through the wires is under resistance and it slows down and heats the wires. If you stick a knife between two of the wires the knife offer less resistance and the electricity shorts and heats up the knife and makes a big flash of light.

But this wasn't real

by pausing it at 1:05 and going essentially frame by frame you see the knife "disappear" and all he has in his hand is a handle as he stabs down with it.
