    Check out bigclive on YouTube, he takes apart lots of electronics and breaks down the circuits. He investigated lots of cheaper, dodgier stuff too. Like lamps with usb ports that are mains voltage when the lamp is plugged in to recharge. Fun times.

    Or electroboom if you want to see what happens when you lack care around those same electronics

      I remember his video about people burning wood with microwave transformers. 2-3kV is some lethal shit. Some lady, one of the lucky survivors of an accident, had her hand mutilated as a result of messing with that kind of voltage.
