  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."

  • Bit of a late evening video here,

  • - Yeah, there's a reason for that, though. - Yeah.

  • Something I've never wanted to touch

  • as part of what we do,

  • because it's very dangerous. I don't know enough about it.

  • Sharks.

  • Right, it's not gonna be sharks.

  • Got a huge Tesla coil right there.

  • ( music playing )

  • - Electricity. - Yeah.

  • Kills you, moves a third of the speed of light.

  • - You don't see it coming. - Burns you, stops your heart.

  • It's just ridiculous, so I didn't really want to touch it.

  • Well, thankfully, we've got a...

  • electricity expert amongst us.

  • This is Dr. Megavolt.

  • So what powers this machine?

  • Yeah, what can you tell us about it?

  • How do you gather enough electricity to power this?

  • There's a big generator that is taking 240 volts AC

  • from the mains, steps it up to about 15,000 volts.

  • And that 15,000 volts comes through those cables

  • and into the machine, and it gets stepped up to a million volts.

  • ( gasps ) Oh, damn.

  • - A million volts? - Nice round number, though, isn't it?

  • Dan: Yeah, yeah.

  • How did you settle on a million?

  • Not million and one, just a million, right?

  • So, uh, you gonna show us some things that you can do,

  • and we'll see if we can get it in super slow motion.

  • Yeah, I've been doing this for 20 years,

  • and I think, as far as I know, I'm the first person

  • to wear a metal suit and get next to a big Tesla coil.

  • We're gonna do something that we don't usually do,

  • is open the shutter angle wide open

  • so each zap lasts for longer

  • in its, you know, individual image exposure,

  • and we're only gonna be at like 768 frames a second.

  • It's all about the multiple zaps,

  • as opposed to the actual travel of electricity,

  • which we'll never see using these cameras.

  • - Electricity's so fast, that it's just-- - It's damn fast.

  • Yeah. It's not gonna happen.

  • ( machine humming )

  • So if any of us were just to stand there right now...

  • - ... we would die. - A bit.

  • A bit.

  • - ( machine whirring louder ) - Dan: It's scary as it's charging up.

  • Yeah, it really is.

  • ( loud zapping )

  • ( guys laughing )

  • Whoa!

  • ( laughter )

  • Just like, ( imitates zapping )

  • - Dan: Whoa. - Gav: Watch this back.

  • Literally looks like powers in a video game.

  • Yeah, it's very "BioShock"-esque.

  • - It's like a Big Daddy with plasmids. - It really is.

  • Dan: I'm noticing around the electricity,

  • you can see the air sort of like--

  • is that heat waves that's coming out of it?

  • Dr. Megavolt: Yeah, there's a-- you can see a little shimmering above it.

  • Gav: So he's got staples riddling that plank.

  • Dan: So the electricity hits the staples--

  • - Gav: Yeah, nice and evenly spaced. - Dan: 'Cause then it heats up,

  • - it burns the wood. - Gav: Yeah.

  • ( loud zapping )

  • Oh, it's on fire! Oh!

  • Oh, wow!

  • Oh, my God!

  • Dragonfly's like, "What the hell?

  • What's going on?"

  • ( loud zapping )

  • Oh, tried to fly--

  • - Did he get hit? - No.

  • There it is.

  • Wow, like, I really love the staples.

  • You can see the individual staples,

  • And then the embers just come out of there.

  • Dr. Megavolt: Yeah, we discovered that by accident.

  • We picked up a piece of wood that was used in a scenery,

  • a piece of scenery on stage,

  • and it had some staples in it

  • from where the canvas had been stapled in.

  • Put it in there and it just went poom!

  • - Dan: That looks evil! - Dr. Megavolt: Yeah.

  • You know in a videogame when you enchant a weapon,

  • with, like, a flame thing,

  • and an electricity one, right?

  • That's what it looks like.

  • You guys know a lot about videogames.

  • Do you live in your mom's basement and listen to Rush?

  • Look, all right, we can't all live in an underground lair.

  • Jeez!

  • Dr. Megavolt: I just like this trick

  • because it's neat how the discharges

  • dance around on the surface of the sphere.

  • Gav: Yeah, it hugs the front of the ball, doesn't it?

  • - It's really cool. - Yeah, it is, because--

  • He got the dragonfly!

  • Oh, it's the dragonfly! We got the dragonfly!

  • - Dan: Yeah! - Gav: Get in that, son.

  • It looks like a giant dragonfly, though,

  • - 'cause it's just like-- - Gav: Well, we've probably supercharged it.

  • That's probably a mutant dragonfly now.

  • Dan: Yeah, there's just one eating someone down the road now.

  • I was scared for the dragonfly, was gonna get electrocuted.

  • Yeah. I think you were secretly hoping

  • - it would fly into it. - I was hoping it would, yeah.

  • ( loud zapping )

  • Oh ho! Look at that sight!

  • Gav: That's amazing!

  • So we made a special request.

  • We made a request for him to smash

  • the fluorescent bulbs together, just to see what happens.

  • ( loud zapping )

  • Sick, but good.

  • Like, that's ridiculous.

  • - Gav: That's neat, look at that. - That's ridiculous.

  • There's just so much going on.

  • That is such a feast for the eyes.

  • ( music playing )

  • Dan: If you came running at me, looking like that,

  • I would be gone.

  • Dan: That would be scarier than most things I can imagine.

  • - Imagine in a dark hallway. - Gav: Yeah.

  • Dan: It lights up the room.

  • Gav: You were talking about sharks.

  • I'd rather face a shark, I think, than that.

  • So gratuitously, we just wanted to see

  • what would happen if you smashed it

  • while it was just glowing red.

  • We wondered what would happen.

  • Gav: There it is.

  • ( music playing )

  • Mr. Megavolt: Everything looks better in slow-mo, doesn't it?

  • - Dan: That's our motto. - Gav: That is true.

  • We tend to agree.

  • Well, thanks a lot, Dr. Megavolt,

  • for coming in and showing us your skills.

  • And thank you, at home, for watching this episode

  • of "The Super Slow Show." We'll see you soon.

  • ( music playing )

  • Well, Dan, it's begun.

  • How often do we usually upload?

  • - Once every three weeks? - If that.

  • I'd say once a month, maybe?

  • Why don't we try 16 a month?

  • - So 16 times as much work? - Pretty much.

  • Seems reasonable.

  • Make sure you subscribe if you don't want to miss it.

  • - That is a lot of work. - That's a lot of work.

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
