I sacrifice a Fluke voltage tester in order to explain the theory and how it's made. Thank you for your help! http://www.Patreon.com/AvE

fluke 2nd time after warranty does not work well
Thank you for making this so easy for my lady-brain to understand even though I'm not I gentleman. Phallic imagery notwithstanding this was informative and funny as hell.
Wow! Very educational!
If I was in my storm shelter and the power lines fell on top of if and the door was electrified…. Would this pick it up from distance away and beep? Would this be a down and dirty way to make sure that my steel storm shelter door is not full of electricity before touching it?
Is it possible to have just a capacitor with a light and no battery ?
If they are using your body then why do they also work when I jam one in an outlet and leave beeping while I go to the breaker box to find the circuit? I'm no longer part of the circuit. I do notice they behave differently (more sensitive I believe) while I am holding it though.
I've got what you might call an old "full-contact" voltage tester from my Grampy. It's two wires with stakes connected to a single neon bulb in a plastic housing, with a little pocket clip on it. You stick both metal stakes into a socket, and if the bulb lights up the socket works. Sketchy as fuck, but neat.
I love it when I’m trying to figure something out and one of your vids shows up as a search result. Too bad I may be too stupid to understand but I’ll keep trying for now. Magic pixies are confusing 🙁
Prefer nuggets myself
I love how it doesn't light up if the battery is depleted.
There are no chickens when electricity is concerned, only fools.
Great vidier but I’m disappointed you didn’t put the induction dickorator into a massive hoard of angry pixies!
As an electrican hot sticks saved my life more then once. Even when the circuit is off I always always always hot stick it. I found out that several circuits that were off were still energized!
your description of a schmitt trigger isn't very good. A schmitt trigger changes the switching thershhold voltage in the other direction of the output voltage whenever the output gets switched.. That prevents any signal which is close to the switching voltage from switching on and off rapidly due to noise or a small changing signal.
