I have never made a video featuring MOTs (Microwave Oven Transformers). The high voltage, and more importantly - high current, means they are as dangerous as playing with overhead lines or being in an electric chair.

This video does NOT apply to the spot welder projects where the dangerous high voltage secondary is removed completely and replaced with a few turns of heavy wire for low voltage and high current.

Seeing non-technical people playing with open transformers with car jump leads connecting them to wet salty wood outdoors or in a garage is scary, especially when they handle the low-voltage rated cables while the transformer is powered. Even worse when kids are involved. Yep.
It's made a lot worse by the number of people that have been discovered in burning garages because the transformer continued to pump out current after they were dead.

This is a show about inventing, creating, and reviewing products.
