There are pro audio amplifiers that are capable of producing >120v RMS at their output terminals. I would be much more interested in seeing a youtuber purchase one of these and attempt to run a bunch of household appliances using it. Blowing up random shit with ridiculous amounts of power got pretty old for me as a form of entertainment.
I wonder how true the claims really are. Rod E. of sound-au.com even questions the claims. I see some cheap "1500" watt RMS 8 ohm speakers for like 150 bucks, might be a good test, plug it into the wall through a variac and turn up the power to the full 1500W and see how long it lasts. I am too lazy to look right now but I am sure someone has tried this and put up a video.

These competition grade units would probably trip your breaker before they burn up.
I still would still like to see how long a so called 8 ohm 1500W speaker will survive on 100-120 VAC mains.
What power level? 120V on a 15A breaker?
I = V/R and a typical speaker is 8 ohms which does happen to result in 15A at 120V. Interesting.
I love how this video has a modern "podcast" setup, yet the lighting and camera quality are still consistent with a decade ago when I started watching the zany experiments.
Popping up in my subscription-feed after 5 years was a highlight <3
And it def. IS nerdy :D
If anything, we're all celebrating he's still alive!
whats remarkable is he looks _younger_ now than five years ago. perhaps I should playing around with megajoules of power.
I was quite worried that he'd gone off the deep end when he published that video
Its one of those things that was borne out of tabloid panic (IMPORTING WIVES AND FAMILIES!!) which means that now everyone has to go through pain until a scandal or another panic causes a change.
The most powerful circuit I ever made dealt with 100A continuous and 200A peak at 24V, this guy is is simply on another level I can't even begin to wrap my head around.
