These PSA style videos are never really that popular, but I feel it's important to put them out there in case it helps even one person avoid an electric shock incident.

Today I also ordered a really vintage ozone generator from the 1920's for exploration. It looks suitably wooden and dangerous.

This video is definitely going to upset the anti-ozone department of the flat-earther brigade.
It's main purpose is to avoid having to repeat the science of ozone each time I feature an ozone producing device. But it also tries to battle the huge amount of propaganda on the fashionista "health" websites.
I had to use an AvE reference for the shmoo. This unit was failing to produce enough schmoo for satisfactory shmooing.
But it's fixed now.

Since the "alcohol abuse" videos have been popular I'm going to jump the sherry one to the top of the list and release it today.
I actually wanted to call that playlist "alcohol abuse", but was worried YouTube might get feisty about the title.

I really enjoyed building this replacement. It's a simple tester I used to choose LEDs for specific prop-making projects back when gallium nitride LEDs were just becoming affordable from China, albeit usually out of factory dumpsters.

Just a little extra video, because the circuitry is based on a blob instead of the discrete circuitry I was hoping for.
YouTube really doesn't like the word "pussy".

This one is much better than most of the others. It has a serious circuit design with proper battery protection that suggests the designer was fairly competent.
