[1926.14 --> 1926.38] Ah!
[1926.94 --> 1927.36] Okay.
[1927.36 --> 1928.94] So some of it involves magnets.
[1929.48 --> 1932.60] So changing magnetic field causes something.
[1932.90 --> 1934.00] It causes a current to flow.
[1934.10 --> 1934.50] Thank you.
[1934.60 --> 1934.90] Okay.
[1935.80 --> 1937.68] Other options involve microwaves.
[1938.34 --> 1944.58] So with, like, a beam, you can actually use microwaves to send power remotely.
[1944.58 --> 1954.08] However, that is, while possible and actually, like, works, super hazardous.
[1954.68 --> 1956.40] And, like, that's a big problem.
[1956.40 --> 1957.56] Have you seen the videos?
[1958.38 --> 1959.68] There was a channel.
[1959.76 --> 1960.56] I forget the guy's name.
[1960.64 --> 1962.82] But there was a channel of a guy from the Ukraine, I think.
[1963.20 --> 1966.58] And he took, like, the magnetron out of a microwave.
[1967.14 --> 1971.62] And he stuck, like, a tin can on top of it and pointed it at a boom box.
[1971.64 --> 1972.52] And the boom box exploded.
[1973.48 --> 1973.84] Wow.
[1974.12 --> 1974.36] Yeah.
[1974.54 --> 1976.16] So some pretty serious stuff here.
[1976.28 --> 1976.54] No, no.
[1976.54 --> 1977.64] That wasn't what I was surprised by.
[1977.68 --> 1979.64] I was surprised by you calling it the Ukraine.
[1980.10 --> 1981.66] You're usually the king of geography.
[1982.54 --> 1983.50] It's Ukraine.
[1983.60 --> 1985.08] Yeah, they took out the the a long time ago.
[1985.36 --> 1985.50] No!
[1985.72 --> 1987.50] I beat John at something!
[1987.74 --> 1992.62] Just because I use a slightly antiquated term for a country that's not even really incorrect.
[1992.90 --> 1994.54] I got to take the victories I can get, okay?
[1994.60 --> 1994.90] Okay.
[1995.04 --> 1995.40] Very good.
[1995.48 --> 1995.82] All right.
[1996.34 --> 1999.30] So the concept here, this is really cool.
[1999.38 --> 2001.02] This is, like, next level stuff.
[2001.02 --> 2005.46] You walk into the room with a smartphone in your pocket and it starts charging.
[2005.80 --> 2006.04] Boom!
[2006.70 --> 2013.58] So researchers actually built a freestanding living room with aluminum panels covering the walls, floor, and ceiling.
[2014.12 --> 2018.56] In the center of the room, a two-inch copper pipe runs vertically from floor to ceiling.
[2018.56 --> 2025.68] Electric current runs down through the pipe into the floor and up the walls, looping it.
[2025.74 --> 2026.18] Get this.
[2026.68 --> 2029.76] 1.3 million times per second.
[2029.94 --> 2030.94] 1.3 megahertz.
[2032.06 --> 2036.70] Sounds less impressive when you put it in the context of, like, you know, CPUs.
[2036.70 --> 2037.18] Yeah.
[2037.44 --> 2037.62] Yeah.
[2037.62 --> 2039.00] Except it's not the same kind of hertz.
[2039.08 --> 2039.86] But trust me, it's a lot.
[2040.06 --> 2040.48] It's a lot.
[2040.56 --> 2041.06] And this is cool.
[2041.68 --> 2049.20] The looping electricity creates a room-filling magnetic field running in a circular pattern perpendicular to the pole.
[2050.12 --> 2053.38] So no humans can stand within 46 centimeters.
[2053.40 --> 2055.22] That's about a foot and a half for our American viewers.
[2055.22 --> 2055.42] Yeah.
[2055.86 --> 2059.74] Of the copper pool because your body will absorb dangerous amounts of energy.
[2060.76 --> 2071.08] But the researchers say it is safe to transmit 1.9 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power up to 320 USB-powered devices.
[2071.08 --> 2074.40] I can see Pella's brain exploding.
[2075.08 --> 2082.74] So Pella's, just to put this in the appropriate context, Pella's mom is a researcher on the effects of EMF on humans.
[2082.74 --> 2089.68] And it is her belief that we are underestimating.
[2089.82 --> 2091.54] And I'm putting this fairly mildly.
[2091.80 --> 2099.04] But it is her belief that we are underestimating the effects of all the waves and bullcrap that are going on around us.
[2099.86 --> 2106.38] And I get the feeling that she probably wouldn't want to live on a block that has one of these on it.
[2106.86 --> 2107.36] Do I get that?
[2107.42 --> 2108.60] Did I get that right, Pella?
[2109.00 --> 2109.70] He's nodding.
[2109.84 --> 2110.14] He says yes.
[2110.14 --> 2112.72] Would she want to live in a city that has one of these in it?
[2113.60 --> 2115.36] I'm getting the head shake.
[2116.56 --> 2135.14] Honestly, you know what's really interesting about this is that I think we're finally getting to the point where I'm right up there with the guys that are like,
[2135.14 --> 2139.38] look, if you can't prove that it's causing a problem, it's probably fine.
[2139.76 --> 2140.46] It's a magnet.
[2140.88 --> 2143.06] We're surrounded by magnets and crap anyway.
[2143.30 --> 2149.64] I mean, there's hippie morons out there that wear them because they think that it will channel their chi or whatever.
[2150.46 --> 2151.48] They didn't die.
[2151.48 --> 2153.54] So it's probably fine.
[2154.10 --> 2156.34] Like, I usually kind of take that approach.
[2156.42 --> 2156.84] Go ahead.
[2156.96 --> 2160.86] Put an implant in my, you know, eye that helps me, you know, see better.
[2161.64 --> 2169.64] There's never, to my knowledge, there's never been any study that actually suggests that things like EM interference is actually like hazardous or cancer causing or anything.
[2169.64 --> 2173.82] I mean, yeah, if you get bombarded with gamma rays or something, that's a little bit different.
[2173.98 --> 2175.48] But I'm talking about, you know, electronics.
[2175.94 --> 2179.72] But this makes me a little uncomfortable.
[2180.74 --> 2184.74] Well, just don't stand less than 1.5 feet from it.
[2184.80 --> 2185.04] Right.
[2185.04 --> 2193.88] But this 46 centimeter thing, like, it's not like, it's not like a microwave oven where we go, yeah, that stuff's dangerous.
[2194.06 --> 2195.06] Yeah, like you shouldn't do this.
[2195.08 --> 2197.72] You put your head in there and it's a big problem, but it's okay.
[2197.88 --> 2201.26] We put a Faraday cage around it where we have the Faraday cage.
[2201.38 --> 2204.74] This is a well understood thing and it's fine.
[2206.14 --> 2209.94] And here we're saying, yeah, it's fine.
[2210.28 --> 2211.28] Don't get too close.
[2211.46 --> 2212.66] How close is too close?
[2212.82 --> 2213.82] Well, this, I guess.
[2213.82 --> 2215.70] And you know what?
[2215.76 --> 2217.38] I'm sure there's science to back this up.
[2217.50 --> 2232.12] I'm sure it's, you know, and I'm sure Twitch chat is full of people raging at me because Disney has already demonstrated that beyond exactly 46 centimeters, you know, it fades away into the background radiation of which there is lots.
[2232.12 --> 2232.52] I know.
[2234.10 --> 2236.02] But it's like a foot and a half.
[2236.24 --> 2236.88] It's dangerous.
