Hacker News Comments on
Turbo charging a 120V Presto hot dogger on 250V.

bigclivedotcom · Youtube · 1 HN comments
HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention bigclivedotcom's video "Turbo charging a 120V Presto hot dogger on 250V.".
Youtube Summary
Many thanks to Kim Sleep for sending this original Presto hot dogger across for our entertainment.
These things work by applying full mains voltage directly to the hot dogs via the spikes in their ends so the current will be much higher with a higher voltage.
It cooks them very efficiently, with just a little bit of arcing and burning at the ends.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Is that the notorious and difficult-to-find Presto Hotdogger (snausage/tube-steak electrocutioner apparatus)?

Well, I definitely felt informed after watching that. No idea what use I could ever have for that information, though.

Probably educational in the sense that V = IR rather than "for mysterious reasons you must connect a 120V appliance to 120V and not 240V".
⬐ teh_klev
Oh hai....would you prefer a 470ohm or 1k ohm hotdog for lunch?
