BURN: Destroying Plasma TV With Microwave Transformer

March 28, 2012 / burn baby burn!, dammit i was really hoping this was gonna end with a fire, electricity, i am going to hook a microwave tranformer up to everything i own and see what happens!, i liked this, if it ain't broke break it, if it is broke break it more until it's just complete trash, plaaaaaasma! (now imagine earthworm jim saying it), plasma, please try this at home with all your tv's and let me know what happens, shocking, sparks, television, tv, yes

This is a video of a guy destroying a broken plasma screen by attaching a microwave transformer to the thing to overpower it. Did I mention brobro also provides some colorful commentary? Because he does that too. It takes a little while to get going though, so skip to around 1:30 for the real show to begin. Then skip around for a bit, because after that it's about 13-minutes of the same. I just can't in good conscious let you watch the whole thing. Because I care. "You tried to get me to cross the street with traffic coming!" I want you dead.

Hit the jump for the worthwhile arcing and sparking action, as well as another video of a different TV that goes faster, albeit less spectacular.

Thanks to the TOASTer, who can fry TV's too you but you don't hear him bragging about it because he prefers to mind his own business and just heat bagels and bread.

  • Well Geekologie writer. In your writings you state "I just can't in good conscious let you watch the whole thing." Now, I in good conscience can not let this travesty continue. See, what you mean is conscience: The sense or consciousness of the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one's own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or be good. And not conscious: Perceiving, apprehending, or noticing with a degree of controlled thought or observation.
