Can you elaborate on how safe this circuit is when plugged directly into AC power without isolation? It’s easy for a new user That’s Not My Neighbor to get electrocuted if not careful, right?
Okay, that circuit looks seriously sketchy! Firstly, I can’t see any obvious overload protection. Secondly, is that ground wire properly connected? Thirdly, the wire gauge looks awfully thin for the power load. And fourth, isn’t that capacitor too close to the heat sink? Finally, I would never trust those alligator clips for anything beyond testing. For a safer adrenaline rush, maybe try the game Drift Hunters instead of playing with that fire hazard!

When I see dumb stuff asking for opinions, I think clickbait.

Intentional controversial moves and “mistakes” for more comments and discussions. Engagement bait. It’s a dirty cheap trick, but it works.
