'Did I discharge that?': Big Clive's very loud high voltage unbagging
A grey sack of AliExpress spark modules opened the week, and a USB ioniser shaped like a spaceman followed it from a work trip.
bigclivedotcomStory of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
AliExpress unbag joy - The VERY LOUD HIGH VOLTAGE one
Five uploads, and the loudest of them came first. "AliExpress unbag joy - The VERY LOUD HIGH VOLTAGE one" is Clive tipping out another grey sack of cheap modules, this time spark and arc generators, with a reminder in the description that in the UK an electronic spark generator waved around in public counts as brandishing a weapon. It has passed 127,000 views, the most of anything he posted this week.
The comments have settled on one running joke: his habit of asking whether he discharged something and then checking with a finger. Viewers also argue over favorites, from a quiet module with a steady purple arc to an 18650-powered one several call the spiciest, and one points out that these modules are sold for lighting boilers and, in his view, potato cannons. A long-time viewer counts careers, jobs and three house moves since first tuning in.
Midweek brought "Inside the high voltage spaceman," filmed in work accommodation rather than at the usual bench. Clive suspected the little USB astronaut might be a fake; it turned out to be a simple bipolar ioniser with two carbon fibre tufts, and he explains the corona chemistry in some detail. A triple bulb solar lantern, which he treats as a starter kit for modding, and a quick fix for a Pixel 6A unlock glitch filled the gaps.
Saturday's second unbagging, with glow gravel and a solder holder, is making the fastest start of the lot. Daily views overall sit a little below his usual pace, and about 10,000 new subscribers arrived over the week. Among similar tech channels, Digital Doctor is having by far the biggest week, while bigclivedotcom sits near the bottom for views gained, as several neighbors also run quieter than normal.
