What Happens When You Plug a SUICIDE CORD in a LIVE OUTLET? Do Not Try This Ever

Sometimes they bring two phases to the outlet in the kitchen, because there are appliances that draw more. If you plug that into one of those, you'l get some sparks!

Bro what it’s just a wire nut like come on common sense now

You connect neutral to neutral - nothing happens. Ground to ground - nothing happens. Live to live - the same as if you twist two live wires together - you just get one thick live wire. Case closed.

I want to see you get another longer suicide cord and plug it into a receptacle fed from another phase. Maybe that would make for a more exciting video?

Plug it into another outlet on a different phase.

BORING! 😂

IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU USE IT = TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER SWITCH AND DO NOT USE ANYTHING WITH HIGH WATTAGE OR AMPS

Biiig bada boom

Please try it with 2 DIFFERENT OUTLETS ON DIFFERENT CIRCUITS.

basically they are gay, right?

This is the fastest way to travel.

this shouldn't be shocking (pun intended), to anyone that has wired an outlet before. if you don't break the link on the terminals, they are by default linked and this just adds another link in parallel.

Had one for years on my welding machine. Had portable light plant that had lost its residual magnesium. Mine safety and health administration sh-t there pants when one of there inspector s seen it .

I am distracted by the screaming outlet, I can't focus. 🤣🤣🤣

Cross one of the cables and then try

Also known as gay cord

Most often time cables made like that so when your power goes out you can plug your little generator directly into your wall but you first have to go and remove your meter cuz whatever plug line that you plug into everything that was on that circuit is now drawing apps from the generator so if you want to just power your refrigerator our fridge and TV you can do it with that cord do not make it longer voltage is one thing amperage that you're enemy it will draw amps away from your generator and shorten your run time

I thought that it was going to short, but a fraction of a second after it didn't, I realized why and facepalmed! 😂

There could be other types of wiring configurations for an outlet like this. The top and bottom could be fed from two different circuits if the connecting tabs have been removed. If those two different circuits are from two different legs in the panel you might be looking at much different results.

I love how outlets look at you with a sad face lol

You can also try this with two of apples USB-C fast charging power bricks and one USB-C to USB-C

Good luck trying to explain to anyone, male and female connectors this day and age.

Now cut one ground off the suicide cord and plug that end in upside down

😂 because there’s no load, the plug doesn’t give u power the load draws from it, further more it’s at the same potential.

I have made one once in my life out of spare shit I had laying around to power a 4 way plug gang that had a bad in plug on it by inserting into one of the the gang sockets... that's the only time DO NOT DO & have to say it worked fine in a pinch...

Duh? 99.999999% of the time. It's that .000001% that will kill you. And it only needs to happen once.

Now try it in a kitchen with an outlet with the tabs broken and on opposite legs... BANG!

What happens if you plug it into an outlet 4 ft away?

Difference of potential….=0…Like every other buss bar in most modern panels….
Two bus’s bars next to each other…208v…do not attempt.

You're lucky the top and bottom outlets weren't wired to separate circuits, or your result would have been quite different.

Would have been prudent to wear eye-protection, also.

Nothing. Unless you get the prongs crossed.

It will do absolutely nothing

what happens if you plug it in two different outlets

why are you wearing latex gloves??? dirt? they wont protect you for electrical so ya know. rolls eyes

what happens if you plug one end to a running generator and one end to a live wall outlet I think that is where the name comes from

What Happens When You Plug a SUICIDE CORD in a LIVE OUTLET?
It goes ZZZZZOTTTT!!!!, the breaker trips, and you cant see anything but a green and purple stripe in your vision shaped like a lightning bolt for about 4 hours, and/or you get a real good jolt and have a heart attack, or at the very least piss yourself. 🤣🤣

Who does not know this?

Brits, with ring mains, not surprised.

Click bait

The gay cord

No potential difference no bang

nothing

😅

If you ever wondered what time it was, consider this: AI abounds and yet something as fundamental as electricity is still subject to fantastic theories.

Let me off of this ride.

“So that’s probably not the result you were expecting”
Meanwhile at that city’s power plant:
”CODE RED! CODE RED! WERE GONNA DIE!”

Even if you had a really long cord and plugged each end into different outlets on different circuits, you would still be just connecting leads at the same voltage.

Now try this on 2 separate outlets on different phases

Plug it into two separate outlets.

In the hood we call it a "Homo cable".
