Biography

Sadaghdar was born in Iran in 1977 and resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1][2] He was conferred a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of Tehran in 1999 and a Master of Applied Science from Simon Fraser University in 2006.[8][9]

YouTube

His videos are "hilariously painful tutorials" of electric experiments during which he often receives electric shocks.[10][11][12][13] He intentionally creates situations where a shock (or sometimes a fire) is created for comedic effect and to demonstrate the dangers of electricity when not properly handled.[14] As of December 14, 2021, his channel has over 4.88 million subscribers.[15] His most viewed video with over 17 million views, "How NOT to make an electric guitar", demonstrates the hazards of electricity.[16] He also monitors the ElectroBOOM subreddit from time to time, answering questions that users have posted.[17][18]
