Troll Physics..Electrical Engineering


Recommended Posts

First off you guys are looking way to much into this video. It is a troll for a reason, obviously it is not possible. Any of you who think it is need to be slapped. Second of all, it does not matter how it works, because the simple fact it would not work in real life. As for the glare, two identical lights would appear to give an identical glare, however, you should not be able to lay one ontop of the other and see no difference, in this case there is no difference and it is just an effect in after effects and placed over each one. Not hard to do at all. I can do the same video with better lighting effects if you like just to prove this point.

So, any updates on this? I'd like to see what you can come up with since it's "Not hard to do at all".

For those of us who know better and are interested in the real solution, the video creator mentioned there are capacitors under the left and right series LEDs. That's just part of the solution. I still can't think of what other components are hidden, and how they are arranged to make it work.

So if there are capacitors they are probably acting as filters, but then I'm interested in where is the part that sends some sort of modulated signal towards them, hidden perhaps in each one of the switches? but that's going way to far and I think the solution is simpler than that...

**** how it works. Im impressed how quick the guy solders in the first video.

Wow....

Soldering that quickly isn't hard, I'm just amazed that the stuff held together with the ****ty job he was doing.

Problem is that the components shown in the troll video aren't big enough to fit/hide all these components. Best example is the battery. The battery has no power connections running into it so it is still a battery. The "explanation" video shows at least 12 components in the "battery" with 2 separate power connections. With this explanation, the "fake" battery of the troll video would have to have 2 power sources, meaning separate batteries, shoved into the space of one, plus all of the other components shown. Then in the actual circuit part that is separate from the battery part, there are around 11 extra components. Where exactly did he hide those components in the troll video? The explanation video claims that he could easy hide components in large LED's and bulbs but larger LED's and bulbs were not used in the troll video. In the troll video, we even see the bottom of the LED's and see that they are just regular LED's.

The explanation video shows a way to do it, but not the way it was done in the troll video.

If he disassembled the battery and put the xtal and two lithium batteries in there, it actually may work...

Even if you assume he pulled that off, you are left with to many components that cant all be hidden in the switches and the LEDs are the small standard LEDs which don't have room to hide everything he shows. Remember everything is in series and some of the components are not in direct connection with the switches which means those could not be hidden in the switches.

Yeah but remember he also used capacitors, he may put an even smaller version of resonant inside of the battery, then with the hidden capacitors he may have filtered different frequencies, hence turning off and on the leds. The frequencies may be altered inside the switches... but I'm trying to figure how...

The problem is still there that the LED's in the troll video are to small to hide what is needed. The parts have to be connected to the LED and cannot be connected to the switches because it is a series circuit. Otherwise all the LED's would turn on together because the components that modified what frequencies they respond to would effect them all, not just one.
