Biography

Sadaghdar was born in Iran in 1977 and resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1][2] He earned a Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering at the University of Tehran in 1999 and a Master of Engineering in electrical engineering at Simon Fraser University in 2006.[7][8]

YouTube

His videos are "hilariously painful tutorials" of electric experiments during which he often receives electric shocks.[9][10][11][12] He intentionally creates situations where a shock (or sometimes fire) is created for comedic effect and to demonstrate the dangers of electricity when not properly handled.[13] As of June 2020, his channel has over 3.6 million subscribers.[14] His most viewed video with over 13 million views, "How NOT to make an electric guitar", demonstrates the hazards of electricity.[15]
