        He really showed only induction in that video, that everyone knew about. And a very small current only goes in the first pulse. Rest of the current flows as you would normally expect. Electroboom explained it pretty well and this video didn’t really disprove or argue against that at all

        My main concern with his video was a lack of a real explanation. He never once used the word induction, for instance.

        The AlphaPhoenix video I linked proves Veritasium “true”. It wasn’t even a rebuttal, really. It’s just that he had a problem with what Veritasium was saying about current and what it means to light up a light bulb.

        Just because no one made another video after Veritasium made a follow-up one, just means everyone was tired of the subject. I have not watched Veritasium’s follow-up video because his first one offended me so much I blocked his channel. It’s not the content that was wrong, necessarily, it was the way he presented it. It was all hand waving without trying to get people to truly understand the thought experiment. It pissed me off.

        (I just edited my original comment to change rebuttal to response. Also, I removed all the other links because I haven’t watched them yet, so I can’t say anything about them.)
