Mehdi Sadaghdar (/ˈmɛdiː səˈdæɡˌdɑːr/ MEH-dee sə-DAG-dar;[1] Persian: مهدی صدقدار, romanized: Mehdī Ṣadaqdār, IPA: [meɦd̪iː sæd̪æʁd̪ɒːɾ]; born 13 January 1977),[2] also known as ElectroBOOM, is an Iranian-Canadian[3] electrical engineer and YouTube personality known for making educational comedy videos centered around electricity.[4][5][6][7]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Sadaghdar was born in Iran on 13 January 1977 and resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[2][3] He was conferred a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electronics/Telecommunications from the University of Tehran in 1999 and, after moving to Vancouver, a Master of Applied Science (Micro-Electronics) from Simon Fraser University in 2006.[8][9] He married his wife, Safiya Nafisi, on 16 September 1999. They have a daughter together, who is featured in some of his videos as a pianist or assistant, whom he refers to as ElectroCUTE.[10]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Sadaghdar uploaded his first video in April 2012.[11] His videos are mainly focused around comedic electronics tutorials and education.[12][13][14][15] He often intentionally creates situations where a shock, fire or explosion (often caused by overloading electrolytic capacitors) occurs for comedic effect, demonstrating the dangers of electricity when not properly handled.[16][17][18][19] His most viewed video, "How NOT to Make an Electric Guitar (The Hazards of Electricity)", has over 21 million views and demonstrates the hazards of mains electricity.[20][5]
