This device is probably not terribly compliant in most countries, but is classic Russia/Ukraine technology. Apparently it's not actually rated for 240V but 220 is close enough. It's also only rated for use in very short bursts (short duty cycle) and rapidly emits smoke if used excessively. The coil has a DC resistance of 100 ohms.
While I'm not actually going to suggest you buy one of these, here's the listing on eBay:-

Keep in mind that it's not kiddie compliant and may go up in smoke if played with excessively.
And here's the listing for the spirit hydrometer for testing your illicit spirit.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

It's both "appealingly simple" and appallingly dangerous! 🤐
Seeing a literal nail just crammed into this dangerous piece of electrical equipment is fucking terrifying ngl.
B is the Cyrillic letter vor V and W, so 220 B means 220 Volt(s). The British 240 V are way too much.
Just remember the hydrometer will only work in unsweetened spirits. Sugar content will effect the gravity of the liquid and give you a result that won't be useful to you. A spirit hydrometer is only calibrated to measuring how much alcohol is present in water.
The Cyrillic character B is actually a V in the Proper Roman alphabet.
Those walkers in Holland cost a fortune
my great grandfather used to make and sell these out of wood, i still have some working ones and i’ll try them sometime
That's the first gas stove igniter I've seen that has the potential to set one's whole house on fire. I'm torn. Part of me is glad I don't have one, the other wants to buy one immediately. De-bloody-lightful.
bigclive gets drunk
am also СПИРТОМЕР means spirits meter in Bulgarian, dunno if it's the same in russian (measures ABV % in degrees, for example 40 degrees is 40% abv)
most car horns use vibrating coils and contacts but they are only 12 volts although similarly they dont run for long periods without burning out
vibrating coil,not seen em since the old cattle prods
The price being in dollars is quite normal for Ukraine , cars are priced the same way and i have no idea why )))
спиртомер = Alcohol meter , very Russian or Ukrainian,
Must keep my eye open for one of those gas lighters tomorrow at the flea market here in Kharkiv , could be fun )))))
that 'device' is the epitome of 'made to a budget'
