Cable test ends in flames
This was a 5A current test on an excruciatingly thin copper coated steel cable supplied with a dangerous product purchased from eBay. The product was notable for putting out full mains voltage on a USB phone charging port, and using non rechargeable batteries with a very basic charging circuit that could make them explode.
Here's the video of the horrific product this was from:-

If you really must buy cheap products from eBay and other equally safety-complacent platforms, then I recommend at the very least disposing of the supplied cables in a safe manner, and replacing them with cables purchased from reputable suppliers that comply with local safety regulations.
On a typical power circuit this cable would have been a huge hazard due to its high resistance and ultra-thin wire. It could literally have set fire to furnishings in the event of a product fault, or even just using it with a higher power appliance. Sadly there are many equally bad cables with some using extra thick plastic to give the impression of having bigger conductors.
The fire extinguisher I used is a Firestop aerosol unit that is a convenient size for little bench incidents.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
