Steven Mark incorrect use of clamp-on meter on 17 inch TPU

[ErichTesla]

In the UEC video (timestamps approx 12;12;00 thru 12;59;00) SM is using a clamp-on meter to measure current. He calls it a ?current gauge? and proceeds to call out current values as he moves it around the 17 inch TPU. Clamp-on meters of any kind do not work that way. One must encircle a current carrying wire with the jaws to get a reading with any legitimacy whatsoever. What SM did is so fundamentally incorrect, I have a problem explaining how he could have done such a thing. Anyone taking even a short glance at instruction included with such a meter would not do this.

Anyone care to explain what is going on here?

I can explain what is going on. How nice of you to ask.

Your very first post on this forum!! One day member!! Opening a new thread!!
And this is the best you can come up with??
Did you even bother to read anything concerning SM and the tpu?

You get only one chance to make a first impression.....pfffffffffffffff

Go back to zleep.

Thanks for not holding back, Spider.
Yes, I have read all the SM and TPU stuff for months now. Thanks for asking.
Best I can come up with? Humm...Time will tell. I wanted to start with something that I have not seen discussed.
What do you think my first impression of Spider is? Don't worry. I wont hold it against you. 

Could you answer my question, please?

Smoke and mirrors maybe

Well, as you must have read the tpu is full of magnetic fields. I suppose thats what he wanted to show. I suppose you know how a clamp-on meter works.

I wont hold it against you either, we have to play France in a couple of hours :D

The clamp is placed in the moving magnetic field and this creates a current in the claw.
The meter usually measures the field around a conductor but it does not have to be placed around a conductor.
It just has to be placed inside the field.
If you ever played with one of these you would know it makes a response to such a field.
