We like high voltage experiments here at Hacked Gadgets. You may remember the cool Top 5 Old TV Hacks that we featured before.

The first 4 videos are were done by XTrBass, the 4th one looks like
Today our lives are busier than ever, it seems that automatic pet washers are becoming more popular. I bet most of the pets would not be very cooperative going into the machine the second time!
