I did something similar last year, although the conditions were different in two way. Firstly, the explosiong was completely unexpected. Secondly, my face was right above the cap..
@erroria lol yeah. it happened to me with a 2200mF that had the wrong voltage printed. It's value was marked as 25V but it exploded at 18V just 3 inches away from my face.
cool we just did that in Physics!

I like to use a 200v inverter transformer and blow my caps up like that. super fun.

Did the same thing by accident with a 10 volt 47uF capacitor across just only a 12 volt battery.

what are you worried about? let them deal with the toxicity of it while we watch them blow stuff up.

You do realise the highly toxic electrolyte is not something to play with, don't you?
