Exploding capacitor

[pb19111]

cool we just did that in Physics!

[DerCheckah]

thts nothing i let once an 4000uF cap explode that was like a bomb.. thank god it was under a hood :D

[zker666]

lol same thing happened to me and it scared the crap outta me and i think i felt a trinkle down my leg! lol at only a 14v ryobi drill battery!

[MattExzy]

Nuts, it so looked like it was going to take off like a rocket!

[erroria]

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..

[chamath1985]

@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.

put it in your butt

[omglolfart]

thats a thumbs up from me

[videohog22]

I did the same thing but with 120. it scared the crap out of me becuase my face was right beside... safety goggles always

[markiex]

I want to see someone hold it between their teeth and then turn the power on....

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

[yuandrew]

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

lol what fell down?

[choda42]

This just happened to a capacitor on the motherboard of my other computer.

[lolergramCCCP]

I love blowing things up

[chillmiester]

lol strachan did you make this??

[hawk2112]

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

[eberhardfaber]

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

[EatOoze]

It smells bad, too.

[xXxmidgexXx]

it expaned to death

[teekeegod]

I like how it starts to grow
