00:51 wet fart

00:50 - Wow, it blew its guts out. xD

[clone4crwproductions]

what voltage/amperage did you use?

[ubuntututorials]

My electrolytics must be cheap, because mine exploded in seconds not minutes.

[Gage5137]

how did you make it explode?

[Kpilot786457]

@Gage5137 reversed polarity

[metabog]

"Are you exploding capacitors!? Are you using safety procedures!?"

Lmao.

[LuimmR15]

0:53 what stuff was that?

[tomfoolery57]

insulation i guess

[markuzh]

I tried that and the capacitor hit my head :D

[Xerxes371]

lol i love how mom says are you guys using safety gear and shit.

[edotguitar]

loool that big one ist something like these suprise cannons, realay missed the text "bang" on this thing that ploppt out :DD

[elNenio]

i dont know if u guys know that fumes on that thing is toxic! i tried this before for fun and it stinks! LOL

[cheetawolf]

the big one on the rite slowly got bigger throughout the vid till it blew

[grenouil1970]

???????

[Scitech101]

What about the other 2 :(

[DWOcc]

what voltage was this?

[tbone280]

how do u know if u hooked up backwards. i have a old capacitor and i dont know which termanal is which. one has like a little grid and the other termanal is just blank how do i find out with out blowin it up

[sovietspyguy]

Find out what kind of capacitor it is first. Not all capacitors are polarized, mostly just electrolytic ones. These are cylindrical and usually have a groove on one end. If you aren't sure, just don't use it; capacitors are cheap.

volt a meter will tell ya

[yuandrew]

Blew up a 100uf 16 volt electrolytic in electronics lab myself when no one else was looking. Quite a loud noise for something of that size.

Did anything happen to the last three ? I wonder what that tantalum one on the very left of the breadboard did.

[ingenher]

try put them right into the 230v. makes them blow sooo much the bigger! 4.7uF and 47uF makes the best explotions, just watch my 3 vids of it :P
