High voltage capacitor bank vs watermelon

[kdc43]

did it died?

[Kanoee64]

I'm with PETW People for the Ethical Treatment of Watermelons! And your Busted!

[Habbadax]

I don't think I really need a computer for entertainment anymore

All I need is fruit, and ways to explode the fruit

[notbroadcasting1]

on tellä kyllä hassut harrastukset!

[mima9699]

is the watermelon ok?

[SittingMooseShaman]

...'at's a lotta... ...'juice'... .

[nathanfryar]

Where did you get those capacitors?

[Paxmax]

wow 9270 joules... that like being hit by three bullets at once from medium/high powered hunting rifles. yikes! but... Why don't they use this in Texas when they exec... ooh.. yeah.. I forgot, the cleaning up would be messy.

[Kizmox]

@David20931

Maybe they were water melons?

[Rolls7Royce]

@David20931 lolz

[David20931]

@Rolls7Royce :D

[khoham]

oh god I love foreign vids.. okay, lets eat.

[bananapuddinlove]

awesome...now that's some shit that needs to be on youtube

[cyberdems]

Obliterated. xD =D

[gallantrycross]

If you're Finnish, do you know Kiira Korpi and can you get me a date with her?

[LaughterOnWater]

Chilling, yet oddly compelling. 

[LUVB6CPPgmodcsscoder]

only 21.5µF?

[jeffddow]

@LUVB6CPPgmodcsscoder at 30000v thats a lot of power

[LUVB6CPPgmodcsscoder]

@jeffddow oh right at 30kv

[timerider4]

And that's only 21 microfarad. Crazy.

[BvsMAcosh]

Imagine the smell!

[paulipoika]

Hmm ... DC electric fence ! No fail !!!!

[TvojaStara1]

nice now take Justin Biebers head !

[tjpld]

This is what would happen to your arm if you'd touch it.

[suwei779]

In china,you don't need to do this, just cut an highly-ripened watermelon and it may explode itself

[7digitalSunday]

those capacitors are freakin huge...

[7digitalSunday]

imagine what that do if you put one wire in yur mouth and one up yer.... well, i beter not say it. it would be nasty

[7digitalSunday]

where can i get a capacitor of that size? what size cap does a TV have?

[lyrison]

@7digitalSunday Nothing that big!

You could possibly get one from an electronics recycling center, or try ga-esi.com's capacitor index

Hope I helped!

[dethklok6511]

Now attach it to a big metal coil and put all your favorite electronics near it. >=)

[persevere67]

imaging what this would do to your testes

[BronzeProductions]

This should be used in our justice system. This could be the death penalty. One up the butt and they bite down on the other end.

[satelng]

@BronzeProductions I would hate for the next guy to get the wires mixed up as to what wire was in the but and in the mouth.

[vidzane]

High Voltage Gallagher!

[migkillertwo]

Someone call mythbusters

[sirMAXX77]

this is what happens when you give chuck norris a paring knife to carefully slice a piece of fruit

[joazde]

Only Chuck Norris is allowed to use Green/Yellow wire for power transmission.

[tails2fan]

@joazde OH HO HO! IS FUNNY BEACUSE GREEN IS FOR GROUND!

[Snower114]

AHAHAHAHAHA.... cool..

[luisjns4321]

0:53 - 0:55 Doom 3?

[lordtaw]

Nice slo-mo video at the end. I have exploded a few hot dogs, apples and even an orange but have yet to try a watermelon. My cap is a Maxwell 40kV 14.4uF, charged through a 12000 volt 60mA neon sign transformer. I used a Cockroft Walton multiplier to get the voltage to 33kV which is roughly 7840 joules. At close to 40kV I should get around 10000+ joules.

[lineage2pts]

xDDDDDD LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChuffChuffWoo]

Smootie maker!

[Mastermind8908]

Gallagher would be proud.

Its sorta like the big bang and watching the universe being born.

[PhuckHue2]

@FFS1NICO the chinese eat more watermelon than the rest of the world combined. they even eat the rinds. stop fucking your sister and go learn something you dumb inbred white trash

[Pelle4495]

poor, poor watermelon

[ConnorXV]

watch ' how to make a 400v charging circuit ' to learn how to make a circuit from scratch capable of charging photo flash capacitors, you need little electronics knowledge and you only need four components.

[immortalass]

This is an extremely Finnish thing to do.

[guitarherorawks20]

1:01 He looks like the new guy on Sons of Guns!

[DatafoxStudios]

Tyypillä on hauskaa :D

[pieznice29]

Amazing. What did you use for a switch?

[Homebuildairguns]

use that for traps

[TheRicheg]

ive heard stories... but now i know why not to p*** with capassitor banks

[HunterWarrior]

Very nice video complete with slomo! Well done! That must have been so fun = D

[sqhschief]

@jonashuelsman1  LOL :D

[cupfern]

Koittakaa jollain huonolla subbarilla kuinka "lähtee" :D

[ottanicubano88]

very very nice !!!! hahaha

[fio667]

i wish i lived in finland

[BravoCharlieTV]

Cheers :)

[oasr987]

wow it looks like the big bang in the high-speed camera haha

[catsandrats95]

It looked like the Death Star explosion!

[werewolflegend21]

i wonder if the samething would happen to someones head if they grabbed a wire with as much or more Electricity also theres a lot of dumbasses on break posting idiotic racsit shit in my opinion that needs to end.

[cheetawolf]

1:13 i wish the video was 3D

[brnchmgr38]

I removed thousands of those out of a 500kvdc yard. They pack a punch discharging on your hands, due to induction.

[tom77092]

What was the watermelon's crime? Why is it being executed in the electric chair?

[kaderoder]

Wow that was cool. :o)

Just imagine the size of the Cap used for the Big Bang.

[StopMotionMind]

So, I'm wondering: Is it better to have a high voltage, low capacitance bank, or a low voltage, higher capacitance of the same energy storage?

Does it affect the discharge at all?

[Ziiiv]

@StopMotionMind

The amount of time it takes the capacitor to fall to roughly 1/3rd of its initial value is proportional to the capacitance times the resistance of the circuit. So smaller capacitances mean faster charging and discharging, but also mean lower energy unless you also increase the voltage to compensate. So a high voltage, low capacitance bank would be ideal for quick discharging while a low voltage, high capacitance bank would be much slower.

[Ziiiv]

@Ziiiv

...1/3rd of its initial Voltage while discharging*...

[thesupergato2]

Can we used that with e sexual predators

[jonnyasprin]

heh,connect the capacitors to an electric fence to keep trespassers off your property.

[therealgreatqball]

Gallagher ain't got NOTHING on this!!!!

[kabimochi]

Please do it with your head next time. It'll be much funnier.

[h4nspeter]

1:12 - holy shit. :D

[qmcphysics]

Great stuff. How did you calculate the energy?

[h4nspeter]

@qmcphysics im sure, there is no calculation... its just MASSIVE voltage killing everything what gets in its way :D

[0Sebek0]

@qmcphysics E = (1/2)(C)(V^2) = 0.5X0.0000215X900000000 = 9675 joules

not 9270 J like it says in the description :p (horrendous amount of energy!!)

[lbochtler]

where did you get those beasts?

[sinkingrob11]

Crazy germans XD

[crapthisisalongusern]

build a rail gun with those things.

[rodstartube]

in a few minutes the yard will be full of ants

[EvilRabbiMAn]

that was sweet

[LordMizo123]

teillä oli sit jännää :D



[Arjoonmoal]

i like it but feel sorry for the watermelon

[Trusten1984]

I love watermelon

[kendigjl]

If that were someone's head they wouldn't feel a thing.

[NiMiJoKaONVaPaa]

komia on

[chinghatumadre0]

lol i made something alike, with my friends.. it was a clay pot and we put some fireworks in it + *barrenos* and some copper... results: light show!

[Nopiw]

quite nice

[supermandan85]

BOOM! Headshot!

[renekenshin6573]

damn what a waste i like watermelons xD

[nachitohhh11]

Get out of here its gonna blow! :P

[sullilex]

lol, instagib

[tjalolx]

Looks exactly like those we make in ABB

Slow motion is spectacular

[vangstaz]

Now that's a great way to cool off on a hot summer day.

[zker666]

That is actually 9675 Joules

[cristianremingtonjm]

that was soooooo coooooool

[pierrelebatteur]

What is your high-speed camera ?

[Kizmox]

@pierrelebatteur

Casio EX-F1 Pro

[a380rockerfan]

is that you wiring up the watermelon to the cap bank at the start? and what is your native tongue?

[Kizmox]

@a380rockerfan

It was me and i speak finnish as my native language

[KakHazhar]

wow you even recorded high fps.

great done guys!

[danavyor]

I always love the smell of vaporized melon in the morning :D

[CyanideWaffle]

that would make a great headshot in an action movie lol...!

[DRfronkensteen]

And who says rednecks are only in America?

[TheSamba37]

@DRfronkensteen i personally think it's just a nature instinct to see one thing turned into many thousands of smaller things =D

[Gintaras]

@DRfronkensteen Electrical Engineers > Rednecks

[rev91770]

Question: wouldn't it be 19,350 Joules? I would think the cap would have .645 coulombs of charge, which at 30kv would dissipate 19,350 joules. Or did I screw up somewhere? (Just starting to fiddle with electronics, so am curious). Also, what did you use to charge it?

[OregonDARRYL]

awesome slow-motion at the end

[lolo2n3055]

´Lo primero es que no le abeis quitao ni la etiqueta.................

Y lo segundo es que eso no es un WATERMELON, a eso se le llama SANDIA de to la via.

[ewmehmo]

HOLY JESUS! what capacitor was that?

[gyooooza]

何Vだよｗ

[ouprl]

how do you charge a capacitor once it is depleted?

Do you need an equally high voltage power supply as source?

How do you charge a microwave capacitor?

thx for help

[Puniksem]

30Kv Caps are something not to be messed with, they can offload a full charge in milliseconds, far more dangerous than domestic mains voltages. Watermelon blows like that because of the massive discharge potential that boils the fluid content instantaneously. Good demo.

[KiKoS657]

do it with someones head!

[PhotoTimeLapse]

Now thats how you cut a watermelon

[olangmyr]

HiQ AC Capacitors from ABB?

[Kizmox]

@olangmyr

AC capacitors (13.8kVAC) from Nokia

[chinghatumadre0]

@Kizmox nokia huh? u r the kind of people that wastes nothing

[olangmyr]

To the crazy people who want this caps:

We use this capacitors in substations. The capacitors in the movie looks like 22kV used in "capacitor-batteries".

If u want one, it is expensive, maybe you can buy something from your local electrical company, but you also need a transformer.

This is dangerous stuff...

[musicalmiller]

another watermelon put to good use

[MorganOthelloLafay]

Amazing Cool

Thank God for smart people with no common sense!

[SilkSwe]

Finnish madness. ^^

[kickercaster18]

If you mounted a railgun rig to that, you guys could launch crud all the way to China.

[iminyourbasement]

a superb idea indeed.

[darcyfoo]

where the hell did they get a capacitor bank that big?

[theONLYsebo]

probs made it

[JetMechMA]

Jesus Christ, the guy in the video grabbed both conductors at the same time. I thought we were going to see HIM blow up like a watermellon.

[Kizmox]

@JetMechMA

When i work with capacitor bank it is always discharged and shorted.

[JetMechMA]

@Kizmox

JM: I see. Great video. Thanks.

[mapleguy1029384756]

@JetMechMA The wire is insulated dumbass...

[JetMechMA]

@mapleguy1029384756

JM: Riiiiiight. "Here, grab these wires. They're insulated."

[mapleguy1029384756]

@JetMechMA I would grab them if they are insulated

[mapleguy1029384756]

@JetMechMA I would grab the wires if they were insulated

[GTARIST4EVA]

looks painful.....

[08Kutt]

Is possible load a ceramic capacitor (3kV) with a 6v battery??

[Kizmox]

@08Kutt

It is with electric fly swatter type of charging circuit.

[TenFoldDamage]

yes

[radumotisan]

@08Kutt yes, you only need to use an inverter, that takes 6v in and outputs 3kv. the input current (measured in ampers) is much higher then the output current, so the power stays the same, even if the voltage is increased. See some of my videos for high voltage sources.

[omairgeforce]

@08Kutt

no , i dont think so

6v and 3000v too much difference

[iluvme162]

I know I speak for everyone when I say this. JEESUS CHRIST!!!

Your blown into nothing

[TeslaCommander]

Awesome! one day i'll get capacitors like these:D

[bobdavis321]

I plan on doing this with a pumpkin tomorrow....

[OnnomonnomonnO]

spark is visible inside ...great show, guys..:D

[coeism]

great

[aschenputtel40]

A length unit, used almost everywhere in the world. Not in some backward countries, though ;-)

[ahugefaggot]

what the fuck is a meter

[Byza01]

I hope you're not serious. America is behind the times.

[joeyisreallycool]

Did the watermelon die?

[jared1155]

Where did you get the capacitors you are using?

[voon100]

Nice!

[blindskater00517]

finnish?

Utility caps

[Kallenator1988]

Hahahaha INSANE! :D

[TeslaNick2]

Those capacitors are awesome, they're HUGE, imagine using them in a tesla coil...!

[Raonisk]

cool!

Imagine what this would do with a human head!!!

[SaritaSarita]

poptubee pääsitte!! :D

[jmarkula]

Tää oli hyvä pätkä...

[Treknologist]

Energy = Charge * Voltage

Charge = 9270 J / 30kV = 0.3 Coulombs

0.3 C / 0.01 Seconds = 30 Amps ?

[joopvd]

30 Amps is correct but combined with the high voltage, the dissipated power is more descriptive i think.

9270J = 9270Ws.

If you discharge this in 0,01s it will generate a power of 927.000 Watt.
