@themysterypie FUCK O_O. That is some scary shit man.

I read that in the 1930s some magazine actually calculated how large a 1 farad paper-foil capacitor would have to be & the results came out to be a stack about the size of the empire state building !

I have two huge ass 5 cm capacitors at home...
-
What's the failure mode of these solid polymer capacitors, which at least the computer industry has gotten a hard-on for lately?
-
I see the problem...you let the smoke out.

Enjoyed the video buddy. I have one question though; how much coffee do you drink in a day?

@grawey77 None. It's called enthusiasm.

Do this with a fully enclosed metal one without the blowoff cap. I've had one instantaneously go off, and it was scary! 36V to a 12V cap due to a miscalculation.

@ModernGeek That's a pretty big miscalculation! #shithappens

naw man you don't exaggerate, i've had a cap from a computer PSU almost take my damn eye out!!, the thing blew inside the unit whilst i was crouched behind it plugging the cables in the floor(cramped space)!, i saw a flash, loud bang and something hit the wood panel of the desk besides my head hard!. The entire casing blew off(small cap, must've been 10uFx25v can't remember) and crunched axially against the wood panel!, crazy!, the metal int he cap was quite sturdy due to the size so imagine!

@gglovato For sure, caps can be seriously dangerous.
