Fun with ultracapacitors!!

Don't do anything I did in this video. These capacitors are not designed to be shorted and doing so is dangerous. And no, you cannot make a welder out of these. I got hold of some 2600F capacitors that can dump hundreds of amps. Normally these are used in electric cars to handle sudden stops and starts. Instead, I use them to vaporize bits of metal, and show you the 3 most important capacitor equations along the way.

Awesome video! Can you do a video on Super-capacitors VS Ultra-capacitors and what the differences are??

Thanks

Basically the same thing, different names. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is the specs in the datasheet.

"wow that beaver really took a pounding"

I'm in this weird part of youtube again, I kind of like it

Awesome Sauce. that looks like fun

[Joshua Walrath]

well, time for a vaporizing death robot

I held a soup can sized capacitor once. And THAT was only two farads :D

That thing is probably dangerous in regards of igniting something, but would you even feel the voltage if you put your fingers on both contacts? I mean it's only 2 or 3 volts.

Or can store 1 mother can of energy

subbed for the random sparks lol

[Chevaish Roop]

yes but the voltage of these caps are only 2.5 volts
