Thats an awesome video Jeri. I have been meaning to learn more about electronics (including electrolytic capicators) and this has helped a great deal - well the first part of the video, the last part is just fun ;)

There's actually a very interesting issue right now called the capacitor plague. apparently, an attempt at industrial espionage went awry and resulted in bad electrolyte formulations. these bad capacitors are supposed to be floating around in very large quantities.

Jeri, what's up with aspect ratios in all your videos? They appear as if 4:3 was forced to be widescreen, it doesn't look right.

I have a mix of 4:3 cams and 16:9 HD. Then the aspect ratio gets messed up from George when he uses his laptop.

It's about the content not the production values. IMHO
