  • The smell of fireworks

  • lucky for you. Some people got permanently blind for thier life.

  • It felt like I was shot with a drop of liquid. I cleaned off the electrolyte immediately. Fortunately, there was no serious injury and no damage to the skin.

  • wow how did it feel?

  • I once built a simple power supply using three 1000uF electrolytic capacitors. When I turned it on, I noticed a bubble building up on one of the caps. It exploded and sent a drop of electrolyte towards my eyes. Fortunately, it did not blind me. I gave up on building power supplies since that time.

  • YEP i tryed to charge a 400v 3900 uf cap with 500v dc and BOOM my nabors called the polese becouse it sounded like a gunshot

  • i ususlay use a 12v car battery for things liek this that need high current...Nice PSU i like it.

  • electrolytic I bet... I sure dont want to mess any of those after seeing this!
