Smoked components seems to be the theme for this week. And now, a moment of silence for the cooling fans, resistors, capacitors, and displays that all made the ultimate sacrifice in the interest of entertaining bored techies………..
Small components meet high voltages
Most engineers know what happens in the case of an overvoltage. For non-believers, here’s visual proof.
Variac versus cooling fans
When a variac meets a flock of muffin fans, which do you think will win?
Risque comments about ultracapacitors
Most questionable line from this video: Wow, that beaver really took a pounding.
Just a blown fuse
Yeah, but we’ll bet you’ve never blown a fuse quite like this one.
Really, really bad soldering
No sparks to watch on this one, but ……..
