I don't mind... Though I may have to charge you a small fee. 😉 j/k.

Anyone know where I could get a small amount of RELIABLE web space free?
 
hehehe..I once put a 30V capacitor across 30V. It popped within seconds. Tried it again with another 30V capacitor and it popped again. Did it 2 more times cause it was fun.
 


<< send it to me I'll take a pic of me sticking it on my tong to discharge it...ehehehehe... >>



No need, I think MMoose already did that. 😉

And how many farads is that? Farads are the measure of capicatance, not volts.

Thats NOTHING compared to my caps. One of my capacitor combo is 6mF, 300V and it stores 270joules. Short them out like that and you will instantly render the tip of the screw driver useless and it pops so loud it wouldn't hurt to wear a hearing protection.

 
ooo sparkly


more dangerous fun is cooking a hotdog using 120V AC. or a pickle (those things will glow in the dark)
