Blowing up Capacitors and Recording the Results at 187,000FPS
As Tyler of Maker Updatepoints out, nearly anything looks beautiful getting atomized in super slow-motion, but it’s especially fun and informative for makers to see what capacitors look like when they are over-driven and go kablooey.
To this end, The Slow Mo Guys bring a world of hurt to different cap values and record the resulting fireworks at a whopping 187,000FPS. That’s 7500 times slower than what you can see with the naked eye.
