| Moderator    |  I dont like axial Electrolyics... Does anybody love axial electrolyic capacitors? No. They arent vented and they are much larger and pretty useless in my case. I Never use them and they just take up space in my drawers. So I make them explode, by wiring them up backwards up to a 20VDC power supply  I explode caps between the voltages of 6.3V-20V and they all explode into a huge amount of smoke (electrolyic fluid) and a wierd string looking thingy too  |

| Experienced Member  | i don't like the axial caps either. they take up too much space on the board. i can say one good thing about them though, they don't have as much stress on the leads and the radials ( the larger ones). i always shoot some silcone sealent under the big radials to glue them to the board to releive the stress on the leads |

| Experienced Member | It appears that you really do like axial electrolytics... just not as capacitors.  |

| Experienced Member  | Ok, I got an idea for a electronic gun. (10v 1uf electrolytic cap) should fit nicely into a straw. Which will be used as a gun barrel then put in a air soft bb point in the direction of the intended target ? supply timing all the rest is a matter of choice. These are common most supply boards. Yes, no maybe so ?

| Experienced Member | Maybe the day that my boss hooked up an electrolytic backward and it sounded like a 22g going off. If I recall it blew the top of almost like a firecracker ? I really thought it would be able to blast an air soft bb.

| New Member | Krumlink: please wear a filter mask when blowing up unwanted caps. The fumes and particles emitted are said to cause fit's of madness. "Hopefully you are aware of this" Last edited by xl5 : 18th April 2008 at 03:49 AM. |

| Experienced Member   | I managed to go years without ever having done this. Only recently did I do it by installing a cap backward by mistake, sure suprised me when it popped (took a few moments).
