if you have a bunch of very low voltage capacitors, say under 10V, you can blow them up easy!
All you do is take a high voltage supply, with a 5+ voltage higher than the capacitor. and put a switch on one side. Use a aligator clip and connect the switch side, and connect it to the reverse polarity of the capacitor (red to -, black wire to +)
Once you have that all set up, turn on your power supply, and flip the switch. wait a few seconds, and BOOM! you exploded a capacitor
it may smoke, melt, or do nothing. Make sure connections are correct and you are a safe distance away.
Large value capacitors in uf may take longer to explode
