I knew someone who had a SCR like the one shown in this video, he had placed copper plates one on each side of the SCR for contacts. He had used a C clamp to secure the plates into position and couldnt figure out why the SCR stayed on all the time, he didnt even think of insulating the C clamp from the copper plates... when I saw what he did I couldnt help but laugh, he asked what was so funny and I pointed out his error... once we placed a ceramic tile between the C clamp and copper plate it worked as it was designed to do...
Ha. Yeah these kids of things look much different on a schematic than they do in the real world. My original layout had two Teflon pucks on either side of the SCR... they've since wandered off. -Derek
"just for fun... lets go over the physics"🤣. This is one of the reasons I really enjoy Derek's presentations. And isn't it crazy that Pi is in that constant (Ke)??? Plus a cameo appearance by the Romeo y Julietta box.... fine taste, indeed.
What would it do to organisms? Like, what if you put a block of ham between those clamps? Kinda like a ballistics test but for electricity instead of kinetic energy.
I tested it out on a hot dog afterwards. I'll just say that the hot dog disappeared from the bench, and painted the walls and ceiling. Very messy. -Derek

Great video. A lot to digest, I'll have to watch it a few more times to properly understand. Was surprised that the diode didn't explode. Thanks ☺

Ha. I find these things fun… I just assume everyone else does too. 😊
The most important detail is that reverse polarity goes in and lots of smoke comes out.
As does the electrolyte! th-cam.com/video/kibjmlmAv9U/w-d-xo.html

Charge is not stored on the plates but the E field of the dielectric.
Ok, you got me there. Between the plates. -Derek
2m13s - that graph is not exponential, as it’s 1/r^2, and it should not touch the x axis (until infinity). Otherwise loving this video! :-)

@@AmRadPodcast Imagine if a taser had this kind of juice. Kinda wanna shoot some hydrogen balloons with that.
@@AmRadPodcast Dude, you should have added that to the video LMAO!
You seem to be confused about the difference between logarithms and exponentials. Probably worth brushing up on.
Yes, as had already been pointed out in the comments below. Back to school. Thanks! -Derek
I think you just proved why diodes are used for protection, took a massive hit and still didn’t disintegrate
I can't believe it survived.. I should have written down the part number! -Derek
2:14 Slightly pedantic of me: the drop off is not "exponential" but polynomial (r^2).
My uncle Djamal has 500F capacitor
Very cool. Must be a supercapacitor. More power!!! -Derek
@@AmRadPodcast it’s a flux capacitor 😝
Dang, I could listen to you talk all day. Are you married? 😅
