Styropyro has a very similar capacitor bank that he is using to power his ruby pulse laser. I would highly recommend his channel to anyone that likes chemistry, lasers, or electronics!
Hello I live in Canada my name is Ethan I'm 12 and a half I've been watching your videos for two weeks and you've inspired me to build giant Lego sets 😀
William Herron I was thinking, maybe it shorted out and became a huge single wire, and because the current was that high, the single wire was capable of generating a strong enough magnetic field to turn it
MasterPlay if that happened, it would probably be over quicker. my guess is that it was actually functioning somewhat as intended. don’t think it could take that much power for very long though lol
MasterPlay it most likely actually worked as intended as William Herron pointed out, the sparks in the beginning probably were the electricity arcing from the brushes onto the commutator.
It was before my time, but there was an accident with a motor rotor magnetizer. It used 2.5 large racks of capacitors (as in full height 19 inch equipment racks). The wire in the magnetizer windings was about a centimeter in diameter, and the dump was controlled by the other half rack, which used a thyratron tube based switching circuit. My understanding, is one of the magnetizing fixtures was not properly seated, and the smaller pins that configure the machine was not properly seated, causing it to dump too much energy for that particular fixture. It supposedly vaporized a portion of the fixture's winding, resulting in severe burns to the face and hands of the operator. The *orange* made me glad she hadn't _touched_ it!
They use a similar apparatus to magnetize speaker magnets as well. Similar to what's in the video, but it charges to 600 volts, similar capacitance. about 3 1/2 times the energy. The one I saw actually used a contactor similar to the one in this video. They kept blowing thyristors, and finally gave up, the contact worked quite well, considering the inductance of the coil gave the contactor time to make a good closure, before magnetic core saturation caused the current to spike.
Ursus Discursus ;) *funny story, I was babysitting teenager, there was a doorbell on the wall in the living room just sitting behind the door, how odd!!!??? Curiosity got the best of me, welp it doesn't do anything, how stupid! I thought a tv would come out of the wall or a bookcase would open up, got so excited, .... It was a silent alarm LOL
Great video! I feel like this is way too much power tho, the battery didn't even explode because the contacts fried instantly, i think if you nerfed this bad boy a bit you would obtain even cooler effects/explosions because the stuff you put in would have more time to heat up!
That one guy at 6:33 is like “Don’t look at me, I’m just the camera guy” haha. Almost no expression wish I had the cash to make one of these capacitor banks.
You guys should make another channel that goes over every project in extreme detail. Basically just record everything and explain what you’re doing. I want to be an engineer too and I find this stuff very interesting, but a lot of the times I have no idea about some of the technical stuff you’re talking about. And you’re awesome, keep up the great work!!!
Will it capacitor? Will it explode? I sense a sequel series to Will It Laser with random objects and the capacitor bank. That being said... Laptop, TV (plasma, lcd, led, tube), Avocado, Arc reactor model (replicate powering it up from the movies), the list goes on and on. Lol.
You should rearrange the capacitors after measuring the resistance of various objects so you can raise the voltage of the array to pump the maximum amount of energy possible through the system :D
I have a suggestion for a make it real video it be cool if you could try to Spiderman’s new suit in infinity war the little the leg things on his back like appendages I don’t know what they are
Lol I loves James new evil 😈 scientist look it fits him perfectly also it would be awesome to see you guys line up a bunch of watermelons and then explode them like a chain reaction with electricity and then watch it in slow motion
im pretty unhappy that i didnt get the chance to watch this vid when it was posted but im here now and i have to say, i love the things they do on this channel its always so fun to watch and learn from them.
One build that’ll be kinda interesting to see is the functioning deployable shield from Tom Clancy’s The Division. I’m talking about the one you carry with either a handgun or SMG.
In addition to thanking you for compiling various scientific topics and teaching them in the form of practical tests, please teach me how to connect high voltage AC transformers to DC supercapacitors. Thank you very much.
Would you be able to make a HUGE heater, and heat it up near instantly with that bank, have a bunch of fans near it (it would probably glow red) and see how much heat it actually puts out lol!
"Just a few years ago" my son and I made a cap out of a 35mm film tube and aluminum foil, PVC pipe and cotton for charging. It gave quite a jolt and he got an A.. :) It was a fun project. :) We tried to use a 25 disc CD container but it was too big for us to hold a charge using PVC.
I highly, highly doubt you are anywhere close to a MA from that bank- even 500kA would be absolutely shocking. First off, you are using electrolytics, and even if we assume a 20 milliohm ESR (optimistic), ignoring the ESL (which limits the rise time) and the resistance of your connections, you have a theoretical maximum of about 320kA for the bank of 16 caps. In the real world it will be far less. The high ESL of the caps (and the setup... long bars, wires, etc) means your rise time will be very slow. In addition to that... those caps will be destroyed in short order. Pulling kiloamps through those poor caps (which are not energy discharge caps) will literally tear them apart internally. In reality I expect you're well below 100kA, especially considering the very high resistance of your load in most of these cases. Even if your load is a ridiculously low 20 milliohm, even with perfect caps with an ESR of zero (impossible), at 400V you are limited to 20kA.
See if you can shrink a penny with this bank. Coil of copper wire around the penny. Check out another vid but it would be cool to try with this rig. You could also do smaller capacitors between the two leads. They make nice explosions when overloaded. AA battery. A Nokia phone.
16 6S lithium polymer batteries in a series=355 volts. Capacitor value for bank, 48000 uF. formula for stored energy in a capacitor: E=.5CV2. 355 X 355=126,025 X .024=3024.6 joules of energy. That will supply .84 watts continuously for 1 hour. you're releasing that in milliseconds. That's a lot of power! With voltage that low, the impedance or resistance of whatever the load is, has to be pretty low, to drain off the capacitors quickly enough to take advantage of the available fault current of those capacitors. That, as you know, is quite high. That's why fruit doesn't explode the way you would like. The resistance is just too high. If you can draw an arc inside of something, that's what creates the high power, to create the expansion you want. More common for blowing up watermelons is much lower capacitance, but much higher voltage, at similar energy. That will discharge its energy into the high impedance load much more quickly. The best use for that capacitor bank is crushing aluminum cans inside a coil. It also works great for regaussing Alnico speaker magnets.

The Cookie "remember kids, the difference between screwing around and making science is writing it down!"
How the crap that motor managed to continue running, maybe the current was so big that it basically ignored the dead shorted coil? Lol
MasterPlay or a high enough internal resistance and a high enough current rating
William Herron I was thinking, maybe it shorted out and became a huge single wire, and because the current was that high, the single wire was capable of generating a strong enough magnetic field to turn it
MasterPlay if that happened, it would probably be over quicker. my guess is that it was actually functioning somewhat as intended. don’t think it could take that much power for very long though lol

Is wanting to see everything exploded by electricity to broad an answer?
Electromagnet as a switch was a good idea, probably the only thing that can handle that current
He made an electromagnetic contactor, and you're right. There aren't many available that can withstand those current spikes.

HAHAHAHAHA! I LOVE THE EXPLODING ORANGE!! This video was way too awesome I had to share it with my electronic hobbyist buddy!
I wonder what Lichtenberg Fractals would look like using that bank. If it's possible.
400V is not enough for that unless you use salt water or something.
if this dude can produce a 40 megawatt pulse to vaporize things then he can damn well make some lichtenberg fractals
@@NoSubsWithContent 40 megawatt pulse is really easy just use a 800v flash cap and charge it then short it small and easy
That Orange...so, the lesson is: Don't get zapped by that, you will be hurt.
