Exploding Capacitors 

I can remember the smell just by watching it.

The magic smoke was released

If you put ac current across dc current capacitor and ac voltage is much(×4) higher than voltage on cap results are spectacular instantaneous.Especially with caps under 100uf. Just wear protective gloves,glasses and something solid like thick safety glass between you and experiment.And remote switch.Keep fire extinguisher in your hands.Warn people within earshot

Nice capacitor vents. That last one took a beating.

Looks like the same air quality as China, you should be good... lol

lmao be careful

Ugh...wouldn't want my nose to be in that room. The magic smoke inside capacitors STINKS.

Reely?? No, capacitory!

someone should share this with @Electroboom

:3

I love the one at 0:30 that was a sparkler! Who needs dragon's breath when you have capacitors and a power supply!

Imagine the smelle

WHY?? Just because you can do it doesn't make it a smart thing to do. Don't cry when you get cancer later on.
