Old TV testing to the end.
A orange smoke flare was inserted in the TV. fuse bridged, to see what would happen.
It is surprising how fast a fire develops in a TV set.
A small smoke tornado was formed in the smoke plume.
A VHS tape was played on the VRC to avoid copyrights issues as I own the copyrights to the video shown.
Caution !! Electricity is used in this experiment. Always isolate the supply before touching any equipment under test.
My orange supply lead is controlled by a 32 Amp 3 pole contactor which was de-energised before extinguishing the actual TV fire.
( Later today Hobsonville, Auckland got hit by a real tornado which killed 3 people, my condoleances go out to their families )
