1:03 Never put your hands on the terminals like that again. Like they always say to treat a gun as if it was loaded, you should always treat capacitors like those as if they were charged!
You are supposed to put 1Mohm bleeder resistors across 400V DC capacitors, so they slowly drain when power is disconnected. The rest of your setup is unsafe too, but leaving the capacitors with an unknown charge is asking for problems. Granted they are probably old enough to self discharge, but I doubt it's to 0V.
I recommend loosing the MOT and just build a full bridge rectifier and plug it into the wall. Less dangerous. Also, never touch the terminals of a capacitor with your hand, one day you might do that and one of the caps could still have charge after discharging and you will get a nasty jolt. Please read into more safety. Also do more research. My single 200v 470uf cap can produce the same effect if not very simular. Look for capacity not voltage and size.
I agree, this was pretty dangerous. I do not regret it though. Your capacitor only holds about 9 joules of energy vs mine holding 520 joules. The energy stored in a capacitor increases exponentially with voltage. E=.5*c*v^2. This is the reason I chose to go with a higher voltage. The explosion when this capacitor bank is shorted is far better in person.
Unlike the battery, a capacitor is a circuit component that temporarily stores electrical energy through distributing charged particles on (generally two) plates to create a potential difference. A capacitor can take a shorter time than a battery to charge up and it can release all the energy very quickly.
i have around 70 of these caps one of those caps cuts loose on that carpet and you better hope your parents have good home owners insurance and you will be living on the streets while your house is being rebuilt
"Safety third." On, Tanner! lol Well, at least you learned what not to do when doing it... I'd suggest a new order: 1) Safety first 2) Have fun 3) Make money lol Missing these posts, but glad you're doing well elsewhere. ;-)
Hey Bud, im new to your channel. I want to know if you can give me advice, maybe in a video but basically I want to make a rapid charge and discharge capacitor bank that operates of a cars 12v battery or alternator. I want to experiment with a hydrogen cell using pulse dc to create the electrosis at high voltage and my cell would behave much like a dump coil minus the explosion/shrapnel lol....the idea is to avoid using a electrolyte in the water. Thoughts?
Its nut just unsafe it’s dangerous to handle capacitors like that maybe he did discharge them before and knew forsure but atleast say that befor eyou slap boths hands across the terminals of a enormous capacitor bank
Eyy, just checked it out and subscribed. You have some awesome stuff!!! Where did you get a capacitor that big? Also, what schmatic did you use for your VTTC? I built one a while back with an equally big tube and only got 1 foot streamers out of it.
@@TannerTech oh you mean the gu39 coil I made it up as I went but I will do a video showing schematic etc when its finished mate... I think we can get a lot more yet.. I have 8 of those big caps🤣🤣.. Did u see my gu81 build 12 inch secondary three foot arcs.... Thanks for subbing Steve
A young " Photonicinduction " in the making love it keep it up,,,, by the way, has anybody heard owt about Andy (photonic) he put up a depressed video out about his life/ marriage then nothing?
I'm still learning what pieces of electronics and electrical systems do what but this video and its lack of safety concerns me greatly when i see exposed carpet with high voltage capacitors, no safety in sight, and probably not even a fire extinguisher within reach or knowledge; but hey what ever gives the loudest boom eh?
You don't know what you're talking about. Joule is a measure for energy, so you can convert it to power (watts) over period of time (seconds or hours), and you don't even mention time in your post. If you drain out the stored energy of 520J over an entire hour, it's only 0.1444 watts = 520 / 3600 sec (1 hour) If you dump it over 1 second it's 520 watts, so yes this would be 1.3 amps at 400 volts. BUT if you dump it over a fraction of a second, for example 1/100th of a sec, you can get 52000 watts, which will put through a human (10000 ohms) 2.2 amps at 22800 volts, i.e. can kill you.
@@JC-XL maybe I didn't mention time because it wasn't even a factor, maybe you should do your homework and learn I don't have to cover ever single possible basis in a simple comment, hell it could discharge over 15000 years, you want me to work that out too? Maybe you should keep your damn mouth shut
@@phonotical How is time not a factor? This very statement shows that you don't understand the basics. You don't understand that 520 Joules is an amount of energy and it can provide certain power (watts) over CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME! You can not convert Joules to Amps/Volts/Watts without considering a period of time! Let's be honest, you just plugged 520 Joules into a calculator and got 0.14444 Watt Hours back, but couldn't even quote that properly and said "0.14 amps" 😂 😂
@@phonotical I am not sure your 4 partial or incomplete sentences can be considered a "basic statement". But, alright, maybe "Jolues suck" is a basic statement. The only way I would agree with that is if you meant that you do not understand what "520 joules" means, because you obviously do not understand.

Bro.. Your intro is amazing! I remember coming across your channel years ago and that intro just really hits home!

He’s not doing some complex precision job the dude just made a capacitor bank
@@nathenstone4147 Yeah, these kids are doing just enough to kill themselves without having to eat Tide pods. No precision required.
Those caps seem to have small capacitance for the size of them 500uf I have some similar size 3300uf 450v are they electrolytic? or old type?
i love your videos nice to see other young people interested in electronics
Lmao Tanner makes a video specifically saying "This is unsafe." and most of the comments are about it being unsafe.
Im electrician, it hurts, just hurts. Nobody should do this this way, this was very dangerous im glad they are alive and fine.
Gotta be muuuuuch more careful dude. I know your a whiz, but whizz's also need to be careful, even a whiz 4 years later!! Take Care.

i have around 70 of these caps one of those caps cuts loose on that carpet and you better hope your parents have good home owners insurance and you will be living on the streets while your house is being rebuilt
Doing so on a caret floor, because that's safe right?
Yep, 100% sort-of safe
do more of this on carpet, it's really smart.
I found some huge 4.5lb nichicon gold tune 100000uf 100v caps local for 15$ each so i grabbed 8 of them to play with
if you miscompute the voltage. BOOM!!!
where did you get the capacitors?
@@resilientis actually no, those are AC capacitors and have no polarity
Bro knows we making rail guns with this any good way to hard connect these like a busbar can’t find any pre drilled ones
Where can we buy that capacitor?
500.20 ?
Or , five hundred twenty?
Also the fumes coming off that PVC stick are highly toxic. You should never burn PVC plastic especially indoors.
PVC fumes are the least of his worries
what type of power supply are you using?
He is using a variac of approximately 3 amps and a hv transformer from a microwace

Did the capacitor bank break your video camera? I'm seeing some odd pixelation on the bottom 1/5th of the UA-cam video.
