Over here in the UK it's quite common to see the glass fuses explode (as in bits of powdered glass all over the inside of the equipment). If you happen to be near the substation in an urban area, with multiple 750-1000kva transformers, the short circuit capacity can be in the range of tens of thousands to even a hundred thousand amps. Stuff just tends to cease to exist rather than melt LOL Awesome to see this in slow motion though :)
GREAT VID: Dang the dead short just destroys the fuse haha awesome video bro! I just replaced a fuse in my fusebox on my car and I was wondering how a fuse actually breaks. When I looked this up I wasn't sure I'd find anything but you're the man!
NICE! I love watching fuses blow. I have this old heathkit 2718 power supply that blew its fuse the other night. When I replaced it it blew again except with the whole thing making noises. I have been too lazy to really check it out but any guesses on what it may be?
Interesting video. I have been trying to find out what the specs are on a VCR power supply glass fuse that has blown. The markings have on one end 1.6A 125V and on the other end it has 51S. I am wondering if it is a fast blow or slow blow fuse. the broken filament has 2 beads in the middle. Any idea?
Can we get this like suuuuuuuuupppppeeerrrrrrrrr slow mooooo just watch it like milliseconds of milliseconds!!!! Y'all gotta agree on this one with me right !?
great video. i needed to see what a blown looks like bc i am having ryobi charger problems. There are no lights coming on when I put a battery in it for charging. If it not the fuse, where else should I look on the 14.4v charger?
Nick Moore I wonder if it's a nucleation problem in that the metal is hot enough to fail but doesn't have a good place to start. The wound fuses being in contact with that thread probably have more nucleation points vs. the floating blob bridges (and therefore fail more quickly?) There was some interesting wobbling in the .75A load as well. As usual, high speed video creating interesting new perspectives on the traditionally mundane.
This was mad relaxing actually thanks bruh
Blow some big fuses like the ones used for car amp power cables. And definitely keep the chill music during the slow mo! Great video!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thankyou for this helpful video, brought piece of mind to my worried gf she thought the house would explode from LED lights

That would make a cool slo-mo but the lines around here are so long that inductance limits explosions to a "safe" current.
Nick Moore Sadly I don't have a slowmo camera, but I hope someone picks up on this :)
Maybe a destruct-o-tron capacitor bank would do...
Thanks! Showing this to my physics class tomorrow!
Real nerdy stuff. I love it. Good video.
Nerd stuff is the best stuff. Thanks!

Great video Nick. You really deserve more subscribers.
Thanks, pass it on to friends who might like it
Thank you.
Sheesh, that's violent.
Part of the violence is by design, if the fuse blew too slowly it could draw an arc at high-ish voltages and keep conducting. I should test that...
Thanks Nick, great vid.

TUBORG !!! .. also, cool idea .. more plz
I'm trying to get at least one a month out, when I have the time I'll be releasing more.
Excelente Video!!!

Great!
Might be interesting to see the slow blow fuses break when theres a huge inductor connected in the circuit
I was planing on revisiting this, I will try an inductive load next time.
VERY COOL THANKS FOR THE LESSON
Can we get this like suuuuuuuuupppppeeerrrrrrrrr slow mooooo just watch it like milliseconds of milliseconds!!!! Y'all gotta agree on this one with me right !?
I have a much faster camera now so yes, I can do this one again but WAY slower
Nick Moore doooo itttt
That would be sweet!

this is neat!
Hi Nick wen i repless my monitor smps glass fuse it's burn everytime please solutions what's problem
One of the fuse on my car (100A) is not break but it is like cracking. Why is that happened?
Need the music...it's dope.
You should blow a high voltage fuse from a microwave :D
wow
Nice
what's the name of the music, man?
Could we know how much time it takes to blow?
Cool idea! That .75A hung in there on the 8A load...
Yeah, I was really surprised how long they all lasted with the 8amp load.
