00:00:00.269 --> 00:00:03.679
In this video we're going to commit random acts of destruction and learn some
00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:06.060
Things about capacitors along the way.
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:09.910
Recently an "electronic gold miner" had a good price on some high-quality capacitors
00:00:09.910 --> 00:00:11.749
And I bought many of them.
00:00:11.749 --> 00:00:14.780
Quality capacitors are just like normal capacitors
00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:16.199
It can save much more energy.
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.550
Here is an example:
00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:21.369
This is a 560 microfarad 200 volt electrolytic capacitor.
00:00:22.329 --> 00:00:25.260
It is about as big as you will ever see on a consumer circuit board.
00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:28.480
The energy stored in the capacitor is given by this formula.
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.460
If I apply a formula to this capacitor I can see it can be stored
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:33.920
A maximum of 11.2 Joules.
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.570
In certain circumstances this is sufficient to do some serious damage.
00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:40.870
Now a high-quality capacitor is 2,600 Faradat (which is not a mistake)
00:00:40.870 --> 00:00:43.760
2,600 Faradat
00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:46.270
A maximum of 2.5 volts.
00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:49.430
This means that one of the highest quality capacitors can store 8100 joules
00:00:49.430 --> 00:00:52.940
Energy is a big difference.
00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:55.390
So let's see what a few kilojoules can do.
00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:58.550
Here I have a high-quality capacitor that can charge at 2.35V
00:00:58.550 --> 00:01:03.319
We already see this thing dangerous.
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:09.330
Let's start them by burning a welding cue.
00:01:09.330 --> 00:01:13.030
Now let's melt the medium.
00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:20.030
Here I am an understated cross over five cent coin.
00:01:22.220 --> 00:01:26.650
Wow, that beaver really took the bombardment.
00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:33.650
And I thought it was fun to make these chlorine effects light up like glow wires.
00:01:34.229 --> 00:01:40.530
Finally let's make some random sparks again just for fun.
00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:45.509
After all this, the capacitor is still charged at 1.7 volts.
00:01:45.509 --> 00:01:49.459
If you apply the stored energy capacitor equation before and after blowing things
00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:53.280
So you can see that I am used up 3370 joules of energy.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.110
So there is a lot behind.
00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:59.050
Now you may be wondering "How did you do all that with just 2 volts?"
00:01:59.050 --> 00:02:02.350
If you take two AA batteries and put them in a chain
00:02:02.350 --> 00:02:05.860
You can get 3 volts with 2.5 mAh of capacity
00:02:05.860 --> 00:02:09.559
That's 27,000 joules of stored energy.
00:02:09.559 --> 00:02:11.809
This is more effort and more capacity
00:02:11.809 --> 00:02:13.460
High quality capacitors
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:16.380
And yet there is no way you can do with all things as you just did
00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:19.009
With two AA batteries. So what is the difference?
00:02:19.009 --> 00:02:23.899
The answer is a non-idealized property called "series equation resistance"
00:02:23.899 --> 00:02:25.519
"ESR" for short.
00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:29.309
Batteries, capacitors and many other electronic components
00:02:29.309 --> 00:02:30.400
Small internal resistance
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.040
This limits the amount of current that can flow.
00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:36.919
For a typical AA alkaline battery equivalent to the resistance series is
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.519
120 milliohms.
00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:43.609
When placing the load on the battery this resistance will cause a drop in voltage
00:02:43.609 --> 00:02:45.839
And generating heat inside the battery.
00:02:45.839 --> 00:02:50.389
For example a low power device such as a TV remote control may draw
00:02:50.389 --> 00:02:51.469
20 mAh.
00:02:51.469 --> 00:02:55.369
This would result in a decrease of 2.4mV (which is none)
00:02:55.369 --> 00:03:00.119
Generate 48 microwatts and heat in the battery. (This is also small).
00:03:00.119 --> 00:03:03.680
But if you try to draw 10 amps of the battery, it will be there
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.120
Internal voltage drop of 1.2 volts.
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.579
12 watts of heat will be generated inside the battery.
00:03:09.579 --> 00:03:13.289
Even at higher battery currents unreliable voltage and things
00:03:13.289 --> 00:03:16.639
Hot enough to be very unsafe.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.469
Now let's see how high-quality capacitors will work.
00:03:19.469 --> 00:03:23.610
This capacitor has an incredibly low equivalent to a series resistance of 0.7 million.
00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:24.979
Even with a ten-amp load,
00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:28.909
The internal voltage drop is 7 millivolts and only 70 milliwatts of heat
00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:30.759
Are created.
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.219
That nothing.
00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:36.139
Up to 100 amps there are only 70 millivolts and 7 watts of
00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:38.079
Heat is generated.
00:03:38.079 --> 00:03:40.949
For a capacitor of this size this is no problem.
00:03:40.949 --> 00:03:43.989
So you can see that due to the very low ESR
00:03:43.989 --> 00:03:48.789
These high-quality capacitors can charge and discharge hundreds of amps without any problem.
00:03:48.789 --> 00:03:52.759
So anyway I would say that was pretty impressive for a 2 volt supply.
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.729
Now let's see what happens with the higher voltage.
00:03:55.729 --> 00:03:58.340
If only I would put 4 high-quality capacitors in a chain.
00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:00.879
The maximum voltage will be 10 volts.
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.930
With high voltage I can provide the most energy in a certain resistive load.
00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:07.679
More energy means bigger explosions!
00:04:07.679 --> 00:04:10.879
Here it looked connected to a high-quality capacitors group.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.039
But when I tried to charge it, I looked at the bottleneck.
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.280
My charger for power supplies is limited to 5 amps and these capacitors are large
00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:21.760
It will take a really long time to be shipped.
00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:23.119
Since I have some time to waste,
00:04:23.119 --> 00:04:27.159
Let's estimate how long it will take using this formula.
00:04:27.159 --> 00:04:31.349
5 amps divided by 650 Farads gives me the costly rate
00:04:31.349 --> 00:04:33.999
7.69 millivolts per second.
00:04:33.999 --> 00:04:38.210
Since I want to charge me a range of up to 10 volts ... 10V / 7.69mV / s
00:04:38.210 --> 00:04:43.759
Equals 21.7 minutes.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:50.240
Well we are now at 9.65 volts, and let the fun begin!
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:57.240
Oh this will be good ...
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:12.240
Now the effects of chlorine don't dissolve anymore as they just evaporate.
00:05:14.930 --> 00:05:18.040
And it turns out that the insulation on the magnet wire is flammable ...
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.839
I did not know that.
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.800
Let's try with 10 cents.
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.300
Wow
00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:34.849
(This ship appears to have sailed)
00:05:34.849 --> 00:05:41.849
Finally let's steam a nail.
00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:57.329
After all, the capacitors are still loaded at 9.33 volts.
00:05:57.329 --> 00:06:00.300
If you use the same energy storage formulas as before,
00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.799
You can see that I used about 2,000 joules of energy.
00:06:03.799 --> 00:06:06.749
In conclusion, high-quality capacitors are awesome and if you care about safety
00:06:06.749 --> 00:06:09.299
Do not do anything you did in this video !!!
