Blowing up Capacitors at 187,000FPS

Gav and Dan overload some capacitors and film the explosive results at 187,500fps. That's 7500 times slower than you can see with your own eyeballs.

Oh hey! Thanks for the shoutout guys!!! 😄 Although I would say I think it is more like the capacitors are out to get me! 😂
I am also highly AMPed about doing a collab, there are stuff I need to figure out in slowmo, like how fast you will jump at different voltages!

[SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

It baffles me every time how beautiful and fascinating the most obscure and tiny events can be in slow motion.

[Rawmon]

so glad Dan is back, the chemistry between you two makes it so much better :)

[Jezless]

The fact you focused so effortlessly on dust in the air and made it beautiful not even in slow mo at 2:02 is insane to me. So impressive

[bigclivedotcom]

Great video. I didn't realise it was so exciting in slow motion. I just get the adrenaline rush, the bang and the fog of electrolyte vapour.

"I've probably wasted 15 minutes of my life with these capacitors"

Me, an electrical engineer: I have spent hours on a single capacitor.

[cobuspotgieter]

Nebulas in capacitors, who knew. This is some incredible footage, thanks for sharing!

[meanderingmarley]

It's a good think I'm retired; otherwise, I'd never get anything done watching you guys. Fun stuff!

[AintYourChannel]

This is surely one of the most fascinating videos on your channel, those small capacitors really pack a punch! Slow mo captures the violence of it all perfectly. I'd LOVE to see you collab with ElectroBOOM!

[GenericaQwerty]

That macro was absolutely incredible. It really showed that so far you've only skimmed the surface of how many immensely cool things we're going to see with this new camera!

[PlasmaChannel]

Those plasma bursts are something else. I had no idea electrolytics could be this useful. And yes to Mehdi fellas.

[TheBrickGuy]

It's amazing how dense the universe is. Everything has so many things going on.

[UncleManuel]

"...and I'm Dan."
We still have to get used to that after months of Dan-deprivation. What a delight to see these two blokes again in the same room at the same time... 😎👍

[skrufff]

Love to see Dan finally getting to have some fun in Gav's mysterious black void of carnage! And yes please collab with Electroboom, that would be so much fun

[ojhat]

I had already forgotten Dan just came back recently. it's like He never really left, he's just, back, like it was always meant to be. the chemistry between you two is so perfect.

[crit]

These were super beautiful, my personal favorite was the Wide shot at 7:16 first the expansion, but just the magnificent blue and red fiery explosion was marvelous!

[dhopper]

6:57 this is genuinely one of the coolest shots you guys have produced on this channel. and your reactions are the icing on top.

[Darphi]

If you do them again, try some tantalum capacitors. They're made from a ceramic and blow up pretty violently if you reverse polarity or over volt them.

[UEGSamurai]

ElectroBOOM colab sounds fantastic! As many others have pointed out I'm glad Dan is back as well. Thanks for the content guys!

[Roaming]

The sequence starting at 7:20 is just amazing. Looks how I would imagine a micro universe to be; stars, planets, dust and plasma...
