Diodes MELTING

I had some leftovers from the upcoming zener diode video. So I shoved 16V/12A through them.

That's right diodes, you choose to be who you want to be. Don't let that label define you, you too can be an LED if you work hard enough.

As a Radio Communications Electronic Technician, I See Burnt Zener Diodes Popped Relay coil "Spike" Diodes, And Smoked Polarity Reversal Protection Diodes Regularly...Just The Other Day, I Placed A High Current Twin Transformer Unregulated Power Supply For An Amplifier Under Load And Witnessed BOTH KBPC 50 Amp Bridge Rectifiers BURST INTO FLAMES...I SMILED...Poor Engineering Equals Job Security For Me, Your Friendly CB SUPERTECH :-)

Light Emitting Diodes... that were not supposed to.

In the words of PhotonicInduction "I popped

Great tutorial on turning bug standart diodes into light emitting diodes :D

Been wanting to make a descent Blender animation of overloaded components. This will make good reference.

Clarence Zener is up there pulling his hair out because of this video.

Isn't it molten glass instad of melted?

[flurng]

Now, THAT'S what I call a LIGHT EMITTING diode!

[poptartmcjelly]

Did you try testing if the one that melted the lead still works or is it just shorted out ?

[WhiskeyTangoHotel]

I like the smoke vids, but I would also like some conditions listed in the description; for example; 12VAC @ 1.5A.

so this is what light emitting diode is

[Rainbow_Sword]

Silicon diodes and sense diodes used as LED light emitting diodes. Seems legit. They all turned into DED dark emitting diode…

[Appalling]

Too funny.  I love videos like this (for the same reasons why I used to make my own rocket fuels and pyrotechnics)!

And here we have our rectifier...whup, mevermind.

Nice video, well done, thank you for sharing it with us :)

[freshstatcsnow]

any diode is light emitting if you try hard enough

[Skyfox]

I did that more than a few times when I was a kid because I didn't know dick about electronics.

[dickcheney]

Any diode can emit light at least once!

I love your all videos, especially about buck, boost, test integrity signal, I like when you explain some physical phenomenon such as interference, can you do some other videos please about electronics
