How to Test Capacitors (Without a Capacitor Tester)

Thats how my dad always tested them. I still miss him to this day

Cable tie belt. This man is a professional

Sir, from the bottom of my soul, my heart felt thank you for your contribution to science!!

Bro didnt get nostalgia. His life flashed before his eyes

My high school electrical teacher left a charged capacitor on the desk one day with a note that said don't touch. Well, one of the kids learned what the floor felt like real fast😂

The editing on this is shockingly amazing 😂

OMG this triggered my PTSD. Had a buddy touch a capacitor in an HF transmitter that had an unknown secondary power source. There was a bright flash, loud bang, a second bang, a thud, then a groan. He tagged the system out correctly IAW the manual, but the second power source wasn't listed. He's lucky he was wearing his PPE. The discharge was so hot, it welded the copper bar of the grounding probe to the capacitor.

That was the loudest sound to ever come out of my phone. Legitimately sounded like my phone exploded.

We had a tech at woork who was a compulsive cleaner. You could come back from lunch and find all of the parts for the project you were working-on put away. We solved that problem by leaving charged hi-voltage caps lying around.

For anyone wondering capacitors hold charge, and it needs to be discharged before anything else

Love ur vids man makes me laugh everyday after work 😂

[eisenschmid]

Lmao, you got some Sand Lot vibes here. "you're killing me smalls" halarious!

[kevincerny]

I knew it was coming but I still jumped, i wasnt expecting it to be so loud😂

The zip tie shows he’s a man of culture and intelligence

[deadbolt]

I've never been shocked harder than I was with a capacitor when I was 13

[PenSlaps]

That zip tie is killing me Subbed immediately!!!

Dude that´s cool! If I were you I would choose a bigger one. Once I saw a bunch of industrial capacitors in an old quarry. They were bigger than my radio tuner. The room they were in must have been a portal to another dimension.

‘ Don’t stick your tongue on that capacitor’
