Blowing up stuff with capacitor bank!

Step 2 Hooking it up to an LED

NEVER HOOK UP AN LED TO ONE OF THESE THINGS OR A 9 VOLT BATTERY!!!

I first connected an LED to the cap bank in reverse, it got really hot and started to sizzle, and it stinks really really bad. Then I connected the LED in the correct polarity, and it blew up as soon as I connected the wire. The outer layer of LED blow up like a bomb, flying everywhere.Good thing I was waring my goggles, because 1 piece shot right at my eye.

Then I tried to hook up a LED to a fresh 9 volt battery, and it also exploded. Very cool.

Sorry no pictures.. The led exploded too quick for me to take a snap shot, I'll post an exploded led on here sometimes soon.

You can use this as an accumulator if you put a switching power supply. One hour for 100 mA 5V output for a variable 4 to 30 V input :) check out LT1270A

Smart that you were wearing your goggles for this.

Heh. I did that with a rubber fish/flashlight that I dissected. One piece went flaming across the room
