Hugh Capacitor willl blow
A hugh capacitor looks like a bomb. I thought it's WMD hehe.. can't believe folk install this hugh size of capacitor in car and they drive without worry. I feel it's going to explore someday. When you put in hugh amp in such big capacitor if a tiny thing goes wrong, watch out it might burn you car... |

Is this guy kidding? What is a capacitor going to exlore? And who is
Hugh? |

Sounds like this dude has a huge capacitor exploring his bung hole.
Definitely needs to amp it up though for more electroshock therapy. Obviously the uF amount is not enough to jolt the S*%T that fills his oral cavity. wrote in message oups.com...

If thing go wrong inside of capacitor, it might cut off the voltage or it might cuz harm to your battery or if thing get worst, these stored voltage will explore like the battery charge does sometimes.

Are there flames? Can it cause your car to catch fire? |

You are carrying a bomb in your car! Look, a capacitor is not going to explode (or explore). It may pop and ooze fluid, but realistically it should never explode. Even if it did explode it wouldn't kill you or even hurt you. They aren't packed with C4. I had a couple of cans of soda explode in my trunk one winter and I'm still alive to talk about it. Do us all a favor Chicken Little and stop posting such nonsense. The sky is not falling. What are you saying, you stupid idiot!!! You said that was soda can exploded not capacitor. If it was a big capacitor, you might not talk about this right now. |

Ummmm.......just remember to charge...discharge your capacitor with the correct resistor wire (only needs charge BEFORE initial install, discharge when removed).. most new caps are sold with these wires with l.e.d.s to inform you about charge, discharge status, you should have no problems.....get one with a led voltmeter (it looks cool) keep the wire from the cap to the amp relatively short 3 to 4 feet for better response ...dont worry...everything will be alright...double check connections. and if you have a question, dont hesitate to get a second opinion. Youd go to another doctor right!!???? so do yourself a favor and get informed......by the way.....caps are filled with acids like a battery. so, if a cross wire were to happen.....the acids will ooze out the unit.

Ummmm.......just remember to charge...discharge your capacitor with the
correct resistor wire (only needs charge BEFORE initial install, discharge when removed).. Discharging your cap when you no longer use it is a REALLY good idea as I failed to do this once and when I went to store it something metal touched both posts on top, and MAN, that will give you a big time education on how much current a cap can unload in an instant (a small part of the metal that touched the cap was VAPORIZED!). Of course, given enough time, a cap will discharge itself. But, as far as charging a cap, the resistor is needed only to prevent a large spark. I have charged caps without this resistor and I'm still standing, but it's not a bad idea; if you have the resistor, use it. MOSFET |

Sadly, I don't think he's joking. Google pulled up a couple thousand
posts from . On some of them, he uses his e-mail address as his name, and on others, he posts as "Red Cloud". He posts on dozens of different groups, and as far as I can tell, it's the same incoherent babbling on all of them. SG Oh, great! Now I feel guilty for making fun of him. Thanks! His posts are actually pretty funny and they give us something to talk about. If he just didn't give advice. That's when it becomes problematic. MOSFET |

"MOSFET" wrote in message ... I really don't believe in caps though.... Chad If I had stitches and burns, I suppose I wouldn't believe in caps either. MOSFET It was a tube amp that had a really high plate voltage, it is common to put 2 caps in series and use balancing resistors to gain double the voltage handling. One resistor failed and the other cap in series went down in resistance by a bunch. I had 650-700V on a 400V cap, it exploded before the venting had time to operate. Surprise! I've seen (had to clean up) some great cap explosions. I see all these banks of caps at shows straight up with unprotected terminals, I always wondered what it would look like if a handful of change were induced to the scenario Chad |

When I was in university my roomate and I would take capacitors and wire them up to the wall socket stick them outside and wait for a person to walk by and flip the switch. The small caps made a loud explosion and a spark. The larger caps would simply heat up and start smoking. I've never heard of a car audio cap exploding. What could possibly go wrong? Is the cap going to wire itself backwards? Most caps sold these days have a working voltage of 16-20 volts. Most cars don't put out that much voltage even with a defective regulator. |
