A pulse discharge with a peak current of 50,000 Ampere is send through a iPod Nano 2nd generation 4GB Pink model. This is a belonging of my back-then girlfriend, now spouse ♥. I did try to explode this on a earlier occasion in 2014. Video should be somewhere on the channel in pulse power playlist […]

This is a Merlin Gerin Masterpact M16N1 Circuit Breaker rated at 1600A/690VAC (Roughly 1.9MW 3-phase energy!) here is it tested against a C10A 1P+N MCB to withstand a 50kA short-circuit current from a 2500uF/2kV energy discharge capacitor! The capacitor used is a Maxwell Energy Discharge capacitor that you can read about here Some product series

In a celebration of reaching 10,000 subscribers on Youtube, I blew up some pieces of wire with my 2500uF / 2kV Maxwell energy discharge capacitor storing 4kJ of energy. I also started a new dedicated slow motion video channel, please subscribe if you like to see more non-electronics videos recorded at high speeds: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB2qu77PCr5i9zcs0sOhp4w/

Sorting boxes, sorting containers and generally just a good way to reuse old packaging materials for storage solutions. The black suitcase like boxes comes from a special calibrated sensor and the small drawers are from fuses for mains electrical panels. How many mystery boxes do you have in your work shop?
