Blowing up Capacitors at 187,000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys
Oh hey! Thanks for the shoutout guys!!! 😄 Although I would say I think it is more like the capacitors are out to get me! 😂 I am also highly AMPed about doing a collab, there are stuff I need to figure out in slowmo, like how fast you will jump at different voltages!
Hi electroboom! I really enjoy your videos. I hope you see this comment :)
My life would be complete if you guys did a collab.
Do the collab!!
Hey, it's Mehndi!
I saw this video's thumb nail and thought this was an electroboom video at first.
Great video. I didn't realise it was so exciting in slow motion. I just get the adrenaline rush, the bang and the fog of electrolyte vapour.
You’re the first one I thought of with exploding capacitors Clive :-) many a capacitor has reached an untimely end at your hands.
I saw this and thought "Hey wait a second, are they copying Clive??"
I just saw your video the other day where you popped a cap, and the comments on that video echoed my sentiments that these guys would be a great next video on this, and lo and behold! I was so amped to see this video, and I see it sparked some joy with you too, and it's so good to see various content creators on this platform jumping gaps to explore some shockingly simple, but awesome topics, inspiring one another and whatnot.
@@jamesrush5367 i made a comment on clive vid that the slomo guys should get involved! and few days later wow!
@@jamesrush5367 Not copying. Just doing it properly.
It's amazing how dense the universe is. Everything has so many things going on.
That's how redditors describe a random frame of a marvel movie.
@@AimForMyHead81 accurate
Some of these shots were as beautiful as nebula or galaxies through a powerful telescope. It's just one frame from the mundane to the extraordinary.
@@aarondavis8943 Even just looking at the Moon from a standard tabletop telescope reveals a lot going on.
Some of these shots seem like microcosm of a big-bang type event... scale is different (in between is nova perhaps) but at least as visual metaphor for such a thing it seems so fitting. Love how events at different scales of time as well as spatial dimension seem to exhibit a fractal-like repetition of theme. Next one please get a larger capacitor with no safety and film in an infinite vacuum ;)
The fact you focused so effortlessly on dust in the air and made it beautiful not even in slow mo at 2:02 is insane to me. So impressive
Looks straight up surreal
PS3 main menu background vibes
@@LeonardPutra Damn, now I want a loop of that clip as my actual PS3 background lol
Zooming and focusing on dust? Some people are very easily impressed.
@@hughjanus6975maybe impressed by the camera sensor / tech?
It baffles me every time how beautiful and fascinating the most obscure and tiny events can be in slow motion.

The more you learn from looking at something the more reward juice your brain poops out so it makes sense that slow motion is something humans love because it sugar coats our everyday experiences with a sweet-blasted candy shell of delicious delicious information
@@ankitmitra2383 A bot link having malware? Who here is surprised... Still I get the sentiment but your better off just reporting the comment m8.
so glad Dan is back, the chemistry between you two makes it so much better :)
shouldve said electricity...
Its so nice to hear their genuine giggles and laughs in these videos again. The episodes Gav had to do solo during quarentine were all very fascinating and wonderful but the goofing off and little dorky jokes they make to each other just adds so much more joy.
Hehe... *chemistry*
Don't you mean that the chemistry between them is.....electric? ;)
I'm still so confused why he wasn't able to come to the US for such a long time, people flew in and out during almost the whole pandemic anyway and with him saying that he was going to the US for world should have made it even easier
The sequence starting at 7:20 is just amazing. Looks how I would imagine a micro universe to be; stars, planets, dust and plasma...
It's a good think I'm retired; otherwise, I'd never get anything done watching you guys. Fun stuff!
Nebulas in capacitors, who knew. This is some incredible footage, thanks for sharing!
looks like the playstation main menu screen
z-pinch theory people lol
This is surely one of the most fascinating videos on your channel, those small capacitors really pack a punch! Slow mo captures the violence of it all perfectly. I'd LOVE to see you collab with ElectroBOOM!
Mehdi electrocuting himself at 250,000 FPS
mehdi shocking himself is slo mo pls! :D
@@vividandlucid "Electrocuting" means dying to electricity, so I hope he doesn't do that
SlowMoBoom FTW! 😁
At 10:44 that “doowoit” sound made me laugh out loud. Super humorous :-)
These explosions are literally among the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! Mesmerizing
"...and I'm Dan." We still have to get used to that after months of Dan-deprivation. What a delight to see these two blokes again in the same room at the same time... 😎👍
You could say it was, Dan-privation...I'll see myself out.
"I've probably wasted 15 minutes of my life with these capacitors" Me, an electrical engineer: I have spent hours on a single capacitor.
thats why im studying mechanical. electricity makes me sad :(
@@JoshTheGingerProductions its also tends to be less angery
@@JoshTheGingerProductions same, mechanics is nice I hate electronics
@@JoshTheGingerProductions bro, you don't even know yet programming is more stressful than electrical
I'm not an electrical engineer, and I've also done that. Just less frequently I bet. Audio engineering even as an amateur sometimes hits you with a failed cap, no schematic, no label left on the device and no hope because the device was built by a company that went under before the internet existed. Which is also bad.
I have worked in IT since the 90s so it's awesome to finally see the slow mo of what I have done in my electronics lab. Thank you. Every good IT guy knows the smell that these make too.
These were super beautiful, my personal favorite was the Wide shot at 7:16 first the expansion, but just the magnificent blue and red fiery explosion was marvelous!
ElectroBOOM colab sounds fantastic! As many others have pointed out I'm glad Dan is back as well. Thanks for the content guys!
Eboom colab gets my vote too
@@petemoss9831 Me 3.

ElectroBOOM and The Slow Mo Guys collab would be two of my favourites combined for absolute epicness. 😁
I want to see electrocuted sausages in slow mo
Gav's slow mo and filmography + Medhi's whiteboard explanations and humour + Dan being Dan = guaranteed epicness 🤩
“Oh, you deal with ‘micro’ a lot, don’t you?” quote of the year
10:01 - Gav, that was the best unplanned pun ever.
Love to see Dan finally getting to have some fun in Gav's mysterious black void of carnage! And yes please collab with Electroboom, that would be so much fun
Those plasma bursts are something else. I had no idea electrolytics could be this useful. And yes to Mehdi fellas.
Looked like giant *Spirit Bombs* at some points too. lol
I would have NEVER guessed that watching the destruction of little capacitors would be SO AWESOME. WELL DONE!
This is by far some of the most beautiful slow motion footage I've seen! The electric sparks and the smoke is just awesome!
"You deal a lot in micro, don't you?" I'd forgotten how savage Dan can be.
I like how Gav just ignored it lol
I don't get it.
@@Gillsing He's referencing Gav's avid interest in buying and selling microwaves
@@R0HAI No I think it's a micropeen or LSD joke
Awesome footage! Now repeat with some decent sized capacitors!
I have some 2000uf 525v caps as tribute.
@Vlad TheInhaler 16v caps really don't like 200v AC.
And some tantalum caps. also, dan increased the voltage manually (in human time) what about having it wound right up and then direct on line?
@@maxfarr4142 That's what I did, the radio was live so I could filter the heater circuit, but I mis-counted the terminals on the tube socket, I had two long wires on the cap and I had one connected to one of the terminals I thought was ground, and was touching the other wire to another terminal I thought was connected to the heater. I was loudly wrong.
Use a hot glue gun to block off the vents
Every time I watch one of your vids I have the moment in slomo when I realize how great the sound design for those parts is. Thanks for that it really adds to the experience
9:20 the dubbing is hilarious
6:57 this is genuinely one of the coolest shots you guys have produced on this channel. and your reactions are the icing on top.
It is! The combination of macro with the insane framerate just brings into existence a new universe. Definitely one of the top, if not the top, shots on this channel. And that is saying something!
I'm so glad they've had a chance to get back together again Gav + Dan make such great content when they're together.
I also enjoyed 8:50
Weren't you worried about some of the red hot debris damaging the front of the lens? A slo-mo video with Mehdi would be very entertaining and interesting!
Most lenses for DSLRs have a removable lens shield (the one gav wipes) and it's strong and pretty cheap
This is probably the most beautiful footage I've seen from you guys personally, Id love to see more electrical events, Id also love to see things like arc/tig/mig welding up close
7:30 I DEFINETLY was not prepared for that! That was SO beautiful my eyes watered amazed with that view! Just too beautiful!!
Crossover with mehdi would be amazing! When you mentioned him at the start I thought he'd be super great to explain exactly what's happening as the capacitor explodes. He's an expert!
6:57 has got to be in the top 10 coolest things you’ve ever filmed. I love how you can see the macro lens in the reflection of the expanding plastic casing. Wicked :-)
There was also something poetic about the temperature rating exploding!
I would love to get some HD stills of this for walpapers lol
It looks like a nabula exploding but 1000000000x speed
In 8:56 it looks like a pulsar
I hadn't even noticed the reflection! That really is wild!
It makes me so happy how far you guys have come since I started watching you around 2014/2015 you guys are my favorite
all the while, the slowmo guys have a new side gig, making slow motion dust effects for editing filters (especially the first couple) awesome, I've always wondered how exactly these blow up. being a PC tech from years back I've been used to seeing the weak points at the tops of cap's, and knowing to "keep the Farad" away from them when they're on.
I had already forgotten Dan just came back recently. it's like He never really left, he's just, back, like it was always meant to be. the chemistry between you two is so perfect.
It just makes me so happy to see them together again. As you said, the chemistry is just perfect. The exact right amount of goofiness but also insight and just sheer awe in face of the wonders that they unmask for us to see.
That macro shot was one of the best shots I've seen on here. Honestly, would love to see you do more of this at the macro level, and super slow. There was some crazy stuff going on there
This is why I bought extension tubes for my camera so I can do some macro shots for cheap. It's absolutely crazy how much we can't see with our eyes due to how small it is.
RIGHT!! That's about to be my Windows wallpaper.
7:32 Gav and Dan just casually creating an entire universe in a split second
The best part is sparkling while burning 🔥 Superb!
The bulge on the smallest capacitor was amazing, as was the plume of plasma! No wonder the bigger ones come with the safety vent at the top, could you imagine the damage blowing a large capacitor in the old days would do? Early computer engineering must have been a hazardous occupation!
I hope ElectroBOOM will bring some of these
Well I do remember doing something similar back in school with a car battery charger and some big electrolytic capacitors. We didn't overcharge them, but merely reverse-polarised them, but the result was the same (except I didn't have a high speed camera and we contained the explosion by putting the capacitor it in a wooden box). I do remember though that it smelled horrible, and we only did one indoors before we moved outside, and I'm pretty sure those fumes are NOT healthy! I also remember how surprisingly much stuff there is inside one of those, after the boom it almost seemed impossible for all of it to have been inside the capacitor.
IKR
Yep, I've been around capacitors that have blown up since the early 80s, back when it was a lot more common to have zero safety measures like stamped cross marks on the lid of the can, thin spots in the rubber plug to vent pressure without launching/blowing up the can, and so forth. Always a shock to have one of those large ones really detonate, throwing shredded paper and bits of aluminum strips everywhere, not to mention the evil-smelling smoke.
they would charge up a capacitor and toss it to a fellow.
That macro was absolutely incredible. It really showed that so far you've only skimmed the surface of how many immensely cool things we're going to see with this new camera!
super fun guys. nice ideas you come up with. your stuff just showed up on my feed yesterday and I now have a new favourite thing to watch. I doubt that camera is on amazon for under 200 so I will just watch you play with yours.
Absolutely loved this one. The macro shot was like something out of science fiction.
If you do them again, try some tantalum capacitors. They're made from a ceramic and blow up pretty violently if you reverse polarity or over volt them.
Our teacher axidently putted 290V in a 5V bipolar capacitor 🤣 Snow in late spring... Inside... You now nothing John Capacitorsnow!
I was just about to suggest the same thing, tantalum is something special when they blow
@@TheSingularNextuz Your teacher has wild accidents 290 in a 5V cap omg 😂😂😂
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 He showed us some "learning" opportunities that year 🤣 It almost always contained some form of burning. Sometimes on purpose, but very often it just happened. 🤣
@@TheSingularNextuz Lmao 😂
"Alright I'm *Amping up* the Voltage." Something about that sentence tickled my funny bone. This was some *in-sane* footage guys, amazing! I can't wait for the collaboration with Mehdi!!!
Collab will be awesome, but his name is Mehdi and he hates it when people call him medhi wrongly ! LOL
Ohm my god, really with the puns? ;P
1:06 “Oh you deal a lot with micro don’t you?” Dang what a savage burn 😂.
9:05 you just recreated a nebula. Pause it and it looks incredible.
yo that was awesome! I'm flabbergasted by how many individual particles shoot out when a cap explodes - thankfully I think while I've burned some before, I've never truly exploded one while it was on a table in front of me... Also, I have been informed by MANY commenters that Gav has previously wondered about the "speed of push". While I don't think you'd be able to pick it up in a bar of metal (the framerate is high enough, but you'd only be looking for a displacement of a fraction of a pixel if you could see the entire bar in frame) I think it'd TOTALLY be possible with a long cylinder of a reasonably soft rubber (with a slower speed of sound, but more importantly for the camera, a larger yield strain. Wack one end with a hammer and HOPEFULLY you can watch the compression wave go all the way down! You need to hit it hard enough that you significantly (visibly) elastically displace one end of the bar before the other end starts to move. Thinking harder about this as I type, The hammerhead would probably need to be traveling an appreciable fraction of the speed of sound in the bar to make that happen... You guys know Destin - right? The shot you had in here of the shockwave going around the edge of the balloon was fantastic, but estimating your framerate from the speed of the flying capacitor you already gave, I think those ripples were more like gravity waves ON water, rather than sound waves THROUGH water. although here maybe balloon waves? membrane waves? bubble waves? dunno. Cool vid as usual!
I love how all of this is just off the top of your head like what even😱
SO stoked to see AlphaPhoenix in the comments! I don't know what you could collab on, but it would be amazing to see it happen!
Well the whole "speed of push" idea is really just a form of a shockwave. When you hit something the force travels through in a wave as the molecules compress, the speed at which the wave travels through the material is the speed of sound for that medium. If you slap a big yoga ball that's just filled with air it will travel at the speed of sound through the air (approx. 331 m/s), if you slap a water balloon (or blast it with a capacitor rocket) the wave will travel faster than through air as water is more dense but the wave itself travels through at the speed of sound through water (approx. 1,480 m/s), and if you were to smack a big steel rod the wave would travel way faster as the molecules are much more densely packed (approx. 3,150 m/s). So it just depends on the density of the material you choose Less dense medium will have a larger "visible" shockwave and will travel slower. More dense medium will have a smaller "visible" shockwave and will travel faster. If you hit the object harder, the initial compression will be greater as you, or whatever object you're using, are applying force on it, but the speed that the wave travels through the medium will not change. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm always happy to learn something new.
Hammer time!
But is it the force through the water, the air, or the rubber itself?
Explosions look waaay better in slow mo. Especially Arcs. This is visually my favorite slo mo video. Electro boom has to come, it's going to be BUZZING episode.
I think you mean ELECTRIFYING
I am stunned at how much it looks like space special effects… and amped for a cooperative video!!!
My dad majored Electronic engineering. When I was a kid he told me stories about the time when he overloaded a mF-scale capacitor just out of curiosity to see what happens. This was exactly how he said it had happened and I am so satisfied to see it in slomo.
The scale of the explosion is really put into perspective when you put the balloon in the picture both in terms of speed and the size. Would love to see your collab with Mehdi. Maybe you can get Linus along as well and try to blow up a PSU capacitor.
Yeah, that's an awesome idea!
Think Gamersnexus still has some gigabyte PSUs left?
@@GhostOfAnubis09 "Blowing up a Gigabyte PSU at 187,000 FPS, feat. Gamers Nexus"
I’m glad Gav and Dan are both in the videos now. It actually feels like a slo mo guys video. Gav did a good job keeping the channel running but something just didn’t feel right.
The back and forth is half the video, and it's impossible for Gav to replicate that alone.
the macro lens shots are always the best. please do more of them.
That was a really amazing exposion, thanks a lot!
I would like to see the capacitor + balloon again, but with a transparent balloon, so we can see the capacitor's path inside. That would be neat!
thinking this exact thing
Good idea!
Or the protected macro lens inside the balloon.
Yea I'd be curious! I would bet the shard goes only a few cm after it finally penetrates a few cm into the balloon. So a few + a few cm in! 😅
Yes, it would. They really should focus on this as a series, cuz it's such a visually interesting and beautiful event, you could really explore many different aspects of shooting it. Using multiple cameras for the same shot (one macro and one regular) would be really cool too. That's overhead, but probably worth it monetarily. That plasma stuff is incredibly beautiful. You could also make an NFT out of it and auction it off, but that might be going a bit overboard.
I still cannot get over how good it is to finally see Dan back!

Excellent re-enactment guys. It was like I was there for the real thing
10:29 this is the last thing you hear as the evil Witch shoves you into the oven
This demonstrates very well how bright plasma actually is, when it blows out the exposure time of 187kf/s.
Innit? I'm not quite surprised Gav had to UNDERexpose to get a good shot even at that miniscule aperture time. Plasma really is _that bright._
Brilliant experiment, the slo mo shots looked awesome. Great to hear Gav's cat making a sfx cameo too 👍
So much fun! When I was a Research Scientist at Bose back in the early 80s I would plug capacitors into an electrical outlet on the bench with the power switch off, and then flip the switch. It was great entertainment! Thanks for bringing back some fun memories!
My first job, (a while ago) was testing newly soldered circuit boards before assembly. All the components were back then hand placed before the boards were passed through the soldering machine. One re-occuring issue, was these large electrolyte capacitors being placed with the polarity flipped. The result, if I didn't catch this using my Mk1 Eyeball, was an ominous low humming, and if I didn't "connect the dots" quick enough, shutting off the power, a firecracker bang, a cloud of electrolyte staining everything that it could reach, and a smell which took a day or two to before realising that it had overstayed its welcome. It was ingrained in me, a certain respect for these things.
I was an electronics tech in the Navy. We used to joke that they made electrical components with smoke in them so you could see, and smell, when they went bad. When completing my paperwork, I would indicate the problem and the corrective action. "Capacitor C12 let the smoke out. Replaced capacitor"
@Jonathan Shumpert why replace them?? You just had to go to the engine room and get a bag of smoke! Hard to get it back in the capacitor though you need a small tube too
Jesus, my first job was in a movie theater🤣🤣🤣I was there for opening night of Titanic!
Hopefully it was some of the safer electrolytes, and not DMF or DMA based. Back in the day some unpleasant solvents were used in the electrolytes.
I'm really curious on what different types of welding would look like in macro slow mo. Especially AC Tig.
I read it as wedding for a seconds and i was like... Uhh, probably boring?
They would have the put a welding lens over the camera lens probably. The arc might over expose the camera and blot out anything worth seeing. I would love to see AC TIG arc though.
@@MurkyWaters677 Higher framerate, shorter exposure, higher aperture, doubt you actually need a filter

The collaboration I didn't know I needed until now.. Please do this!♡
Can’t wait to see electroboom response video showing you what a real capacitor explosion looks like
That might be what the collab is for :D
One of the best. Well done lads. 👏
I wish I could like this video 10 times. Great stuff guys!
This might be the most beautiful and mesmerizing high speed footage I've seen, from Slow Mo Guys or elsewhere. Thanks for sharing this. And, yes, OBVIOUSLY your fans will want a collab with ElectroBOOM!
You should definitely have him come down from Canada, it would be a blast! And seeing you two together again making videos makes my day! Thanks and keep it up 👍
When I scroll through your uploaded videos, I can see I’ve watched about 90 percent of them :) It’s been a fun decade!
When I was 16 a friend and I experimented with exploding capacitors as well. But instead of overloading them with voltage, we used a soldering iron touching the capacitor until the heat caused them to explode. Although we were using much bigger capacitors. Some up to 200+ volt sizes. It was fun to watch. The smell was horrible and the smoke hurt our eyes. We filmed some of it with an old vhs camera. One of the coolest thing we did tho was making small fires in ashtrays and placing the capacitors into the fire. I thought the gasses would be flammable but instead the explosion just extinguished the flames. We then moved on to sticking the capacitor into little bowls filled with flour, sand, aquarium gravel etc. It was a lot of fun seeing how the explosions effected the material. Lots of fun. But seeing your footage in super slow motion is amazing and triggered a bit of nostalgia for me. Great job guys.
There's no doubt that with some simple trickery at hiding the wires, one could produce some awesome sci-fi effects. I could watch this kind of stuff for hours.
I was thinking the same thing. All I saw was possibilities for movies - and possibly some ways movies I've seen did certain shots.
Looks like the Death Star exploding
Glad to see you both together again. Looking forward to seeing a collaboration with electro-boom.
no photonicinduction the top youtube madman
I LOVE that you compared these exploding to a plasma explosion because capacitor explosions are sometimes used to gather practical elements for such FX in movies and TV shows
One of the best episodes yet
9:20 - 9:37 I loved this 😂 I’ve missed having both Gav and Dan!
3:26 The frame rate matching the fan speed made that look like you just waved a switched off fan in the air in the hope it would magic the particles and dust away. :)
pretty much every slow Mo guys video I find myself saying "wow! that's fascinating!" And this one was no exception. WOW! That was fascinating!
The exploding material in caps, the plasma , all looks so beautiful. this footage can be used in movies
When you zoomed into the cloud (2:01), it gave the best effect. It looked like the camera did a warp-speed jump into the cloud. I've never seen anything like that before. So cool!
Dang, that DOES look cool
It lowkey looks like a playstation wallpaper
That 6:57 slowmo is absolutely amazing and baffling, one of the greatest shots on the channel
ONE OF THE COOLEST YET! HOLY MOLY!
Most beautiful explosions! 😍
When I was in electrical school we were working with breadboards one day and one of the students accidentally connected 240 volts to his breadboard instead of 24. I was on the other side of the classroom and it lit up the room brighter than a photography flash. I don't think there was a capacitor involved, but there was a diode that completely vaporized.
I strongly believe being able to slow time down (by viewing in ultra slow motion) is as important as The invention of the microscope was to medicine. Things we never would be able to witness otherwise/thought happened at a single point in time, i think cameras in general are like this - the ability to record something in absolute detail over time is an incredible feat, then to take 180000 pictures a second and put it into a format that the brain can understand is pretty freaking amazing. Thank you guys for showing us the magiiic!
I want what you're smoking mate
This is one of the most suprirising slomo videos you have shown! The way the smaller capacitors get launched, combined with the explosions afterward, propel this video (to me at least) to the level of scientific discoveries.
One of the coolest things I've seen BUT! I can't ignore the synchronized "DoOOiiiT" at 10:44 LOVE IT!
These shots genuinely look like they are taken in space, Dan was spot on.
So glad Dan is back ! A collab with ELecTROBOOM would be great 👍
I've watched a lot of your videos, but this one is the most fascinating! I agree it looked like space. Some of the debris looked exactly like it was shooting through either space or some fluid! The next to last was crazy. You see the covering expanding from bottom to top ,then separating with insides going ahead and cover behind. Most amazing was how it looked like monster size explosions, but were Lilliputting in real life. Pardon my spelling. Not many opportunities to spell Lillut ,the small people's country.
glad to see the duo back! plasma's might look good in slowmo with electro boom :P
Gav, I'm so glad to see you filming with your good friend Dan. You did a great job filming alone, but *you* seem so much happier filming as a team with your mate.
