So, you want to make your parents proud; show them
|
|||
|
|
that you want to be an electrical engineer! Well, here are
|
|||
|
|
a few tricks that will thrill mom & dad!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CAPACITORS
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These little buggers can do more damage than most
|
|||
|
|
objects their size. Let's start with the basics.
|
|||
|
|
Electrolytics: These are the little capacitors (usually blue
|
|||
|
|
or black in color) with the + symbols going down the side. The
|
|||
|
|
ones you find inside transistor radios usually are quite harm-
|
|||
|
|
less. But, you can find caps of mammoth proportions inside
|
|||
|
|
computer power supplies or your brothers expensive stero amp.
|
|||
|
|
Ok, what do you do with it?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Electrolitics have one drawback; they don't like reverse
|
|||
|
|
polarity, and will breakdown when reverse biased. A small cap
|
|||
|
|
may just fizzle, smoke a little and die. But if you take a
|
|||
|
|
large cap, (100,000 uF and up) you can create a nice explosion.
|
|||
|
|
Don't do this at close range. Very large caps can be lethal
|
|||
|
|
when they go. Try connecting 120V across them and watch those
|
|||
|
|
suckers go. By the way, if you don't like somebody, charge them
|
|||
|
|
up PROPERLY and toss the charged cap at some unsuspecting
|
|||
|
|
person. They will get a shock they won't soon forget!
|
|||
|
|
Caps that you find inside large machines i.e. A/C units will
|
|||
|
|
also detonate, but they have to be short circuited. This is only
|
|||
|
|
for the very brave and very stupid!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THERMISTORS
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These are also found inside power supplies, and those transient
|
|||
|
|
voltage outlet strips you get at any computer store. Thermistiors
|
|||
|
|
when subjected to very large voltage spikes, tend to explode and
|
|||
|
|
shatter, so be sure you stay far away if you hook up a bunch in
|
|||
|
|
parallel.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many people have tried to build shock type wands with
|
|||
|
|
automobile coils..... while this does produce a high voltage,
|
|||
|
|
it's a cumbersome way to do it. A better idea would be to
|
|||
|
|
use the flyback transformer one finds in the back of any TV set.
|
|||
|
|
These are much easier to operate, consume less power, and give
|
|||
|
|
you more shock for your dollar.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's all for now...... stay tuned to future articles.

By the way, there are no plugs for boards at ther end of this
