Has anyone ever connected Resistors or Capacitors to high voltages in excess of
their rated voltages? I once connected a 1-ohm resistor rated at 1/2-watt to a
51-volt battery and it instantly bursted and shot out a piece of carbon from
inside. I've also connected one-way capacitors the wrong way or to AC power. I
like how they burst like firecrackers. Another time I short-circuited a
12-volt, 2000mA transformer and the box cracked because of the high heat.
Has anyone attempted these stupid stunts?
