Your dry sense of humor is godly.

Rated for 1 amp, so I'll use 5.

I've heard many reports about batteries just firing up with no reason, causing massive disasters at home. It must be overloaded somehow, so the only guilt is to blame the transformer, I guess, or the cheap electronic circuits. Pay attention to what you buy, people.

I love how the little rectifier diode just sags, and Dan's response is just a disappointed little "Oh."

Dan, be aware that those power supplies all seem to have a glitch that can cause them to crash on rare occasions, but do it in style by putting out a random voltage. If whatever you're working on starts misbehaving check out the display and whip the leads out if it's showing a high voltage. (Then video it in its crashed state.) Maplin seem to be in denial about this problem and have removed product feedback mentioning it.

Bi color LED Bye!

“You’re not so precise now, are you?” That definitely earned my like 👍🏽

Oh God imagine that smell

3:26 - *Disintegrated Circuit.

4:06 when I try to play minecraft on my computer.

4:29 this is what anxiety looks like

2:52 nice model rocket engine!

‘Renowned as being extremely tolerant of overloads, it’s the tantalum capacitor!’ *BANG* This made me laugh too hard

1:32 smoke ring

4:06 my computer before opening minesweeper

1:33 That smoke ring is insanely cool. It gets launched off of the resistor then expands and flies back over the resistor it came from. That is absolutely nuts.

"rated for 1 amp, so I'm gonna be using 5 of those"

"Rectifier diode. Rated for 1 amp, so I'm going to be using 5 of those" For some reason this made me laugh :D

POV: You get this recommended to you 6 yrs later

"I've literally blown the arse out of it".. thanks for making me spit out my drink laughing

2:49 i lost it with the "oh." Lol

I guess you could say those resistors... couldn't *RESIST.*

4:07 on repeat. Oddly satisfying to watch :O

3:30 now that's how you overclock a processor

The noisy green LED was my favourite. BZZZBZBZBZBBBPPPTT.

5:17 when you hear yourself talking in a recording

Nice how that bulb at the end went from 'Cool white' to 'Warm white' as it was overvolted. The manufacturers could save so much money.

2:57 looks like a Grenade Exploding in a second

Love the way you go from blowing up components to scientific principles like thermionic emission.

Dude, that is hands down the coolest smoke ring I've ever seen. The way it was drawn back in by the suction cause by the heat was cool enough, but then it not only survived impacting the alligator clip, but also survived _and_ gained thermal energy from the heat column, which was converted into enough kinetic energy to expand it and give it escape velocity through the suction on the other side. That one little smoke ring displayed so much beautiful physics that I can't believe it only got a one frame mention.

This guy is a hero. He freed all the trapped electrons.

1:57 Popcorns During Heating In A Nutshell

4:50 - You could say the blue LED blue. Pun jokes are one of the best :))

4:28 well it did light up...

big components:*Explodes violently* small components:S H R I N C

finally, a channel that gets straight to the point

i dunno why i find watching this over and over again so satisfying. i must be a pyromaniac.

why did this channel stop posting video's?

4:34 "Bi-color LED *POP* Bye" Not sure why but I laughed at that one

2:06 My brain in English test.

This video's content: 50% Fire 20% Explosions 10% Component charred in half 10% Fire+component halved 10% Other

3:37 *When u play GTA V in your 3GB Laptop*

this video is the definition of "every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough"

i would love to see a entire circuit board go up like the electrics here

"I've literally blown the arse out of it" ~Dan 2016

"suspense leve..." HAHAHA...!! cryed!

Reminds me a lot of electronics class at school. As we only had one combined lab/classroom, in project lessons the teacher taught a GCSE (15-16 year olds for those outside the UK) class in the regular fashion, while an A-level class (17-18 year olds) could use the rest of the room as they wished to work on their major projects. Hence we took full advantage. Sabotage between each other was so common whenever you got your breadboards out at the start of a lesson the first thing you would do was reverse all your electrolytic caps and 555 timer chips, as it was virtually guaranteed someone would have turned them around. Another was to check for the infamous, as we called it, 'Del-Boy Diode' - a reversed diode placed between the power input and the main power rail of the breadboard, which didn't explode, smoke or in fact do anything - it just ensured not a single volt of power would reach the circuitry until you realized the diode had been maliciously planted and took it out. The other was to innocently get as close as you dare to the 15 year olds, and plug in a 'project', which was not a project at all, it was deliberately designed as either a bomb or a smoke machine. Smoke machine, usually a 555 chip and/or a few resistors wired up to gently smolder, was the preferred way as you could be long gone happily working away at the other side of the room before the kid started looking round to see who owned the burning board, and getting a lung full of grilled resistor as a memento. The 'bomb' was less subtle, almost always a 555 timer chip, designed for 5 volts but getting 24 volts - the wrong way. By the end of our 2 years most of us had figured out the best way to wire up a 555 chip to get the most 'bang' out of 24 volts (which was the max of our lab power supplies) As you can tell the versatile 555 IC got misused a LOT during our time there, and we were really surprised the teacher didnt ask questions about why our class were all eating through a ridiculous number of these chips.....

This is unique, you have my subs after so many yrs of this channel unnoticed by youtube

"Ah, I love the smell of burning componentry in the morning!"

2:54 a capacitor can be used as a smoke grenade. 6:03 a resistor as a stun grenade

A good video to know how electronic parts burn, to anticipate how they will be damaged, and to take care of who causes them to fire

4:06 During Nnn me on the first day

Great fun, you are awesome Dan. Very entertaining thanks for sharing.

6:08 MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES!!! lol

The green led shock circuited so amazingly.

I like the way you connect those IC's...

bi color LED. bye. get it? I laughed hard

7:03 see the voilet light thats a dangerous ultravoilet ray with shorter wavelength but thankfully absorbed by our atmosphere

I would have not guessed watching blowing up tiny electronic things would be so entertaining.... and the bad dry humor. thank you for that.

4:25 when my brother eats my cake

Thanks, your commentary is hilarious. Spot on

3:35 That looks like an interesting way to quickly decap ICs! No nitric acid needed!

this is the best video on youtube. nothing compares.

Gosh, they need you to play Mr Conductor on Thomas, you have a great voice for it. Fantastically nostalgic cadence.

2:02 Thats what she said to me as well

You should try overclocking an LDR the result is very epic

The green led shock circuited so amazingly

7:14 MY BRAIN DURING EXAM 😂😂

4:03 Bomb Power

love your microphone btw, feels really relaxing. (basically the only reason im watching xD)

This was awesome, man.

that smoke ring was cool

Dan: What should we do with spare electrical components? also Dan: how about torture

I very very want to do this,someone finally took the video,thank you!

ty youtube, another thing i didnt know i have to watch all day long

4:06 my brain when its science exam

I would love to take a deep breathe of all the chemicals released that day

how much i saw this video and still rewatching it

3:53 finally I know what to use in my DIY electric bullet

This is what my class did in the circuits portion of high school engineering. Twas quite fun till we had to contribute in purchasing all the caps, resistors, lightbulbs, and other electrical components we broke.

6:14 It's only half as awesome because you put two identical resistors in parallel

The 100ohm precision resistor sparking up actually sounded good

blowing stuff up never gets old ^^

4:07 when my playstation starts up

That "Review" button is obviously to make it more powerful for review purposes, just like those Android phones that overclocked the CPU when they were being benchmarked.

In the first 10 seconds, love your mic quality and subscribed to you !!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Having studied electronics at high school, I smelt this video.

lol paused at suspense level 100%

2:46 so cutee

you got a sub i was dying the whole time i love this man. please be my electrician comedian while work

I love your voice and this channel!

About 17 hours ago an electric pole exploded outside my house and another caught on fire a few days ago, I'm worried that KZfaq could be stalking me.

3:27 Me after tacoBell When i just just make it to the bathroom

The sound quality is awesome

Amazing lightning show must be there

one time I was playing around with some tantalum capacitors, and i accidentally connected it the wrong way to 9 volts, and the whole thing exploded with a huge bang shooting parts of itself across the room. I then decided to do it again but ramp up the power slowly. Eventually, pink smoke came out of the capacitor.

7:45 this was a 2kv transformer burning to hell and failing to smoke a simple lamp?!?!?!

this man's voice is really chill

Brilliant! Thanks for posting. I know what to do now if I don't have a lighter or matches.

5:38 he definitely cast a spell on me
