That's right diodes, you choose to be who you want to be. Don't let that label define you, you too can be an LED if you work hard enough.

Light Emitting Diodes... that were not supposed to.

As a Radio Communications Electronic Technician, I See Burnt Zener Diodes Popped Relay coil "Spike" Diodes, And Smoked Polarity Reversal Protection Diodes Regularly...Just The Other Day, I Placed A High Current Twin Transformer Unregulated Power Supply For An Amplifier Under Load And Witnessed BOTH KBPC 50 Amp Bridge Rectifiers BURST INTO FLAMES...I SMILED...Poor Engineering Equals Job Security For Me, Your Friendly CB SUPERTECH :-)

In the words of PhotonicInduction "I popped iiiiiiit!"

Poor little diodes had a break-down.

Great tutorial on turning bug standart diodes into light emitting diodes :D

Been wanting to make a descent Blender animation of overloaded components. This will make good reference.

Clarence Zener is up there pulling his hair out because of this video.

Now, THAT'S what I call a LIGHT EMITTING diode!

Isn't it molten glass instad of melted?

Did you try testing if the one that melted the lead still works or is it just shorted out ?

so this is what light emitting diode is

I like the smoke vids, but I would also like some conditions listed in the description; for example; 12VAC @ 1.5A.

how they fit this tiny diode into that glass ?

That was awesome!

I love your all videos, especially about buck, boost, test integrity signal, I like when you explain some physical phenomenon such as interference, can you do some other videos please about electronics

so im curius if i coold it down enugh cant i put 1000a tgrhu a 1a diode ?

Too funny. I love videos like this (for the same reasons why I used to make my own rocket fuels and pyrotechnics)!

And here we have our rectifier...whup, mevermind.

Nice video, well done, thank you for sharing it with us :)

What power supply are you using

Any diode can emit light at least once!

Silicon diodes and sense diodes used as LED light emitting diodes. Seems legit. They all turned into DED dark emitting diode…

I remember the first time I "popped" a resistor, scared the hell outta me

interesting.. it must have altered the silicon. normally the semiconductor would simple melt and pop, but the entire diode (also silicon) heated up and the lead melted instead.

any diode is light emitting if you try hard enough

Ah...memories. I've seen a lot of magic blue smoke in my time. I'm not saying whose fault it was...there is no blame here. (whistles)

R.I.P diodes :(

What kind of current was that? I can't imagine they're rated for more than a few amps, but I can't imagine you'd melt the glass on that schottky :P

I can smell them from here LOL

I did that more than a few times when I was a kid because I didn't know dick about electronics.

Is that the power supply fan we're hearing?

You can make mini soldering iron from shottky diode :)

I used to be able to short these out with 6 AA batteries, the Diodes would get so hot they would melt the solder on them

woooooooooooooooo

That's hot

Melted glass ≈ smält glass = melted ice cream (in Swedish)

Lol I read it Diode Smelting..

I alr did this too lol, ita funny

poor "little" power supply trying to give all these amps.. without burning itself..

You let all their smoke escape. Components are useless without their smoke.

aquacleanwater

I think my regulator is fucked

Very obvious poor current sharing between those two parallel diodes. The most important thing is they both made smoke though. ")

Try* putting them across 240v ac 😂 *don't try this at home kids
