"Man who pays little money for extra capacitance will surely experience some impedance".

I'm a retired Motor Mechanic. (Among other skills). When I was in college, one of my lecturers (All Qualified Mechanics) told us a story that he swore was true about a new car customer who complained of a "clunk" in his brand new Holden Ute. At the time my lecturer was employed as a mechanic in a rural dealership in Queensland (Australia). After many months of trying to resolve this clunk, they decided to resort to Destructive Investigation of the chassis of the car... (Cut it open. Cannot be repaired after that happens) Inside they found a Vegemite bottle with a note inside that said. "Bet that had you fucked!" My lecturer said he believed it was a parting present from one of the Chassis Welders on his last day of work in the factory.

it would read: " I got ya BigClive"

"sorry, you lose money"

I personally prefer the MegaSultana...

Ouch

Brilliant!

I laughed.

@@shoveI this product was likely built to use a defective run of capacitors. but then again, the chinese capacitor conspiracy. look it up. its plagued the electronics industry for years now.

I'd buy that for a dollar!!

Probably the machine ran out of electrolyte and many of these dry caps have been produced unintentionally. So instead of dumping them, they decided to make some stupid people happy - who suddenly magically felt the engine of their crappy car becoming more powerful - and the concept worked. I doubt that any of these teenage hobby tuners ever noticed the scam, or even understood that it wouldn´t improve the performance even if the caps would be functional.

@@DieselRamcharger "the chinese capacitor conspiracy" The Koreans and Taiwanese did it first. Unfortunately fake electronics have been around forever, normally hidden under "warranty void if removed" stickers. :( PS Their website now has the cheek to have a "beware of fakes " notice " ! pivotjp.com/imitation/imitation_raizin-e.html PPS Is Raizin a nod to Ricer (A ricer car is a car which has unnecessary modifications to make it (mostly only)look faster) ?

I'm sure this is very close to the truth.

I could see that conversation happening in china.

A sucker capacitor

The 1st thing I thought was how’s this stupid thing going to do anything

That’s what she said

12:07 that’s exactly what we want

Ha Ha Ha, what a total piece of crap!

That's what I figured. Someone had a load of bad caps and dumped them, either on an unsuspecting victim (who used them anyway since their product was fraudulent) or to some tech "recycling" firm.

They were not accidentally made without electrolyte, because the volume of the separator sandwich is so low, it would have never filled out the can even if it wasn't completely dry. These are deliberately made as junk.

@@SianaGearz pull apart some one-hung-low brand electrolytics and that's what's inside. I've seen the process of making electrolytic capacitors and my guess is these didn't get filled and thus didn't get formed and no subsequent testing. I wondered if the two parts of the system were not connected, i.e. the paper rolling and canning was a separate company to the filling and forming. That would explain why there would be so many unmarked capacitors that don't have a fill... I think Clive should buy a range of capacitors and tear them apart, just see what's inside the can.

@@davidhunt240 The cheapest capacitors i have that are new are ChongX and ChengXing and i don't have to pull them apart because i am an airhead and sometimes put them in the wrong way, and sometimes it goes so well that rapid self-disassembly occurs. What they are definitely not is loosey goosey semi-empty, there's lots of material in there, the can exerts serious pressure on the foil-separator stack, and the foil is almost as big as the other layers for decent space utilisation. Now even if these fake semi-empty capacitors in this video had electrolyte impregnation, i can't even nearly imagine how it would fill out the entire can laterally, and i mean if you allow air gaps, you won't get much capacitance to speak of. The foil is also disproportionately small. When autopsying a mysteriously dead Sirtec power supply which is about 10 years old, i found a big Teapo 400V around 470uF nominally if memory serves primary buffer cap, it's domed, it reads 30%-ish lower in capacity, but the funny thing about it is that it rattles, the rattling piece is heavy, and the rattle is lateral, so even if i press the dome in all the way, the innards still rattle. I haven't torn it apart, haven't had the inclination to yet, but perhaps i will now. Upon googling, there has been a bunch of failures from the time, it's a possibility that Sirtec ran into a batch of fakes.

@@SianaGearz There should be some another explanation. Manufacturing this custom made junk will cost more than buying a low quality real and functioning capacitors, unless you're buying millions if them.

Still, I was wondering why he wasn't concerned about voltage potential before he knew they were just dry cans...

That is not Chinese.

The Chinese are trolling us at this point. I wanted a EL84 tube cap! I do work for companies, technical writing and we have to look over ad sales stuff, and naming stuff MegaRaisin, or the crazy names they use, and insane hyperbole - they have English speaking people now, they do it on purpose. Maybe ten or twenty years ago. I know guys looking for work over there, and they tell them they don't care that nothing makes sense to us, it's not supposed to. So funny.

It's from a Japanese company in case you couldn't tell. Could be a cheap Chinese knock-off tho

@@MikinessAnalog Its a a cheap Chinese knock-off of a Japanese company product

@SysPowerTools I think you are confused about the difference between solid conductive polymer capacitors and supercaps/ultracaps. The former are replacing electrolytics in applications such as switching regulators, were low esr and extended life at high temperatures are important. Supercaps can be used to start a car (though its a stupid idea as reserve capacity is negligible) but they use an electrolyte internally.

This is a counterfeit products, you can look up Google for genuine Vs fake difference. The video uploader should change it title as it making peoples think the original product was a scam, it should be title "Fake Mega Raizin...".

Eyyy! What’s up man! Love both yours guys videos!

In the case of Chrysler automobiles, adding these ground wires brings the vehicle up to a bare minimum acceptable standard

You hit nail nail right on the head with that statement.well done sir well done .big clive for president..really !!! Lol wooooooo

Not really any need, they're at 12 volts and in that littlw number, would have far less capacity than the standard car battery. You can terminals of a car battery and not feel a thing. Unless your hands are wet, then you might feel a tingle. Anything that works in the extra low voltage range(under 36 volts) that does not contain a high voltage circuit, is normally pretty safe to handle and work with.

I used to have a 2x 1farad caps in my car audio system, touching them by accident was not pleasant.

@@crazygeorgelincoln that's true, but even the claimed capacity of this thing was a thousandth of your caps.

@@Milamberinx thanks, I was wondering what the ratio was.

They're full of empty space. There could be a space charge.

Because it is the only thing that is real LOL

Why do the fake caps have anything in them at all? Wouldn't an empty can work the same but be cheaper to make?

@@NiHaoMike64 Manufacturing mistake sold as scrap, maybe?

Looks like they run out of Electrolyte while making knockoff Caps, and sold them regardless, since they won't work anyway. Like these sh*tty Powerbanks with the insane Capacities, which are filled with Sand, or the SSD's which is just an USB Stick in an SSD housing filled with Nuts and Bolts. If you are ripping off your Customers, at least rip them off properly, with the highest possible profit-margin.

@@NiHaoMike64 With no internals at all there would be nothing for the leads to attach to.

With one real cap the device is still a capacitor, without it then it's not. You can argue if a capacitor helps in a car across the battery but all electronic devices in a car has a capacitor across the power input so it can't be a bad thing.

Probably in the bottom.

Haha Haha 😂😂

You would probably have to break open a place which would normally be used totally leave excess pressure should it be subject to too much or stress or whatever.

They fill them with a needle, form them and then put the "brand" on them. Unfilled capacitors are really, really cheap, but generally useless to anyone but the companies who fill and form them. But with the right scam in mind, it's a money spinner...

@@davidhunt240 There are several videos showing various manufacturers making electrolytic capacitors on YT, and they show the rolled up electrodes being soaked in large vats of electrolyte before they are assembled in the can. Injecting it would be a manufacturing nightmare.

Looking at them they were probably made by somebody with the machinery to wind capacitors, and to seal the cases, and who bought them from some manufacturer who was upgrading, along with a large stock of foil and separator, and lots of the seals and leads. Then wound them using the least possible foil, and no electrolyte because that was not one of the machines he got. Probably making counterfeit parts, and getting sleeves for them printed with real logos, and no electrolyte so they do not blow on power up or have voltage ratings, as he is not worried about making the sleeve align, just fit and look similar to the real thing to slip into the supply of somebody, get the real stuff and sell for profit. Then he met this shady guy, and they made a deal for no name brand capacitors, and fictional values

They're probably just old or rejects from a real capacitor factory

If the one thing Clive should know it is big lugs. The big lug knows everything. 😉

Or maybe for flat earthers... One cable goes to the top, one to the bottom, and one to the side of the earth disc.

Probably to stop it blowing up...

Everything counts in large amounts...

Total speculation on my part, but maybe a capacitor manufacturer had a problem on their production line that produced a bunch of capacitors without electrolyte. Knowing there are companies like the one that made this device, the capacitor manufacturer sold their bad "capacitors" for less than the cost of producing fake capacitors.

I'm willing to bet, that there was a manufacturing error by the company that made the capacitors, and Raizin just either got them for free, or paid next to nothing for them. To make the capacitor that complete, without including the electrolyte, just wouldn't save much in production cost. That's the only way I could explain the complete electrodes and dielectric, without the electrolyte.

@@vincentrobinette1507 it's not that complete. The sammich inside has awfully little material. I bet this is made by some guy in random warehouse on junk discarded equipment which was no longer capable of producing reliable capacitors, with just random tinfoil and paper just to fool the machine into not erroring out.
