Hi Something strange happened on the way to becoming a youtuber I uploaded my 1000th video. Do you believe it on Earth? This is it, right? and now not my 1000th official video. Of course I'm up to like 850 something like that I don't know I think it all becomes a bit of a blur but anyway, um was 999. he is a shot of that and this will be my 1000th video.

So I thought I'd do something not really special I'll do something really special when I hit a thousand official videos. but I just thought we'd do something fun and if this looks and sounds different then I'm It's because I'm shooting this on my new Sony Rx100 mark for camera. This is not designed to be a main vlogging. camera is just a nice secondary little compact camera.

But the cool thing about this camera is that it does pretty decent high speed video. In fact, it's probably like the best you can get under like 5 or 10 grand or something like that. So little pocket cam of course it can't do Full HD at a thousand frames per second as all a lot of these videos can do. In fact, I've got the manual here it can only do 11:36 by 384, but that's still pretty good resolution.

It's got a great one inch sensor in it, so you know. Decent low-light performance which is what I am in here in the lab even with my studio. Well studio lights, you know I turn some extra lights on here. it's still you know compared to outdoors.

pretty low light so we'll see what it can do, but a thousand frames per second? it'll only record for two seconds and it can't record audio. but I can do a longer mode with four seconds and it'll do 800 by 270. But 2 seconds should be enough to have some fun with. But and by the way, it can also do 250 frames per second in basically full HD Art Not quite because the aspect ratio of the sensor is different as 1824 by a thousand and 26 at 250 frames per second in a really good quality from the stuff that I've seen on No.

YouTube people putting up bar test videos and things like that. So I haven't really used it yet. Look excellent high speed stuff or shoot some I just random stuff around the lab. Might even have to go outside the lab if I'm blowing some stuff up.

Don't set the fire alarm off here, so let's have some fun. Let's go. And here's a vacuum fluorescent display on a Keithley 2400 source meter and as you can see, you can see it actually multiplexing around like in a circle in different quadrants there. But this is shot at a thousand frames per second.

so even that you might think, well, it should, you know hundred frames per second? Two hundred might be enough, but no, in this case, we need a thousand frames per second to see this. I'll actually slow this down frame by frame and you can see how each individual segment because there's only a certain number of drive lines to drive a certain number of segments. How it multiplex is that. and if I shoot that same thing at 50 frames per second I Haven't moved with the camera, but you can see how it is now much wider screen before so the sensor obviously using a smaller area of the actual Watt sensor itself, you can see just some flickering on there.

You can't really see what it's actually doing how its scanning. and here we go. I Thought I'd Blow a fuse for you Nothing too spectacular. This is just a one amp fuse BAM There it goes.

Here it is again in slow motion of one amp across my 15 volt 40 amp capable supply. And here's another. This is a half amp one across Whoo! Hey look and you see how it actually freezes there like it actually are, Solidifies, it melts and then solidifies. This is a four amp fuse once again across 15 volts and you can see the smoke starting to escape presumably that's from like the solder and the flux left at the other end when they made it and this one's quite a bit more spectacular.

And out inside this one after you see it cool down, you can actually see like solder ran along the wire and everything else so that's pretty cool. And I thought I'd just shoot my Sony lens with the optical image stabilization, but it wasn't that exciting that just moves in slow motion. And of course we have to blow up the obligatory capacitor. Here's a 470 Mike 10 volt a backwards on my 15 volt 40 amp supply and there it goes.

Woohoo! can't be the laws of physics and here's another one. a thousand Mike 6.3 volt. Once again, it reversed on 15 volts. With the 40 amp capable supply, you'll notice the vent holes on the tops got the score marks so you'll see it.

Then very shortly. here we go. Starting to wobble a bit. that pressures really building up inside.

Wham There it goes. Look at that. There's so much energy release from that and all the electrolyte looks boiling, that yellowy kind of liquid. It's yeah, yuck, but it's absolutely boiled that and look at this.

you can see the individual little bits just spewing out of there at once Again, this is at a thousand frames per second, so that's that's pretty neat. Well, that's just boiling. but unfortunately I couldn't get any to like actually explode into smithereens and couldn't do it. No luck today.

Bloody! Murphy And in case you're wondering how far sub explosion is, here's one frame. There's the next frame. You can see it start expanding. This is a thousand frames per second.

and then BAM Look at that. Wow And here's an even much bigger one. 6,800 Mike Six point. Three volts.

You can see it fell over there. It was ready to explode. but unfortunately I'm I ran out of my four second time limit. We got one still venting, still venting.

Check it out. Well it was up to like 20 amps. Whoa. still going.

haha. Unbelievable down to one amp Wow Magic smoke. There it is. It's almost all gone.

winds picking up Wow How's it? Beauty didn't explode though, didn't like. you know, like vaporize and everything else. It just vented at the bottom because I don't think this one has a vent hole at the top. So yeah, getting down, getting down, and all I'm doing is puttin' now.

15 volts reverse on this. That was a six volt cap and like 2200 Michael or something like that. Yep, she's gone. So the safety vents on these caps really do do their job.

I mean look at this. BAM there it is. I mean massive amount of energy being released there. All the electrolyte inside is being converted to steam, pressure builds up and bam, but the capacitor didn't explode I couldn't get a single one to do it actually.

And here's what happens to a red: LED when you put 15 volts across it with and basically no current limiting and let's see that again in slow motion and you can see yeah, it actually lights up, parts of the bonding wire light up and then you'll see some smoke escape down the lead leg. There it goes. BAM and then the bonding wire that there's like flames right over the bonding wire cool and there's three millimeter red LED There it goes wham full brightness and I Shot this one in the lab actually with a lower ISO setting so it was reasonably dark. That's why you don't see as much video noise on there as you might have seen on previous ones in the lab.

But anyway, that's some basically a regular three millimeter red LED straight across a high current 15 high current capable 15 volt supply and this one's not done yet. It's still conducting and there we go. the magic smoke puffing out there. Puff The Magic Dragon and I tried some soldering and some other stuff, but it really didn't work out.

It wasn't any in any way impressive. That's partly to do with the macro lens I Haven't really sorted that out yet. It's not good enough I Can't get close enough in for like really detailed stuff. so maybe I can hook it up to my microscope or do some other stuff.

Or you can see the Heat are bubbling up the pin there all the way to the top. Look at that, that's served well. it's probably some of the flux doing that. but anyway, so that wasn't really successful.

So I'm going to try some other stuff, but this was just a very quick play around. I Ran out of time today, but that's I Hope you enjoyed that little snippet of some high speed stuff. If you did, please give it a big thumbs up. Catch you next time you.
