not if you are standing behind lexan.

me and my friend made a remote thing that connects the 2 leads so like we stand in my garage and then look out the window and pop.

also i dont think capacitors can blow up like that. usually they blow up from being way overcharged

like a servo arm that pushes the 23 leads together. sorr for the misunderstanding.

Ohh well i just didnt see why some body would take that much time and energy to do something so pointless, IDK, Is it just me?

Easy. Take a 100ft extention cord and run it far away. Stand inside. Plug it in.

Well, maybe. I guess if the OP was well-fed, he might have thought more clearly and not bought a cap in the first place

we were bored and my house and his house are like electronic graveyards so we had a bunch of capacitors

If you want some real advice...

Either:

1) Take it back if it's new and use the money on something better

2) Sell it to another noob
