Was anyone else just waiting for her to brush up against the wrong capacitor and go flying across the room? I cringed when she started pointing at the caps…. “it’s just elike eh city, this could be an eleva…” *KRZZAP*

Hah, she sounds like my mom when she describes it as a “little city”. Very funny.

LOL, what a buncha wimps, the caps hold some charge, but not enough to kill. Do TV’s come with warnings of lethal voltage? No they warn of “risk of shock”! Don’t you think the back of the TV would be covered in yellow and black LETHAL VOLTAGE STAY OUT OR YOU WILL DIE messages if that was the case?

I’ve poked around in tons of tvs, even gotten tickled up the arm by an anode that was on, and lots of tingles from touching the 110 v AC line accidentally. Wouldn’t want to touch a 200V main filter cap though. Keep one hand behind your back or in a pocket, that way you won’t hurt when you do something stupid. Two hands in is might not be wise if you have a heart condition! Discharge the big caps by putting a 1000 ohm 1/2 watt resistor across them unless you like sparks in which case use a screwdriver.

If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try to find cases of electrocution by TV. I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find any cases. Go ahead, poke around in your TV and have fun but keep your eyes open.

If you really like sparks, my friend and I had a TV and two butter knives and hooked them up to an AC cord, one wire on each knife secured and wrapped with black electrical tape as insulation. Then we plugged the knives in, and did some “surgery” on the TV. The deflection coil sparked beautifully! The electricity bill came to $650 that month, time to move anyway.

BEWARE of capacitors when pulling apart your old TV. There’s a capacitor (or more) in there that can throw you across the room if you touch anything it’s connected to. Here’s an example of a smaller capacitor found in a camera. When I was young, I was taking apart a camera with built-in flash. I grabbed it with my hand on the circuit board and my hand immediately clenched up, squeezing the camera until the capacitor completely discharged. I even shook my hand as an immediate reaction but the capacitor had my hand clinging so tight that it wouldn’t let go. I could feel the charge running through my body. It was a very painful and traumatizing experience. I don’t even want to know what would happen with a television capacitor. (I did actually take an old television apart when I was young – thank God I didn’t touch the circuitry)..

@everyone sane:
Yes, she really was damn hot (and still is despite her age).

@everyone else:
Shut up, she IS hot.

@evan:
“disappeared into the void”? What exactly are you talking about? Her latest album is from 2007 (the ones before from 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005), the three lastest singles came out this year and she has many live-performances all the time. Strange way of “disappearing”… ;)

Her interest in learning is attractive.
Interesting conceptual speech on her part.
I always enjoy her learning process and analytical process that she chooses to share; unique and intriguing.

You can tell this video is old, because she says that everyone in Iceland is happy right now. Last I checked, their banking system is having a pretty bad meltdown.

I was kinda expecting her to touch one of the HT leads or a powercap and then Bang! Shame, would have amused me.
