Yes we too when we placed them inside outlet plugs in the workplace, (ground-1 pin) the user had a 50% chance that it didn't explode with a flash + smoke.
Silly workplace humor 35 years ago.
I see this and my mind immediately goes to two things.
My 5th grade report about microscopic viruses/bacteria and the weird way there shaped.

All Capacitors Are Beautiful
Me too?
Smelly but beautiful
"smelly cap... smelly cap. What are they feeding you?"
Wrong kind of electricity, I guess.
You can watch them blossom into beautiful flowers
I understood that reference
> All Capacitors Are Beautiful Not the high-voltage ones that *literally* explode and leak oily, ammonia-smelling electrolyte all over the place...
>All Capacitors Are Beautiful Except for old oil filled caps that contain PCBs.
[Even Rifa caps?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIFA_AB#/media/File:Tek2445_PSU_board_01_\(crop\).jpg)
They are they remind me of very high voltage hard candies
We need electronic component candies. Like, translucent hard candies in the shape of LEDs and stuff.
If only
It would be really interesting having different flavours based on resistor markings.
STOP RESISTING!!
You know why? Because our instincts /emotions are drawn to berries, food and candy. But I agree, they are beautiful.
Are you serious??? I was not expecting an actual reasoning behind how yummy components have always looked to me lol
Exactly!
If not food , then why food colored and shape?
Happy cake day!
I've had a lot of those dipped tantalum ones fail, much more than the other types.

Is this a flatbed scan?
I'm not OP but yes it looks like it
Until they pop 💀
i am more of an inductor guy myself, those neatly and thightly organised windings are something else
Trust me dont eat them
You can't just eat them. Heat them up first until they pop. Like popcorn.
Specially mica and round tantalum caps. Look like jellybeans
I’ll just assume those little dust grains are 0402s. SMD caps matter too
Look like candy hahaha, don't try them tho 😋
I bet those blue ones in the middle taste the best
what is their function?
Storage of power, they essentially work like small batteries
Inductors master race
Looks like a robot drug bust.
i have a collection of these. especially little foil ones and goofy tantalum ones
And flux capacitors are OUTTATIME.
You need some old “tropical fish” caps.
Now all you need is some diodes and an AC current
Overcharging capacitors and watching them blow up was a past time in my teens!
I wanna eat them all
Plate type variable FTW.
Nice array, how much did they charge?

Woah woah woah, did you put them into resin?
Like candies 😄💙
I always love seeing Capacitors
Yes. Capacitors are cute. Specially small tantalum and y capacitors are really cute
I took the red pill
Yeh, I get a charge out of them too.
they all are beautiful until you let the magic smoke out they all are smelly
Someone introduce them to veriable capacitors
Only because they look like drugs. Lol.
Yes it is

I keep telling my wife I love you, but I love capacitors more. Have you ever seen a tropical fish cap????
[удалено]
Look more like film capacitors to me? Not enough legs to be a relay.
Nope capacitors
