This means that if you take a capacitor, and charge it up to it's rated
maximum DC Voltage, and either pinch it in a vise, or hit it directly
with a sledge hammer, it will explode. This excludes electrolytic
capacitors.

I don't see how the two are related, or where one would even arrive at
that conclusion. The article (at least to me anyway) seems to discuss
something that is frankly, unknown. I don't believe scientists actually
understand so-called quantum mechanics (yet).

If you took a mythical huge capacitor with foil plates, charged it to some extreme
high value and then smashed it, yes, the plates would come together forming a
short which may produce sparks.

If the dielectric were made of something like, oh.. gunpowder... you might get
an explosion. :-) (or if the power energy in the capacitor were high enough, you
probably wouldn't even need the gunpowder) this would be more or less... a
firecracker.

Seems to me, several years when I was younger and, maybe not so careful, I
charged an electrolytic with straight-line AC power. The electrolytic
apparently vaporized, creating a pressure which resulted in a small explosion.

So, yea, you can do weird freaky stuff with some capacitors. (I don't recall
what type it is, I only have a vague recollection of doing it along with several
other stupid tricks) I don't believe this would possibly have anything to do
with zero point energy, just a vacuum of common sense. :-)

No. It'll open up a wormhole into an alternate universe into which you
will be drawn and from which there is no internet connectivity to this
one. Try it sometime.

Zero point energy is potential energy that is at rest, once you use any of
the energy, it is no longer zero point.

On the other hand you may be an example of zero point energy in that your
energy is of ZERO Point!

Okay, okay, the zero point energy was a bull**** line. But, still, if
you charge up a high voltage capacitor 200 watt volts or greater and
put it in a vice, or hit it with a sledge hammer while fully charged
will explode. Just like a bullet mushrooms, the dielectric is
typically plastic, or waxpaper, and when you apply pressure, it just
get thin. Do it fast enough, and boom.

What's a 'watt volt' ?

Probably true. Is this useful though ?

Blow up a capacitor in a vise, and take videos.
