I'm not sure what the point is - or maybe there isn't one. Many
ordinary items will malfunction, or even explode, if crushed by a metal wedge or drilled through. Try it with an aerosol can of deodorant or bug spray - we used an unbelievable amount of bug spray making torches when I was in Boy Scouts. Try it with the CRT in your TV or computer monitor. Try it with the gas tank of your car, or a propane bottle from your grill, or an air conditioner ... If this about the recent and much-overhyped stories of cell phones exploding in people's ears, I don't think it contributes much.

Bill, did you by any chance notice that the wedge only just barely
dented the Li cell before it lit off? The cases on these cells are not any stiffer than a bugspray can, and unlike the bugspray can, denting them apparently will make them short inside and go incindiary. I think that is fairly interesting regardless of how you feel about cell phones. -Chuck Bill Jeffrey wrote: I'm not sure what the point is - or maybe there isn't one.

With the exception of CRTs, the other examples are common knowledge and common sense just like hot coffee while neophytes don't usually experiment with CRTs. If this about the recent and much-overhyped stories of cell phones exploding in people's ears, I don't think it contributes much. Bill On the otherhand, the nowadays suddenly ubiquitious Li-ion packs and their cells look as harmless as common drycells, NiCad or NiMh cells and are experimented with or used for rebuilding packs etc.. Li-ion cells are hazardous material and thus not sold to consumers.. The pictures are graphic and perhaps will stave off an serious accident. =================== James Jones wrote: http://www.surfbaud.co.uk/knowledgebase/vidcaps.html Kids: Don't try this at home! |
