It's shows a simple equation really...just using a complicated circuit to tell the story.....at about 54V through the Red data line on the graph. 📈⚡💥🔥 Occilatory Waves + Polarized Capacitors = Thermal Instability 🤣⚡💨🔥😏 After a few seconds the circuit will warm up then after a few more seconds then circuit will say "I told you NOT TO MIX POLARIZED CAPACITORS AND OCCILATORY WAVES!!!" 👾⚡💨🔥🌐 Comments and opinions are always appreciated. 👽

The thermal instability with the polarized capacitors arises from the fact that oscillatory waves in this example try pushing conventional current into the negative lead of the polarized capacitors. When you do that in the real world, with more voltage than the polarized capacitors can handle when powered like that, they can overheat, or, in the case of tantalum capacitors, explode violently

Yeah. I made this as an example of why not to do this....and the flaming outcome. ⚡🔥👽
