David explains, what's inside an HVAC capacitor. Do not try this at home. Thanks for watching! - David David@DavidJonesAC.com Follow me on Facebook: / david-jones-ac-1010702...
I’m currently in school for hvac and found this video because we’re studying capacitors. I’ve always wanted to know what was inside of them. Thank you for sharing this video.
Going through edumacating myself on this today due to an air-conditioner that isn't working. I love how you've taken it to another level and actually cut into several capacitors to actually show what the innards are. Good for you. Thanks for doing this and sharing. Continued success in all you do.
I had to replace my capacitor and now I know, what's in one! Thanks!! It's always interesting to find what's in stuff.I still got to replace my fan on airconditioning unit.
A good friend of mine just replaced the capacitor on our A/C unit. He told me that the material inside is Cancerous and should not be handled. You may want to consider wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) before tearing into something. I work with chemicals at work that I have to do the same with. Also,if you do get something on you, do not use HOT water to get it off. That will open up your pores and let the substance travel into your blood stream, then to your liver. Just trying to help.
I think that he might have been talking about older capacitors that contain PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyl) in the oil. If the capacitor is labeled "No PCBs," you are OK. Otherwise, be careful about handling and disposal.
I gave a thumbs up for presentation. But I wasn't clear with my question. I am so stoopid..😒 I was wondering what was inside a capacitor. But more so as to the material that makes up the inside capacitor. 🤔 bout to say to hell with it. thanks. nice video
CONCENTRIC PLATES,SPHERES AND HOLLOW CYLINDERS OUT OF WHICH ONE GETS EARTHING WHICH MAKES THE OTHER PLATE HAVING SIMILAR BUT OPPOSITE CHARGE DUE TO WHICH THE ELECTRIC FIELD GETS BOUNDED BETWEEN THE PLATES..which makes the electrical energy to be stored..
Can a capacitor be rebiuld. I have one that is not available it looks like a cell phone square and thin, it sits under the base of a vintage Craftsman motor.
Have a 3/4 hp a/c compressor that starts fine, runs for a minute then shuts off, compressor was at normal operating temperature. I Let it cool down for a few hrs and when plugged it in start capacitor overheated and blew white smoke so I shut it off. My clamp on meter shows 25 amp continuous draw when starting and running(not good). Compressor starts right away and seems to run normal (only 2yrs old), r134a level is good, evap gets cold right away, good suction on low side. Any solutions?
Its OK in the woods/forest unlike batteries, Or electronics, Valuable ones, Nothing if its a non valuable/value or plastics are all OK to bury if its notj UST plastic,
Am I missing something? I thought this is what's inside a capacitor not what's inside a capacitor case! Next video is what's inside a car engine. Pop's hood open....see!

Thank you for preventing me from making a big mess in my workshop. Well done

are you really saying that anything you get on your hand and then wash with hot water will enter your blood stream?

@@klafong1 surely those arnt major harmful just somewhat so a little
Those capators would just have some kind of oil. PCB's were banned in 1979. Nothing he showed is that old.
Cool! You did the all the footwork for us. Thanks!
Thanks for doing this, David. Much appreciated!
I was just showing what was inside, your right about not touching. Thanks for the comment.
Wow!!!!😲 very graphic video!!!

May I ask why there is a resistor inside the microwave AC capacitor?
Can AC capacitor used to store DC current? Or they are not compatible?
thank you for the video sir!!!
If you had kept uploading these kinds of videos you would have become a rich man today
Yes I will, thanks for the request.
I have the one on my condenser out side leaking, is there any problem with that? My ac is working fine
Great video
Thank you
Can a capacitor be rebiuld. I have one that is not available it looks like a cell phone square and thin, it sits under the base of a vintage Craftsman motor.
Will u please make a video about coils that only have ice on certain parts of the coil
That's a leak
I watched this because I happened to find one outside and thought about using it for a practice dummy grenade.
what kind of, if any, precious metals are within? i have 5 huge blue ones i dont want to open if i dont need too
Don't they have some caustic hydroxide inside for the electrolyte
Address, where I can send a pair of gloves to?
Thanks
I suggest wearing gloves when handling chemicals.
If they are from the 1980's or earlier, they could contain PCB's and are considered extremely carcinogenic .
DOUGLAS WHITE
DOUGLAS WHITE I know people that buried 1970s and 1980s capacitors with out containers what's the fine if any epa
how to open it
Battery acid...?
I watched your video but I couldn't take my eyes off that copper wire
I know how you feel lol
True scrapper runs in your blood! Love it!
Thanks you may have stopped me from getting cancer...

bill richards you need a new relay for the compressor should solve your problem if not put a jump start kit on it
Me and a buddy played a drinking game - Take a shot every time he says Capacitor. we died of alcohol poisoning. the end.
is it illegal to bury capacitors
Its OK in the woods/forest unlike batteries,
Or electronics,
Valuable ones,
Nothing if its a non valuable/value or plastics are all OK to bury if its notj UST plastic,
WHAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT ARE IN ELECTRONICS ARE THEY GANGEROUS I HAD ONE LEAKING AND I AM FREAKED THE F OUT
At the end of video you said campasator
That liquid is acid
why everyone think everything cause cancer
They’re from California, that’s why
Hello cancer...
Hello.
Martin Zone Hahahahaa!!!!
gatorade
M'kay
There are no value,
Am I missing something? I thought this is what's inside a capacitor not what's inside a capacitor case! Next video is what's inside a car engine. Pop's hood open....see!
Why are you not wearing gloves? Do you even know what chemicals you are dealing with?
