Just curious, have anyone videoed over volt or reverse connected polymer capacitors and posted how they fail?
IIRC most of the videos I've seen are of cheap wet aluminum capacitors which are fairly spectacular, but what about polymer - do they mainly fail the same way? Or not?
The wet aluminum capacitors will expand due to vapor generation of the liquid electrolyte and could blast off. Polymer capacitors have two transition phases from solid to liquid and then liquid to gas... so do they do the same thing or simply immolate on board?
