View Profile I wouldn't expect much from this without lots of external additives.

View Profile Really?
Overloading a small one can make it explode, like 20 centimeter radius.

Report back.
If you don't, I'll assume the best.

View Profile I dunno dude. Every time someone has some object that explodes when within its machine and removes it from the machine, such an explosion is usually not possible without replacing it into the machine.

View Profile Assuming you were wearing rubber gloves for safety, throw said Capacitor (with battery attached) into a pond.

View Profile And then why not throw some sodium potassium?
You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.
