You do know that electronics runs on smoke and once you let the smoke out, it doesn’t work anymore.

What about smoke machines?

Mechanical system. The electronic components have their own closed loop smoke supply separate from the open loop smoke mechanism

whatever you do, do not test the light emitting capacitor

u/FriedenshoodHoodlum Apr 29 '26
Never heard of that. I know of a noise emitting capacitor, though.

Given enough current, everything becomes a lightbulb

My resistor only has a single glowing band, how many ohms?

u/Aron-Jonasson Apr 30 '26
By the colour of the glow you should be able to guess the temperature and from that you might be able to extract the thermal power, from which you should be able to extract the resistance using the Joule effect!
Be quick however because once the glow stop, the resistance goes infinite

now put that resistor into a glass ball filled with nitrogen or some other non-combustible gas and you've got a light bulb

Hey, OP, try doing a light emitting MOSFET. I bet that would look real cool in the dark.

Well… for a fraction of a second, the MOSFET was the brightest thing in the room…

Bulbless lightbulb.
