Gotta respect CRTs
 

This is the only time I've seen one fight back, but then again it had a target the size of a barn door.

It's a "directed" implosion!

Kinda like a Claymore mine - "this side towards enemy", 'cept it should say, "DUMMIES AIM HERE" :D

:D Darwin at work , culling the stupid out of the herd .......

Yep.

A much safer way of releasing the vacuum from a CRT is to break the vacuum seal, located within the locator key on the CRT base; that or knock the neck off. I knew kids in my old neighborhood near Cleveland who would throw rocks at the screens of discarded TVs on trash collection day, and I was amazed most of the kids escaped without being injured badly by flying glass when the tube imploded. :eek: All CRTs, after all, are under tremendous vacuum pressure; listen one time when the vacuum seal breaks and note how loud the initial hissing sound is when air first enters the tube.

I wonder how my de-cataracted tube would hold up to such treatment!

Did the kid survive.

The vid reminds me of those other YT videos of idiots blowing engines out.Idiots burning out electronic stuff with 600 volts going into it.I seen a video where a idiot guy sets up a unshielded microwave magnatron outside of the oven and fried computer stuff and a TV with it.

Years ago at the shop we used too dump still sealed CRTs in the dumpster and hear them implode in the dumpster.Of course that had to stop because of the envirofreaks came into the picture..

My mine is made up.
 

Got inspired and just had to make this. :D It would certainly apply to any enemy close enough to be reading it. :smoke:
