How Many Volts Can These Motors Take Before They Pop
Lets find out!

I use my variac to overvolt these small DC electric motors to see how many volts they can possibly stand. All in the name of science!

I plug in my isolation transformer into standard wall outlet (American) 120 volt AC. Then I plug my variac into that to isolate it. I then plug a full bridge rectifier into my variac changing the output from AC to DC. I then attach the motors to the rectifier and crank up the voltage until they cant take it anymore.

Always know what your doing if your ever going to experiment with electricity as it can be dangerous if used improperly.

I'm a fan of ElectroBOOM :D hes awesome and creates wonderful entertaining video that can help explain electronics if your interested I recommend checking him out

Enjoy!
