tucker301 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Followed the link, but I didn't see the bb gun. Something on the side had my undivided attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69beers Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 So much for "Hey kid, you'll shoot your eye out!" Not to be a naysayer, but did anybody notice what remarkable shape the plastic frame surrounding the TV screen was in? They must be using Rhino chokes!!! Also, my knowledge of electronics is limited, but what would cause components (with the exception of large capacitorswhich are charged) to explode and ignite when sitting in the middle of a field, not plugged in, and not struck by lightning??

A CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) is sealed under pressure and at the yoke contains about 25,000 volts DC. I'm guessing when that voltage was released into the rest of the television that that is what caused the fire, as well if the tv is old enough there are some oil filled components inside that would make things go that way - not a lot of oil, but enough to give you the effects they saw. I'm really surprised that he was able to break the picture tube with BB's. TV tubes are "tough". Notice he's wearing a face shield for all the BB's that bounced back. Careful kid! You'll shoot your eye out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
