...anyone familiar with electronics is WELL AWARE of how violently simple electrolytic and solid tantalum capacitors can EXPLODE...for whatever reason!

...electrolytics turn the water in the electrolytic 'paste' into instant steam, while tantalums when "reverse-charged" conduct and thermally disintegrate.

...sounds like a "real" flux-gate capacitor candidate! Where are all our DeLorean's?
