Working TV smoking and on fire

  • Old TV testing to the end.
    A orange smoke flare was inserted in the TV. fuse bridged, to see what would happen.
    It is surprising how fast a fire develops in a TV set.
    A small smoke tornado was formed in the smoke plume.
    A VHS tape was played on the VRC to avoid copyrights issues as I own the copyrights to the video shown.
    Caution !! Electricity is used in this experiment. Always isolate the supply before touching any equipment under test.
    My orange supply lead is controlled by a 32 Amp 3 pole contactor which was de-energised before extinguishing the actual TV fire.
    ( Later today Hobsonville, Auckland got hit by a real tornado which killed 3 people, my condoleances go out to their families )

    Back in the day when CRTs were still widely used, some left their TV in stand-by mode even when they went on holidays and from time to time, I would read in the newspaper how TV caught fire and burned down their apartment.

    Total LMAO! The TV is displaying a picture of a CRT being arc'd over, while it's own one is just about to burst into flaaaames. :-D
    At 2:50 LOL....Those valves are glowin' away in there quite nicely. :-D
    I do wonder.....If this was repeated on another TV, but with the implosion band removed of the CRT, whether-or-not we'd get a massive big *POP* with bits of glass everywhere. :-D
    As always, thanxx for showing and for taking the time to set-up these vids. :-)

    nice! that tv worked for a long time. Even under fire and stress with componets burning and popping, it must have fuzzed the CRT picture circuit first? then later got the rest, input, decoder, audio, etc. oh and that sstinks about the tornado.. My condolences go out to the families as well. Was it close to your town? or no? If not, your lucky it missed you guys. I've never been in a tornado, but seen the sky before one. VERY DARK BLACK and calm. Scary.

    It's surprising how quick a CRT TV goes up in flames. About 15 years ago my granny had the TV on (~21" set) and in the time it took for her to get something from the kitchen, the whole back was up in flames. Luckily there was a garden hose handy, which a neighbour used to put the fire out by breaking a window near the fire. It took a few weeks to clean up the smoke damage (repaint the rooms, etc). There wasn't much left of the TV, just the base part and a lot of chunky shards of the CRT.

      I know what your talking about, i remember the time i was watching the supercar races when i smelt this awful sulfurey ozone smell coming from the TV, my cat was on top of the TV. then all of a sudden there was this hiss sound and arcing inside the tube neck housing, the cat jumpped off of the television when SMOKE wisped out of the vents in the tube neck housing, i ducked into the closet and turned off the breaker to all of the outlets. when i got back into the living room, the smoke detector was giving out 3 sets of beeps every two seconds and the TV was off (because i flipped the breaker thx captain obvious) and the entire tube neck housing was engulfed in flames. thankfully, i had a fire extinguisher and was able to knock it down very quickly. the TV resembled a burnt out wind turbine after everything was done with. the front of the TV was fine, except for the fact that there was a huge crack in the screen.
      my sat receiver and VCR survived, but i can't say the same for the cables. fixing the damage was fun, and expensive. as for the TV set, i ended up donating it to a electrical fire safety demonstration thingy along with the CCTV footage of the whole event. I still see that TV at the exposition center whenever they demonstrate what happens. they have had it retrofitted with some kind of LCD thingy and play back the footage of what happened ( edited along with some other fire safety tips ) to the set, on the set. kinda ironic watching a video on the TV of itself bursting into flames.
