Well, my camera isn’t particularly good at high-resolution slow motion, so 320x240 it is! I’ve got a few old 250 mA fuses left over from something that was destroyed long ago, and I figured I might as well see what happens when they burn out in slow motion.

I’m using a power adapter rated for 1100 mA (1.1 A), although that’s the current the adapter can supply, not a measurement of what’s actually passing through the fuse. How quickly a fuse opens depends on the current flowing through it and the characteristics of the fuse itself. Still, it’s rather interesting watching these little things give up in slow motion!
