Question for electrical boffins - exploding dolphin (torch)
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:08 pm
This happened at work.
Normal everyday Everyready Dolphin torch (not the recharging model) was in use when it 'exploded'
Singed the uniform, sprained thumb.
Battery: NO damage at all. Newish cheap bulk buy battery dry cell.
Globe: std issue. No damaged, still works.
Torch: force was enough to blow the front off past the thread.
Noise was heard 30m away. I was on leave - the hardware has been disposed of.
Theories??
