Lethal Capacitor, power cord, empty pop cans.
Put a pop can in the obvious place. Plug in the capacitor to the power source. Turn on the capacitor, and turn the variac dial to 80. Press the "H.V. on" button. Wait for the meter on the front of the capacitor to read 2.7kV, and then press the "surge on" button.
Description:
Shows
Eddy
current
in
a
loud
and
potentially
dangerous
fashion.
This
one
is
a
crowd
pleaser.
Beware:
The
resultant
noise
is
quite
loud,
and
will
startle
and
scare
small
children,
as
well
as
cause
slight
ringing
in
the
ears
of
anyone
close
by.
Before
firing
the
capacitor,
ensure
that
the
path
of
the
pop
can
is
clear,
just
in
case
it
explodes
and
flies.
DO NOT let anyone touch the pop can while the capacitor is plugged in, as the capacitor has been known to discharge on its own, with no warning.
If the capacitor is fired too frequently, the connector will fuse itself shut. In this case, unplug the capacitor and use the attached screwdriver to pry apart the connector.
