Air Cannon, Coil Gun, Exploding Wires, Can Smashing, etc

Hacked Gadgets friend FastMHz has been busy doing all sorts of experiments, and this crazy mad scientist has captured it on tape for our enjoyment! Not sure if all fingers and toes are still accounted for, I think I would be hiding (cowering) behind something solid for most of these tests. 🙂

After watching the video those wall mounted can crushers seem so useless, I want to crush cans using a huge electrical discharge! I also have never seen a water capacitor, hopefully FastMHz can fill us in on how to build it and how well it works…

“I’ve just finished a new video my handheld air cannon, an electrothermal cannon (first one I’ve ever seen by a hobbyist), and exploding wires, along with another use for the induction launcher…also got some high power single stage coilgun shots in there…”

  1. Why did the coilgun jump forwards? Could it have that much suckback?


  2. It bounced off the concrete block…the vice was not fastened to the bench, so it was free to move.


  3. I believe he said it was a water resistor, not capicitor, used to safely discharge the bank of batteries. I imagine it’s just salt water.




  4. what kind of wire is that…and how much was it to make….and what parts…


  5. Steam? It’s not converting the water to hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis?
