High Current Destruction

  Releasing a large charge all at once can have some fantastic results. Lemming from the EEVBlog forum has taken 16 X 2500V 40uF capacitors all connected in parallel, this provides 2180J potential. They are able to provide about 4000A at 2500V for a short time! The video below shows what happens when you pass too much current through a pencil.
