Three phase 480 volt power was then applied across the bus bars for about 1 second. The wires immediately explode, forming a conductive plasma which forms high current power arcs between phases. The actual fault current in the demonstration is not known, but is
If you are wanting to add some bass to your home theater why build a Huge Rubik’s Cube Subwoofer! It isn’t as big as this gigantic subwoofer but it looks a lot more fun. "Sealed Enclosure: 3 Cu.

Check out these Gigantic LED Alarm Clock build instruction and build you very own if you’re like me and fumble around for glasses to see what time it is in the middle of the night.
