Shrinking Quarters into Dimes
Cat.: Capacitors, Very High Voltage05. May 2005
Brian Basura is a guy who likes to play with high voltages at home. He built a device that can shrink quarters to the size of dimes, using 10,000 MW of power!
He designed an ultrafast switch that immediately zaps all the power from a 22,000V capacitor into a quarter. He calls the switch a “trigatron”.
