A project for Krumlink

[blueroomelectronics]

I'm pretty sure Krumlink would like this project.

PS Krumlink don't build it, it is a dangerous project.

Pretty!

I want the caps

Its no use to you, it dosnt have a 'VVV' !!

Just make sure you give it the tongue test when you power it up mate. The darwin awards are a bit lacking this year

wow, that is an amazing amount of effort to just crush a can.

I think it does other stuff besides crush beer cans. Believe you can shrink coins with it as well. That link on Hack-a-Day had a demonstration unit for $5200, kind of an expensive toy. No wonder college is so expensive...

I've got 16 X 37,000 uF @ 95 VDC capacitors, wonder if that would be enough to crush cans? Each one is slightly larger then a beer can...

that's either a very obscure way to insult some one or an alternative approach to crushing beer cans. I'll opt for the latter.

I bet if you dropped one on a can...

I've seen these before. Check this one out, they've managed to shrink solid aluminum coins with it, and rip aluminum cans into bits using HD platters as short range projectiles. Just hope you don't have any AM radios on in the house at the time, you'll probably burn the receiver out.

Harvey who knows. If you put those all in series and have a way to charge it to 1.5kvs's or so (pretty easy) you might have a chance, but you'd have to be damn careful, they're not kidding when they say that kind of energy discharge ability can kill instantaniously, at at a kv or so you have to be very careful about insulators and week nearby conductors (like hair) It really depends on the resistance of the load and the impedance such a high current discharge will put the load under. The faster the discharge the better which is why surge generators tend to be very high voltage but relativly low capacitance.

That site hasn't been updated since 2004 which is a shame as it's such a great site.
