Nice video! Thumbs up. I also have a question about a project I am trying to make. I bought a 3300uf 450vdc and I was wondering on the best way to charge it quickly, yet simply. I tried a disposable camera circuit but, of course, that didnt charge it all of the way. What I was doing with another project was just connecting the wall outlet to a full-wave rectifier and then having that connected to 8 small caps in parallel rated at 300vdc. I need it to charge all of the way. What do you think?
Yeah, but whatever. If I live that long. Can't be worse than smoking or playing with high voltage or whatever. I don't go running over and sniff it too many times, and the research building has an air system that should take care of it.
Also, some thicker aluminum should do nicely because you get about twice as much energy out of it as you put in because of the aluminum burning soon after the explosion. I think I'll cut some strips from a pop can and try them tomorrow.
Actually I was just thinking of making some magnesium strips from a block I have at home and doing this with them. Today was devoted to improvements, but tomorrow will be extensive testing.

Isn't that plume going up from the vaporized copper quite toxic to inhale?

I also forgot to mention an upcoming video of me firing it through a 4th of July sparkler, which should be excellent.

lets see some more aluminum or maybe some magnesium
