My capacitor bank hooked up to a big 3 turn coil, sending an aluminum plate flying.

I cannot believe you had no safety face shield on, way too crazy man.

That is pretty freaking cool.

Hey how about a rocket launcher? Make a missile with a rail system.

You had best take it to some safe place to try it out.

Thanks for sharing Einstein

@tryin2lhard Not sure why everyone insists I wear a sheild... There were no explosives or anything involved here, and the plate doesn't go any direction but up...

Thanks for commenting!

@1ukjunglednbraver It can, which is why I use a discharge wand to set it off :)
