  • Congratulations!

    But... you SERIOUSLY need a blast chamber to do this safely! Ejected coil fragments have been measured at up to 5000 m/s for a 10 kJ shot. 10 turns of #12 - 14 AWG work best for a work coil, and steel plate and Lexan work well for a blast shield.

    Also, try shrinking some clad US coins - dimes, quarters, half dollars or bimetal Euros work well. American nickels are copper-nickel alloy (75%/25%) and while they do shrink, they don't shrink as well as clad coins.

    Play safely!

    Thanks for commenting! This toilet carpet thing was more like joke, i knew very well how it would end. Guy who used the switch was hiding behind 6mm thick armor plate with hearing protection.

    After all, this was just zero budget quickndirty setup i put together in one evening.

  • What kind of music?

  • most amazing thing i have seen for a long time

  • That is EXTREMELY impressive. I'm sure the coins were smokin' hot right after their "transformation?"  Did the entire coil vaporize, or was there residual coil pieces?
