  • yeah neon transformer, only a low voltage one of 5500 volts,higher peak to peak obviously, but dont need to get any higher. Keen to keep about half rated voltage of caps to extend their life and to limit voltage reversal.

  • Just to create large magnetic fields for various things. I have another video on here of this working but I ended up blowing up a capacitor though, through a combination of them not being the best type available and voltage reversal. I now have a brand new capacitor getting made for me in the USA worth about 10,000 US dollars, rated 11000 volts at 125000 amps. These are special pulse discharge capacitors and are made for this sort of thing.

  • yeah it cost about 4 or 5 thousand dollars all up

  • how many farads ?

  • It is capacitor back, think about it like a giant battery, but the cap. bank is a little different. Were as batteries release their energy slowly this stores a lot of electricity, & let it all out in a fraction of a second! :) if ur a nerd like me this thing is fucking huge & awsome, although I would've liked to see it hooked up 2 a rail gun also.

  • What is this?  A rail butt plug. Lol

  • @mythicaljw Electric things :)

  • You have a top coment from 2 years ago asking what it does...why havent you answered? Now you are forcing me to also ask.....WHAT DOES IT DO?

  • rape raped in a box

  • @12co3dy21 Sounds like Fallout 3.

  • this call's for a Awesome Rail Gun :)

  • attatch a rail gun and make that back pack size and down a coupe beers and u got the making of a great night :P

  • Dear god...
