| ▲ | jacquesm 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's almost worth the experiment and your cables are a sacrifice I'm willing to make. For science, of course. | | |
| ▲ | bigiain 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | You're _so_ right! I'm pretty sure you have my delivery address from when I bought sorted Lego from you about 10 years back. Let me know when to expect the 100,000Amp test equipment! I shall make sure I wear better PPE than just my reading glasses. :-) | | |
| ▲ | jacquesm 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | This would be the funniest thing to do. 100K Amps is doable, the question is for how long. That would be one very impressive bank of capacitors. And to turn a 00 into plasma would have some spectacular side effects, such as raining molten copper across a sizeable area. Just your reading glasses would indeed not be enough, there probably isn't any PPE that I would consider entirely safe other than sufficient distance from ground zero. But now I'm really curious. I have a spot welder that will do bursts of 5KA and that will happily throw the breaker every so many welds. 100KA sustained will be a fair engineering challenge. Ah, that lego project... that was one I always wondered if I should have industrialized it but sourcing enough lego was a real problem. | | |
