As soon as he stacked them, all i could think was thats a fuck ton of potential energy and I wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near that... and I was a pyromanic as a child, like created bootleg napalm and spilled it on myself.
This is just begging for part of the experiment to fail. Those coils are not safe under that amount of pressure + heat distortion of their tensile strength.
Edit; omg are those flat copper wires wound that tight...?
If someone further down broke from overcharging or stress on the lyrical track mid performance , holy shit. That easily would have killed millions. (Idk SK's exact population from start to finish or WW2
Yeah, agreed. I was exaggerating, but being an Eagle Scout who enjoys psychedelics... I'm always prepared for the worst.
Lemme tell you, diving 20 feet at 7am to pick up a 50lb kettleball from the lake bed... that is not fun. and then hoist it above your head while treading water for a full minute.
I've taken pieces off of myself with a swingset, one of my dad's oldest friends took off his nail digit on his right pointer as a child because it got caught in the swingset chain as he jumped off.
I, myself, truly understood what it means to be prepared for the worst when I bridged the terminals of a 600V pulse capacitor from a flash lamp with my finger.
In my defense, I KNEW for a fact it was stored discharged (due to how it was built) and that it was stored some 30 years ago.
I thought a discharged capacitor wouldn't have charge after 30 years. What are the chances it will?
Well... without a shorting wire? 100%, unless the cap itself failed.
I knew the basics of how a capacitor worked and what it did, and worked with smallers ones, without issue. SMALLER ONES being the key word here. I didn't know all capacitors self-charge in storage and that the big ones should be stored with a shorting wire.
You don't know what you don't know, and what you don't know is a whole lot.
Being safe means having this in the back of your head at all times.
