[Paul Anderson] sent in this classic quarter shrinker after seeing the can crusher the other day. It’s another high powered pulse shot into a coil system, but uses a solenoid actuated spark gap switch to swith those sweet high voltages. The results are quite impressive.





50,000-100,000 amps… 3.5-6.3kJ dissipated in 20us… i think the “danger” sign is an understatement :P
