A video clip showing various amounts of energy, from 12kj - 23kj worth, being discharged into various objects. Things included potatos, cans, lamps, speakers, dora balloon, dead SCRs, and of course - pickles!!Yes, I notice the errant sparks on the cap buss bars - this has been corrected after viewing the video and seeing what couldn't be seen in realtime. Screws loosen themselves after repeated discharges, creating the mini-arcs.Now that the charger, bank and triggered spark gap have been tested fully, large flat coils will be wound to launch LARGE EM 'rockets'!!The capacitor bank can hold 24kj of energy at full charge. It's 4500v @ 2400uf!!
