New page on capacitor discharge experiments

I put up a new page to give a short overview of the electromagnetic can crusher I built for my department. It is mostly just pictures and some brief descriptions. If there is interest I will go into more detail about construction and the physics behind it.

soon. I have to get the demo guys to dig it out of storage. However the effect is so fast a video is basically worthless. I would need a crazy high speed camera to catch it. Anyone know where I could get one of those?
