My capacitor bank was built using PCBs sponsored by PCBgogo:

For those curious, the device in my video is a 700 joule solenoid-triggered capacitor bank rated at 4,500V and 65uF. It's not the largest bank in the world, but it is still fully capable of pulsing 4,500V at several kiloamps...more than enough to kill you. If you attempt to emulate anything shown in this video, you do so at your own risk. This thing is basically a defibrillator capacitor, but with double the voltage. A shock from a bank of this size won't be something you walk away from easily!

Here thanks to Nilered's recommendation and how do you only have 5k subs? You're doing some absolutely wild projects and I'm here for it. If you're considering viewer suggestions, I haven't seen anyone make a chemical laser or a laser wakefield particle accelerator.
I'd love to try a megawatt-range chemical laser, but I don't know if that'll happen for a while...I need more experience and hydrazoic acid, haha!
Same. Here because of NileRed.
Subscribed. Nice work. I hope you catch some of his subscribers.
Tbh I'm only here for Flux Capacitors and Hoverboards...........No Pressure! Haha jkjk ❤️🧡💛
Also nile red
We too
Getting some real Styropyro vibes here and im loving it!
ooh yeah new video incoming
I'm not sure if this information will be practically useful for the kind of demonstrations you are doing, but if you are looking for "the fastest edge" (ie. the shortest possible rise time [highest frequency content] ) consider using capacitors specifically designed for pulse discharges. Also (specifically EMP experiments) keep in mind the amount of stray inductance you have inherently by the physical set up of the circuit, what frequency you are intending to propagate (which I guess would be determined by the physical size of unshielded circuit elements in targeted equipment), and even possibly how long your transmitter would "ring" before it destroyed itself. From my (limited) understanding you would be trying to make a radio emission with such a high magnitude that a sufficient current would be induced into random circuit elements such that it would cause a failure. A "failure" in this context would range from a logical glitch or microcontroller reset all the way to irreversible semiconductor damage. The scale that a garage hobbyist would feel comfortable playing with (without worrying too much about personal safety or a visit from the government) naturally constrains the experiment to mostly "near field" tinkering.
I’ve been watching your videos since I found you on nile red an hour ago… I just noticed how many subs you have, I swear it jumped by at least 1,000 since I first noticed 😂 you deserve it man!
I love how you say everything nonchalantly.
"Bridge wire detonators are quite handy for setting off explosives when prcise timing is required, for instance, in nuclear weapons."
Oh, okay.
You do nile red and styro pyro stuff!?! Bro this is awesome
Also a little Ex&F and Cody'sLab, with a touch of Plasma Channel, but yeah, that pretty much sums it up, haha!
You can use a hockey puck SCR with a pull down resistor on the gate to keep it from false firing to set it off faster without loss from the spark jumping a gap; also prevents the energy from bouncing back and forth and causing more wear and tear on the caps. Or try using one of those little high voltage modules to create a path for the main arc to discharge through. Pulse caps, like camera flash caps but bigger or a bunch in parallel would give more bang for your buck too. Great videos! I managed to make a good size waist in a small aluminum capacitor with two wraps of 20ga. wire around it tightly and pushed what I had through it. The wire exploded and the capacitor lost it's plastic coating when Mr. Lorentz forced it to shrink. I ran 8 thirteen mF 2000 volt caps on bus bars and charged it with a flyback transformer. Eventually the caps failed though probably through the feedback that goes on when you simply make contact without an SCR, or other indirect means of firing the bank to keep that reverb from happening...
First time watcher here.
I subscribed after the first 2 minutes
subbed from nile red mention. cant wait to binge watch all your content at 3 am!
Glad to hear it, hope I can continue to entertain! Quick warning: my newer content is much better quality, haha!
I had no idea that fire was kinda conductive , mm that got me thinking hehe cool
Amazing video bro. I discovered your channel because Nile red gave you credit for making thile acceton
very cool bank! I might be interested in a similar build very soon.. nice work!
Glad to have found your channel,subbed
I'm impressed that Brilliant is willing to sponsor you, given slightly hazardous content like this.
i saw the EPFCG and instantly subbed
The EMP generated by this capacitor is weak, but the sound it produces is loud. There are three reasons for this:
1. The capacitance and inductance in series are too large.
2. The discharge time is not fast enough, it needs to be in milliseconds.
3. The voltage is far from enough, at least 100KV.
I have extensive experience in constructing ultra-high voltage EMP devices. If you are interested, we can exchange ideas together.
Found you from NileRed. I love your videos, theyre amazing!
NileRed gang where you at? Let's get this channel to 10K subs for Christmas!!!
Looking forward to the EPFCG! Your last vide got me thinking about how feasible it would be to make a working device with off the shelf parts.
We will watch your career with great interest!
This might not be cool enough for your taste but I used to like running the wire inside a glass tube (broken pipette for instance) and exploding the wire inside. Between two plates of glass would probably work too. Anyway it is a quick and dirty and not great way to sputter metal onto glass. It works better with an inert gas in the tube or if you pull a vacuum. Naturally the glass might break explosively so keep that in mind while designing the safety part of the experiment. I know for sure copper coats well, and I think aluminum does okay, not sure about other metals.
That's very interesting. I would try it under vacuum, and preheating the substrate might help some materials coat.
You should try semiconductor switches, SCR are pretty resilient compared to IGBTs and MOSFETs, but an ignitron or a thyratron is what you really need.
Also if you can get the current rise time high enough (2000A/100ns, higher than most semiconductors can ever do, but comfortably handled by spark gaps or the aforementioned switching devices), you can cause explosive vaporization of a bridgewire with just a 1000V 0.2uF capacitor, in a slapper detonator.
It'd be cool to see these explosions filmed by slowmoguys
Came from nilered, seems like a fun channel il stick around.
4:46 My guy just blew up fire!.
High voltage and water! Everyone's favorite mixture.
I've enjoyed watching your sub count jump by thousands over today, and I've finished binging all your vids in that time, this was a good shoutout. Here's hoping the growth keeps up, you deserve it (also plz get a fumehood).
Also, also, not typically something I'd go looking for, but the tornado chasing stuff was super interesting. Being from the UK my experience with tornados is almost entirely the rather dated movie "Twister", so I was pretty confused initially how you guys were going to get those giant cones to get sucked up into the tornado, and why they had to be heavy, learn something new every day.
Glad to hear you've enjoyed the content so far! Hopefully the next year proves even better (especially tornado-wise, haha!), but yeah, I really do need a fumehood...maybe someday I'll be able to afford one!
Me too! I just finished catching up with all the videos! I wish I had found this channel sooner, but better late than never! Thanks to Nile for pointing out your channel.
Blowing up some thin wires under the water you can make a electrical hydraulic effect that can be quite useful in forming metal and destroying rocks.
Awesome!! You got me as a sub🤟
Could you make a miniature shaped charge with this? Like discharging the current through copper foil placed on a shaped, non-conducting surface (ceramic?).
so underrated
'I gotta amp it up'
I see what you did there, lol
Ok this channel is this channel a mix of styropyro and nilered? OMG amazing contrnt
Here from NileRed. Can’t wait to binge your entire channel.
great video
Awesome video 🎉🎉🎉
your content is sick dude. that spiderman pop in was great. keep it up :P
Try to discharge it through the laminar flow of salt water flowing from top tank to bottom. Just use electrodes big enough to make a good junction between wires and electrolyte.
4.5 kV?! That's some terrifying amount of juice stored in those capacitors.
LabCoatz: I will build a flux compression generator
Sickos: yes. hahaha. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Yeah, soundwise you are on point here. Very reminiscent of styropyro. Will definitely stick around for a blast in the future ;)
Blasting squibs are Al wire in water bath. O is stripped from the water to oxidize the Al. This happens to be the highest conventional explosive.
This explains what you saw with the Al wire under water. Add more Al powder and water and you can blow up your house. So don’t do it.
Damn brilliant, I didn't know you were cool!
And today, I'll be showing off
Awesome video and totally jealous!
Probably for the best I don't have or make one myself. I have a feeling I'd get myself in trouble 🤣
That is some serious juice
Dude, that was amazing! I wonder if you could use this in any way with some of the stuff that I sent/am sending?
Maybe! 😉
I have the same pants. I have a friend who has those pajama pants too
Now I know what to build with my 12 400v 6,000uf caps I have.
dude your content is too underrated nile red did you justice
It's like Photonicinduction's 1 megawatt capacitor that can destroy any household appliance.
Nice
i'll be awaiting the "i pissed off the FAA, FCC FBI and CIA by making a EPFCG" video
Hey are you ever gonna make that flux compression generator thing you talked about in the video?
Was I the only one who initially heard 'Flux Capacitor' at 3'53? Showing my age in more ways than one.
So epic! Did you ever try exploding magnesium ribbon? I've never seen that done before!
Actually yes, I did try magnesium! Although it was shavings, and it was quite underwhelming, so I left it out. Didn't even get a decent fireball or flash!
@@LabCoatz_Science Dangg, well I'm glad you tried
Only need to make a bigger one.
Dude a Collab with you and styropyro would be dope
Blow up tungsten maybe start with a light bulb and sheild
As much as I love this, is there a way to use this cheap system for simply just storing power for super cheap? AKA a cheap but super effective battery? That's my true interest.
If you want to store power, batteries are still the way to go. A single AA already holds ten times more energy than this entire capacitor bank. Capacitors are good for creating short, quick pulses, but not so much for storing a lot of energy long-term.
The EPFCG must be the "pinch" from Ocean's Eleven
That's actually the theme I'll be going for, good eye!
Do some of this over a black background and you could have a cool asset library for vfx
Maybe even make some good cash selling the assets
Also a slow motion camera would probably help with creating cool assets
I'd love a slow-mo cam, but I'm basically broke at this point, haha! It's definitely on the bucket list though!
Could you do video with slow mo guys to get better visual of foil or other conductive materials (including mercury if you are feeling bit too brave) getting evaporated by that current.
Maybe someday, if they're up for it!
What would it do if you done this experiment through liquid and solid gallium? Surely the solid gallium would liquefy instantly
I've been wanting to build a rail gun. The only thing holding me back is the energy needed is enough to kill someone, and the backpack battery bank weighs too much.
Energetic chemistry in the future?
Maybe some, but not anything I might get reported for, like nitroglycerin. I might do nitrogen trihalides and some other unstable compounds/mixtures that tend to deflagrate, but other than that, I'm going to stay on YT's good side!
If you don't have fast pulse instrumentation ,you don't have any idea how many watts your pulse achieves. If you are switching by hand you need to get your act together.
Fun! What was the voltage?
I mentioned in the description, but it's 4,500V
@@LabCoatz_Science Thanks! I was blind.
Hopefully that's not the calculator you use for your classes, lol
It might have been one of them... 👀
@@LabCoatz_Science well as long as it's not the only one.
I struggled enough in my math classes without an error prone calculator. (Although I did find one of mine was broke somehow as no matter how much I tried, I didn't get the answer the teacher said we were supposed to get. They even tried after class and just said matter of factly, 'yeah this calculator is broke' what?!?!
Man should talk to styropryo
Ear protection is probably a good idea
How about an atmospheric tesla coil. Much of Nikola tesla's vague blueprints covered the subject.
HV plus WATER = bad outcome.... what were you thinking with that setup?
İ want to see, what if we put this in tesla coils primary
You may want to consider an old AC contactor versus your solenoid. You are probably loosing a little punch through the steel conductors there.
Why not run this high voltage discharge into clear acrylic for some beautiful Mandelbrot art?
The voltage isn't nearly high enough. Typically, for acrylic "captured lightning", you'd need over 100kV applied by an electron particle accelerator.
@@LabCoatz_Science wow, thanks for the prompt reply! I really enjoy how your channel is developing. Keep up the good work!
you in a nilered video brother
Now I know I made it big, lol!
get yourself a samsung galaxy s10, very usable 950 fps slow mo cam and for sale for scraps. its a shame not to capture those discharges... :)
Shoot, if I had the money to buy one, I would just triple or quadruple the size of my capacitor bank instead, lol!
@@LabCoatz_Science found some used ones on ebay for 80$... the value to a video would be captivating ;)
@@LabCoatz_Science great example video, search for: Samsung Galaxy S10 Super Slow Motion 960 fps
in CZcams.
Merry Christmas!
Wonder how fast you could get a 2mm ball bearing to go?
Ah, I see, if I touch it, it'll blow up my insides.
You should hook up with @ExplosionsAndFire guy and discuss the type of chemical charge needed for a device like this.
Dude!
Dude.
That looks pretty dangerous
Only slightly! 😉
So given that 8 months has gone by and I don't see the world's first EPFCG on CZcams... I'm going to guess either the video got yeeted into the ether or Mr. FBI/ATF/DHS gave someone a phone call.
Nah, I've just had different priorities. I might come back to it eventually (whenever I can use explosives without getting into trouble), but for now, my primary focus is chemistry.
I think in the future, I will not be surprised if we begin to see neighborhoods where only CZcams Creators are allowed to live... Your neighbors must *_hate_* you already! 🤘🤘 😏
Stay safe though! Be sure to keep your bank shorted out while not in use, so that it can't build up a charge from stray atmospheric voltage (or whatever its properly called, since... that sounds rather tinfoil-hatty... 🤣)
Gauss rifle when?
Not sure, coil guns are pretty overrated imo. But an electrothermal gun...now THAT could cause some appreciable damage!
nile sent me
Do you think this is in the "coin shrinking" class?
Not really, it won't even crush a can for some reason.
And if I accidentally discharge this capacitor on myself, what happens?
It depends how you discharge it. If you simply touch both electrodes with the same hand/arm, only that extremity will be effected (most likely result is a severe shock/burn, but it may be worse). However, if you grab one electrode in each hand, you essentially defibrillate your heart, and you'll probably die. Hence why the "one hand rule" exists.
Dont let the cartels see these videos or else theyll say lead or silver amigo
Lab coatz I think you live fairly close to me, try not to emp my house.
If that's true, it's good to hear from a fellow Oklahoman! I'll definitely do my best not to shut down the power grid, especially with this freezing weather, haha!
You're getting AWFULLY close to creating EBW detonators.
