    In this video, I wire 100 car batteries in parallel to generate more electric current than a lightning bolt!

      My stepdad did the unthinkable and was taking a shower during a lightning storm. We heard a loud boom and the house shook like crazy, and the power went out. Turns out the outer power line running INTO the house was hit directly by lightning. The cables were melted into the brick siding, and half the fuse box was melted... half the fuse box...
      The other half was fine. The main breaker was tripped. It saved my stepdad's life. He didn't get so much as a shock.

      Like they're dealing with a few grand worth of batteries + whatever they value their lives, and they use a $15 amazon table as a safety device. The vapors alone are enough to make this stupid, before even getting into electrical shock risks, the risk of battery explosion or leakage, the risks of getting hit with flying debris, or the environmental impacts of both their little experiment as well as disposal.

    Back in the 80s, I helped (as a student) with some DC Breaker testing using four recently 'retired' submarine batteries in parallel as a power source, and four quarter inch diameter cables (also in parallel) as load resistors. As I recall we got up to 135 kA during the tests, with the magnetic forces between the cables being strong enough to bend the thick copper bas bars connecting everything up.

      A vertical spike in the time-domain (such as a very brief electric arc) theoretically covers the entire frequency-domain in garbage, lol.
      The narrower the pulse and the faster the rise and fall times, the wider the bandwidth.
      This is why you hear lightning when using an AM radio. Other modulation schemes are less susceptible but if you raise the noise floor enough ... heh.
