I hadn't used the cap bank for a while so I decided to get it out and pop a few things with 6400 volts stored in 70 uF worth of caps. First up is the board from a satellite receiver. Then a PVR board gets its' turn in the HV toaster. A small capacitor gets disintegrated and a can gets its' waistline narrowed. I tried a beer can filled with water, but could only crease it slightly so I finished it off with an air rifle. Slow motion recorded at 240 and 480 frames/sec.
