This is an attempt to make a safe-ish portable “Can Crusher” for electromagnetic demonstration purposes. As the energy stored is dangerous a number of safety precautions are employed. These include an air pressure switch so that the operator has no electrical connection to the unit. There is also a mechanical switch for discharging if the firing circuit or coil fails.
