Peter Terren's Tesla Down Under

摘要

Why step on cans when they can be crushed with 16kJ from a capacitor bank? A 1kJ can crusher can be made with two 36 μF, 5.2kV capacitors from medical defibrillators. The capacitors are connected to wires wound around the can and then discharged. (Figure 1.) A can ripper/wire vaporizer can be made by adding a third capacitor. The results for applying 200J, 300J, 1500J, and 1500J, respectively, are shown in Figure 2. The 16kJ model was created with a 112μF/80nH, a 51.2μF/40nH, and a 51.7μF/40nH capacitor in parallel.
