Nice sig sharkeeper.
 
MegaPulse! I used a capacitor bank like that in college for my railgun. ( tho not quite that big 🙂 ) That will be some serious AMPS 🙂

Here, here. I would want to wear a helmet well on that thing. Cool non the less.
 
All I can say about that bike is "WATCH OUT FOR THOSE POWER LINES!!!" Oops, too late.

Actually that thing is incredibly badly designed, I've seen clowns riding unicycles that tall, but then they know what they're doing. 🙂

That guy would best be described as a junk yard menace who couldn't get into engineering school.

Did you think I was kidding??! Go ahead, count em up!
It's just not fair that only the military gets to play with all the cool toys!
When fully charged, this amazing bank of 96 power caps will be able
to deliver power levels that rival the electrical company! No joke!


^taken from the site. The guy claims that each capacitor is 625V 6500µF and he has 96 of 'em.

1/2 x 6000E06 x 625^2=1269.6 joules each x 96=121.875KJ. It can probably do some serious peak current, but not that much energy.

Add 'em all together and thats just enough energy to run 1800W hair dryer for 1min 7.7secs

You guys are never satisfied enough with real woman around you and feel the need to find one on the net to drool on huh?

I certainly hope you could do better than that.

I would, but I only have a three and a half inch hard drive. 🙁
