Say hello to the 5,000 volt can crusher
DVICE Atom Feed — ... you might as well build a can crusher out of it, right? That's just what Bob Davis did. Bob stripped the unit down to the supply itself, a huge 100 microfarad capacitor and a (broken) meter. After hooking the thing up to a pumpkin (no effect) and an apple (blown to pieces) he turned his sites on an innocent soda can.The video takes a bit to get going, but it's worth the wait. Just skip to right near the end to get to the good stuff. Bob Davis via GadgetLab

5,000 Volts Is More Than Enough Power To Crush a Soda Can [DIY]
Gizmodo — ... for $100 and did what any sane person would do—he built a can crusher. The first test was caught on tape, and despite issues with a broken meter, the device managed to crush the hell out of that soda can. In fact, it was so powerful that the power transformer shorted out and the diode was "blown to bits". Interesting, but not quite as manly as it could be. I'm waiting to see someone build a crusher that smashes a can flat on a dummy's skull. [Bob Davis via Gadget Lab] ...
