I always wanted to see what would happen when an irresistible force meets and immovable object. ~Raithere
run into a wall with a motorbike helmet on, we and some friends tried that a while ago, ill try to get the video
Well I am doing something with capacitors, just to get the project over with. I may need to make another thread w/ questions about capacitors.
A project in which I measure the amps at which the current flows out of select capacitors to determin a relationship between that amount and the size of the capacitor and/or other factors. Think it's do-able?

Do what I always wanted to do... get a circuit board, put some LED lights on it... and make an adding machine. use it to demostrate a simple computer. Read "CODE" by Charles Petzold... a great Mircosoft book. lol. Still good though.
a part elecronics, part pyrotechnics undertaking... build an electromagnetic cannon (look up maglev trains to find out how to set up your launch system). Make the object to be launched with a hollow canister. Pack the canister with explosives (M80s, thermite, something homemade, etc.), top it off with a detonating warhead. Aim at specified target, press red button, enjoy. Be sure to give a live demonstration during the fair.
You don't have to charge capacitors up before they can be effect do you? I mean manufactueres drop caps. onto their circuit boards, solder them and forget about it. On HowStuffWorks, they talk of charging the cap. independtly, first.
i dont s-ee a need to charge it prior to sale, all it emans is that it takes an extra 30seconds after the first startup before it goes
So i get the stuff to try out a generic capacitor experiment. I am already afraid of the thing becuase it's a polarized Electrolytic capcitor and following the diagram off of HowStuffWorks.com it's not working, if I hook it up backwards it could explode. WTF. I hate this science fair bs and when it's over i'm blowing up the entire event. EMP Cannon = get real, I only want things I can acutally do. If I were to entertain that idea I'd be told it's hard to do or too expensive. *goes off searching*
