Its Electric!

I have been waiting for some new capacitors to come in from China. On Tuesday I got a note in my mailbox saying they are ready for me to pick up from the post office! I went there promptly after work on Wednesday only realizing too late that they were not open. However it was a good day to be a Veteran, I work with a few people who have served and they were happy for the "Happy Veterans Day" that I gave them. I just wish I had put two and two together better and realized I would not be able to get my long awaited parts.

However I did get them today and got to try something that I have wanted to try since many weeks ago when I burned out my last capacitors. Electric food. I had put an apple on there a while ago with great results. I did want to try anything else food, fruit or vegetable related that I could. And with out further ado here is what I ended up with.














I took all of these pictures on a 4 second exposure time to get the best shot. It looks even cooler in person. You might have noticed that anything too small cant absorb all of the electricity and it comes out all over the top of the coil. Also some things I tried were much too big and just held in all the current. Either way there is a fine balance and once you find something that works really well, its spectacular. The pictures are cool, but if you want to see the real thing just ask and I will be more then happy to show it off.
Make sure to click on the pictures, its well worth it.
