Test-Firing Of 2000 Volt Washer Launcher A Success

Bob’s updated his washer launcher. It’s now got 10 capacitors in it, capable of generating enough force to partially crush up to three beer cans or throw a CD way up into the sky above his house.

If you’re not good at paying attention and don’t appreciate a nice, lengthy build up, skip to around the 3:15 mark to see Bob’s machine smashing cans, or to 4:30 to see a CD reach near orbital velocity while making a particularly pleasing noise…

And remember your washer launcher safety protocols, kids – always activate extremely dangerous equipment with the handle of a mop from a very small distance away. [2KV Washer Launcher via Make]
