| Capacitor Discharge (Using "Walter") | |
| Description: | A very large capacitor, dubbed "Walter", is discharged across a thin-gauge copper wire. Hilarity ensues. |
| Notes: | Ok, seriously – if you don't know what the hell you're doing, back away from the capacitor now, and find someone who knows what they're doing! Details will be added for those foolish brave enough to try it. |
| Location: | On large bench, around section M. You've been warned. |
| Image: | "Walter", a big-ass capacitor, is charged up with the scary-looking power supply on the left. Note that a wire with large gator clips is used to keep Walter from charging during storage!  |
