400 car batteries wired together!!

YouTube
@gsuberland a feature-length video including amazing effects and unexpected twists. It was a thing of beauty
@gsuberland I never before realized how much physics abhors switching 100 kiloamps
@gsuberland "I dunno just put two plates together". Physics: "YOU THOUGHT"
@ferrix I wanna see someone build a solid state version (assuming he hasn't; I've not finished watching yet)
@ferrix a huge bank of IGBTs would probably do it, with some active circuitry to balance the gate drives, but I bet there are a ton of demons to chase down.
@gsuberland @ferrix you'll need undividual gate drivers. What need to be tuned is possibly the timing of the driving pulses.
@f4grx @gsuberland @ferrix
He'd be making his own krytron switch next.
What could possibly be wrong with doing that on YouTube?
