the Z-pinch in the copper plates is one of the most bonkers things I've ever seen.

I feel like we should get IXYS or Infineon to sponsor him, and get some of their engineers to develop a parallel SCR or IGBT driver that can actually handle the load. hard to imagine a more effective way to demonstrate a product's robustness than that.

"hey man, here's an IBC container full of mineral oil and IGBTs. enjoy!"
