Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions
Diabolus writes "This is the tale of a man, a bunch of disposable cameras, and his techniques for harvesting lots of capacitors to build a gauss gun. Insane..." A basic capacitor tutorial is probably in order.
Don't worry, either this guy hasn't brushed up on his metric prefixes lately, or somehow capacitors have become fantastically powerful in the past year. Assuming no alien-technology, it would require a pickup-bed full of these capacitors to even come close to weapons the army currently has.
