Wait -- you've got a Portal gun and it's just sitting on the shelf collecting dust? Not cool bro. Just in time for the release of Iron Man 3 *shrug*, this is a video of Caleb from Hackaday showing off the 80,000-volt Thor hammer he built out of a tesla coil and foam. It can ... / Continue →

Remember that 8.8 Million Volt Shock Mod Ninja Sword built by Youtuber GreekGadgetGuru? Well fellow Youtuber jonathanj9969 built a similar one, and this is a video of him taking one for the team and getting blasted with the thing. First he takes a shock to the stomach, then h... / Continue →
