I had a nasty, soft, soggy rotten onion, so I took it over to the capacitor bank and set it up to see what 50uf at 5.5kV might do to it. The first two shots didn't seem to have good contact and the experiment seemed to be a bust. So, I tried a different electrode and the onion got turned to mush. This was messy and smelly, nothing like the smell of HV through a bad onion! If you liked this, give me a "thumbs up" and why not subscribe for more action, I put up several new videos per week. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed!
