The first tests of my capacitor bank with an inductive load. At this point the capacitor bank is complete, all internal connections are solid and 100%. The tests in order were: Can crush at 112J Ring launches at 112J, 450J, 700J For most of the tests, I would assume that not all of the power made it into the load since wires continually failed and broke apart/melted. I will need to get heavier gauge wire before I can really push power into a load.
