Bank was charged to 3.3kj (1360v). Coil was the same dual layer parallel design used for the RingRocket in my other thread.

Rofl, Rotfl!! that was indeed incredible

It seems that inertia saved the part of egg, altough most logical prediction would be that it just gets pulverized completly.
After that disc sucks the yolk away forming a cone

PS. what camera did you use, slowed-down shoot looks really nice...

I'm still laughing over this...

This was my standard 16 cap electrolytic bank (3.5kj total, 1400v, 3600uf). I had it charged to 1360v.

Camera was a Canon GL2, 3-CCD MiniDV camcorder with optical stabilizer.

To do the slow shot I simply deinterlaced the video and slowed it to 10%.

Here's my launcher setup: Picture
