I found a place nearby to get microwave oven caps in bundles of 10 for $7.50.

Other than this, making a can crusher, disk launcher, or charging them to 5KV and shorting them out through various objects, what can I do with them?

electrothermal gun, pulsed intense light, anything that requires lots of voltage and current.

Yeah I plan to buy as much as I can. Sadly I don't think the have much. I just got an email saying that they tossed out 100 a month ago, but they still have some left. I died a little inside.

Irregardless, I should get at least 15 and a couple of nice MOT's.

The price of the postage for MOT's would sort of contradict the idea of cheap MOT's

You could scavenge for microwaves on freecycle or from garage sales, junk shops, junk yards, and if you are lucky enough, you find them along side of the road during trash days. It will take time though...

Steve Ward managed to shrink some dimes using 18 MOCs. Link2 I tried a to shrink a Norwegian 50-øring, which is largely copper, but with no success. I was able to crush cans however. Link2

Whoops... I didn't see that... I hadn't had my coffee yet...

Yes, but living in a (supposedly) 'Third world' country nothing is wasted over here, everything is repaired over and over again and nothing gets thrown out. frown I have managed to scavenge 2 MOT's so far; 1 from UK, in my stepsisters car (She was going to throw it away! cry ) and 1 from one of my dads colleges...
