100,000 amp under water fusing
Added 2025-09-16 15:50:30 +0000 UTCI've been trying to crush a pipe magnetically without melting it in the process, but this has been difficult due to the slow turn on time of the circuit. I tried dunking a pipe in water to buy some time, but as it turns out, the heat transfer is basically zero at these timescales. This failure still made for some spectacular slow mo footage though.
