This is a bit off topic, but I hope you guys won't mind too much. Does anybody
have any ideas as to what I can do with several hundred 350v, 160 uF
electrolytic capacitors? I got them from a bunch of disposable flash cameras.
Each one stores nearly 10 joules, a signifcant amount of energy. Theoretically,
100 of these will send a paper clip at Mach 4! I'd really like to build a
coilgun or railgun; anybody think this is viable? Any other ideas?
