Sup /sci/.

Found this video of a guy exploding watermelons with electricity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rhQUJRhY0Q

He won't divulge the exact details of how he's doing it, but I did find an article that claims all he is doing is passing 10,000 volts through them. Is this possible?

Sure it is. Watermelons are mostly water right? Pass a strong electric current through the water to heat it and it makes a steam explosion.
Where he is getting that many volts with what is undoubtedly a fuckton of amperage is beyond me.

Where can you buy a capacitor that big, what are they used for, and how much are they? I'm getting one :P.
That's a frightening amount of energy being dumped.

lol the voltage matters more than the amperage, what a bunch of noobs
