High voltage capacitor bank (more than 2kV and 10A)

WARNING: The experiments shown in this video involve high voltages and currents. These voltages and currents can be potentially dangerous for all living things. Be sure to always take the right precautions and wear appropriate safety equipment like goggles, gloves and ear protection.

The 'Boom box' is made out of 3 disposable camera's (you can use more than 3). I used the charge circuit from one camera and the capacitors from all 3 camera's and put them in parallel. Then I added a switch between the battaries and the charge circuit, a switch on the charge circuit itself to start charging the capacitors, and a switch after the capacitors to release the charge in one go (but I cannot recommend this to anybody because the switch welds itself together and gets stuck in one position. you would have to chose an appropriate switch that can handle the power). The 'Boom box' generates more than 2kV (max voltage my multimeter could read) and around 10 amps of current (biggest fuse it could blow with the thing).
