Good to see him doing well. I think he single-handedly keeps the national grid on their toes.
The most powerful circuit I ever made dealt with 100A continuous and 200A peak at 24V, this guy is is simply on another level I can't even begin to wrap my head around.

The mapping between audio gear and the power grid is pretty close. AC power and audio waveforms are basically the same thing. If you connect a speaker directly to normal mains power, it will operate briefly before burning out. You'll get a very loud 60 or 50 hz test signal depending on where you plug it in. There are some drivers large enough that they can withstand this power level indefinitely. The car audio market has some pretty crazy designs.
There are pro audio amplifiers that are capable of producing >120v RMS at their output terminals. I would be much more interested in seeing a youtuber purchase one of these and attempt to run a bunch of household appliances using it. Blowing up random shit with ridiculous amounts of power got pretty old for me as a form of entertainment.

Just by reading the title I've thought - it must be Photonicinduction! Glad to see that I was correct. True madlad!

He’s alive!!!

This is not really a HN subject, I think - that said, I really love this dude.
Popping up in my subscription-feed after 5 years was a highlight <3
Spoiler: it becomes a compact one-time use railgun.

I seem to remember a few years back this guy made a lot of noise about a "free energy" (ahem) device he'd invented and claimed he was giving the plans to China and Russia as a way of getting back at the UK government for some slight or other, then promptly dropped off the face of the internet in protest(?) I guess he's back.

And it def. IS nerdy :D
Mmmmm, popped it.
Actually only 7MW assuming a 4ohm speaker coil. Impressive but I've seen bigger bangs on youtube with even more energy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC7sNfNuTNU
1.21 GW? Needs a flux capacitor.

5 years since his last vid, to make you feel old.
Popped it
