I guess lugnet.technic is the most in-line with this project, since it uses
lots of battery boxes & electricity & such.

Most of the story's found at the link (see below), so I won't rehash too much
here.

By using only LEGO parts & not modifying any of them, I created a 108V (12
battery boxes wired in series, 72 AA batteries) sparking machine, called, of
course, Sparky.  I was doing research into an effective weapon for a fighting
LEGO robot & got a little carried away & wanted to see how far I could take it.

Hope you get a kick out of it.

(...) Be careful, AA batteries can generate enough current to kill. A safer way to even higher voltages is to use a transformer. Jürgen (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
