Oh those things are freaking cool. Isn't there a band called Tesla or something that does music with electricity and giant sparks?

Van der graaf generators are fun.

I just really like the way that he can explain this kind of stuff in a way that is fun and understandable.

^^ Meh.. if you need a 50 Gigawatt laser then you pretty much can shoot holes into someone.. rather negates the need to extra hit him with thousands of volts..

I'd hardly call a laser like that non lethal..
