Man Builds His Own 80,000-Volt Thor's Hammer

May 3, 2013

Wait -- you've got a Portal gun and it's just sitting on the shelf collecting dust? Not cool bro.

Just in time for the release of Iron Man 3 *shrug*, this is a video of Caleb from Hackaday showing off the 80,000-volt Thor hammer he built out of a tesla coil and foam. It can light up light bulbs. My smile? My smile can light up an entire room. So can a fire.

Hit the jump for the video of the defibrillator in action.

Thanks to my pathological liar of a pal Terry, who tried to tell me he's swinging an eight pound man-hammer between his legs even though we both know it's not true because we change in the locker room together after racquetball.

    actually it might.. its only static electricity. it doesn't actually hurt u in anyway.

  • Guess it depends on the convention, but generally it's easier for organizers to say no than for there to be an 'accident' over a clever and VERY cool prop

    That's an awfully big hammer for such a small spark. I think someone's compensating for something...

    He's just trying to make up for being the only brunette Thor.

    Did you just shrug at Iron Man 3? For shame.

  • "It's pretty light" > NOT Thor's hammer

  • tisokan

    Maybe he is Thor and that is why it is light to him.
