Homemade Hammer of THOR Generates 80,000 Volts of Electricity!

GearVideos Thor by Joey Paur

So here's a fun little homemade fan replica of Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir... that can kill you. This guy built the hammer to generate 80,000 volts of heart stopping electricity. It was made by YouTuber hackaday, and I can't help but think that one day this thing is going to seriously hurt someone. I included a video that walks you through the process of making one, but I highly suggest that you don't, especially if you don't want to die.

I wanted Thor's hammer (Mjolnir), but I wasn't going to accept any old boring plastic prop. I needed something with a little more POP. 

I worked with Staci Elaan to build this hammer that has a solid state tesla coil inside. When you push the button, 80,000 volts of electricity arc from the top. 

It will light up any flourescent bulbs around, scare children, and leave the smell of ozone behind. It is super fun! 

When he says it scares children, it makes me think that he's running around chasing after them with the hammer, threatening to strike them down with lightning.
