DIY High Voltage Thor’s Hammer: Mjolnir at 80,000 Volts

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!

DIY: R2-D2 Bra (with light and sounds!)

Making a homemade bra with cups shaped like R2 domes provided some unique and interesting challenges. I actually made two versions of the R2-D2 Bra, both of which I’m sharing here:

The Easy Duct Tape R2-D2 Bra comprises steps 2 - 9. This version should be easy for even the most non-handy Star Wars fans. I have included printable plans to help make this a quick and easy evening project.

The Ultimate R2-D2 Bra (shown above) comprises steps 10 - 22. This uses the same plans as the duct tape version, but requires much more work to complete. It is challenging but still quite do-able. I added lights and sounds to this version.

And here the video:

Amazing Water & Sound Experiment

The effect that you are seeing can’t be seen with the naked eye. The effect only works through the camera. However, there is a version of the project you can do where the effect would be visible with the naked eye. For that project, you’d have to use a strobe light.

For this project you’ll need:

A powered speaker
Water source
Soft rubber hose
Tone generating software
24 fps camera
Tape.
