I have been restricted from using any kind of line voltage in any of my "experiments", forcing me to instead stay with 9V batteries. by the end of this year, I want to create a pulse of electricity large enough to vaporize a good sized hole in a nickel. hell, it would be nice if I could vaporize the coin all together.
unfortunately, as i has hjust stated, I only have access to a couple of 9V batteries. I have a large network of capacitors step up in parallel, and a sizable transformer. is it possible to turn a 9V(or a couple of 9Vs) DC into a type of AC that the transformer can operate on?
I am thinking that if i can make the dc into ac, i can step it up to a high voltage, say, 50V-500V, charge up my capacitor network, and and deliver blinding shock that would vaporize my coin. is this possible, or would i just be blowing out my batteries?
also, if i can, could you please show me a schematic of something that turns dc to ac or point me to a site that shows the schematic?
thank you very much in advance
