I wouldn't have believed it possible, it's truly an amazing practical
application of theory.  I wish I had the link to the first site that I
saw this on.  That guy used some serious banks of capacitors and could
shrink a US quarter (24.26mm) to be smaller than a dime(17.91mm).  He
was working on doubling the power.

Apparently it makes an incredibly loud noise too when the coil
evaporates.  Combining that with the light show makes it the perfect big
boys toy for entertaining guests at a barbecue.  Don't you all think so
too?  ;-)

have one of these)
