From Wiki: "They are still constructed for the commissioning of large
diesel generators in remote places, where discarded oil drums and
scaffold tubes typically form the tank and electrodes."
That's some mad scientist stuff right there buddy.

OK, did a 10 amp test, no heat to speak of. (30 volts).
Having a hard time finding a half ohm load at 150 watts.
Used a coil of #16 wire which was too high (impedance) of a load.
Also, putting two Astron power supplies in series.
They don�t play well with each other.
I used to have a coil of nichrome. May need to find that.

No, 7 amp. 30 amps will get the PCB traces a bit hot, perhaps glowing
hot.
I guess I should test one to destruction....

So is that like a 30A fuse you're shipping with it? Or do they
actually make a 5x20mm shorting link?
