Soda Cans Exploding Under the Stress of High Voltage [Video]

True Mad Scientist style, we bring you soda cans being decimated by thousands of volts in a “Thumperâ€.
What is a thumper, you ask? During office hours, it’s a high-voltage testing unit most often used to stress test electric cables. In the off hours, however, the electrical engineering geeks over at The Geek Group like to shove anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of volts through unsuspecting objects to see what happens. In this installation they’re shooting high voltage through a variety of soft drink cans with an end result that sounds and looks like a cannon loaded with Mountain Dew.
