@Winterrose for what 4000 car batteries would cost, i think there is more i could do with just 2000, and then use the leftover funds to buy copper, SCRs,.... ...and deuterium

@MoTorChaser f/0.95 collects nearly 9 times as much light as f/2.8! getting the focus right is a nightmare though lol. plus these super fast lenses tend to have distortion and other defects. night chasing is still a great use case for them

@MoTorChaser i was shooting with a f/0.95 lens on a sony FX6 at very high ISO. it's not exactly an easy setup to use in the midst of chasing but it is like filming with night vision. my shutter was only 1/60 here too when i should have been shooting 1/30

@Nsaw1G I don't think that alone would have solved the problem. I found that switch still conducted for a while after the plates were blown open, due to all the copper plasma that was made from the explosion. I think the best purely mechanical option would be a fast hydraulic actuator

@DanielleFong @sendcutsend if that's 1" x 0.25" bar then it would last approximately 0.15 seconds carrying the current of my batteries

@DrunkPyromaniac @Jagil10410013 @BorisBartlog i've been meaning to try this! the batteries should heat up quite a bit too.

@DrunkPyromaniac @Jagil10410013 @BorisBartlog I'm not following any codes here lol. For ~1 second shots, the 40 parallel 4/0 copper cables I'm using are more than adequate. Their resistance is quite a bit lower than the batteries themselves.

@IluvIrt @Jagil10410013 @BorisBartlog Cold cranking amps are not interchangeable with short circuit current. A car battery can deliver FAR more current to a dead short on a hot day compared to the CCA test conditions. My batteries have the ability to briefly dump 3600A, but I only pull ~2000A from each one.

@BorisBartlog I was trying to build a switch for 400 car batteries wired together. Once I crossed 100,000 amps or so, an imploding z-pinched plasma would ignite in the switch, which would then detonate and blow the plates apart, giving the unholy oscillator in this clip.

@SkyVelleity That's two 4/0 AWG copper cables in parallel being used as a timed fuse. The bulk of the load was in the switch acting as a molten copper squirt gun
