+eric hoagland Yeah in this the pulp/meat or "copra" acts as a non permiable barrier like the aluminium liner in those tanks and the fibrious outer layer is similar to the wound reinforcing filament (kevlar cf or gf). Probably if you dipped or pressure cured these coconuts in epoxy or polyester resin they would withstand double the pressure for a short while. Mind you this is superheated steam and that stuff eats organic material quite readily. If these were done with HPA or HPN the pressure could be lot higher and they might withstand it for a longer time....Robinson Crusoe had no excuse for not building an air gun. :)

And yet, when the last LCD rolls of an assembly line in Malaysia or somewhere, the best LCD will still not have beaten the best CRT on a wide variety of important points. A CRT combines very low persistence, near perfect black levels and a wide gamut; OLED may beat it one day, but LCD sure as hell can't touch it. In large sizes they are also surprisingly efficient. (in smaller sizes a lot of energy is lost in the heating of the electron gun etc.)

We have been using many neon sign transformers in parallel.Thank you so much! We love you! You are the greatest! Keep it up!

FINALLY! A practical solution to opening a coconut.

This is absolutely amazing Andy, great to see the original video. and Part 2, explosion 3 was amazing, venting like a pressure cooker under stress, but coconut in the TV. absolute climax. it crossed my mind ( Where is my hammer ! ) not required I will need to source some South Pacific coconuts and try this. better than batteries anytime.

yeah, the juice inside acts as an electrolyte, allowing current to flow between the electrodes. As the liquid heats up from the current it turns to steam, which is what makes it blow. A bigger coconut would have a bigger shell, which could contain more pressure before finally failing in a sudden release of energy (explosion). The part that I find most interesting is that your experiment showed that you didn't want to go above 5 amps. I would have guessed the higher the current, the more heat, and the more quickly the steam builds up, and a quicker explosion. Interesting.
