This is a hot dog/sausage/wiener about to be cooked from inside out. Apply 3 kJ from a pulse capacitor charged to 6 kV and the iron wire vaporises with many thousands of amps. The explosive energy is discharged in less than a millisecond.

Exploding stuff is simple and fun. Just put the conductive stuff to be exploded across the capacitor output and it will vaporize (unless it’s a hot dog). The capacitor bank is discharging 5 kJ in to some steel wool for more impressive sparkler effects.

First done for Discovery Channel. It used 10 kJ from the capacitor bank to explode a thin (15 thou) iron wire inside a watermelon.
