Cool, I worked on one of the first Alcator Tokamak doughnut fusion reactors in 1976/77 at MIT. They had a 210 ton flywheel they got from the NY subway system and they'd spin that sucker up to about 360 RPM, throw in the fieild winding and dump all the juice into dozens of garbage can-sized capacitors. All the copper buss bar was silver soldered at the connections. Just about everything would jump when they pulsed it.
