    I love the quote "The capacitor bank is currently disassembled..."
    Sounds like a guy I knew who calimed to have built a nuclear powered motorcycle, but then, when we asked to see it said "Well, I took it apart"
    
    There are PLENTY of real maker projects you could post about, how about some of them?
