This good example of Thor ’s malleus Mjolnir ca n’t quite summon the lightning — but it can do the next best thing , pump out massive voltage . Over atHackaday , Caleb Kraft explains how he built the Thunder God ’s mallet .

Kraftwrites :

She was happy to be call for and delivered a small 12v powered coil for me to work with .

you could see a long ton of photos of the process over at Hackaday , including the HV coil and the RF inverter , and how they meet into the small space afford by the mallet . But here ’s a not bad “ devising of ” video :
