- Yeah, there's a reason  for that, though. - Yeah.

because it's very dangerous. I don't know enough about it.

Kills you, moves a third of the speed of light.

- You don't see it coming. - Burns you, stops your heart.

It's just ridiculous, so I didn't really want to touch it.

How do you gather enough electricity to power this?

There's a big generator that is taking 240 volts AC

from the mains, steps it up to about 15,000 volts.

And that 15,000 volts comes through those cables

and into the machine, and it gets stepped up to a million volts.

- A million volts? - Nice round number,  though, isn't it?

Not million and one, just a million, right?

So, uh, you gonna show us some things that you can do,

and we'll see if we can get it in super slow motion.

and I think, as far as I know, I'm the first person

to wear a metal suit and get next to a big Tesla coil.

We're gonna do something that we don't usually do,

in its, you know, individual image exposure,

and we're only gonna be at like 768 frames a second.

as opposed to the actual travel of electricity,

which we'll never see using these cameras.

- Electricity's so fast,  that it's just-- - It's damn fast.

So if any of us were just to stand there right now...

- ( machine whirring louder ) - Dan: It's scary  as it's charging up.

Literally looks like powers in a video game.

- It's like a Big Daddy  with plasmids. - It really is.

Dan: I'm noticing  around the electricity,

is that heat waves  that's coming out of it?

Dr. Megavolt: Yeah, there's a--  you can see a little  shimmering above it.

Gav: So he's got staples  riddling that plank.

Dan: So the electricity  hits the staples--

- Gav: Yeah, nice  and evenly spaced.  - Dan: 'Cause then it heats up,

And then the embers just come out of there.

Dr. Megavolt:  Yeah, we discovered that  by accident.

We picked up a piece of wood  that was used in a scenery,

from where the canvas  had been stapled in.

- Dan: That looks evil!  - Dr. Megavolt: Yeah.

You know in a videogame when you enchant a weapon,

Do you live in your mom's basement and listen to Rush?

Look, all right, we can't all live in an underground lair.

dance around on the surface  of the sphere.

Gav: Yeah, it hugs the front  of the ball, doesn't it?
