Final amp-related image of the day.  This is a proposal for a public monument titled “Heavy Metal Hara-Kiri”.  Requiring 37,153,522 amps (not the approx. 300 shown here), a guitarist can enter the ring, stand in the middle, and strike his final power chord.  The resulting sound waves will be so loud they will cause instant death.

Also, fog in SketchUp is awesome.

… and a 360-amp circle.  If a standard Marshall speaker cabinet is 30″ wide, then this ring would be 75 yards (227′) across, or roughly 3/4 the length of a football field.  Next step is to place this “temple” on top of some remote mountain in Google Earth.

A fun by-product of my equally-stupid “atomic amps” project: Amp-henge.
