Isn't that how they get the pops and bangs out of an electric motor?
If you try hard enough, sure.
Long ago my old boss and mentor had the great idea Friday 6pm during beers to put a cap across 415vac.
Mallory cap, 2-3 litres in volume. 15,000uf 150vdc or some such.
Attached with crimped eyelets on the end of a 50m long 6mm squared orange circular three phase cable, one phase and neutral safe with BP connectors and taped back.
56series plug not locked into the socket, but cable did a 180 out the door to the carpark.
Cars all moved out of the car park.
The forces involved were not expected. The explosion was phenomenal. Burning electrolytic on the concrete, zero signs left of the cap beyond’s the terminals. The circular cable is taken into low level orbit, lands half on the roof of the meat storage refrigerated joint next door. Doesn’t pop the 40 amp breaker for that outlet, does pop a fuse out on a pole in the street, taking out a phase for a dozen buildings on a Friday evening. Ooops. Second time we’d popped a fuse on a pole.
Our ears were ringing for 5 minutes.
