gollark: Lithium batteries can still discharge *pretty* fast, right? Perhaps you could use a lot of those.

gollark: UK electrical systems would let you draw about twice that power (240V/~12A).

gollark: I don't think supercapacitors go that high really.

gollark: You'd need to toast slow enough for the heat to disperse a bit.

gollark: Well, I think at some point you might end up just ablating the surface and not toasting the rest properly.
