The Cage of Death
At today's CES, a Tesla coil from the Stanford linear accelerator is used to repeatedly zap ioSafe’s Thunderbot Rugged portable prototype with a million volts of electricity.
Engadget reporter Terrence O'Brien can be heard in the background saying, "So, now we're in the cage of death."
Founded in 2005, ioSafe calls its products "disaster-proof hardware," likening them to the little black boxes in airplanes.
Although this particular product wasn't black when it when into "the cage of death," O'Brien tells us at the end of the video that the device that was tested had to pried open on its way out. Although it survived, it was certainly worse for the ware.
