In part it is a cool set up
i am surprised he has that ability in power off the battery pack..

However..
He falls more into being a NUT..
That much power and so so close to his head..

I suspect he has been using it to long already..
For it has to have fried too many cells in his head..
For otherwise he would realize how possibly dangerous it is to be using so much power so close to where he is standing..

Oh well..
Still Quite interesting

That's what I was thinking too. Still, it is a very innovative idea and it worked. I give a lot of credit for the ingenuity, simplicity, and concept.

He's definately in the running for the next Darwin award.

I wonder what voltage it runs on. He was using a lithium polymer battery but I still find it hard to believe he has one hour of actually transmit time at 1 Kw. Besides,the power wires didn't look big enough for the current required at 12 volts regardless how short they were.
