When something is nearly impossible to do, people often say that it’s like “catching lightning in a bottle.” For the members of the dielectrics lab at GE Global Research, it posed an unimpossible challenge.

They then used the stored charge to start an old Fiat 600 and drive off into the sunset.For more Unimpossible Missions, head over to GE’s YouTube channel. -- source link
