We've all watched a super hero movie and thought to ourselves how cool it would be to own all the gadgets and weapons the various caped crusaders use to fight bad guys. Some people leave the theater, go home, and attempt to build the weapons from the movie. Caleb Kraft is one of those people. 

Kraft decided to hone in on one of the coolest weapons in the Marvel universe: Thor's Mjölnir (or a huge hammer for those who've never seen Thor). Kraft's version can't summon lightening or transport people to another dimension, but, thanks to an 80,000-volt Tesla coil, it can prentend as if it can do so. 

Check out the video below to see Kraft in full Asgardian dress discussing how the Mjölnir was made.
