 ==== Project: Design a Defib ====
-Your team was able to shut down the hawkion accelerator before it could blow itself up, and possibly take Lakeview with it.  But the beam dump that absorbed the hawkions is now highly radioactive.  You need to put shielding around it before anyone receives too high of a dose, but no one can go near it.

-Solomon Tobb, the ingenious intern, suggests using I.A.N.  He explains that I.A.N. is an Intelligent Artificial eNtity, a robot, and his systems should withstand the radiation long enough to put the shielding in place.  Unfortunately, you used both his primary and backup batteries for emergency power to the accelerator, so his systems are completely shut down.

-Melissa Lewis, the team leader, mentioned that in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-vXydxLZMk|training video]] she saw back in the 80's call "Short Circuit 2" a model like I.A.N. was brought back to life using a defibrillator.

 There's no defibrillator at FTOE, but using your knowledge of electromagnetism, you know you can create a makeshift piece of equipment to be able to restart I.A.N.  You run to the laboratory stock room, and manage to find several sheets of aluminum, various paper sheets, some electrical tape and wires, and a pair of all-purpose scissors.
-Your device must be able to deliver a rapid jolt of 360 J to I.A.N. in order to restart him. Can you put something together to get him working and save the day?
+The paper sheets are 0.5 m wide, 2 m in length, and vary in thickness (2 mm, 1 mm, 500 μm, 50 μm, 1 μm, 0.5 μm). The aluminum sheets are 0.80 m in length, 0.5 m wide, and 0.3 mm in thickness. The stock room also has a high voltage power supply of 30 kV.  Your device must be able to deliver a rapid jolt of 360 J to I.A.N. in order to restart him.
