Reminds me of an article in Popular Electronics half a century ago. It announced a new 1000-watt (or was it 10kW?) transistor with a photo showing a TO-3 style case alongside a wrench that looked tiny by comparison. Probably the April issue.
That's crazy, but the guy probably enjoyed it. The FR4 adds a huge thermal resistance. And those dinky leads and traces won't be happy at

1000 amps peak, 1000 watts, 75 volts.

Someone finally found a use for a 555.
