Former student destroys 59 university computers us...
Speaking of power banks, what would happen if you plugged this device directly to one?

Only one way to find out!

most power banks don't have the data lines, and as far as I see this device uses the data lines to destroy the host. So I'll guess nothing would happen.

You could design one which did destruction via the power lines if you wanted to.
That's much harder though because power lines tend to have big-ish capacitors on them.
