Here we can see the change in character of the glow/arc/corona/spark discharges as the pressure in the AnAtmoSphere changes. I cycle the vacuum pump several times while providing a constant voltage to the flyback…
The central spherical electrode is connected to the negative output of the flyback transformer. It becomes like the Sun, which is probably negatively charged because it’s blowing out protons in the solar wind. Maybe….
The central sphere is connected to the Positive output of the flyback transformer, and I’ve placed a grid made from coarse copper screen mesh in between the anode sphere and the cathode ring. The…
More Jacob’s Ladder display at 24 VDC input to the ZVS Royer oscillator driving the Flyback.
The Copper-screen Grid is now electrically connected. I broke the system down and installed another feedthrough in the plastic base. For the feeds I am drilling and tapping a hole in the top plate,…
A slideshow of some individual frames from the video, showing some particularly nice corona streamers and arcs. Watch in HD for the best view! These shots give a completely different perspective on the display…
WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS and FLICKER. Please DO NOT WATCH if you have epilepsy, or other seizure disorder, or are sensitive to flicker or flashing lights. Look away if you feel nauseous! ERRATUM: I forgot…
PLEASE DON’T ATTEMPT THIS PROJECT unless you understand HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY. The voltages developed are LETHAL and can remain stored in the cap bank even when the equipment is not energized. An overview of…
More psarks, annoying the neighbors and frightening the dogs. See the previous video for a description of the apparatus. Thanks for watching !!
I dusted off the SassyClassE sstc for some experimentation, so I thought I’d do a “show and tell” of its components and operation. Erratum: It’s either efficient, or it’s not. At around 8 minutes…
