A friend gave me a nice glass sphere, designed as a deep submersible capsule for oceanic research. It’s heavy glass with a ground-glass equatorial mating seam. The label says it’s been tested to some…
A new Jacob’s Ladder electrode set, more bigger, to show off the psarks given off from the flyback in oil. This flyback transformer was removed from the carcass of a big Mitsubishi television set…
I show the effect of added capacitance on the psarks (arcing sparks, tm TKLabs) emitted by the Flyback driven by the ZVS Royer oscillator. I have about a hundred of those 400 pF, 30kV…
More Jacob’s Ladder display at 24 VDC input to the ZVS Royer oscillator driving the Flyback.
The Flyback transformer is driven by a dedicated Royer oscillator Zero Voltage Switching configuration. I used 2 x IRFP260n mosfets, but I also tried IRFP460 which work but get warmer in operation. A few…
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…
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….
