Electricity experiments

[JackScott]

inflater, you are completely insane. Why not make a version that uses a 9V battery, like most people do?

[inflater]

Most people use this and that. I don't follow the crowd, heh heh heh

Thanks for the compliment though. Why bother with astable oscillators and transformers when you can do it the nice and simple way?
Let's see... a sausage cooker, simple ATX PSU modding, transistor flyback driver, avalanche sawtooth wave generator and a 230V shocker/diode tester/whatever. Do you still think I don't have the required knowledge? Where are your hospitals now?

Upcoming projects:
1. 24kV AC flyback driver with 555+MOSFET or KD502 transistor. Usable for a plasma ball, or as a weaker RTG (X-ray) source with DY86 vacuum tube rectifier, when combined with flyback cascade found in old color TV's (50kV on output, woot.).
2. 4000V 2A (8000 watts/voltamperes) high voltage power supply + Jacobs ladder and a medium sized Tesla coil
3. 555 square wave generator 70-5000Hz on a PCB
4. Alkaline battery charger (one-shot for one battery only.)
5. ???

I've got a fifth project for you:
5. tunable electrolaser ("stun" and "kill" settings, if you will)

Could you please try something more simpler to build?

Oh, and another thing about the shocker: even if you wire it right, some phony cheap-o extension cords (especially those made in China) *may* have the phase in the right hole and neutral in the left. So if you want to be absolutely sure, replace the neutral wire (in the scheme) by the PEN (ground) wire. Or else you may light up like a Christmas tree, do breakdance and scat way more faster than John Scatman would... in one.

That's a good song. RIP Scatman.

What's so hard about creating a plasma channel in air and then sending a taser-esque current down it?

I had quite a few epic dreams last night, one involved my programming lecturer on our last day of the year bring in a EMP gun he made.

Confirmed, the next project will be the 4000V supply

This is how it should work, for those you never saw a two MOT supply before (the videos are not by me):

Mine version will be unballasted (maximum current to s/c on the secondary side would be approx. two amperes), and I will also add two microwave capacitors in series to maximize the length of the spark, so it will be a bit longer than those you see in the videos - if it will work.

I just finished the casing for the high voltage supply and have everything I need, well to be fair I just learned how to drill screws properly so the upper casing has holes like from a machine gun vs. tactical shield...

And not to mention this is way more dangerous than the flyback driver, but you can power larger Tesla coils with this, or do a decent Jacob's ladder (search youtube for the flyback jacob's and you'll see the difference). And it seems to melt copper pretty quick.

Everything I need to do now is just clean the cage a bit and a little soldering job + positioning the caps and transformers into the cage (I'll leave it for later though). And the courage to turn on that damn electric chair... not to mention to use a PVC pipe and the good ol' STAND WELL BACK!

Hi,
Inflater , I have supported you in the past , please be careful with your experiments . I would suggest you to build a computer simulation instead of making a real one , coz thats less dangerous and more challenging .

1."Fáza" means phase, hot wire and "nula" means the zero-wire (neutral). I recommend using PEN (ground pin) instead of the zero.

Oh you great master of electricity, would you bother to explain to us mere mortals as to why you recommend this?

Do you still think I don't have the required knowledge?

Perhaps not the knowledge, but the brains to act on it, or at least the responsibility not to spread dangerous "recommendations" far and wide as if anyone adhering to basic security protocolls is some kind of coward.

I've put up with the drivel you tossed at me on YouTube, but - even while I'm not a moderator here - I consider this forum as a place I feel somewhat responsible for, and I just about had enough of your "electricity leetness" here.
