Hello World

The microwave oven transformer is possibly one of the simplest methods of making some big high voltage arcs, mainly because they are robust, cheap, and easy to hook up.[img]../storage/fragment_images/79114536969562370_d47432c45ed03f967dbf1445f547852c.jpg[

A "ZVS driver" is a self resonant oscillator; a very simple circuit that can oscillate a large amount of power with little loss. It is normally used for making the sine wave needed for driving high frequency transformers such as those found in L

[t]What is it and How does it work?[/t]Why, an air cored resonant transformer that shoots lightning of course! What is that, you ask? The most important part is resonance. Resonance is like pushing a swing. If you were to push the swing at a random time i

Before small #cockroft-walton multipliers became inexpensive x-ray machines used to use large iron transformers. These things are the highest voltage transformers you'll likely ever come across, turning 120V (or 240V in euroland) into 50,000V, 75,000

After witnessing the image of a mosquito magnified in a laser beam outside I decided to investigate the phenomenon further. I started by locating scuzzy water. Ponds lacking, I decided to take water out of the bowl of my 6 year old spider plant. I then pr

Never put an electrolytic capacitor in backwards. [youtube]3b7mjukhTyQ[/youtube][t]Why it happens[/t]Electrolytic capacitors are constructed using an electrolyte-soaked piece of paper between two strips of aluminum foil. One piece of foil is oxidized

Also referred to a Line Output Transformer, the flyback transformer is a high frequency, high voltage transformer most often used to power cathode ray tubes. Flybacks are capable of generating some decently high voltages, typically anywhere from 10 to 35k

I have received many questions about how exactly my reactor operates so here is a post explaining it. The inertial electrostatic confinement fusion reactor is a device that uses electrostatic fields to accelerate and confine a deuterium plasma to a c

Ladies and gentlemen of teh internetz, I present to you a marvelous device that will revitalize your health and bring wondrous wealth and prosperity to your families and all future generations. Straight from Nikolai Tesla's labs I bring you a fantast
