I made a Frankenstein dynamo with the magnetic rotor from a small washer drain pump a shaded poles core, removes the cogging the gapped pump core produces, that runs into a 150cc regulator and on to the battery. Its not bad, little effort to turn it to power that system

Im fascinated with spark driven contraptions . Solid state is boring, i cant really probe and feel the goings on. How the hek has KZbin completely hidden your videos from me for a decade? Greetings from 🇿🇦

Dude ur talking with a glub of shit in ur mouth I ant hear a word ur saying

good video

Great presentation, thank you.

How is Mr Sparky in2024.

You may want to consider having a 1/4" patch jack instead of switches. That way they can each be plugged into a mux module which could then be connected to any number of effects. 3mm or 8th inch would work too.

I've built loads of these to control the animation of LED based signage. Well done! I may actually be able to simplify the circuit for you a bit. If you use the CD4017 to switch MOSFETs which will bring the ground to the column you want active in the sequencer this negates the need for an AND gate.

As for the RF ground bit, a fairly cheap 5/8” x 6’-8’ ground rod from the hardware store is all you need. Hammer it all the way in the ground leaving about 1-2” sticking up and connect all your RF grounds to it. Done.

I have an old cable that is not plugged. They seem to be rare though.

Nice job, as new again!

Are we picking up lazing artifacts from the spark gap on the right? It’s obviously not emp and I don’t think it’s lens glare(maybe from the intense UV.

I love the physical examples and your style of explanation. I feel like so many others on the same topic are just regurgitating information as part of a recipe. While you are teaching from your true understanding on fields and forces. Excellent stuff sir! I can’t believe it took me so many years to find you. I am glad I’m finally here. Cheers!

it's called a PHILLIPS screwdriver

Wow! That is a big matrix! Don't forget decoupling capacitors for the power lines, there is probably significant inductance on them.

Thanks for sharing. The knowledge will be passed forward.

I've actually made something similar with a 4017 and a 555 timer. I made something of a loading gif in a wearable button. The DP led was the bit that was behind the "Loading" part which would of course flash on and off half way through the cycle. I'd completely forgotten about the decatron. What you've done here is brilliant though.

I did a test with a CRT TV a while back. ran it at 230V ac, and switched it over to 230V dc supplied by two 115 volts chargers in series. Not a problem at all for the TV.

I thought that most of these Akai Reel to reels also changed the drive belt via the mechanical lever of that switch for 50 or 60 Hz.

Good video, I have done that rotation change in the past as well. Best thing is that these motors are freely available from the side of the road, from discarded microwave ovens.

Cool

really liked the explanation

Thanks for this video. . . I have been searching the internet for a solution for slotting the ends of antenna elements that "slip fit" together. I prefer to use stainless hose clamps rather than rivets so element length adjustments can be easily made. Your method will provide a consistent, professional-looking result. For my specific need, I will use a thinner cutting blade.

Does this also apply to microstepping a motor? I.e. reversing polarity on one coil will just reverse the direction?

Thanks so much for this! I'm making travel boxes for large displays and this is perfect.

hope you are still kicking, very nice job

Buy those stick-on door cabinet felt pieces to raise it up, they're really cheap & should find them at local hardware stores.

Could definitely use one of those for CCTV, thanks for information 👍

Thinking outside the box , that's very cool,not what I was looking for for my project but still I'd never thought of doing it that way

I’ve cut a fair amount of aluminium with a good mitre saw with a 96t blade. I have had incidents though especially when I couldn’t clamp both sides of the cut. On two occasions the off cut end has been caught by a tooth and flown off at very high speed. Since then I’ve sacrificed some timber to cut through to act as a buffer. Cutting ali with circular saws needs a lot of thought and care.

I have no problem understanding his whole presentation. Perhaps the problem was in the computer's audio for those guys complaining the audio. This gentleman presented a beautiful experiment, talking about the kicks that makes a bigger system continue to run. I appreciate Sparky for a beautiful presentation. Thank you for sharing. This presentation helped me for a project I have been working on for years; based on Tesla's experiment. Just to let you know I spent over 15000 dollars on my lab equipment and have a device that produces 7.5KW of power. Amazing stuff. Agan thank you Sparky. keep uo the good work and sharing. I liked your video.

That's interesting, thanks for making this 👍

Looks more like a b than a b+.

that's really cool, thank you for sharing this!

The infinity mirror is the thickness of the bulb envelope. There's a mirror on the inside of the glass with holes in it, and then a mirror coating on the outside of the glass.

I glad you did make this video, thank you

🎉🎉🎉

Thanks!!

Yea those are neat battery packs, like a powerbank but is a 3S instead of 1S. very simplistic in design.

Sir, thank you.

Very cool.

Nice informative video!, God bless and greetings from the Netherlands!!!

That is a bad demonstration of a Tesla's coil. To see a real world demonstration of what Tesla meant by using a 1/4 wavelength to drive the generator with see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYKTdHquhK-Gaqs And to see it explaining his 3 6 and 9, watch the video that KZbin/Google has blacklisted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjGmIZ4rbCCbas

Haha love it!

Thank you very much, great master. You took us to the past, to the days when we made art.In DMS switchboards, we used to sew subscriber lines to cable racks for weeks. Little fingers of both hands would be injured, but when we look back at the end of the work, we would be proud. I'm still in the telecom industry, but that old quality is gone, unfortunately.

If the power units aren't that expensive and can be programmed that would be brilliant. I'd rather like to make a BMS out of those. That way it's not reliant on running current through the other cells instead of charging the cells/banks themselves. I know BMS units work. I don't think it's a very efficient way to go about charging them right the way up. If it works out a person could charge any number of cells or banks at much higher current. I have a 10p3s battery that I built as a reliable replacement for my portable power station as it's enough to run a 400w load at 120vac without overheating. It lasts about 3 hours at that load level. As it's a 1000 watt inverter it has no trouble at all with the load and works a treat. With only a laptop plugged in it's good for about 7½ hours of runtime before it needs charging again. I've installed a few car power ports for mobile phone chargers and a car audio amplifier with speakers for a bit of entertainment. Add a car stereo head and you get a right good camping radio and music system that can change your mobile while you listen to whatever you like. The stereo head has Bluetooth and auxiliary inputs for audio as well as a USB jack to facilitate the use of a thumb drive with MP3s on it or any other format for that matter. You can even watch DVD or Blu-ray movies on some units. With the inverter you can hook any television to it and it turns into a theater in the woodlands. Since the newer LED TV's are such a low power draw on the system you can quite literally watch a film every night for a week. More if you take a mobile solar panel along. The hardest part was sourcing that many old laptop batteries that were in good enough nick to do the job as it took ages to get workable cells. Cheers for the content mate as it's quite enjoyable and I'm likely to watch the rest when I have the chance to sit for awhile.

Great video. But probably cannot use for small wire Guage

Very nice!

I prefer to use my air compressor to blow out my dusty electronics. Less risk of introducing any static electricity.
