40kW X-ray Machine (Huge XRT Arcs, Tube Autopsy, Mods, etc.) Part 2

[@trenthighvoltage]

I forgot to add the chapters/timestamps. Done.

The smell of burnt carpet brings back warm and fuzzy memory’s from the olden days at Photonicinductions channel. Love it!

[@trenthighvoltage]

lol

[@fabriziobrutti1205]

Love it! All the effort you have put into this video is visible and gave some awesome results! All the teardown and explanation parts were really enjoyable, and also the cat moments made their trick!

[@trenthighvoltage]

Ty I appreciate it

[@FireAlarm225]

9:03 bro really put the cat in the cabinet 💀💀😂😂

[@trenthighvoltage]

She got in it herself.

[@HoorGuvLabs]

3:10 "X rays are radioactive and is hazardous" gives the same energy (no pun intended) as "the floor is made out of floor"

[@trenthighvoltage]

Some people don't know the dangers

[@peterjameson321]

Brilliant! A well presented and informative video Trent. Thanks for posting it, I know it takes a lot of effort.

[@trenthighvoltage]

Ty appreciated

[@alliegoebert]

Playing with plasma on carpet in a residential basement. I applaud your commitment to unsafety.

[@trenthighvoltage]

Family room* also I have a fire extinguisher, and carpet doesn't catch on fire and spread immediately. Plus fire/heat only rise in the air, with no wind or air pushing it.

[@TechTed1]

More dangerous is oil transformer 😂than that red resine transformer that exploded you were so lucky guy bro 😊

[@teresashinkansen9402]

Be careful when grinding those tungsten electrodes if they come from china. I purchased some green tip (pure tungsten) for experiments and turned out they actually had thorium in them. I agree fully with you about William Osman, he is stupid and also thanks to him getting an x-ray tube is now harder because sellers no longer sell to individuals as easily. If some day you mess with X-rays a Geiger counter helps and can be used to play with them but just a little, if you wanna get really into experimenting with X-rays get a proper detector, be it a ion chamber or scintillation detector for low energy gammas, they will give you more accurate dose rates than Geiger counters. Subscribed!

[@trenthighvoltage]

I knew some contained thorium. I'll be aware of that, I really should buy a Geiger counter or something for stuff like that, which do you recommend, nothing too pricey? Btw the electrodes weren't from china (or at least China sellers) so idk

[@ThisCaptainLilDude]

6:57 actually, this is 300hz

[@zilipoper]

hi awesome tank transformer. Shouldn’t it work normally at 7 kHz and not break through?

[@trenthighvoltage]

Ayy zilipoper! Yeah it would probably work at 7khz but that's way too high. This was off an amx4 portable machine, driven by an SCR resonance driver (1991 machine) at like 500-1000Hz. You can see the part 1 video where i explain about it. If I go higher than 1-2kHz I may risk killing the xrt simply from capacitive coupling.

[@zilipoper]

@@trenthighvoltage then it is better not to exceed the frequency more than 2 kHz; the transformer is cool

[@trenthighvoltage]

@@zilipoper Not to mention, there will probably be more hysteresis losses, even though it's an amorphous core. If you drive any transformers at much higher frequency than they're designed to run (say MOT at over 400Hz+ it'll have some losses, losing power).

[@PhxSt0rmz]

I litearlly have that same large xray transformer..internals look exactly the same, lots of oil. I bought like 30ft of xray transformer wire from a china company and bought brandnew terminals that plug into it, because I wanted longer leads. They run at 1khz..so been working on creating a 1khz inverter for mine..fun stuff! haaha

[@trenthighvoltage]

Nice lol, amx4 or amx4+? What year of the xrt?

[@PhxSt0rmz]

@breezetixhv Just says AMX 4 XFMR, September 1994, 46-27095461. Looks to be exactly the same as yours yep yep!

[@trenthighvoltage]

@@PhxSt0rmz 1991 here, amx4

[@roentgen226]

Another great piece!

[@trenthighvoltage]

:)

[@zaprodk]

X-rays are not radioactive. Just FYI :)

[@marciobadin1892]

Fascinating your videos, I have an X-ray transformer, tank, bought in a ducars, works with 220V, 60Hz, 150KV, I'm encouraging myself to turn it on.

[@trenthighvoltage]

Just be careful and keep a safety gap of at least 15-20cm max, MAYBE 25. No more than that open circuit. With sharp points to help jump arcs further at lower voltage

[@inductivelycoupledplasma6207]

Thanks for pointing out the hazards od x rays. William osman isnr stupid in general, and i like his videos, but rhe x ray vid wasn't great. Its not like he gave himself a substantial dose, but he didnt give enough warning comcernung the high dose rates produced by x ray tubes. Dose rates around a billion times higher than dose produced by a radium watch, or similar, common radioactive items. Btw, if you ever do use the tube, don't just buy rhe crappiest GM counter you can find. X ray dosimetry is difficult, given the high intensities, low photon energy, and sometimes also due to the waveform the tube is fed. A tube running self rectified on 50Hz (essentially running half wave 50Hz) will be much harder to measure then one running CW.

[@canadianguy7875]

Does anyone else see the green ionized air coming from the wall outlet at 6:24?

[@trenthighvoltage]

which wall outlet? also that's just from the arc when the electrode is melting and bright

[@HoorGuvLabs]

That's just the camera being funky

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

Awesome video, I love that transformer, 👍👍👍👍

[@trenthighvoltage]

Thanks 👍

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

@@trenthighvoltage I forgot to say the X ray tube is so cool, could you try to power on the filament only (so no HV, no dangerous x-rays) I think that the glow in the dark would be amazing!!!

[@trenthighvoltage]

@Alexelectricalengineering I can try

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

@@trenthighvoltage that would be amazing, thanks 👍

[@B.Cote39]

Hey man check out old man builds they building a graviflyer , they could use a man of your skills ! Amazing work man! Try not to koll yourself jesus hahaha !

[@VariacManiac]

I like these.

[@trenthighvoltage]

thanks

[@picanazo420]

nice new video

[@trenthighvoltage]

Thanks

[@inductivelycoupledplasma6207]

The tube is looking lovely

[@trenthighvoltage]

it is

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

that not 500hz dude that's a 1khz

[@VariacManiac]

It hz his ears

[@trenthighvoltage]

lol

[@DeezNutz-ce5se]

Hey how do you drive this trannie?

[@trenthighvoltage]

Igbt driver

[@Tsindur]

​@@trenthighvoltage you missed the opportunity to say lgbt driver...

[@trenthighvoltage]

@@Tsindur lol it looks almost the exact same anyway haha

[@quantumleap359]

That Xray tube is a beauty. Those arcs are something! I think you are going to be our new Photonicinduction!! Be careful and keep on making these cool videos.

[@trenthighvoltage]

I will try. Thanks

[@storbytronics]

Hi breezetix! Cool vid!
