750 mm Plasma Tubes and Vacuum Tube Tesla Coil

That electric blue glow is incredibly beautiful

[@1833-j4g]

What a surreal and cool thing to watch! I’ve always been fascinated by the seemingly random motion of those branch-like patterns (like that of a “Weiner-Process”).

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

While random, still very affected by the frequency of the electromagnetic field.

[@douro20]

You could try 13.56 MHz...but you would have to make a suitable load coil for that, and use a linear amplifier to get the right amount of power output.

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

I actually never made a HFSSTC, I think the highest resonant frequency is actually that VTTC at around 300 kHz.

[@douro20]

I was talking about an RF driver for those tubes.

[@mikea3169]

Really looking forward to seeing your upcoming driver build! Those tubes are super nice looking 👍

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

I wish I was building those drivers, time flies.

[@Lovreli]

Wow your setup looks sick these days... Ive been following for many many years. I loved when you just showcased your components during the lockdown. Keep up the great content its extremly helpfull especially when i was getting into the hv world!!

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

Thank you very much for sticking around for so long :)

[@Lovreli]

@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk np man, your vids helped me get to where i am in life currently. Helped alot to have such information when trying to understand these strange concepts

[@xntumrfo9ivrnwf]

Beautiful!

[@Radboud-13]

Verry cool... and funny.....i bought a special burner to blow glas becaus i wanted to try to make these... I can also tell you that you were right.... you can paint the secundaire black... no problem... "Flash" works great... Thanks ;)

But how did Bill Parker create his bright green? Someone said that the secret ingredient was carbon monoxide.

[@WacKEDmaN]

nice!..almost lightsaber-ish!.. ..have you had any disgrunted ham radio guys knocking on your door yet?! ..im sure they love all the RF noise you pump out! :P

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

Most of the RF energy is spent in spark load. As you can see from the tubes, the field does not radiate far.

[@douro20]

The discharge is most likely an excimer discharge, from an excited complex of krypton and iodine.

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

That's super cool 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍

[@JohnWilkinsonTesla]

Awesome

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

Closest thing to holding real plasma swords

[@recipes_of_electronics]

Cool!

[@KlendorChannel]

itu sangat keren pak😍

[@tuopeeks]

See you were carful to avoid direct strikes to the tubes. Lost plenty of smaller tubes to punctures. 🙄

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

I punctured quite a few CFL tubes, not that those thin ones compare to this thick glass, but there is not reason to risk it :)

Красиво! Только не понятно как это можно использовать на практике. Где это явление можно применить кроме как для одноразовых показов публике? Помнится, Тесла предлагал нам кроме показов опытов с электричеством ограниченному кругу любознательных еще и электромоторы переменного тока которые производились сотнями тысяч и двигали промышленность того времени. В общем, многие не проводят подобные опыты потому что не видят в этом практического смысла. А эффектами сейчас никого не удивишь, кино и телевидение давно поглотили эту область интересов.

[@recipes_of_electronics]

Он же сказал в конце где применит их.
