I'd heard of cold plasma, but that was it, I never knew it could be a real thing

[@ChiralSymmetry]

I was, briefly, a grad student in physics, and did some research in a low temperature lab (stuff like liquid helium research). Anyways, I was told bluntly and wisely, that my first five attempts at an experiment would fail. Because what we were doing was unknown (not only to us, but to anyone in the world), with no road-map. So we didn't even know how things could or would fail. So no matter how carefully you designed and built the first five versions, you would fail due to some unforeseen problems. The problems might be trivial, or they might be deep and complicated. Therefore, it was important *not* to spend too much time carefully designing and building the first several tries; that would be a waste of time and effort. Only after five tries, would you have learned enough to know what you're doing. Then, it would be good to design and build carefully. At first, that was a difficult lesson for me. In other words: (1) Fail fast, fail smart. (ie: fail efficiently: that means quickly, and learning as much as possible per failure.) (2) Learn from failure, several times. (3) Then carefully design and build.

[@corpstilldeath6744]

How exactly do you fail? How do you go about doing that intelligently?,

[@ChiralSymmetry]

A very good question! I don't think there are any easy answers. And probably depends greatly on what area you're working in. But I think I would say that you should study what other people have done. Maybe some people have worked on areas related to what you are doing. Understand those things, without limiting yourself to what they did. Maybe understand how what they did would be helpful, or would fail. Also, sometimes talk to people outside of your area. Something they do might give you a new idea. Or, they could have a very different and fresh perspective on what you're doing.

Plasma is indeed used for a variety of things in the semiconductor industry. I believe the process most similar to what you mean is a simple plasma clean. It's not a cold plasma but typically an argon plasma that physically cleans the surface by the bombardment of ions. A more aggressive clean uses oxygen plasma which will react with any organics on the surface, turning them into CO2 and H2O

I really dig this video. In case you were curios, a CRT's flyback transformer is used to control the horizontal sweep of the electron beam. It basically takes in pulsed DC and spits out a sawtooth signal that never crosses 0v.

[@devrim-oguz]

Flyback transformers have high voltage diodes in them for rectification, because CRT TVs require polarized electric fields. That is why they act "weird".

[@jameswyatt1304]

Yep, they're charging a large capacitor for the electron gun to fire at the phosphor. Also, DC allows a build-up of charge over time more than HF AC can, so a small current can charge a HV storage w/o everything having to be so beefy/costly/bulky.

Also on the ones I have came even from recent TV the recent cr-mo more recent CRT TVs the AC ones are actually a bit smaller and are said to be able to produce a lot more beneficial variances but I've yet to experiment with all the possibilitys, let alone therorys. I rebuilt one would definitely be the way to go for anybody interested and using flybacks in their project so they don't have to use the fix diodes and the fix capacitor you can use them additionally added on to your own needs which makes it a lot more versatile Imo. you can always depot one with the diodes in there in the capacitor and Rewind it to your own needs just a Crock-Pot with some sand and it until the epoxy starts getting loose enough to crack away gently I've seen homemade ones make my 3 Series fly back Tower look like an arc lighter.

Cold to the touch, yet melts metal. That would be cool.

[@solidagold115]

How would that work exactly? It's cold because of it's low energy level, right? If I understood correctlyt the intention is that it can destroy MOs.

[@FFuckYouTube]

idk the specifics but i have a few water torches, of varying complexity as to the the separation, scrubbing/drying and delivery from the cells as well as in the design of torch burners; and most configurations result in a flame that will cut metal but so far in my most gracefully clumsy mishandling hasnt burned my skin or clothing or furniture, and rarely it burns paper if i let it stay in flame too long. in the same conditions but with conventional gas (propane or MAPP) cylinder as fuel i have accidentally burned many things and acquired many scars. my best guess would be that its an effect kinda similar to induction cooking but focused to a pencil tip, with some extra jazz about poteintial held in the flame and theres probably a good amount of charge in the in the fuel and some small amount of liquid droplets with dissolved KOH. i never really thought about it and now am curious as to the actual reason from someone who knows.

[@haivhan506]

It exists, some metals melt at very low heat, sometimes lower than the wax.

[@dexterdequoitdikkentheworl87]

that would be browns gas...water molecules where the hydroxyl di hydrogen has been dissociated,leaving 2h+o...this results in a plasma that,when combusted,cuts metal but doesnt burn skin...

YOUR MAKING A LIGHT SABOR YOU GENIUS

[@anubis63000jd]

The world needs people doing things like this.

[@wkruse84]

It's been done before, probably. There was a guy named Stanley Meyer who had a device that used a "capacitor" to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen for fuel in a car and he drove it around the country and they even showed him on the news. It sounded like it harnessed a similar technology to the one this guy is demonstrating. Anyways, Mr. Meyer died at a Cracker Barrel with his last words being, "They poisoned me." Despite scientists at the time acknowledging it did the impossible, the history books call him a fraud. If we aren't buying our energy from somewhere then that technology doesn't exist or is impossible. We live in a world where America invades countries that don't sell their oil for the US dollar, so yeah, we definitely need something like this.

[@anubis63000jd]

​@@wkruse84 Being done before is a good thing. Concept is proven. Then various designs and unique applications follow. That's progress. More people need to be involved in that process. That's all I meant.

Awesome project I love the thousands of applications it could have quick question isn't it possible that it is the UV light that destroys the bacteria eccentric cetera because like at water treatment plants and other applications UV light is used to sterilize stuff just curious and if it is the ions and uv combination man ramp this technology up to a bigger thing and you could be sterilizing all kinds of things

I heard him say that the cold plasma torch "rips organisms to shreds" so I scrolled down to the comments to first, check if anyone had made a joke about it killing the Corona virus, and then ultimately make it myself. But, when I scrolled back up to the video, I so happened to pause it at 1:36 and and noticed what it said in the first sentence of the first paragraph, and the second to last word in the index terms directly underneath. Kinda spooky, eh?

I love how it's so easy to spot highly intelligent people just by listening/watching them doing stuff, even in area you know shit all about. You just keep on learning from their experience, keep track of how many variables and interactions/dependencies between them there are, and if you look at the final image (graph visualization in your mind), you're like "WOAH. this guy learned and understood FUCKIN LOT about tis topic, in a year. He's one of the actually very smart ones." This is the first (and maybe the last, but hopefully not) video I've seen from you. Subscribing with a bell, right now. AWESOME. (Also, yeah, root info - cold plasma exists. the thing that 20 years ago was just a semi-silly sci-fi thing, actually exists. Thanks for that piece of info :) )
