Slomo arcs, now with inductor!

[@MasterIvo]

Thanks! 2:08 this is what I used for my field propulsion demo (video on my channel). It's a sawtooth wave, with a 40nS discharge of 10kV in my case. You could replicate the experiment if you wish. but use more distance between the plates, your voltage is much higher! Might use this myself to test.

Any over heat on those diodes?

[@gristc]

Not so far, but they are rated for 3A and the transformer will only put out 60mA so they're pretty under-stressed. I also generally run it for 10-20 seconds at a time. Going to hook up a few more transformers and run it for longer this weekend which will be interesting.

hey @@gristc i have DC POWER and it have this thing called "OCP" i can't made my volt go up. is it because "OCP" soo what power supply should i buy?

[@gristc]

@@pro.empire If it's just an old-style copper and iron transformer you can safely remove the 'OCP'. It stands for Open Circuit Protection and is just to cut power to the transformer if it detects that it's not powering anything. Mostly there to save power (money) if the sign it's powering breaks. Newer solid state ones I'm not so sure. The purpose will be the same, but how it accomplishes it might be different.
