High voltage fun

Sally came home from school moaning about how they aren't allowed to do any 'dangerous' stuff.
So we did some safe but painful stuff. :)

And holing onto the metal base of the florescent.... Nice one. Just don't get it near the project awesome control boards. ;-)

Hope no one needed to use any analog telecommunications equipment close by... :-). ... that’s looks like fun!

Oooh! Spark-gap not solid state... old school

[@spungletrumpet]

Just mucking about really. I'm going to start working on the big solid state coils again soon and I wondered if one of those cheap HV generators from ebay could be made to resonate a small sparkgap coil. It turns out there's not quite enough current in them to do much, but it does work a bit. Going to be building the power supply for the 4Kw coil this weekend!

Have you been watching DiodeGoneWild's spark-gap coil build videos? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSZiGqjlt9sibc
