Make a SUPER HIGH VOLTAGE Capacitor

Need a high voltage capacitor? Then look no further! You could make a Leyden Jar, but why not something with 10 times more capacity and smaller?

The King of Random video: • SHOCKING Science with ...

Hey All! Congratulations to the two lucky winners of the Hantek scopes, and thanks everyone for sticking around! - Clement D. - Nikhil S.

[@elyasrasti8943]

ElectroBOOM alright so I wanna zap some Afghan kid I go to school with who pretends hes irani. I want to take this jar and shock him. How do I ground it while charging? Do i take a wire and attach to myself? And how do i shock him. Does he have to touch both terminals?

[@ComposingGloves]

You know a guy has shocked himself alot when he can tell just by looking at a spark how many volts it is.

[@lordsqueak]

I think he was judging how far away from touching it was when it sparks. It's about 1 kilovolt per mm. But then again, he IS an expert on shocking himself as well. ;)

[@ostapkurtash6359]

You both are right but it takes a lot of practice to feel the distance ;)

[@rich1051414]

He can tell by the violence of the spark. The loudness and brightness increases with voltage, and he has worked with high voltage enough to recognize roughly the range of the spark. Make no mistake, that hurt like a bitch getting shocked by. That is stun gun territory.

I can appreciate people making experiment videos, but without actual scientific exploration those videos have little benefit other than generating views. I wish more people would spend the time to understand why a certain experiment yields a particular result (or doesn't). Thank you Mehdi for doing that.

[@Thomas-lv9se]

You are absolutely right! The King of Random just does random stuff without actually understanding the theoretical background most of the time. I am an educator myself and I love the way Mehdi connects science, fun and (intended) accidents in his videos. He's brilliant!

[@SharkyMoto]

i mean it was too much actually searching for what happens with the superglue and the borax solution.. i mean you dont have to understand everything or explain it like you are teaching a child, but at least mentioning what actually happens would be a nice touch that i'm missing in tkor videos... but hey at least he is building picknicktables with cupholders... not like you could put your cup ON the table

BOXING RELAX - Then you guys must of had a really lousy college lecturer as this guy’s information is not all correct. He’s an armature in this field of static capacitors with very limited understanding of electrostatics. Being a goofball also makes hard for people to take him seriously.

[@SilverHand-fu1jn]

@@FreeMagneticEnergy2 its not because of lausy lecturer. (India here) college curriculum even in engineering is like 95% theory with no teaching of how it should be use in life. I study CSE i pass in python, c but i dont know anything about it. Its like making us learn byheart or teaching us language without teaching us how to speak/use it. Hence we forgot all the stuff very easily

[@FreeMagneticEnergy2]

Vanlalchhanhima Vanchhawng - 🔴 Theory has its place, but not as a primary source of information. I agree... how something works, verses what we can do with it, is a lapse in teaching. I like using the Leyden jar concept in the form of a large PVC pipe. It works far better, no water is required, and it’s easy to install aluminum foil on both the inside and outside of the capacitor. Not to mention that the dielectric properties of PVC is extremely high. Making it ideal to build capacitors with. A series of these advanced capacitors of six or more at 18” diameter by 36” length, is ample to generate small balls of lightning. (Ball lightning) when applied correctly.

[@christopherleubner6633]

Used to make capacitors from baker's foil and landscaping plastic. Roll into a spiral, then stuff into a pipe suck the air out, and fill with transformer oil. Worked nicely for tesla coils because the foil ends were combined to form a lug on each side. You can also make a spiral line pulse generator. Just roll as normal with the inner portion having an extra 4 to 18 turns of foil inside. When discharged the current wave becomes ultra high voltage.

[@neilosborne8682]

Sounds interesting. I'd like to try this. Can you provide some more details on how you constructed this?

[@jishanajmeri8523]

8:12 😁😅 made of "Material"

[@owoo6]

Only boys know what material it is. It's probably dried up isn't it?

[@Electroblud]

If you fold the edges of the aluminium foil about 5mm in, that will increase the radius on the edges and reduce partial discharges. Meaning the charges will have a harder time flying away. I learned this visiting a factory for high voltage bushings. ^^

[@Electroblud]

Oh and this was an amazing video! Highly informative! Thank you for this! ^^

[@xexun0010]

folded after or before laminating?

[@greenthizzle4]

|_shemhamphorasch_| before, if you do it after it's gonna ark over because you left too much aluminum showing

[@formdoggie5]

Wouldnt a full roll-over edge be better? That would prevent the charge from ever getting to the actual "edge" where it can unintentionally discharge, right? It would discharge/flow back to self before it ever made it to the edge to build up enough to cause the discharge we are looking to avoid, perhaps? Like spoons vs forks in a microwave

[@isettech]

A common way to increase the value is to put one foil on one side near the bottom edge, and flip it over and put the other foil on but near the top edge. Place a 2nd sheet of insulation and roll the cap so each plate is touching the dielectric on both faces. The foil at the edges makes a contact at each end of the rolled tube. This makes very short electrical paths to all of the foil resulting in very low ESR with twice the capacitance for the amount of foil used. Put the roll into a PVC pipe with a contact on each end and you have a very robust capacitor. Rolled Mylar capacitors are very effective.

I’m pretty new to electrical things but i am thinking of making this. I only have one question. How would I ground myself and the jar

[@JohnBoen]

I did a quick search on ideas to make a capacitor bank for a Tesla coil. Of course ElectroBoom is in the top of my searches :)

[@maximivanov8467]

I used to make HV capacitors when I worked at an electronics club for school kids in Moscow, and we used plastic file folders as insulators. The capacitors worked quite well: we usually got about 7 nF (without gluing the aluminum foil to the plastic to save time) and a voltage rating of anywhere between 5 to 20 kV, depending on how well the caps were made. Dielectric absorption was a bitch though: I once killed an LC meter with a capacitor that I'm certain I had discharged.

“Very low price” I can’t with this voice dude 😂😂😂

[@rockyledger2656]

Awesome videos!!! Thanks 🙏 Keep it up up!!

[@asa47mora07]

love you guy, you still alive, best wishes!!!!

[@Superfluous.]

VERY LOW PRICE. This will be a meme.

[@CortMarshal]

WOW! That's a low price!

[@spacecowboy2k]

I want to know where he got that sound bite from! Hilarious.

Watch the 1969 film The Magic Christian. Peter Sellers and Ringo Star. Low Low Prices!

Get yourself a CRT (tube) TV that at least powers on. The anode voltage to the picture tube is typically 30 kV DC. Should be perfect to charge up your capacitor. Fast.

[@kanorshkan]

Dont forget that TV's have a super powerful capacitor in them. Like, leave you on the ground twitching strong. Gotta make sure that's safely discharged first you're pulling it from an old TV.

[@morpheus6749]

​@@kanorshkan There's no such thing as a "powerful capacitor". *Power* is not a rating on a capacitor. Capacitors have only two ratings: capacitance and the maximum voltage they will tolerate before shorting out.

[@jordanrodrigues8265]

@@morpheus6749 Equivalent series resistance is also important. And there are safety ratings, but this is the wrong channel for talking about them.

You are a perfect explainer!
