Molten Metal Squirtgun!

Join the science discord! / discord Here's an album of images and a writeup of the gun imgur.com/a/tR35G
Heres the schematic for the tesla coil www.stevehv.4hv.org/VTTC5.htm Ill be doing a build video of this in a few weeks due to popular demand!

How do you touch it without getting shocked or do you still feel it?

[@birdyhawk2501]

TheBackyardScientist soooooooooooo the squirting molten metal could break metal and not glass Nice 😋😂😂😂😂😂😁😊

[@TheBackyardScientist]

You still feel it, but its more like a very very tiny burning sensation, not a shocking sensation. Feels like the sparks from an angle grinder. The closer you get to the tesla coil, the more the sparks hurt. If actually touch the metal circle on top (Toroid) it will shock the crap out of you. if you touch the wires, like the black primary coil at the base, or the red wires mounted on the outside of the glass it will most likely kill you, and burn your skin to the bone instantly.. that's the reason im hesitant to make a 'video how to make a tesla coil' if you messed up with this gun the worst you will have is a painful burn for 3 weeks, slip up with a tesla coil and you are dead :/
