Whats inside a TEMU PlasmaBall ? And can I fix one?

[@stevvieb]

If only you had another one to swap the electronics to see if it is the high voltage transformer or the glass has leaked

[@spidermaf]

Hehe. If only...

First time I've heard "Rendered upon my butox" on you tube so....WINNING! Very enjoyable vid my friend! 👍 ✌️

I'm sure I read it in one of the old radio engineers i used to work with copy of Practical Wireless years ago. Stays with you that sort of thing.

It's probably not airtight enough. P.S. Nice Wow stick ✌️

[@amorpheuses1627]

I've had the same thing happen with mine. I've also thought it might be the metal coating on the inside of the glass protrusion that needs to be renewed. Not sure and haven't checked. Nor would I know how to go about removing the old coating and resurfacing it without breaking the glass. At any rate so long as it has nothing to do with the gas inside the evacuated globe, there should be a way of getting it to behave as when it was new.

[@spidermaf]

Yeah, it's interesting. Cheap enough to do some experiments with at some point. I wonder if the same happens with more expensive variants

[@KJW648]

Multiplier (diodes and caps, not transformer), thats probably gone wrong. Vince is trying to scaring you again, unless you had it on.

[@spidermaf]

That's what it's called. I should watch more @electroboom !

[@karlcleveley1114]

I always thought it contained gas-like particles, which burned out over time. Did the flux come with a capacitor? 😂

[@spidermaf]

Where we're going, we don't need capacitors...
