Fun with High voltage (Episode II)

[lokeycmos]

you have the coolest high voltage videos!

[Spoif]

I understand it's relatively easy to fry MOTs like this. What measures do you have in place to prevent them frying? Those arcs look fierce and unballasted.

[JerryGiesler09]

How many volts/amps are the arcs pushing?

[aurestest]

WHAT IDIOT SAYS LED DIODE???????

the D in LED stands for diode dumbass

[myryonspoof]

1:45 would've scared the piss out of me

[matyviola]

press 8 for vomiting ahahha

[thepigeonsmustdie]

Lol at the pringles man at 5:48

[TheSnailfan]

wow...really big plasma arch on 2:12

[mr13579100]

electricuting snow! and try drying your clothes with that!

[mr13579100]

electricuting snow!

[JeremyB796]

lol you burned nero

[thiagosats]

5:40 NICE SOUND xd

[shadowwarrior97]

next computer breakthrough fast wireless data transfer through high electricity. warning risk of shock

[sn0wD]

in a weird way it kinda looks like a welding torch...

[TeslaWasHere]

Those are some nice arc, but you're horribly unsafe. Consider the length of the arcs in the salt water soaked block video and consider how far away your hand is, or even how long the chicken stick is. I can easily see your hand in the same video! Thumbs down for safety failure.

I hope you don't ever possess a pole pig and use the same "safety" equipment. If you can call wood that. Get a piece of PVC for crying out loud.

[meanowner]

how did you make that

[Zblj1987]

Whats your electricity bill?

[1Stalker1]

@Zblj1987

I bet it's over 9,000!!!!!!!

putis.

[BigAir92]

hey .. hey apple :) :D

[TheLightningStalker]

I see you're using wood as an insulating material. hope you're still alive

[jmartis2]

@TheLightningStalker dry wood is a good insulator.

[TheLightningStalker]

@jmartis2 It will absorb moisture from the environment, making its electrical properties highly variable.

[andreitaranul]

asta que te quedas frito

[awesomelightning]

thats not the way to cook an aple XD I love HV.

[Kosh800]

I'm kinda shocked that Y shaped piece of wood didn't explode, lol.

[hammerfaust77]

Sounds like star wars sound effetcs x) !

[a380rockerfan]

how many transformers and caps did you use?

[jmartis2]

@a380rockerfan 2 transformers and 4 caps here, with a small inductance in series with the primary windings.

[tonypawn100]

Remember DK Publishing.

[waskaman94]

epesode 3. mot bbq

[britdemo]

i take it the cuurent is also connected to the little piece of metal plate the objects are on

[MadManMarkAu]

Are you using the HV caps from your microwaves as a resonant voltage doubler? You normally don't get such long/hot arcs from a simple unballasted MOT stack...

[bjtaudio]

This video is proof that wood when dry is typically an insulator, with the block of wood at the beginning of the video as the water is burnt off, the conductivity of the wood drops off. It also demonstrates how wood or slightly conductive materials can cause flash-overs, you can see the 1.5 Amp arc strike and climb up the wire on the stick towards the person holding it. (I'm not however recommending the use of wooden stick as an insulator, it's a bit too risky.) cool video, love it!

[rEaYghMONz]

Freaking flamethrower? The snow looked like a skull! By the way there was way too much wood.

[leetus112]

its like a flamethrower

[RokasBum]

5:38 Bon Jovi

[alex96423]

great, keep on making videos

[weixiang2001]

cool!!!!

[ProAnMac]

Thats freakin awesome! And crazy!

[GONZ7100]

who keeps on farting in the background

[Ac1DGoD]

the noise that shit makes is hilarious

[firedude201234]

thats 9000 WATTS!!!!!!!!!!1

[sxs243]

@firedude201234 dude 9000 watts is fuck all haha

[ifraaz350zGTR]

This looks fun haha

[79Yamato]

Why does YouTube show "Don't Pet this Kitty!! Pt. 3" in the 'Similar Videos'-Section?

Did you fry a cat with your HV supply? lol

[firedude201234]

that is kinda weird lmao

[79Yamato]

LOL @ the sound, the Pringles can makes! XD

[punchmaster123]

this guy's stupid. i can pretty much guess what it's gonna say on his obituary when he dies.

[fundash]

@punchmaster123 FAIL

[randommezos]

dude where do u get all this stuff???

[GingleGangle1]

Did the apple become tasty?

[a380rockerfan]

Was the HV supply as MOT (microwave oven transformer) stack? Because the arcs are distinctive...

[jmartis2]

you're right :)

[TheSnailfan]

@jmartis2

Try a bit of dog poop!!!

[letseeitplease]

i notice you did not have on gloves, how did you keep from getting shocked? thanks for posting this video, More Power To You

[jmartis2]

I used a wooden arcing stick which kind of insulates when the stick is dry. :)

[a380rockerfan]

yeah, exactly

[DemSilverLight]

2 H2O + electrolysis (high voltage idk how much U) --> 2 H2 + O2... and then the electricity lights up the hydrogen and it becomes water again...

[csengeri]

If the arc bit someone's hand what would be the result? Death immediately?

[akademiker23]

if the charge flows tru the heart, yes but if not, it would cause burns inside the body

[FrenchFriedPoop]

5:37 hahahaha

[JerryGiesler09]

1:30-2:40 I think that the salt water in the wood block have the tendency to pass the arc to the metal plate instead of burning the wood, hence the name"electrolyte arcing"

[kukudutu]

how you do it? I want to do it at home is like? please answer me

[tonysie]

does that produce ozone too?

[jmartis2]

I think it does, but high power arcs like this probably produce much more NOx gasses than ozone...

[zker666]

coil OWNED

[JerryGiesler09]

Can you answer the following:

How many volts?

How much current?

What is the frequency used?

[MacsCanfly]

its secret lol i think its about 15KV maybe 20KV, very low current

[SmashCOBamberg]

wow, that's a lot of power

[px002]

this would be nice security system for a house.. LOL insta-pop the 2am theif..

[CornDogAndFrenchFrys]

i want to see you do it with an old cell phone

[vik95170]

very interresting great with a coil.

[network909]

absolutely cool!

[blackdeath46]

I am curious do you have a high electric bill?

[jmartis2]

Not because of my high power experiments, I run them just for a few minutes at most at a time.

[glamterra]

does it realy use much power?

[jmartis2]

I think this thing drew around 4kVA from the mains...

[raydiddy420]

That would be sooo awesome to try it on your own head :D

[jmartis2]

oh really?

[raydiddy420]

lol

[mexicanerd]

yarly

[ashtonsamuel]

damn if that gets to your arm O.O

[pohldriver]

man, this guy sure dose like playing with his wood.

[artem911]

light saber noises cooooolio.

[weeruz]

Contain that shit in a forcefield and you have one..

[micLuc14]

the wood one is funny

[zezimashock]

the apple that one is cool :D

[aceistookool]

try a pringles chip bag!!!

[mbotv10]

Cool vid!

[narchoman49]

either the koolest thing or the dumbest thing iv ever seen.................but i think il go with both

[tritonmole]

that`s so freaking beautiful and scary!!!!!!!

[rcfp2006]

i wanted that apple to explode

[speedstakerguy]

watch this guy get a 500000 dollar electricity bill after playing with this thing all night.. :P

[andreaacme]

Not true dude ... he is not spending much compared to what he is doing.

Maths work out that it is like if he had 10 light bulbs on in his house for those 7min of video. You waste the same amount of power for keeping on your PC at full power (100% CPU) for roughly 3hours and 30min.

It is of course a waste but believe me no big deal.

[Bob8673]

ghostbusters :P

[HackCrackDownloads]

how u made this??

[jmartis2]

high voltage generator with transformers from microwave oven

[guimbadriver]

good very good be carefull with HV if a arc bite your hand the final result could be dead or member amputation

[michaeljudge88]

That 30K resistor was cool!

[angrysausage123]

I should supercharge my Nan's pace-maker with this.

[EmoDog666]

Damnnnnn 2:00

[xatblasterx]

ur gonna die at some point from that shit

[Demoman42]

thank you.

[Demoman42]

You are using 1 microwave transformer ? or few of them ?

[jmartis2]

Im using two

[kusler67]

Light Emitting Diode Diode

[jmartis2]

I really love people like you

[triggerhappy77707]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahah

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahaa­hah

That sounds so funny when i preview it

[jovicakluk]

lmao what do your parents think when they see you playing with these things

lol

[jmartis2]

nothing, they dont really care, and I dont show it to them :p

[triggerhappy77707]

hahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

sounds like the opposite of me, i drag my mother outside to scare the s$#t out of her :P.

[srbija23232323232323]

So what is happening here? It is just a high potential difference and electrons flow through the air to the anode. And this cool plasma is what?

[TCDIL95]

awsome!

i respect you man!!!!!

wooo

[YOUFIXXXER]

It was seemed to me that with an apple too severely... nero BURNING ROM!))))) I liked your humour))))))

[YOUFIXXXER]

Мне показалось что с яблоком это было слишком жестоко...

nero BURNING ROM! ))))) Мне понравился твой юмор ))))))

[usbserverchile]

cOOOOOOOL  ;)

[FixedHDD]

lol the sound at the 30k resistor was funny

[holycrapapie]

you should build a jacobs ladder

[jmartis2]

see my channel I already built it :)

[LDteam]

great stuff :P

one day I might catch up, I'm still working on trying to make a simple electric igniter.

[AerykR]

I once arced a led but it smelled horribly, like hydrochloric acid. x_x Did it for you as well?

[jmartis2]

This was kind of high current so the led just cracked in half -_- dunno how it smelled as it was outside and under a glass jar

[teddybear114]

This looks real nice,Awesome

[codemsan]

how much current does this draw

[jmartis2]

from mains? Peaks ca. 18A from 230V

[codemsan]

cool my unballested dual mot setup will pull over 30A without over-heating :)

[smiley235]

so how do you keep the amperage below 30?

[codemsan]

i dont :)

[bossoholic]

Are they in series or in parallel?

[codemsan]

series

[smiley235]

lol, the 30k resistor sounded like it was vomiting. So what was the final voltage output and what did you use for current limiting.

[jmartis2]

Well the no-load voltage is 4200VAC but when arcing, the voltage goes to over 6kV by resonant rise. There is some current limiting by a homemade inductor choke.

[AerykR]

What i really dont get is why this does not happen with insulators of the power grid when snowing or raining.

[jmartis2]

I think it's because the shape of the insulators, you know the "stacked plates". As it rains the water doesn't get under the "plates" so it's still insulating there.

[AerykR]

Well, i thought especially to when snowing and it piles up on insulators... but obviously it has the physics that prevents arc flashes. First, insulators are usually far more longer than the maximal flashover distance. Second, snow itself does not conduct electricity, and precipitation of any kind is essentially distillated water which has very high resistance as i know.

[AerykR]

Sure the shape of the insulator acts an important role in it as well, to sculpt the electric field (weaken it). Still a bit puzzles my mind.

[AerykR]

I have a whacked idea which would like to see from you. Fry something with the audiomod flyback you have (still, hopefully). =D

[jmartis2]

That's a cool idea indeed! Of course I don't have it anymore :p but it should be easy to make it again.

[AerykR]

Awesome vid and thanx for posting this. The salty arcs were very impressive. =)

[awsomehighvoltage]

what kind of transformer were you using? MOTs?

[jmartis2]

Yes MOT bank

[codemsan]

thought it was funny how the arc wouldnt cooperate with the salt water soaked wood! and burning things is always fun!!!!
