How To Wire A Microwave Oven Transformer

[mashersmasher]

can a wooden dowel be used as the grounding stick?

WTF 3:38

and btw thanks 4 the Darkroom show..

The arcs put out from MOTs put out tons of UV radiation, and can kill your eyes. Wear welding goggles. About the rubber gloves, if the electricity has no where to move to you do not become a capacitor. This only applies if you are isolated from ground and are holding the HV wire. 10mA can kill you if you have a weak heart, otherwise it's 30. Household current is more than 60mA and it doesn't kill you to get shocked unless it's across your heart. Check your numbers

[HighVoltageScience]

@randommscience117 LOL

the number change as the potential difference changes ie more voltage the better the energy can travel and the less amperage it take to do damage. The number change once you reach the break down voltage of air approx at 300vac or 500dc and at that voltage thing get scary with electricity cause things you would never think to conduct because of there carbon content casing an arc to YOU or the voltage over coming the resistance and shocking YOU.

[HighVoltageScience]

@randommscience117 In most cases you are grounded in the world and even poorly grounded is grounded because high voltage dose not care about your high resistance to ground level. So you might think your gloves are going to help you but really what they are going to do it provide a poor insulator between you (ground) and the HV source making you in to a HV cap and not if but when that insulator fails its going to give you a stronger dose then lets say 15kvac at 30ma but now 15kvac at 300+ish ma

@StopMotionMind

think 

[StopMotionMind]

@HighVoltageScience

I was thinking pretty well at the time. I also figured if anything were to happen, it wouldn't be anything fatal. Electricity can be a little unpredictable....

[HighVoltageScience]

@StopMotionMind if you find electricity unpredictable you should not play with it

electricity is vary predictable

it wants a path and it will take the one

don't be the path

[StopMotionMind]

@HighVoltageScience

Well, so far, this is my only HV shock.... I've been playing with HV for about two years now :)

Just wondering, honestly, but have you ever taken a shock?

[HighVoltageScience]

@StopMotionMind

i have from lower power sources because of knowledge and carelessness

ie

120vac

1.1million vac

5000vdc at 5ma

my welder when it was wet out side

but if there is a risk i won't take it just to make some arcs and have fun

[7troding]

how abuot thick rubber gloves

[HighVoltageScience]

@7troding Having a conductor IE you between an insulator IE rubber means you know are a high voltage pulse capacitor so a charge will build up and jump through the gloves and get you with more power then you started with.

if my my spelling is wrong i have bin up for 30+ hours works to fix something.

[maleshmawa2007]

does it require a driver? i have been tryin FBT but gettin it to give powerful arc requires powerful arc

[JugglingBlog]

@adam1988 think before doing something and you'll be fine. But don't work with MOTs because I don't know enough about them. Thats when it gets dangerous ;D

[adamz1988]

my oven is broken, i wanted to take off the mot for a tesla coil but im too afraid to die..

[HighVoltageScience]

@usernameABCDXYZ from a lot of microwaves

[GearzVoNKod3]

i can barely understand what the guy is saying

[legoarchetect]

holy crap i tryed and i got shocked but i made it

[HighVoltageScience]

I think you would be dead if you shock your self with a mot.

[r66dTesla]

yeah that's definitely not for newbies!!

great advice!!! ...beacuse your first touch of a high current arc will be the last thing you ever do........R66D

[animekiller40]

yo brandon which guy talking here is paul and this is anthony saying or writing talk thing whatever

[HighVoltageScience]

No one hear is Paul.

[holycrapapie]

Good, but the lighting is not too great

[codemsan]

and for a correction, MOTs can supply upwards of an amp and a half on the secondary side under load, try shorting one directly out and put an amp meter on the secondary shorting jumper you placed there

[HighVoltageScience]

In my testing i have only got a amp for a sec

and then it went down to the high ma's.

[codemsan]

heat resistence

[HighVoltageScience]

What i did was short it out with a wire not arcing.

[codemsan]

i mean the winding get hot, resistence goes up, current falls off.

[HighVoltageScience]

OK so we are thing the same now.

[codemsan]

umm, what? take some time to think about what your typing and puncuation, i cant understand a damn thing you say half the time lol
