Yep a bit dangerous, those size capacitors can stop your heart, if your alone you will die, simple CPR will restart you if someone is there and knows it, we lost a qualified electronics tech here when he touched one of these, Microwave ovens are the most dangerous, when you open them, even when they have been off for a while.
Get yourself some elctricians rubber gloves, wear safety glasses because metal can vaporize under these conditions. Discharge the Cap, power off before getting close
Dude, this stuff is dangerous, you shouldn't be handling it like that while it's running, especially the capacitor. It's dangerous when you have high voltage, and high current at a low frequency. Which is exactly what you've got there...
@johnb003 do you really think, do you REALLY THINK, that this guy, who constructed all this himself, would not have considered and does not appreciate every single danger and concern in doing something like this? what an absolutely gigantic head you must have to believe that you know something he doesn't........
I'm afraid I don't understand the spark cell ... is it a simple electrolysis cell with coils for electrodes instead of plates? Can plates be used to make the spark cell? What purpose does the spark cell have toward generating the plasma? Does it generate an oscillating signal as a seed for the tank circuit? The rest of it looks pretty straight forward.
the spark cell is completely different than a plate cell, because of the surface area of the electrodes.... see what you dont see is that youcan put as much electrolyte as you like and will not draw but a certain amps cause of the size of the electrode. thepurpose of generating plasma is for one it puts off flammable gas, and theextra heat that is made, is energy but the cell dontdraw alot of amps. What do you mean tank circuit?
tank circuit consists of a cap and a coil,which resonates at specific frequencies.
like in radio,the dial turns the capacitor plates,changing the value of the cap,which changes the resonant frequancy of the tank circuit and tunes the radio to the transmitter stations output freq.
This is great! Congratulations and thanks for your courage, man!

how is the dimmer working off from dc usually they are ac devices dosent a single diode make it into quarterwave dc

so the coils i blue watr...are in some kind of electrolyte ....to limit current?

Where did you find that large of a capacitor? Thanks. Cool experiment by the way.
500lbkoolaidman 3 years ago
the capacitor comes out of air condittioner units, there the start cap for the compressor
there pretty cheap too. youcan get a 440 35uf for about 6dollars at hvac supply house.

the video diagram is pretty straight forward,
if you have any specific questions, just ask. but as far as another video, i dont think im gonna be on this subject much longer.
