Aromaz 026 - Final Lab Note on Sparks, Corona and Water

[CosmicGnarler]

Greetings, For many days I have been studying these videos and comparing the circuits you create to the basic one I found in a PDF claiming it was your circuit. Also watching others recreations is interesting. I have found that if I recreate your circuits, it works (Hooray!) but my transistors get Really Hot and I know they would burn out unless something is done.

Are you cooling your transistors with some method or are they running cold? I had to add in a rheostat and potentiometer to cool it

@CosmicGnarler; this circuit is still much of a mystery to all of us. Mostly it runs cool, but sometimes for some reason it goes hot. Sometimes the HV line actually goes quite cold. The spark gap adjuster is very important - reduce/eliminate current. Try add more CFL's and play around with the ground wire. Sometimes the ground wire on other end of CFL's makes Q's run cool.

As far as I gather the energy that causes circuits to run cool, negative energy, is the quantum footprint of the electron, without the actual electron present. Imagine an invisible guy in the water. you'll see his hole where hes at and when he gets out all the water dripping on the floor but you wont see the guy. The water would be the quantum flux caused by an electron. By saying its hot or cold leads me to belive some electrons are lifted.

also what was gained when HV went to grounding pin?

fire and electricity -2 of my favourite things.

5 stars

the water tension at the end,

i wonder if the spark is pitting the metal,and if that is what is making it creep up the bowl.

could be oxide too.

[Aromaz2012]

Slight oxidation but I could rub it off with toilet paper. No pitting. I expected the same so I checked with 20x loupe (magnify glass).

great video's cant wait for the wireless

very interesting
