Very hot electric arc

@cybernetics BWAHHAAH I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT XD

Cool experiment. I will give that a try too and will let you know per video response if it was successfull.

[jmartis2]

Read the description. 230V DC and 3-5A. The power is limited with capacitors and chokes, there are no transformers.

[JENSSCHLAU]

Very good.

[mumish13]

Thanx! i want make an diagram about this.

[mumish13]

Replacing the inductor, a 40W fluorescent tube ballast can work with the same purpose? They are an kind of inductors and related in the family of inductors (i can draw some little and hot arcs at 30V 500mA only, non rectified, without caps)

[jmartis2]

I don't know, they might get hot. How you connect it up is that you use a non-polarised capacitor (30-50uF)in series with mains, a 10A bridge rectifier, after which you put the choke in series.

[mumish13]

what's the transformer?

[jmartis2]

there is no transformer, only choke

[1337m4n]

Do you have an estimate of how hot that gets?

[dreamyear]

spary mist water if there's any reaction to it.

[guillesms]

Use this to replace your zippo.

[HitmanSam007]

lol

[mumish13]

say me the materials what you uses in this experiment please?

[jmartis2]

materials? There is a 50uF 230V capacitor, fullwave rectifier and inductor. The material of the electrodes are copper and steel I think.

[willowmp]

and instantly die?

id rather not

[tall32guy]

Ummmm DC? DC doesn't have a vibration frequency like this does! The current you're using is AC. ;-)

[jmartis2]

it is DC it's just not perfectly filtered so there's a little AC component :)

[RotogenRay]

it's just got some harmonics in it
