Actually, this would be survivable, if it didn't travel through your vital organs. You would have severe burns of course, and would probably loose any limbs involved, but it could be survivable.
ohh yeah^^ thats pretty cool! ive got at the moment 2 MOTs.. connectet in series i have 4kv at 1A ;) but when i connect 4 Capactitors in serie the 16Breaker trigger out :D
18A @2.2kV is positively lethal; it would kill you before you could even feel the current going through you and toast your innards in a matter of seconds.
If you have an electric oven (as supposed to gas), try the outlet that feeds it. Ditto with a water heater (again...only if you have electric instead of gas) Thats all i can think of. Any appliance that is meant to heat, uses a lot of juice. Nothing else comes even close; not even a whole-house air conditioner Hope this helps!
um, no...don't try that. This is not something you should play around with. Range sockets, or any heavy duty loads in a residence don't even take close to 200A anyway.
It's difficult but it can be done. This voltage will only start an arc at about a 2mm gap, and the arc tends to just sit there and not move up. You'd have to pull the ladder rails apart after the arc started to get it to rise, or trigger an arc to start over a longer distance using an HV trigger pulse.
@magnetique12 tesla500 is right, or you could use a 'Gabriel's Electrode', which consists of a 1M ohm resistor (wire wound, heavy duty if possible) connected to the 'hot' end of the Jacob's Ladder and the other end of it goes to the middle of ladder, between the 2 wires, at the very bottom. Google it up for more info. Does this help you? Cheers, a380rockerfan.
yes you are right if it draws 190A from 240v thats somewhere around 45.5 or 45.6 kw divide that by 2200 its like 20A than u add in the losses of hv xfrs you get around 18a and after taking my mot out of its bank and running it with an hv clamp it runs my 1200W at 1A out it all depends on inductance in wiring leading from the box to ur unit and series losses you were right
yea he was doing a soldering job on it...he has all these mots and a 200amp main...and he was lazy to go to radio shack for a 15-45 watt soldering iron
The city of Delta has spring cleaning, a week where everyone puts stuff they don't want out on the curb to be picked up. We get a group of people together and go "shopping" for anything good during that week. We picked up 19 microwave ovens a couple years ago.
The high voltage allows the arc to be easily started on things that arn't conductive enough for an arc welder. Also, HV allows the arc to be pulled out to over 1' long without extinguishing too easily.
touching mains 230-240 volts AC wont kill most people, as your reflex reaction will ensure that no damage is done to you. Should give you a hell of an adrenalin rush tho...lol.
No hard X-rays are produced by an arc in atmospheric pressure air. Also, gamma rays are by definition produced by nuclear reactions, X-rays are produced by electrical means.
you bunch of dumbasses wanna get blind by highly immense Ultraviolet Radiation, be my guest, and when ya get older... by the time you reach to the age 25 if you keep up with the arc like that, you will lose your eyes,and when you do go blind... ya know what happened and the REASON why you went blind. peace
The person operating the arc rod was wearing a welding mask with a #10 welding lens. The camera operator viewed the arc only through the LCD viewfinder. No-one was exposed to unsafe UV radiation.
UV protection definitely a good move. "Sunburnt" myself when i was a kid doing stuff like this before i figured out the obvious. No long lasting effects (that i know of). I wonder what it takes to accidentally get xrays...anyone know?
just a touch of overexaggeration here, but for the most part, do protect your eyes, seriously. Been there, done this, got lucky i guess. i am ever so much older than 25 now, and can still see to type this.
be careful i nearly DIED when i was a child wen i touched a mains wire by mistake ,and i got stuck to it , i felt like my head was about to explode ,my sister saved me
uh...lol shure u touch a mains...there is no life for anyone trust me it is imposible only if ur jesus...i mean u prolly touched a 15-30amp line...you can have a chance there..not a mains
FYI - "Sure", "Probably", "You're" and "you". I also connected myself to a 240v 60hz mains supply once too on some tree lights. It didn't pop a breaker and I managed to shake free of it. What do you mean a 15-30 amp line? Given that a resistance draws current in proportion to the potential difference accross it simply saying "30 amp line" on it's own is meaningless. You need enough voltage to break the skin resistance. Then apply Ohm's law.
actually i touched a mians line too when i was a kid and by mains i mean 230- 240 volts. im still around but it gave me one fucking shock! thankfully i didnt get stuck to it tho! im about to make a jacobs ladder using a microwave transformer... if anyone knows if i need the capactor too please message me cos i dont know!
That's really cool - I want to go see if I can find some old microwave ovens in the garbage room (there is a room where they put old electric devises)
- I don't have that much power (only a standard outlet at 230 V with a 10 A fuse), but you can have pretty fun with only about 500 mA at that voltage (that would require about 5A from the outlet)
That would help a little, but the transformers are being used so far beyond their ratings that keeping the runtime short is the only way to not burn them up. The fan would allow the setup to be run again after a shorter time because the transformers would cool faster.
Ok - that is some power (even more than needed), it has to be a large transformer - I have burned some old circuit boards like that motherboard with 30 A but the voltage was only 2 or 3 volts.
Transformers do not boost power they simply convert voltage levels. If higher voltage is needed then the current will be less, however, if lower voltage is needed then you get more current, but if you use the formula for power for the input and the output you will get about the same on the output as on the input.
Here: 240 volts * 190 Amps = 45,600 watts IN 2,200 volts * 18 Amps = 39,600 watts OUT
It is slightly lower on the output because obviously no device is 100% efficient.
you can draw any amount of power you want from the pole. All you need to do is step up the KVA with a step up transformer... you can get 22KVA up to 44KVA by using a step up with a 2/1 ratio.
no just find a 500kv power line that comes for a power plant then tie a rock to a metal line then hook it up to aligator leeds NOW you some power now!
I no I was joking you would be varporized! your right about the transfomers they cant bost power I read it in an encycolpeadia and it stated right in there about that. It told me all the baics about a transfomer and the detals about it too so you are right! Oh yes we had some bad weather and I got to see a downed three phase 17Kv pole snaped in have because lighting hit it it was right out side my window it arced out for hours it was awsome first ime seeing one do that to!
There are several ways to do it, basically just by adding impedance in series with the primary winding. One easy way is just with a light bulb. Connect a light bulb in series with the MOT and that will limit the power to the wattage of the light bulb.
...But very cool video. I don't have sound on the computer I'm using right now, but I'll definitely check this out again when I get home. I've been wanting to get some high voltage and high current arcs. The most I've worked with is 15,000 volts at 120 milliamps with 4 neon transformer hooked together.
Yikes! 45,000 Watts! Even if you did use a high amperage breaker, where in the world did you get that much power? I didn't know you could even draw that much power from the pole...most distribution transformers are only 15 or 20 Kilowatts. I'd be afraid to even use one MOT without current limiting. I'm surprised the windings didn't catch fire with all the current you'd be drawing.
Tim Taylor would be proud - that brings new meaning to the phrase "More Power!" I pity all the people near you though who were trying to listen to AM radio when you were doing this.
whats that coil thing on the end of the live wire it looks like a cellphone antenna i had something like this but it was a pen and i have a cell phone antenna from a car

...But very cool video. I don't have sound on the computer I'm using right now, but I'll definitely check this out again when I get home. I've been wanting to get some high voltage and high current arcs. The most I've worked with is 15,000 volts at 120 milliamps with 4 neon transformer hooked together.

Yikes! 45,000 Watts! Even if you did use a high amperage breaker, where in the world did you get that much power? I didn't know you could even draw that much power from the pole...most distribution transformers are only 15 or 20 Kilowatts. I'd be afraid to even use one MOT without current limiting. I'm surprised the windings didn't catch fire with all the current you'd be drawing.

Well, there would not be much left after touching the output of that.... One MOT is bad enough, but 10?!?

Tim Taylor would be proud - that brings new meaning to the phrase "More Power!" I pity all the people near you though who were trying to listen to AM radio when you were doing this.
