I Play With Electricity

They say do not recharge or put in backwards for a good reason....

Seeing just how fast an early CDR can be burned...in the process we discovered how to make cotton candy out of plastic. Or is that a new fiber op...

Here is a video showing my DOS computer, presented in B&W because, well, it's vintage!

I've finally built the perfect DOS machine, with all the gr...

Software: PCDOS 2.1 and CheckIt!

From the original "Electric Fun" video in 2007, this is the can crusher using a 3.5kj capacitor bank.

Stay tuned for crushing action with the 24kj...

So what happens when geeks get together, have a few beers, and supply 480v AC to old power tools meant to run on 120v AC?

The first victim is an o...

A large speaker received a 3500v capacitor discharge. Specifically, 16,000 joules of energy was pumped into this speaker in a split second!!

This is a wobblevision, or onomatograph, that I built in about 2 hours. It converts audio waveforms directly into a visual representation. In its m...

This is an example of massive current and low voltage. The power is from a gigantic transformer, un-rectified. All is powered via an inverter.

See the intense heat created when 4500v @ half an amp meets a quarter.

A 5kw inverter feeds a microwave oven transformer of the larger commercial ...

Another incredible example of 20kv @ 60ma melting glass, and flowing along a thin stream of molten glass from bottom to top of the bottle.

See glass melt and become conductive when a 20,000v @ 60ma arc cooks up a plain 'ol light bulb.

FastMHz has gone Hi-Def! This is the first HD vid...

A video clip showing various amounts of energy, from 12kj - 23kj worth, being discharged into various objects. Things included potatos, cans, lamp...

Once again I decide to put my high voltage equipment to entertaining use...pickles, sausages and a few other objects experience a massive overvolt ...

A beer bottle, coke cans, and aluminum slugs show how different 20,000 volts reacts with objects compared to low voltages.

I decided to do the "quick erase" method of wiping out old CDs...This is what happens to a CD when you discharge 20,000 volts and a little too much...

This is the classic jacob's ladder...my particular version runs on 20,000 volts @ 60ma, with the electrodes spanning 6" at the very top.

The elect...

This is my *ORIGINAL* IBM PCjr....a little machine that came out around 1983...it has some unique features! Watch this video and you may feel quit...

Some capacitor discharge into...what else...a pickle! This is a sort of preview of things to come later this season!

Exploding wires, air cannon, coil gun, can smashing and more

Latest EM Rocket launches....these rockets (and other objects) were fired entirely by electricity. No explosives or mechanical action!

Even Frederick, Maryland has the occasional lightning show. These are some of the best shots I managed to get on tape over the last few years.

This video shows my portable NES in operation! I took a GENUINE Nintendo NES console from the 80s, removed the circuitry, and transplanted it into ...

4.4ah LiPo @ 24v. 45+ minute runtime. Brushless.

Lithium Polymer Powered E-Maxx

Dual 775 Motors, 24 volt system

My first induction launched rocket, 1.7kj, 700v

1.7kj gauss gun, 32 gram projectile. Shooting cans, disks, potatoes and more.

Induction launcher, 3.3kj shot, 2 HDD platters with a hard boiled egg on top

A flight aboard the Collings Foundation's B17 "Nine-O-Nine". Flight was taken from Frederick Airport in Maryland in 2002.

This video will demonstrate the process by which I produce my coils for induction launching.
