@boxa888

Power supply 5 to 10 kV DC, resistor 4,7 M, C1 = C2 = 27 nF

@apuz011 sorry to be a pain, but is it one copper sheet or is it 2 laminated pieces. thanks alot for the instruction.what was sprayed on the copper sheets?

@boxa888

PCB laminate covered on both sides with copper . The thickness of isolation 0,15 mm.

The theoretical breakdown voltage 7 kV, bat in practice laser works at 5 to 11kV without damage.

I use any varnish to electronics (on example acrylic), removed with acetone.

are you just using air?

I coudn't see any N2 setup there..!

@chilidress The beam ionizes the air, making it electically conductive. Put some sort of dimmer switch like device on it and you basically have something that performs the same functions as a Phaser.

@Dorminay42 eh ?

@chilidress If you made it more powerful, it could electrocute someone.
