FastMHz.com - 20,000v vs. Beer Bottle

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

so cool)) What invertor do you use?

[FastMHz]

It's a large AIMS modified sine inverter. I found that the high voltage experiments seem to go better with a dirty waveform than a pure sine, reason unknown.

[ChaosNuke666]

Perhaps because of sine wave has short time when voltage is reaching amplitude + same time zero voltage + somthing in the middle xD Sry for bad english.

So is this halfbridge//bridge topology?

[FastMHz]

I'm not sure about what kind of circuit the inverter is using, I've never really examined the internals. The only thing between the inverter output is a large variac, and then the HV transformers - 4 series-paralleled ignition transformers.

Why can't you start uploading more of these?

ZUN and the Demoman would be pissed

[Thissiteisapain]

Gonna put a video up soon showing me doing this. Been usind 750 volts though and sometimes 12000-15000.

First thing that springs to mind:

Rather interesting Method of melting.

Second thing: Is that a pizza box??

i have do this in 2001.

When you have constant temperatur in the room and constant temperatur the glas you can shape the glass.

PS: I use for this 1400V not 20kV like you

That was also extremely impressive to watch. I like how you managed to get the electricity to arc across the gap made by the break glass.
