DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED WITH HIGH VOLTAGES

  • Nice job Kultus!

    Great video!

    I normally use a blow torch when harvesting parts as they dissolve the solder like a hot knife through butter.

    Now I just need to find a TV!

    we normally have our annual scrap collection a few days before Halloween, so should have some nice goodies within the next 3 weeks.

    Just have to beat the Pikies to the salvage :)

  • @IrishDaveatTeepForum Never thought to use a blow torch, I may look in to getting one soon, I am having Bugz's problem of burnt finger tips from holding the components as it is easier than using a pair of pliers to grip every single one, GOOD LUCK beating the pikies to the Tele's mate ... don't forget to grab the Microwaves too lol :P

  • My original intention was just to buy the test leads, remove the wire and re-solder the rated wire for each specific application. But it appears what your saying is that you can just buy the alligator clips? Thats fantastic! I have a few mini gator clips but those usually only work well for smaller applications. They work wonders for the arduino. Would love to have some different sizes. I have a huge box full of different rated wire, sounds like a weekend project for me. =D Now onto wire covers!

  • @bugs181 yep most electronic shops stock these alligator clips on their own with no wires, but harbor freight is by far the cheapest.

  • @TheKultus Awesome, ill be sure to pick some up. Well, ill leave ya be. Your probably getting annoyed at the notifications and such. email me sometime, or shoot me a facebook request (if you have one) from email.

  • @bugs181 All good mate, this is my day job at the moment :) Fb request sent.

see all

  • Nice!

  • @bugs181 they are rated to 300volts, they are quite thin so for use on HV like I have the insulation is not verry good at all, harbor freight also sell a packet of Mixed Clips like the one on the end of these ones to make your own HV ones like I intend to do next week when I have a little more cashola, search on harbor freight for "28 Piece Electrical Clip Set" then you just get wire to suit your spec mate. hope that all helps mate :) ...

    Can't wait to see your current project in action :)

  • @TheKultus Well you've got some great progress and results so far. Keep up the good work! When you say low voltage - whats the rating on those little buggers? Im sure I can find this out before I buy some as well, but just curious if you knew before-hand. As for the overseas (import), I cant complain. Here in the US my packages from China were suppose to take close to 2 months and I received the packages in under 2 weeks.. thats SUPER FAST!! Great to hear from you as well bud. =)
