i decided to try the high voltage pendulum trick and it worked out pretty well! idea came from HighVoltageScience who posted a similar video

Transformer used is my old 7500V 20Ma NST

What is a NST?

[codemsan]

@Grundalizer a Neon Sigh Transformer, they are used for , as the name suggests, older neon sign setups before everyone swittched to solid state transformers

Wait, dont give the credit to Brandon, give it to Chris Boden at thegeekgroup! He posted one of the first hv pendulums on youtube! But, lol free country

@zker666 i just gave credit to him for showing me...not for creating it lol

The effect isn't that complex. It's just the voltage pushing off back and forth. Hot wire is the ball, ground is the cans. The voltage will travel from the ball to the cans, which creates a slight push. This would also work if the ball was the ground and the cans were the Hot. The cans would push the ball.

oh i forgot i wrote that

[codemsan]

its funny that you have the same one, and that you said "omg" lol

[MacsCanfly]

how is that funny?!!

[codemsan]

yes, one wire goes to the wire connected to the ball, and the other goes to both cans. and LOLL thats funny

[MacsCanfly]

than you put both wires from the transformer and connect them to the wire thats in the ball or no and if no where to put the other wire?, and omg i have the same exact transformer as your one in this vid
