High Voltage Antique - Slightly-Mad Science

this is totally awesome i cant wait to take this to the antique roadshow. i have one in perfect condition my daddy passed on to me before he died he said it was from 1907.....i would love to find out cant wait to try this out on myself!!!

I would advise caution, as if the insulation fails, you could end up with a very nasty shock.

i know.....i was just teasing i think!! but i so love antiques this item and my civil war sword both pased on from my daddy are 2 of my absolute faves......you are very entertaining though thank you!!

I like the laugh at the end, very evil. 5 stars :p

so that's just electricity going to you?
I just bought one of those from an antique store..international electric company Chicago, july 7, 1908. I haven't used it yet, but im excited to see what i can do with it.

zap urself in the eye plz

no. transistors alone can generate a frequency of any level depending on the layout. a typical 3 volt battery powered oscillator can do low frequency with higher values for capacitors and resistors and can do very high frequency with lower caps and resistors. not everything has to be processor controlled ftw.

True, but you might want to look into an Oudin coil made back in the 1930's (or earlier) was to whether it's using ANY actual transistors .

correct. but semiconductors were not made until the 1970's to replace the bulky tubes. and besides, any vacuum tube that used high frequency was usually an x-ray tube.
