FastMHz.com - 24kj ElectroInsanity

A video clip showing various amounts of energy, from 12kj - 23kj worth, being discharged into various objects. Things included potatos, cans, lamps, speakers, dora balloon, dead SCRs, and of course - pickles!!

Yes, I notice the errant sparks on the cap buss bars - this has been corrected after viewing the video and seeing what couldn't be seen in realtime. Screws loosen themselves after repeated discharges, creating the mini-arcs.

Now that the charger, bank and triggered spark gap have been tested fully, large flat coils will be wound to launch LARGE EM 'rockets'!!

The capacitor bank can hold 24kj of energy at full charge. It's 4500v @ 2400uf!!

1:54 sparks go up the rail/grid thing. what is it anyway?

[FastMHz]

Lose screws in capacitors cause this, when that happens it means I need to tighten them up again.

does he have to laugh like a school girl every time?

[FastMHz]

Yes.

[iminyourbasement]

@FastMHz how loud is that, and what would it be comparable to?

[FastMHz]

@iminyourbasement Some of those explosions sound like a high powered rifle being discharged. You can feel the pressure wave....

I think you love blowing things up just a little bit.

[davidjereb]

Gotta love his nasty hyena laugh :D

Joule do anything for attention.

@FastMHz Once you are excited seeing your designs in action, laughing like school girl is permitted.

Great Video FastMHz

Via an electro-mechanical spark gap

[FrinkBatallion]

How do you shortcircuit?

With a Thyristor or mechanical?

thx for an answer

(i built one by myself, but i discharge them with two spring...)
