what would happen if i touch that?

[teslacoiler]

@barbarotico

Just nothing!

Thanks of the skin effect, the current will flow on the OUTSIDE of your body (as the word itself say, on the skin), the delicate internal organs are not involved!

i touched the sparks of this coil thousand of times without any problems.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL TESLA COILS ARE SAFE TO TOUCH, in some of them there is only a partial skin effect so some current can flow inside the internal organs!!!!

This coil was designed to be safe at the touch

why do you let the poor plate get that hot?

[teslacoiler]

@ubuntupokemoninc

this is a GU81 with a solid block of pure graphite, not an 833 with a poor metal plate!!!!!

I can run this tube 24h/24 7d/7 at orange-red color withouth any problems!

I think this is actually an arcjet, not an ion engine.

@teslacoiler I bought a gu-81m a while ago and I built a vttc, I love how robust that tube is!!!

[teslacoiler]

@teslacoiler

Anyhow, i have some Xray machine so i don't' need to push the tube over his limits to se through the plate! :-)

Dont' worry, the plate is a milled block of pyrolitic graphite without any metals that can be fused by the high temperatures, this tube can run 24h/24 7d/7 with red-orange plate withouth any problems (in another coil i pushed another similar tube to WHITE color many and many times before i get some grid distorsion, anyhow this tube is still works perfectly)

If there was a way to keep the electricity in the wire until it gets to the end, that thing would spin REALLY fast... The streamers work against the flow of the motor. The shape of the vanes has a lot to do with it too. Many have worked on it and there has only been nominal results. There probably needs to be a magnetic field that condenses the electricity andonly allows it to flow in one direction. THEN it might work good!!! just thinking out loud....

wonder how many horsepowers it got
