  • Wow, that is AWESOME! Nice work.

    So the basic functionality of that is you are passing a high-voltage current through something that frequently reverses magnetic polarity to get the arc to spin? Is that basically correct? The frequency of the magnetic pole reversal dictates the speed the arc rotates around the device? Is that right?

  • @VoteORquitCRYIN

    It spins because the magnetic field does NOT change direction. The constant magnetic field puts a force onto the DC arc.

  • What are you using to get the HVDC? I scrapped around and can only find 3 microwave rectifiers, so that rules out a bridge rectifier. ... Do you think pulsed dc would work? 30ish Hz?

  • I was feeding it with half wave rectified DC so yes it will work fine.

  • Thats beautiful !  :-)

  • ufo.........

  • Wow, that is AWESOME! Nice work.

  • Can you use something like that to cut through objects? (Brain Food)

  • Cool!

    I would like to know why I have gone 24 years with on and off again HV experiments and not one heard of this or thought of it.

  • i have never seen this before. Top shelf!
