  • Hehe, works like a charm. Might want to have something that limits current in there though, my transformer nearly burned through the table :Y

  • Hey great video there: just curious! what would happen if you added another diode?

  • hey, shouldnt the wire coming from the capacitor that you are arcing to be coming off the side of the capacitor that the diode is connected to? as that would give you 4kv dc pulses, it looks and sounds like your getting raw ac through this setup?

  • i did the same thing but i suggest going to a 15 amp fuse... alltho it dissent last long ether... it amazes me that you can power a small house with the amount just that draws

  • awesome video bro! have to do that some time. doubling the voltage using a cap and diode definitely creates higher voltage AND that also means the arc will start at a longer distance! very bright arc lol
