  • That's hilarious and amazing! 86 volts down to 1.2 volts!

  • @CassetteMaster

    It's safe each capacitor is rated at 630 working volts. The reason why you would not want to do this is each capacitor is over 2$. You did some really good experimenting earlier keep it up. You will learn so fast, with fails and successes. Don't worry about fails, that is how your learn what works.

  • how is that wired? whats the source changing the caps?

  • @gurtobe

  • Thanks mars777a

    This is more of an experiment and using caps is ok here. I just checked the suppler and I could not find them any more. The closest I got cost over 2$ each. A transformer is cheaper and smaller.

    My last move was from Issaquah, WA to here in NC.

    Yep things have gotten better in HD I hope YouTube improves the sound also.

  • @AllAmericanFiveRadio I've noticed it can take a while, and usually for no good reason. I've had videos I checked when they first give me the link from the upload page and they look awful (well, they look like they did in 2007). I'm glad they've improved their software to give us "High Quality" as they called it for a little bit in 2008. Now they're all the way to HD!

  • @coondogtheman1234 AC. the bulb is 1 volt@0.25 amps.

  • Is that power at the bulb AC or DC? how many amps? I wonder if it's possible to get 12VDC and decent amps via this method.

  • Thanks CameramanLink

    Look forward to your next video, tape recorders are interest and are still fascinating to me, as you may have guessed from some of my stories. I wait until I see the HD before going public on my videos, but I am tiered of waiting so I am going let it go out.
