Put a bigger fuse in.
-
why do you need a fuse if you have a circuit braker?
-
I don't get it what's this video about?
-
wow ..... amazing spark ..... and yes , certainly a power hog
-
a light bulb in series with your primary would have let you not blow ant fuses. It would have been able to run probably all day.

I understand you don't have this set up anymore, but one solution to your problem would be magnetic ballasting most likely. I'd try and limit current on the secondary, just throw another MOT in there as a series inductance, I've heard it works wonders.
Keep up the magic!

Oddly enough, I have an MOT for zapping stuff and it never trips the breaker. It takes a fair amount of usage and abuseage to make it heat up, and even then it doesn't come near to tripping the breaker.
It looks like you are using dual Capacitors. Try the same setup, but with just one capacitor. When I parallel 2 caps together, I do get more amperage, but the transformer heats up a lot quicker.
Hi HLSDK,
thanks for your suggestion. I will be retesting some time soon and will try your suggestion.
Thanks for your help.

Hi acronus,
thanks for your comment. This experiment was a one off and is no longer together to test. You do have a point though.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for looking. This was just a test to see what would happen and was done 2 times only.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi jmartis2, if you look at the details box next to the video's you will see links to topics which you will get to understand what is going on.
Thanks for looking

As always thank you Luc,
Is it hot? Probably too short to mark inside of tube.
Great vid!

Hi tstorey2, can't tell if it gets hot wet. I'll work on a primary pulse system to get it to fire by a circuit. Hopefully then we can measure temperature and power consumption and see if the circuit would have an advantage over the Water Power circuit.
