Circuit board blasted with 100000 volts gives amazing effect!

Drake Anthony - 2018-08-21

Hitting a blank PCB (perfboard) with 100kV+ from some way overdriven ignition coils gives an amazing effect! I first showed off the effect in my "overclocked bug zapper" vid. I wanted to show the effect in more detail, so I used a much bigger board and upped the juice going into the ignition coils. 

As for all that root 2 business, I'm disappointed that it took me so long to realize that all that garbage simplified to root 2....

Also I apologize for all the loss

Just turn it on unplugged but connected to the board, the capacitors will run and discharge.

"Man, I wish this thing wasn't so lethal, because I would love one for my room."

I know exactly where you're coming from. I was at Target the other day and they had white tigers, two for one. But that hazard ratio... I just couldn't do it.

oLEOresin Capsicum - 2018-09-07

@manictiger lol, is that so......let me tell you now that when a big cat "plays" it's 100% terrifying and deadly, no matter the breed. It can and will kill you if it tries to play with you. Don't wrestle a cheetah.....lmao. And another thing, a person should never own a cheetah. Do you think that an animal that can run 60mph and hunts buffalo should be kept in a cage or a house? And what are you gonna feed it? Live chickens? Baby deer? Cat food?......or cats?......lmao. It'd be extremely expensive.....and the cat would be very miserable.

manictiger - 2018-09-07

Cheetahs are one of the more commonly owned 'exotic' animals, particularly in the Middle East.
And actually, yes, I do have a couple freezers full of deer meat. I literally can't eat them as fast as I can kill them.
Again, the primary issues are: I don't have time for one; it's too cold here.

JoraForever - 2018-08-22

you can make it less lethal (i think)
seal the pcb inside an glass enclosure and make an inert medium with some noble gas that is easier to ionize than air and maybe pull a vacuum inside the enclosure
and with that you don't need such a beefy circuit to power it, i think an circuit less powerful than your bug zapper would be enough also make it high frequency so it doesn't scream in the audible range

D. Gaming Assoc. - 2018-09-05

So if you submerged it in a liquid (or gas) with a different value would it take the diagonal path? Also what if it was half submerged?

Kirk Claybrook - 2018-08-22

Yes please. And a vacuum.

Vidduley - 2018-08-24

NO, please not you Styro! When someone says that 1 kV = 1 mm of spark, a small part of me dies, but when someone says 30 kV = 1 cm, I just become furious! Please consider the following: 30 kV/cm (3 MV/m) is the Townscend threshold for air ionization, you can only convert this into spark length in extremely homogenious electric field, for example a pair of spheres which diameters are more than 2.5 times bigger than the gap between them! In your needle-needle air gap the electric field is highly-nonuniform, so the ionization happens at the needles, and then streamers create the breakdown in much lower average electric field, 10 kV/cm *at best*. This is exactly why my 150 kV voltage multiplier can create a spark not 5 cm long, but 30 cm long, and I'm not even started with long air gaps physics yet. Please, you seem reasonable man, and if you are smart enough to operate with Maxwell equations level physics, which you certainly are, this stuff should be piece of cake for you.

PS I would say knowing the gap type and voltage waveform of yours that your power supply did gave out about 80 kV at that needle-needle air gap.

Best regards, stay safe and happy lasing!

who goes to party's anymore except for birthday party's its so boring literally only drink booze and talk that's it .

A party is defined as a social gathering where people typically eat and drink. WTF would you expect? A roller coaster?

Deception Ception - 2018-09-04

@ishootstuff i was with you untill your second reply , you just seem to be an ass with everybody.
"What do you expect , a roller coaster" lol shut the fuck up , just reading that triggers me.
Why would you even tell him that , of course he doesn't expect a fucking roller coaster , as he said it's "literally only booze and talk".
Stop being a douchebag and trying to be an edgy kid.

Oh anyways parties can and do occur in amusement parks.

Smug Anime Girl - 2018-09-08

Can't you just use a multimeter to actually measure the voltage at once?

Adevid Linares - 2018-08-24

I wonder if the electrical current follows a mathematical distribution on the board? Maybe even related to Pascal triangle by following the probability of possible paths as you can see that the density of "i" is much higher towards the center...
