They are, more efficient, and considerably dangerous some distance away!

Consider at the same power level. We were limited to 20 kVA (MAX) at the residential setting. Any more would trip the main breaker. Didn't have the balls to bug off the wires at the peckerhead (this is highly illegal anyways since all the power used does NOT go through the meter!)

Simple Coil running 15+ kVA

Twin Sisters

People that are brave enough to watch cannot have any metal objects on their person whatsoever, or they can catch on fire!

Cheers!

soviets for teh win!

Here is one of the smaller coils being run off the larger one.

Power input was limited to 5 kVA. The flashing from behind is D'Arsonval discharges from the "feeder" coil. The second coil shorted out shortly after this video was shot and needs a secondary re-wind.

The sound even at this limited power (roughly 1/4 of what's available in the residential setting!) was still quite loud. Runs longer than a minute drive dogs six blocks away crazy and get plenty of attention. The crisp buzz can be heard a mile away on quiet evenings.

Cheers!

Just watched the video.

Badass!

man, keep the vids and pics coming, this is some awesome stuff

can you do the furby thing to a tickle me elmo?

Actually I had a jacobs ladder. Its really no big deal. Find a large boiler ignition transformer, mine was 10 000 volts, and make the rods out of wire coat hangers. Its fairly low amperage so its not even all that dangerous.

I could if I had one. I really hate those furbies though. I have a Voodoo II 8MB PCI card sitting on the table. :evil:

Ignition transformers are 23mA at 10,000 volts AC. Enough to shock you good, but not life threatening in most cases. When you're talking over 1 Ampere or 1,000 mA at 13,800 VAC, contact with the rods is lethal. We did connect a large sausage directly to the output and threw the switch and the weiner exploded like a firecracker spewing flaming flesh everywhere. That would be like a person shocking their...

Ok, shuttleteam, just WTF kind of research do you do?!?!

Currently working on a project that determines the detrimental affects of manmade acoustic energy to cetaceans near the busy coastlines.
