I don't know why, but I love EMPs and EMP generators. In the last few years, I've showed you how to build all kinds of EMP generators. But there are a few methods which we haven't tested yet. And I don't mean EMPs generated by a nuclear bomb or a flux compression generator. There is another method ;)

Excellent video Leon, this build was super fascinating! Now I kinda want to make a flux compression generator...
Thank you Bro!!! Haha yes, would be very interesting! But first I need the 50kV 0.5uF cap ;)
@@Teslaundmehr You might already know this, but it looks like you could get around one hundred 400V/47uF capacitors on eBay for $25 USD. Put in series, that could be a cheap way to get a 40kV/0.47uF capacitor bank! Even buying from Mouser or Digikey, it looks like you could get away with such a bank for around $100. Something to consider!
@@LabCoatz_Science That is actually a good idea, I have 200x 400V and I think 82uF or something. The only problem would be the High Inductance as well as the resistance. But I should definitely try it out!
Yes you can cause those vaxxed with Graphene Oxide to stroke out on command
Is that his name Leon?
Hello.... I've been experimenting with exploding wires for about 10 years. My current (no pun intended) setup uses a 100 uF/4KV oil-filled capacitor. The kinetic energy during discharge is about 800 joules which produces a very bright and very loud discharge, similar to a gunshot or large firework. I live within a residential neighborhood, and so I must attenuate the sound as much as possible so that my neighbors won't call the police thinking someone was shot! I recently got hold of an old satellite TV dish which I plan to use as a focused EMP generator. If I can excite an LC circuit at the focal point, I believe that I'll be able to transmit an EMP pulse several meters (maybe wishful thinking!). I'll let you know how it works after I build and test it. I love playing (safely) with this stuff!
Oh, by the way, PLEASE make sure that you have plenty of ventilation while vaporizing metal wires especially wires made of lead or other toxic metals. Breathing metal vapor is VERY bad for your health! Thanks.
Hey,
thank you for your answer, that sounds very interesting! Please let me know about your results! And yes, you are right. It's very toxic. I only vaporize lead free solder ;D
This. All metals are toxic if inhaled in vapor form. Especially aluminum. It's well known to cause a variety of serious health issues. Play safe!
Not to discourage you, but we have discharged 40kv into different coils from 1-10 turns and had a pop can inside it. The actual transferred magnetic energy was just about able to deform the can ,nothing more. Even if you would be able to have a fully resonant circuit, all you would create is a good ole sparc gap transmitter. The microwave dish will do nothing to focus the energy it would need to be vastly bigger since the main energy of an EMP is between DC and 100Mhz, a wavelength of 3m and up.
Definitely he needs more inductance
Hi, what do you think would have happened, if Leon had arranged the exploding wire in the form of a coil?
"it's not necessary, but looks cool"
You know you're building something awesome and doing it right when you get to say that!
I fell down the DIY EMP hole a few years back, but never knew of the exploding wire method.
Great video, i enjoy your content!
Thanks bro!!
So, basically you are just shorting the capacitor... What if attach a coil and use the emf to destroy stuff? I mean.. It would be fun ig
Yes, that would also be very interesting! At a voltage of 1.8kV more efficient than wire Explosion I guess...
short it through a pancake coil to keep a flat-ish field front?
Teach me
in my best beavis voice, fire fire fire
Would it be good for taking out spying drones? I feel like we need that to protect our homes these days. Shotguns can be dangerous, not so bad with bird shot but still dangerous, while a directed emp weapon with a range of 150ft or so would be completely safe to human life
The silver wire exploding that glowing green was gorgeous!!! I have experimented with HV for a long time and I still get nervous around MOT's. Stay Safe My Friend...Good Job!!!
Yees man, looks like aurora borealis ;) I agree, mots are not a toy and I have big respect while working with them. An Isolation Transformer is a good Solution!! Thanks Brother, you too!
You must be terrified of a HID light then.
I think it would be worth trying different thicknesses of wire as well. It is possible that the reason you are not getting a very strong EMP is because the wire is blowing too quickly, so it does not have time to establish a really high current (and thus high magnetic flux) before it is interrupted and collapses. I suspect there is probably a "sweet spot" for wire thickness and materials that will maximize the EMP output in this setup, which also likely depends on capacitor size, inductance, etc.
It would probably also be worth actually measuring the capacitor voltage before and after to see how much of the energy from the capacitor is actually being used when it fires (this would require disconnecting your power supply before firing the gun, and just measuring the capacitor voltage directly (you can use the discharge resistors as a voltage divider and tap into them to get a measurable scaled-down voltage reflecting the actual capacitor voltage)).
lol, I used to do this all the time testing Thyratrons, 40kv and 2x 20uf (40uf total) capacitor discharged through a second thyratron that switches the full energy to the wire within micro seconds, faster than a spark gap. There was never any "usable" energy for an EMP recorded during my time of testing (10 years doing it up to 5/6 times a day) The first thyratron has to fire in the primary site when it detects the arc in the secondary. To do this, the capacitor is fully charged and then disconnected from the source. Those oil filled capacitors can hold that charge for a year without bleeding down. They are about 3ft high, 6 inches deep and 20 inches wide, weight around 100lbs. The power supply is used in a 100kw transmitter running at 40kv plate voltage. and the Thyratrons original function is to short the HV if there is an arc detected on the line that feeds the tube in order to protect the tube and remove the energy available from the supply. 2 of them working in tandem are fast enough to protect a tube that would cost close to USD 150K . We only tested the functuon of the tyratron not the circuit so we dumped the condensator energy into thin wires and created basically the same as they used to do in old flash bulbs for cameras in the 60s and 70s only our wires were only a few inches long. I have been as close as a foot away from the wire behind plexi glass with all kind of sensitive equipment and never had a problem. We measure energies over a vast frequency range from about .5hz to 1Ghz. Btw, your parabolic mirror is only for show, it doesn't do crap at the frequencies the main energy wave is produced. It will do a little above about 1ghz, but the amount of energy produced at those frequencies is minuscule even in our setup. The noise we produced, well lets say it is quite loud and can scare the bejeezus out of some unsuspecting people even a few hundred feet away. Sadly, high power thyratrons are rarely used anymore as modern low energy power supplies are protected differently.
Thanks for telling your story, sounds very interesting!!!
That first pull of the switch was hilarious! 💥 Great video and channel.
I'm learning how to build one of these for the AI Wars that are coming up assassin Bots you know the whole takeover scenario
That was really fascinating tbh, thank you for sharing!
Thanks 😁
I got a cap bank made from old soviet oil capacitors. They are from old radar equipment and had an initial rating of 10kV and 0.5uF. A friend replaced the oil for me and they are now tested to 110kV but you have to submerge them in oil for that. I only use mine up to about 80kV. Any more and it jumps over between the contacts. I never charged the cap bank that high though... 30kV is already loud enough to make your ears ring with ear pros on and you feel the shockwave. The cap bank has currently 3.5uF i think... works well for exploding 0.2mm wire. I never tried any other type of wire and all my cameras also still work but i could try it out again...
More Flashlamp than EMP but still cool. And I somehow like exploding wires with a capacitor 😁
Haha yes you're right 😂 But I will try to get the 50kV 0.5uf cap!😎
@@Teslaundmehr ka warum mir das gerade jetzt einfällt, aber: niederohmige Kohleschicht-Widerstände und diese dünnen Graphitminen für nachfüllbare Bleistifte 😉
Haste mal einen Draht in einem Glas Wasser explodieren lassen? Nichts besonderes oder? Mach das mit einem Kohleschicht-Widerstand (~1-10 Ohm) und das Glas platzt.
Hi Leon, this is an extremely insightful study - my question to yourself is what is the amount of power in (AMPERES) that the EMP Gun is pushing current?
Voltage and amperage are crucial in generating the pulse .Also you have a conductor running across the reflector re absorbing the energy being created it will produce counter emf into your rectifier bank
Thanks for the Information!!
@@Teslaundmehr run the 2 leads out the center of the reflector in parallel with a coil of wire between the 2 posts .you will have to adjust how far out the leads must be to propagate the wave front .there must be no conductors of any kind infront of the focal plane other than the filament to be vaporized
@@carlubambi5541 you will never harness enough energy. because the available pulse has such a wide frequency range and your coil only sees a small sliver of it.
@@germanjohn5626 .Always wondered how frequency would affect the pulse .Unfortunately only DC is used and there is no way to modulate the dC pulse either the pulse is positive or negative that's it .When using a Tesla coil to generate an emp,Or a tazer it's different you are using an alternating energy pulse .
@@germanjohn5626 It's true ,but every known device made out 8n the market today will 9noy be affected by specific frequency impulses You don't hit the right frequency the devices don't see an overload .It's funny how tela coils can take out loads of electronics and at the same time some electronics it totally immune to its impulse
The moment we can build these into mobile anti drone weapons, can't come soon enough
Im wondering why you used that kind of reflector, will it really work with those frequencies?
It was a very inspiring video wanted to try to build it myself and was wondering what are the specs on the fly back transformer, ZVS driver, and pulse capacitor? Just wanna make sure everything is compatible any help would be appreciated. Cause I had already built the dolphin flashlight one, but was very weak, but your videos look very promising.
Awesome video!
Personally I want to build one of the EMP devices that works from collapsing a conductive cylinder thats between a magnetic field. Using a small explosion to collapse the cylinder to have a smaller area which the change in area causes an induced current and results in an emp.
Thanks!!! That sounds good, I guess that would be a small flux compression Generator?
@@Teslaundmehr yes! I believe that’s what it’s called. You probably have made a ton of videos on it before but for some reason the algorithm is just now showing me your channel for the first time.
I have a degree in physics, love Tesla and build real actual working Tesla Turbine Electric generators for a living… I’m literally your target demographic. what was YT waiting for? 🤭
Anyway, I could complain about the suggestion algo all day long, but for now I’m just going to go watch your other videos!
Share a few links if you have a few good ones that ya want to expedite my search process.
Again, love the channel! Keep up the good work!
@@Teslaundmehr I gotta brush up on my German so I can watch through all your videos, vielen dank!
I remember reading something about this kind of idea, but doesn't the wire being exploded have to be part of a magnetic coil? (The idea was to have an energized strong electromagnet short out or shunt in some fashion.) Not sure how you could work that out on this kind of setup?
Yes you are correct with the key word being the wire being exploded... I don't think he got the correct information about how this works.
using a coil of wire instead to increase the em field, based on the em feild produced in those coil shrinking devices, and the lower end can cutters. both create a lot of EM that would just need to be directed.
Yes, and your 'mirror' didn't look very ferrous, also consider making a wave guide
*EMP Gun?* If something electronic has been hit by an EMP blast, is it damaged forever or will it eventually revert back to working normally?
That depends on how susceptible it is to power surges and magnetic fields. Most chips or anything that requires you to be cautious about static discharge will likely be irreversibly damaged. Though you may get lucky and it attenuates to a filter circuit or capacitor in the device that can absorb it.
Knew this was available if needed. Good for drones. Nice build.
I think the EMP needs a very short thick wire lead and a thick wire coil as well. The entire line from the condenser to the dish is a coil. Also, the capacitor must have a small ESR.
Straight out of the 2004 book "Electronic gadgets for the Evil genius" - First time I've seen it on CZcams though. One of those real expensive kits from "Information Unlimited" (If I remember right).
Yes, I actually have the German book ;)
It'd be really great to see you do a collab with photoinduction, preferably by an offshore wind generation faculty with access to the main line to shore!
That way you're far enough away so you don't fry your neighbor's stuff, and it'd be a fun way to use up all those extra MWh we don't have the batteries to store yet!
Just don't get struck by lightning 😜🤦🤷😁😒
I'd not heard of the exploding wire method, excellent!
Thanks, in one of the next videos I will use a real pulse Cap ! (50kv)
Hi Leon, I am subscribed to your channel and am interested in your videos, which of your projects could I use to disturb my neighbor's loud speakers who always has the volume very loud?
Thank you.
Chuck Norris got one of these as a gift, in case he needs reanimation. He uses it to light his cigars.
haha :D
Hey thats a very cool project! I was thinking to do it and found your video which is SUPERB. Thank you very much for sharing :)
I liked your design and its very helpful. But I was thinking that, for the parabolic antena to work, you should match the design to that of the wavelenght of the pulse. Diameter should be 20 times the lenght. Also I think the exploding wire should be at the focal point ;) but barely starting to think this out
Großartig und dann noch unterschiedliche Materialien aus probiert 👍🏼
Danke dir, ja, ist wirklich sehr interessant, wie unterschiedlich die Explosionen aussehen ;)
The easiest way to build one is a spiral line flux compresion generator. It does not use anything special, just a jelly roll capacitor with 8 to 20 extra turns in the middle well insulated as a spiral. It gets charged up and discharges with a fast switch like a spark gap. The current becomes a time compressed pulse of about 60nS because each turn halves the discharge time and multiplies the voltage by 2. Then have the discharge travel through a shredding element like one of those DTV antennas at the focal point of a dish and grounded through an inductor with all of it in transformer oil. The mode broadening by the antenna decreases the pulse time to less than 4nS 😲🤓😎❤
That sounds very interesting! Thanks for the explanation!
I used to think I was smart and knew cool shit? But them the Dunning-Krugger effect kicks in...... Like just now?
And it's at that moment that you realise you are not cool and you don't know shit!
This is criticism gladly accepted. May I come here every to remind myself from this day forward. Forever and ever Amen!
"Military EMP" unable to stop a phone sitting on it 😂
You could use a larger transformer, capacitor, and transmission cables and determine the emp by the thickness of the exploding wire.
Is your oscilloscope still working... no? Well your EMP generator has worked successfully.
Well as a young electrician. I once was part of a rew that by accident t created ball lightning. All it took was two opposing 10 000 amp DC supplies and an oops on two wires. Also about 6000 volts . You can get the same effect with a submari e battery ... it is almost magical plasma churning about in a ball ...just floating hitting ground and gone ..Ah that few seconds of WTF will never be forgotten . Take care .
Your clapped out old S8/S9 looks just like my old one lmao, the things go forever but im glad i upgraded
Wow this was interesting. I've never seen this method before. When the magnetic field collapses and induces a high voltage it is capacitively coupled to the other end of the circuit even when the wire has melted so there is an RC time constant that will limit the max voltage you reach (not sure if I said that correctly lol). Maybe a higher voltage capacitor is all you need (what about the capacitor banks from a SGTC).
Also most of the electric field is near field radiation so I don't think it can spread far outside the wires when the magnetic field collapses.
These are just my thoughts. I really enjoyed this video
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video ;)
@@Teslaundmehr You're welcome also well done for getting sponsored by JLC. I'm a big fan of your channel and have built my own tesla coil!
i love the melancholic music in a military related project haha
Is there a way that I can build a small EMP device that can destroy a LED street light that is preventing me from seeing stars from my yard, something that I can raise on a wooden pole so that it is close to the street light so that it fries its electronics?
Excellent, I've been needing one of these.....
hehe thanks!
That does look like the thing Doctor who built in the MacCoy years :). Actually I think it was for the same thing - to knock out Dalek systems in the fictional version.
I have been saving microwave parts for 10 years waiting for this video
"unfortunately the phone still works" Kills me lolol
In the 90s i came across a book that listed a lot of high voltage projects from a mini rail gun, wire exploder, and jacobs ladder and stuff like that. Its been a long time but they wanted to use about 300,000 volts and two giant capacitors for this projecr. I was a teen so i didnt understand most of it, the only thing i did knkw is that this would likely kill me if i ever thought of attempting it.
Anyway, i want to say they said the effective radius was something like 10 feet, and they also wanted to use 3mm wire no more than 2cm long.
I built a Van De Graaf generator couple months ago just for fun. It doesn't produce nearly the amount of power your EMP machine does, but it shuts off computer monitors nearby. I was quite surprised by this considering that the generator was poorly made and it was quite weak. It can only produce 1cm very skinny disappointing sparks. This would make it around 30kv. Despite its shortcomings, i was able to wreak havoc on computers. Watching your results makes me wonder that maybe it's not necessarily the wire exploding that produce the desired effect. My guess is that it lacks the high voltage or the surface area.
1cm arc in the air is more energy than a 1cm arc between 2 conductors
"Unfortunately, the mobile phone still works." LOL! Truely an engineering geek!
Keep at it. One day we will all be saying "Amazing how well it works."
How can obtain longer distance with this ?
Will be interesting to see what you do next.
I will build a real one, I order a 50kv pulse Cap ;)
I think the metal ions in the vapor cloud might be absorbing much of the EM pulse and converting it into visible light and heat. I don't know how you would get around that with this design.
Another thought, use that compact fluorescent bulb *AS* a helical antenna (for the operating frequency of your target), the current and magnetic field should go up as quickly as vaporizing a wire could make it go down (because plasma).
If the bulb survives, maybe it could be used in repeated pulsing mode!
The problem is that they are normally filled with mercury :(
@@Teslaundmehr true, even though the quantity seems small compared to all the other metal and metal oxide vapors you breathing from the wire vaporization (Seldom 100% pure Element)
I'm sure they're comments section on CZcams we probably flame you for that one!!!
I'm sure you can get neon or helium or other gas discharge tubes without Mercury, just would they be available in a helical shape? A high intensity Xeon discharge tube intended as a pump for a pulse laser would fit the bill, but that might be too expensive...
You wouldn't happen to be friends with some glass blowers or maybe a guy with a good vacuum pump?
@@williamwilliamson1096 absolutely!!!
...glass blowing , custom gas mixtures, custom tube sizes and shapes, high voltage transformers, vacuum pumps...
Someone who makes custom neon signs would be the *ideal* person to partner with to make such a plasma antenna!
Hopefully you know someone who would be interested in doing any of this?
Leon pulls twine rope and ends up being transported to the year 35,000 where he discovers that using twine rope was the problem.
Science! AM I RIGHT!
ROFL
😅😂🤣😁👍
Haha that could be the Problem ;D
I'm surprised you didn't dig up any of the work los Alamos labs did on helical flux compression generators. There's a wealth of practical knowledge there.
A mini supernova! Would that just be called a Nova? Micro-nova?
Is there a method to get it actually strong enough to disable electronics? I mean you can probably make it stronger by experimenting a bit,but won't get it strong enough to disable electronics.
you probably could get better output and range if you used amicrowave transmitter
Yes for Sure! ;)
Awesome build!
Quite the friend you have to let you borrow that big capacitor! Hope you repaid with some beer or something, lol.
I look forward to your next video/project!
Yes youre right! I'm absolutely appreciate the friendship😁👍🏼
Thank you for your support bro!!! Hope you will like my next Videos!
@@Teslaundmehr I'm quite sure I will!
use a multi stranded wire of different metals , as each metal "pops" it releases a emp .... the effect is multiple emps spread over a longer time period than one single wire based emp
Suprised that you did not try graphite rods ie pencil lead the thin ones 0.3-0.5mm It has alot of cool/intresting uses. You should try a thyratron for less losses. Cool video keep up the good work!
Cheers!
Thanks! I will try it!!
Have you ever built a bucket capacitor? I think it would be much less expensive and work with higher voltages.....
guy online built one, said its good for 14kv at around 12 f
I was waiting for your video
Thats good bro ;)
Not a emp but a old fashion giant camera flash
Haha yes :D
tbh, this can be kicked into high gear using basic physics. if u use proper induction and set the phase to 90degrees, u will eventually get a proper phase shift. which will exponentially increase your voltage needed to create efficient emp wave to disrupt electronics
Now if that capacitor was much larger and the wire much longer, and that wire was wrapped around a shaped charge, you would really have something.
Am i right in saying that In theory the collapse of the electromagnetic feild works similar to a pistol shrimp cavatating water generating force? Can resonance amplify this somehow
You should rent a surge tester, like Baker DX, or better yet get one with a power pack that goes up to 40 kV with considerable current.
Also a very good Idea!
What can you do with it ? It couldn't upset a mobile phone.
I wish I understood electrical engineering, but I’ve lost any faith in my ability to learn it properly 😂
Thank you for explaining.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice👍
Interesting! I do have one concern, which is that you can see carbon on the nuts that clamp the wire. This probably isn't happening at this scale, but if you make it larger, make sure not to use galvanized hardware to ensure that you aren't vaporizing zinc. That shit's bad for you.
Thanks for the information!
I could get a real view from such a wire explosion setup 40KV and 10µF. Let me tell you let alone the sound which is extreme even with earbuds the whole building shakes like on a medium earthquake. Oh I forgot the extreme light from such an aluminium wire even If you don´t stare at it. Really cool stuff the pulse capacitors are worth the money ;)
That sounds amazing!
Does it work for invisibility capes …transporter device kits

I think was it In the Movie DUNE" hahaha
🤣
Using a helical strobe tube may be self destructive but it will provide the coil discharge effect needed to produce a more effective pulse of EMP. As in any coil, there will be more magnetism produced with more turns. Watch yhe Oceans 11 movie, they had the right idea, discharging through a gas tube that was coiled around another. Both in reverse polarity to each other creates a huge push of the magnetic wave propagated like smashing objects together at high speed, the compression doubles the force. There is always a direction the feild propagates out each end of the coils so experiment with turning the core in relation to the reflector.☠🤯
how can you be certain that your emp is contained where you need it ? I think it would prefer getting out where the inductance is higher.
Hey,
so normally (when you have a big Cap 50kv 0.5uF) you turn the exploding wire into a small coil. You know what I mean? (round about 10-20 turns). This coil than explodes. We than have a kind of exploding inductor. Haha maybe I have to mention that in the video ;)
@@Teslaundmehr nice ! Have you thought of using a small torroidal core ? I know it will blow up but it may increase inductance where you need it ?
What if you discharge that capacitor into the magnetron tube of the microwave oven, that the transformer came out of?
For this we need a pulse magnetron, but that is possible!
Low frequency EMP like you have made will not damage Electronics. The LF will not couple enough Energy into Electronics
4:15 i think you can build one with the help of PET-A foil.
But kind of huge in that case.
Photonicinduction has what you need !!!!.
Haha yes, he definitely has some big caps :D
What are the applications of this device?
Nice video, thanks.
Destroying Vehicles haha ;) Thanks!
About 45 acrylic sheet caps, 100x100 cm, each 3 mm thick, in parallel, will give you 0.5 μF, 50 KV. That's a few hundred pounds.
I dumped the capacitor into a piece of wire wrapped around a piece of iron and fried simple devices. If you want to make plasma make a basic rail gun setup with the projectile having a low melting point but has enough properties to make the magnetic field.
Uh *MiLuHtArEe GrAyDh* ... (mouthbreath) ... *EeHyEmPeE* (wheezy mouthbreath)
Look out! There won't be an unlit florescent tube within 5 whole feet of that thing I bet!
Can it generate 100 terra watts? I need to point it in a certain dircetion
I can't believe how much the plasma cloud colors totally match the elements
Yes, its amazing! I wich I have some other metals to test, maybe in one of the next videos ;)
especially copper [Cu], or? 😊😅😂
Try putting the cell phone at the focal point of the parabolic dish.
Some r new to learn explain components value name for easy to make.U r excellent.
Why not use an inductance coil on the exploding wire circuit to further boost the voltage?
Because than the frequency of the oscillating circuit than drops to much.
@@Teslaundmehr Hrmm.
Should be a way to compensate, if you're trading amps for volts.
Please do a follow up and put alloys or contaminated/doped wires in to try make a better supernova 👍
"I built a small experiment that demonstrates that the concept of a Military EMP gun is definitely possible..and create a bunch of sparks and pop noises"
What. MV should I need to shut down a city?
And it it was set off 100 feet above your head what would happen
would it be stronger if done in a vacuum? Maybe try exploding an old-school tungsten filament bulb.
hmm I think the effect would be the same...Why did you think so?
Leon, I think you are approaching this the wrong way. For example, you have a spark gap in the antenna (the fuse wire after it blows) in series with another spark gap. Think how much energy is wasted in the second spark gap. Do you really need it?
I don't see why you would need the fuse wire. You could simply replace it with a normal spark gap. You would initiate the discharge with your mechanical high voltage pull-switch.
You might also investigate whether a NEON POWER SUPPLY might be useful. Available from Amazon and eBay, these cost 42 GBP. The input voltage is 230V ac and the output is rated up to 10 kV ac. They are intended for continuous operation.
Also you can obtain "High Voltage Pulse Generator Coil" modules for less than 10 GBP. I think they work on the principle of the Tesla coil.
Can this disable a Suicide Drone approaching towards you?
you shoul use a ccoper metal plate and the electricity shoul be changed the frecuency i dont remember if the lower frecuency or the hight frecuency travel longer distances but they use for a devide for library speaker that travels a like laser diode led so the explosion by the spark in the concave cooper disk and the frecuency should make it travel longer distances and combined with hight voltages very hight combined with magnetism like microweave cooper chamber inside the microwaeve kitchen device
Why didn't u replace the thin strip of metal with a large thick coil instead ? I think that would work a thousand times better.
Yes in this setup a coil works much better. But my Intention behind the video was to explain the wire exploding method ;) with the right setup the wire explowding method is much better
@@Teslaundmehr u should remake it with a bigger coil in the next video 💯
Have you thought of using a high speed rotating magnetic field to focus the energy from the plasma discharge and make it into a beam? Kinda like a quasar, but on a tabletop!
there is no plasma involved, smh - this is a basic capacitor unload hack
@@willyd61 ?
my point is there is no plasma involved with this setup.
@@willyd61 right, what I’m trying to say is it’d be sweet if there were.
This is so cool!
i mean as a kid i would vut a powercord and connect just a strand of it to another powecord with a switch and would blow up wired like that for fun, ir id use a bit of aluminum foil wich made some nice sparks
