High Voltage generation (Voltage Multiplier / Transformers)

- A Video about Highvoltage Transformers and Voltage Multipliers.
Also a correction. The breakdownvoltage of air is 3kV/mm
Notes on the Voltage Multiplier:
-The capacitors need to be rated for at least twice the inputvoltage.
-The Diodes also should be rated for the same Voltage.
- I used two 82pF capacitors on each step. (more capacity increases Spark intensity)

You can pull around ~2kW of power out of a MOT, but the bottleneck in your system is the capacitor impedance at mains frequency. I'm assuming you're in Europe so you're running 50 hz. At that frequency you're unlikely to see more than a few milliwatts from the multiplier. Ironically, even though your flyback transformer is way smaller than your MOT, it would probably push out more power / larger arcs, because its operating frequency is likely to be in the tens of khz range, which would make the impedance of your multiplier circuit dramatically lower.
Either way, good video
Yeah i used the fact that the impedance limited the power of my circuit. Using the full power of the MOT would have obliterated these tiny wires as the arc would erode it away and after what happened to electroboom im glad to have a capacitor between me and the transformer. Also the capacitor u would need are enormous. This was more to demonstrate the behavior of such a voltage multiplier. But yeah If more
Power was desired one could either increase capacitance or frequency
@@bootlegengineer they dont have to be enormous, the capacitor used in voltage multiplier in the microwave oven normally is a around 1uf and can fit in your hand
This guy is like the opposite of ElectroBOOM. 😂
Sadly i have not yet mastered the Technique of nondeadly self electrocution. Plus i dont have fancy eyebrows like that :o
@@bootlegengineer lol
@@bootlegengineer Eye brow*
Good work
Keep it bro nice ❤️
Keep it up sir make some more videos about electronics:)
That’s cool
The capacitor size is why your output is low. 50Hz would require over >1uF of capacitance per cap for a reasonable current output. Caps that size would look more like soda cans.
One question, can you give me the description and the link of the diodes?
Safety stick = Karton xD
If it wörks it wörks
@@bootlegengineer cardboard is NG (No Good) bcs it can get humid and become conductive, use just plastic, plus that pair of pliers are no good again to retain high voltage, the haldles have just a thin layer or rubber
Nice video bro
Is oil better than saltwater?
Salt water would be a poor choice as the natrium and chloride ions that are disolved in it make it very conductive. What you want her is an insulator like mineral oil / epoxy resin
🤣
lol maybe pure water if anything
