A thing of great beauty, love how the arc burnt out the connections and the CFL falling to total destruction, you made my day! I love your HV rig, the insulators are great, job well done. Thanks for uploading this video!
The smoke makes some pretty interesting patterns as it leaves the capacitor, lots of little waves and rings. I can just imagine the smell of smoke and ozone hanging in the air afterwards. Also, awesome HV setup you have there.
Nice curly smoke came out of the formery transformer on this PCB. Very nice. Hope you had good ventilation so that you didn't breathe in the mercury vapor.
Haha...!! The noise of You walking on flip-flops and Your happines saying "excellent,excellent, excellent" s' the best part... by the way; I'm from Argentina, my wife don't understand a word of english and look at me with big eyes everytime when I' unplug something while I' say "De-Energize device"... :p
Merry Christmas for You and your family too...! By the way; ¿is it possible that in some of Your posts I'heared You was speaking some of Deutsch? Oder nein?
I've seen those silly electronic ballasts they stick in CFLs go up in smoke just like this, at only 120 VAC. Ironically, it was the ones the local electric company was handing out to customers. No doubt they weren't the highest quality.
Not sure how you hooked this up, looks like you connected one side to the CFL lamp and the other to a point on the inverter board. Maybe you can try connecting straight to the wires going to the CFL bulb and slowly raising the volts until it pops. I can run one of these bulbs from my arc lighter.
Making insulators from plastic discs as sheds joined together doesn't work well outdoors or in the wet. The problem is even the slightest micro gap between the spacers and the discs is enough to cause tracking. Moisture gets trapped between the plastic parts and tracking eventually will start up the middle between the discs and the spacers. The only way is to make the complete insulator from a solid block or melt the plastic parts together to form 1 piece. The problem gets worse at 6KV and up.
I was thinking that once the electrodes at the end burn out and the tube looses its gas its all over, to continue to fry the tube a very high voltage may work. The idea is to drive the tube to failure and when it looses its gas the arc continues anyway as you have 200kv+. the arc continues inside the tube as it was already established there. This would only work with 2 or 4 ft tubes, not cfl as the tube ends are too close together.
Beautiful, I Read Somewhere Those Bulbs Have Mercury In Them So I Was Careful Not To Break It When I Was Taking It Apart To Build A Joule Thief For My Saltwater Graphite Lead From Pencil And Paper Towel And Tinfoil Free Energy To Light Up A Led Light Indefinitely I Saved The Videos To One Of My Playlists

Dude, you make my day!!
+LakeNipissing This lamp performed very well. Hope to have a repeat performance again at some stage.
I like how the smoke is modulated at 50Hz lol!!
I tyuu and my friends and 0:10
Sounds like 12.5 Hz (6.25 FPS) in slo-mo

+rustymotor Thank you Ian, for your kind words.
+RODALCO2007 so the bruised bulb isnt harmful for health? (inhaling)

Nice slow mo of the smoke on the first one. Great video!
I love how as the fire heated the wire that it was hanging from, it sagged due to the metal softening.
Brilliant! I love when the MOT tree comes out to play =]
1:40 You POPPED ITTTT..... lol i love your channel and photonicinductions channel!
Awesome vid looks and smells good.

+Alejandro Martin LOL !! thanks, the CFL overvolting job was very well executed. Merry X-Mas from New Zealand

SigEpBlue GE Biax CFL lamps really love doing that
Excellent, the video wouldn't have been complete without a smashed bulb.

That was awesome.

When the top becomes the lamp
Epic! Love the green Perspex insulators too! How do you join them together? Are they insulated against each other or just on a main bolt?
+CAL'S ENGINEERING Direct on an M 6 bolt. I have 11kV rated spacers in the wooden crossers.
RODALCO2007 ah OK. I suppose it would work a bit better than the ceramic ones you used to use
I must say I rather like the sound of the slowed down 50 Hz AC at 0:23 - 0:40. It's kind of like a cute scratching sound.
In slow motion, look like it's 12.5 Hz (because of the 6.25 FPS)
Nice one Ray that's how to treat those crappy CFLs bring back real bulbs with filaments in
+jon johnson Agreed.
Awesome :) Thumbs up :D
Alex
realy bright

+M Walton There is hardly any mercury in these, there is more Hg in a fluro lamp.
i wished that cfls had bullet proof glass
1:35 lamp ceases to operate normally
1.45 dont breathe in the murcury
mercury lamp, it is not dangerous? Greetings!
I don’t think so because they 0:18
Put up a good fight!
I swear I can smell that.
oops!!
1:40
Nice how the little smoke rings were in phase with the AC supply!
how many volt and amp does it take to distroy one of thoes lamp?
+Astetanium 82 About 4 kV and 0.5 Amps.
Лампочка же ртутная😱😱😱
WTF did that cfl ever do to you!?!?
screw you!!!!!!!
