DIY Overclocked Plasma Globe. 2500V to a MILLION volts

- What started as a simple desire for a brighter plasma globe got carried away and I ended up building a million volt lightning tower of death.

I would love to give a big thank you to all my Patreon supporters. I would not continue to make videos if it weren’t for your generous support. I have yet to take a paid sponsorship and rely totally on donations and overlay ads to support these projects.
I found a good deal for some plasma globes on eBay so I went ahead and bought some. Sure they were interesting, but I quickly realized I needed something much more powerful. After trying the aluminum foil arc trick, I got bored and took it apart. I tried various modifications to the driver, including a MOSFET based interrupter and a ZVS flyback transformer circuit. I even tried using some way overdriven car ignition coils but still was not satisfied.
I decided I needed to build a multi-kilowatt tesla coil in order to properly drive the thing. I mean it was Nikola Tesla that invented the plasma globe, so this was the only method that would give his invention justice. I used a quad MOT, asynchronous rotary spark gap based topology. I needed 10 microwave ovens to build the fully ballasted power supply, and most of the other stuff I found at the hardware store. I did need to order capacitors and a secondary coil online.
The resulting plasma globe was satisfactory. Giant arcs shoot directly out of the glass. Other plasma globes and light bulbs in the vicinity light up due to the extreme electromagnetic field produced. Plus, most importantly, it can light things on fire. Today I have done something good, and I will sleep well tonight. Tomorrow though, and it’s on the next project…

styropyro im sorry about your cat
hell yeah. thank you for the effort you put into these. truly amazing. sucks youtube is such a slave to ad monies it has restrained you. perhaps gab, bitchute, or another up and coming video platform could be useful if you get enough patreons in the future.
You sir are incredibly intelligent and incredibly insane! Lol. You mess with a force that i have feared my entire life and you do things that I cant begin to understand with it. I enjoy watching you do these things from the safety of my phone. Lol
And could that coil operating outside like that actually comnect with a person who may accidentally walk within a certain distance? I mean if they just happened to get too close could it strike them as if it were a bolt of lightning? I know i sound like a moron but im not a genius like you. Haha
I know this is fun to you, but I want to tell you something.....
You are making science cool little homey!
You can't know the countless times you've affected people's lives. It's almost guaranteed that someone will watch your vids and totally change their lives!!
That's special. That's cool.

This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. My grandpa and I were gonna build a Tesla coil one summer but time got away from us...he passed in 2019 but he would have loved your videos. He was a HAM operator and built/maintained all his equipment. Wish we had found the time to build that coil...could have made something this cool.

That was amazing. Thank you for the studying you did

Why Does It Feel Like This Bill Is Too Small?
"For military use only"

Lol
I think those are mostly for commercial products meaning you can't use this in a commercial product because it's intended for military use
*Proceeds to build something more dangerous than a bomb*
lol
I mean just think you're an American cuz then everything that's for military technically is for you too. Bill of rights and also taxes yk

Just hearing that coil warm up is terrifying 🤣
You are just fantastic! My first electric creation consisted of building a Wimshurst Machine which produced sparks some five cms long. Of course that wasn’t enough! I wanted bigger, longer and brighter sparks, so I built a much larger Wimshurst Machine and managed to obtain sparks some 20 cms in length. Surely, I thought, there was something bigger and better, for my whole aim was increasing spark length, so I read about Tesla Coils (You must know I was only thirteen). I built, from scratch, my first Tesla Coil which certainly increased spark length to my utter joy. This was followed by a few more of even larger size. All this happened years ago, no, decades ago. Now I have the joy of seeing what you have achieved which is mind blowing. Many thanks for your fabulous videos

exactly.... these days if you do anything that requires you to use more then 2% of your brain... your automatically up to know good. i had an old lady at a cvs acting like i was trying to get things to cook meth all because i asked for a graduated cylinder.... was mixing my own ejuice... she said if the pharmacy does have it they wont sell it to you! needless to say i went back and asked them myself if they had any..... you can order the fucking things off amazon.... and anything you can measure in a graduated cylinder you can measure in a normal measuring cup..... but all because i described a different type of measuring cup.... her simple mind immediately assumed it was for something extremely horrible and acted like it was something that could not be sold... when the local krogers pharmacy said they have them for sale and i was just not near the krogers at the time. people are fucking stupid these days. god forbid you know something they don't....
it makes me want to go back there and ask her if i should act like shes trying to cook meth for having a measuring cup at home for measuring out sugar for the pie she bakes.....
btw me and a manager at krogers had a good laugh about it while he helped me find a fucking measuring cup that measured in ml's.....
