      I don't think he can die from those arcs, the transformers in old TVs have too low amps to kill you. It's unpleasant to get shocked but not a real problem. When I was a kid I used to unplug the high voltage terminal from the screen's hole and hold it in my hand and my hair would all raise up from the high voltage. I occasionally got shocked when the current arced to other components but it wasn't bad, it just stings and may leave a burn mark.

    This was a really amazing result.
    It's a bit late now, I guess, but if you ever do work with high voltages like this again, I would highly recommend powering everything through a foot-pedal dead-man switch (instead of just a power strip). Not only would that have made it much easier to quickly turn everything off every time things started misbehaving, but it makes it far more likely that if you actually do get electrocuted in some way, your foot will come off the switch, which will automatically break the circuit and you might actually live through it instead of becoming paralyzed in place by the current and slowly cooking like a hot dog...

      Essentially it is a synthesizer though. The computer is making a different tone (electrical pulse frequency) based on which key it detects moving. The piano element of it is purely aesthetic. As he showed early in the video, the sounds could all be made by a single hammer. Aside from making the sound through arcs instead of speakers, it would perfectly fit into the definition of a synth.

    I would suggest reducing the hammers diameter around the nose to a point rather than having them big and wide like that. Then you could use Kapton tape to wrap each one before mounting them back on, leaving just the tip exposed.
    Finally, you can mount sheets of mica (like those you find in toasters) between each hammer like you did with the acrylic. Not only will the mica sheets perform better, but they don't burn.

    • @ruxleec
      @ruxleec Před 11 měsíci +20

      And the mica should be taller so your hands can trust your eyes at the sight of seeing the heights of the arcs, the height and intensities of the arcs should equate to forte-piano, but holding key-presses down shouldn't lead to arcs criss-crossing or leap-frogging... then invert the code (if you have not already as you have more than noted that resultant quality) that the QRS optical sensor strip mitigates or cuts off so that the tones sound voluminous to dissipating so your muscle movements and reactions synchronize with your senses and physical transpositions
      along with adopting the hammer designs of the recommedations above from the Nonchallant Shallot, consider fixing the hammer heads (lower surely) at a sharper angle so the arcs can be thrown to their wiles and the whims of playing upon the key-presses, results would be like getting a bigger display screen, that the actions of the hammers are moot or niche for the actions within the arcs themselves
      but moving parts are mesmorizing
      as well, eye-candies
      clean it up and it's a remarkably enjoyable thing you've got, maybe not so much wire length throughout the system? or at least insulate [the majority of] them appropriately... would resommend insulting each key-press set for maximum playabilities in terms of hours and long-held key-presses ...
      before the CoVid, some cities and urban areas had pianos around randomly in public spaces that passers-by could stop and tickle the ivories a bit, a while...

      Voltage don't kill but current does. That's why extremely high voltage with small current is not as dangerous that many thinks. It can cause burns and damage the nerves but most likely don't kill. Still there's a reason to be careful because you can't know what kind of currents systems are capable of putting out. Large capacitors are dangerous because they can supply very high short term powers and raise the current even in high voltage systems.

      @@teropiispala2576 This is a common complete myth. Voltage or current do not "cause" anything. For ohmic systems, they are a relationship I=V/R. High voltage systems are absolutely dangerous, as are high current systems. If you think high voltages aren't dangerous, open up a CRT monitor and read the dozen WARNING: RISK OF DEATH stickers on it. Because it's using the same component, a flyback transformer. As for low voltage systems, take a look at all the warnings on your arc welder even though it's only 20 volts.
      Anyone online who tells you MAINS connected electricity isn't dangerous is a liar of negligent proportions. You do not mess around with mains without planning and knowledge.

    Thank you, Mattias, for single-handedly repairing the hole in the ozone layer... Seriously though, this is so amazing and it sounds unbelievably good! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
