  • Need a high voltage capacitor? Then look no further! You could make a Leyden Jar, but why not something with 10 times more capacity and smaller?

      He can tell by the violence of the spark. The loudness and brightness increases with voltage, and he has worked with high voltage enough to recognize roughly the range of the spark.
      Make no mistake, that hurt like a bitch getting shocked by. That is stun gun territory.

      Vanlalchhanhima Vanchhawng - 🔴 Theory has its place, but not as a primary source of information.
      I agree... how something works, verses what we can do with it, is a lapse in teaching.
      I like using the Leyden jar concept in the form of a large PVC pipe. It works far better, no water is required, and it’s easy to install aluminum foil on both the inside and outside of the capacitor.
      Not to mention that the dielectric properties of PVC is extremely high. Making it ideal to build capacitors with.
      A series of these advanced capacitors of six or more at 18” diameter by 36” length, is ample to generate small balls of lightning. (Ball lightning) when applied correctly.

    Used to make capacitors from baker's foil and landscaping plastic. Roll into a spiral, then stuff into a pipe suck the air out, and fill with transformer oil. Worked nicely for tesla coils because the foil ends were combined to form a lug on each side. You can also make a spiral line pulse generator. Just roll as normal with the inner portion having an extra 4 to 18 turns of foil inside. When discharged the current wave becomes ultra high voltage.

      Wouldnt a full roll-over edge be better? That would prevent the charge from ever getting to the actual "edge" where it can unintentionally discharge, right?
      It would discharge/flow back to self before it ever made it to the edge to build up enough to cause the discharge we are looking to avoid, perhaps?

      Some dude in my country experienced the same on his shack, as a rodent had died inside the electrical cabinet he touched. He was permanently paralyzed except for one finger + eyelids. His interview was carried out by asking him "Is it A, is it B, is it C etc, and he'd answer "yes" or "no" by blinking once or twice to form written sentences.
