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...

The amount of science and engineering in this video, just blows me up! Even more when you played the Zelda song!!!

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

11 ай бұрын

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... love the idea of a Play at Your Own Risk sign

Large capacitors are dangerous because they can supply very high short term powers and raise the current even in high voltage systems.

Joining the chorus. Electrician here. This is scary to watch lol. Legit incredibly dangerous and reckless. That voltage is HUGE. You need some serious purpose built dialectrics. Im SHOCKED youre not dead. Frikin amazing to watch though. Please don't die. FYI burning wire insulation is very toxic. Nice introduction to the channel lol

@@nikola119 It does make sense. Voltage is simply electrical pressure, you need high voltage to be able to transfer electricity through the air (not a good conductor). Ignition coils/spark plugs in cars are in the region of 14 thousand Volts, it will give you a small shock but it wont harm you. It doesn't take a lot of Amps to cause damage to someone but for electricity to kill you need a high enough voltage to push the electricity through the natural resistance of the human body, and a high enough current.

You should put the on/off switch on a piano foot peddle that requires constant pressure down remain powered on - also a acrylic or glass shield between you and the hammers probably a good idea lol

@patrickmartin3322

Yeah, a some sort of shielding should definitely be added, and a dead man’s switch would be a very good idea for something like this

If you ad a little spike in the metal sheet and on the hammer head, you should hbe having an improvement on arc quality and stability. Remember electrons will try to find the shortest route to the other surface so by doing that you can control where the arc will start and land.

@DoctorMandible all metals are electrical conductors. Everything is good as long as it's more conductive than air. You don't need copper nor silver (could actually be better tho) and I don't recommend aluminum 'cause it could melt or worst, vaporize and become toxic. PS: I think you confused magnetism with electrical conductivity xd

Pro tip: don’t test with the palm down, because if you get shocked your finger might contract and push *harder*. If you feel palm up (as weird as it is) you are way less likely to get stuck.

It sounds surprisingly good man. You've officially created an acoustic synthesizer and it's awesome

I've never seen such a high ad density on a video before

What makes your channel impressive is not the engineering, or the project ideas them selves, though those are definitely not slacking, but you dedication to actually making it function. Most people would have given up long before making it as far as you did. Would be awesome to see a digital instrument like the real hammer piano so others could develop music using your terrifying creation.

Good job with the piano. Maybe having strips of metal for each key and having taller glass will help. Also more insulation on the bottom of hammer where the screw exactor at would help from it arcing into the piano and shocking you.
