    if you can make a vr headset, no need for audio. just plug hdmi into pc, no android required, ill pay you for it. gotta be under whats in the market of course. and try mimic the lighthouse tracking that htc vive has. Its way better than IR positional tracking, a little anyway.

    i was attempting what he did, ended up getting shocked twice. Apparently the hole where the suction cup was plugged in held a charge too so when i went to wipe the dust off the back of the tube i got a good jolt. then i tried making an arc like he did when he unplugged the suction cup in the previous video and it ended up jumping from the ground wire i had to my hand instead. even more involuntary arm dancing

    Hi, I just completed this project, and it worked like a charm- I loved it... until it tried to kill me... (Not really). I was playing normal songs and using a frequency generator when the tv suddenly screached at me- it sounded like the flyback transformer. It was a sudden, very loud, continuous high-pitch sound. I unplugged it immediately. Any idea what happened? Is it dead? Thanks!

    However, if you mean to say what does it do within the TV, it applies a high voltage field across a near vacuum of the CRT, and so this way, the electrons with a negative change are driven towards the positive side of the TV, the electric field causes the electrons to accelerate to a very high velocity, so that when it collides with the phosphorescent screen, it will be enough to create photons of visible light converted from the energy of the electron :)

    Hey man! I’ve been searching around on the best ways to do this, I think my tv is one like yours, any other ideas to remedy the “protection mode” it goes into since the video was made? I don’t have another tv to sacrifice 😓 Currently I have it set so there’s both wires from my stereo speaker outputs, hooked up to both the horizontal and vertical coils in the tv Whilst leaving the flyback to charge the tube of course, if you have a chance I’m going to post exactly what I have currently on my channel for reference, but I really like it how you had it going! Truly what I was aiming for initially. Was the audio from your stereo just coming from one speaker positive and negative?

  • @davidroberts1852
    @davidroberts18526 жыл бұрын

    The reason that the TV didn't start up with the same amount of resistance in resistors as the resistance of the coil, is because of the inductance of the coil. The coil will limit current by using power to drive the magnetic field associated with it. Resistors won't do that, so you'd have to use something of equal inductance.

    Hello, Keystone Science. I built one of these oscilloscopes this afternoon; easiest electrical build I've ever done thanks to your video. But if I had an input signal and wanted to determine its frequency, how would I go about changing the speed at which the electron beam zips back and forth across the screen, like a "real" oscilloscope? Could you cover that in a future video maybe?

    I believe it is with the way CRT's create images by 'scanning' the beam across the screen. They scan top to bottom - left to right. The left to right scanning was probably just to fast for him to properly display audio frequencies so he used the top to bottom scanning.

They have advanced knowledge of circuits and signal processing etc... and for some unknown reason THEY ALL CANT FIGURE OUT THE AUDIO FOR A YOTUTUBE VIDEO! Either it’s clipping to shit like this one or its way too quiet. You see crazy $ put into a scope or tools, and they couldn’t hack together a decent mic and preamp? And also understand what hard clipping is?

    So... when I got this tv, it wasn't working. I learnt it was a simple problem with the flyback Anode. It was misplaced. I basically put it on the right position, and turned the tv on. It worked properly! Well, at least for the next 2 minutes, hehe. I turned it off, and when I turned it back (actually, just plugged it on the outlet, and it started by itself) it behaved like yours. It took some time for the image to appear, the image presented those diagonal strips, and after some time it would turn itself off. That's all I know... Hope I can still save this tv for useful experiments! :D

    Be forewarned TV'S can provide FATAL doses of electricity, They operate with high voltage even in what may appear "safe innocuous places" even after being unplugged. The hi capacity capacitors hold charges for lengthy periods of time. BE CAREFUL. Always unplug, let TV sit for at least an hour, then discharge the capacitors. Discharge capacitors with grounded screwdriver no bare metal where you touch the tools. Always use grounded electronic tools- rubber grips on handles (minimum, use best insulated tools you have). If you don't know what I mean by anything written above leave TV alone! Don't take it apart. Again take extreme precautionary measures. High voltage can kill!

    @Keystone Science BTW that set was way smarter then you, becuase by shutting down after messing with HV saved u from exposition on X-rays!!!! Yes, CRTs can generate X-rays when you set too high anode voltage too high!!!
