By the way, you can calibrate this to use to measure peak voltages and such, I'll make a video soon showing how

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

Shango066 has a video where he ends up going through the "supporting levels" of vintage CRT's. Excellent video! If I recall correctly, horizontal drive is what drives the high voltage.
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?
thanks for the video i enjoyed it!!!
You are aware shattering the CRT like that releases a lot of toxic compounds, yes? Otherwise, good video.

can this be used in a radio troubleshooting lab for RF? i need an oscilloscope but they are way to expensive
Pretty cool bud.
that was fun.
It won't have any residual charge like that right? I am doing this for another project and I am not connecting it to power
Brilliant.
great brother
How much watt has the audio amplifier? I have a little 3 watt amp, but it's not working.
If you don't wanna have it laying on it's side and you'd rather just use the 60hz, you can just plug the vertical deflection out from the board into the horizontal coil. Also, I agree that the "safer" TVs suck for any electronics projects.
Love that pizza box!
Hi! Did this with a tv, after some time, the beam in the center of the screen created a small dark spot that stayed after turning the device off. Can it be dangerous to continue using it? I'm thinking it might have removed the safety layer inside and I'm afraid of the x-rays.

so basically you just wire a stereo to a decoder using vertical or horizontal lines to generate the image? seems simple enough.
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.

Thank you Keystone science I was building oscilloscope from TV to but it didn't work there's even video in my Channel but after watching your video I made it so it works. if there wouldn't be you I don't know what would I do So yeah thank you dude you are the best.
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?
@eljaygaming6292

the speed of the horizontal sweep is usually controlled with a sawtooth wave generator. i imagine the answer youre looking for is related to computing a value from there.
Why not make it horizontal?
@KeystoneScience

The scanning of the tv makes it very hard to make it horizontal, it is much easier this way

what if you swich the wires of te gray and jelow whit the blue and red you can rotate the tv to its original position an you dont have to conekt a second coil
@guskelty9105

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.

But switching* the* x and y is just* rotating the* screen* 90 degrees.* Yes but the scanning speed for X-X and Y-Y are diffrent. X-X scans faster then Y-Y. This is because for every Y incriminate it scans a whole row of X.

The thing that sincerely baffles me, is how many great electricians and engineers that make these amazing instructional videos and for some reason they all have the same flaw. 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?
It’s a shame braking a tv you can use it in the bathroom 😅 if you don’t have free space (I still use crt)

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

turn off the music
The clipping is annoying>.>

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!
what is point of this stupid music ?
Kill the annoying music!
@Keystone Science WTF!!!!!! Dude, CRT can implode!!! Smashing it with axe is dangerous!, you can get hurt rly badly!!!!!
@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!!!
