I love this sound!

i appreciate that you actually show people that are gonna do it on how to do it safely without killing themselves on accident.

Bro dont stop makeing videos, i have made so much stuff with the help of your videos!!!

ahhhh beautiful!!

Video is even more awsome than I thought it would be! Very awsome results.

Even a pinhole in a glove will allow HV through. That's why the bucket for electric company lifts don't have drain holes. You can try to slightly inflate the gloves or fill with water to check for pinholes. I think electric power companies place the gloves over a metal test jig and rub the gloves with a soft wire brush to test for leakage. A local company would probably show it to you or "maybe" even let you test your gloves.

Or better yet, don't rely on insulated gloves to handle HV. I don't think they act as a proper extra layer of protection, its just hindrance to fine motor skills and might give false confidence, is better to simply handle HV in a way you aren't close to contacting it.

Wow! Now those are some arcs!

Hehe ótimo vídeo!

Cool!

u should make another one

Very nice, also I aprreciate the fact, that you are one of the few channels that mentions the impotance of eye protection.

Yeah it's not as hot (not nearly as high of current) as a welding arc, so you're probably not going to get "sunburned" from it, on exposed skin, like you would from a welding arc, but there's still enough UV, and visible spectrum brightness, to be bad for your eyes.

yes,these arcs emit enough UV which is able to let me smoke the ozone a few meters away.

I know right. i've seen alot of channels that don't even use goggles. some even do arcs with salt which is much brighter and still don't use goggles. even sunglasses help a bit

@@HoorGuvLabs True, but welding goggles or even just some bare welding filters are still a lot better. Personally I use a shade of 10 to 11 for single and dual mot arcs.

Can you make easy high voltage supply

Do you need those capacitors? What are they for?

This is what Mike mad man markham set out to make until he hit it with a laser and apparently created a time machine

cool - lets say one wants to make a ladder with 12KV/60mA NST but would like to make an acoustically resonant tube/box to enhance the sound - would it be best to tune the box to 120Hz? I have basically no mobility as have not driven for 25rs but some years back there was a storm brewing - I was in a parking lot adjacent to my house with friends. A shower of sparks came off the power lines about 50 feet n front and to the left of me - then an orange ball floated across the road and past a rat road in my driveway . There was a narrow path between the car and part of a hill. That ball appeared to be perhaps 30 inches in diameter. I knew it ws highly unusual but those with phones/cameras didn't care. I walked with a friend back to my house and past my car and right behind us was a second ball - somewhat over head and 10 feet behind which dissipated in a flash. What I thought very interesting was there was a "zaaaattttttt' sound like one cycle of a traveling arc. Why did it have that 60Hz sound vs the crack of static electricity? There was no smell of ozone. I wondered what might have happened if the ball had made contact with us.

im sorry but your comment really made no sense at all. why would you want to change it to 120Hz? higher frequency is only useful for lower saturation so you can use lower turns at 120v or use higher input voltage to get higher voltage output. and at the last part it had that 60hz because it IS 60hz? i just dont understand what you're talking about

@@trenthighvoltage JL have been built to acoustically resonate at 60Hz - I'm not talking about changing the mains frequency to a transformer but wondering if the acoustic output of the rising arc has a lot of harmonics which could excite a resonant chmaber

You should try using a candle at the bottom of the ladder to enhance the distance the high voltage can jump and like that you can make it start on its own. I did the same thing with two transformers at "just" 4200v and it egnited reliably. Here is a video if you are interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h42JsJh_e9DRctI.html Also your production quality is insane! Keep up the great work!

Cool idea, makes sense, thanks for sharing. And thank you, I really appreciate that!

That is so cool!!! But are you sure that you run it in resonance? Becaus you use two of these fucking awesome HV Caps, one with 2.1uF. You have bove in series, so at least your capacitance is around 1uF. In my opinion this is way to low. Have your try to run your setup with caps in parallel? Keep going man!!!!! Love your content!

Thank you, man! It's probably not really operating at resonance, true. I originally tried it with a 2x2 series-parallel array of these caps, but interestingly it performed worse in that configuration than just with 2 in series. I was surprised by that result, myself. I thought 2x2 for an overall capacitance of 2.1uF would be best, but apparently not. The 1.05uF that I ran it with here is probably too low though, I agree. All of these MOTs are different models so I don't know what their inductances are, but they're probably all different. Would be interesting to measure them and see what the right capacitance for 60Hz resonance would actually be. I also just need a better transformer for doing this in the future, haha. One of the MOTs burned up it's primary, as you saw. And the rest were getting really hot too. I need to get my hands on a "pole pig" instead 😉

Link to the huge capacitors?
