Hey folks! We have taken Grant Thompson's microwave transformer Jacob's Ladder to the next level with a complete liquid cooling system to give it a 100% duty cycle. We found that Grant Thompson's design was great, but allowed the transformer to get way too hot. Because of this, we could only run it a few times before having to let it cool down. With our small and inexpensive liquid cooling system modification, the transformer stays nice and cold! Make sure to subscribe for more :)
