  • There was a guy in my HS physics class that built a massive capacitor… like 3 feet (1 meter) long. It was similar to EB’s “tiny” capacitor in that it was aluminum foil rolled up with wax paper as the dielectric. He charged it up, and because in and of itself the charging doesn’t appear impressive, he decided to discharge it… himself. It threw him about 7 feet onto the floor. The class was impressed, he was… ‘ok’… and I believe he got an “A”. Come to think of it… that very well may have been ElectroBOOM…!

  • That big shock, reminds me when I was under my desk unplugging a UPS to move it from my old power bar that I didn't trust and wanted to replace (it was rated for 12 amps, I prefer everything matches or is higher than the 15 amps of a wall outlet due to a fire in the past). The plug was being stubborn and I was twisting my body in an uncomfortable way to access it. To brace myself for balance I grabbed my desk, a steel desk, not thinking as I pulled out the plug and as it came out my finger slipped and touched one of the prongs. I didn't feel the shock in my hand or arms. I felt it in my chest back of my neck as that was pressed against part of the desk as well and ended up getting kicked back by it. My roommate was a paramedic and I yelled for them to come check me, said I took current across the chest and to give me a check over to confirm that my racing heart was just panic, I was having short term vision issues as well and wasn't able to move correctly and apparently had slurred speech. They looked me over and then informed me that it wasn't my heart that had them worried, it was that my breathing and voice told them my diaphragm was still acting up and my behavior meant my brain got some electroshock therapy. Took me 15 minutes to get to normal again. When I went back to work they grabbed a dog chain and forced me to use it to ground myself on the same arm that I was pulling plugs with.

    • i dont think he shocked himself on purpose in this video. High voltage at a point it gets incredibly painful and makes 120v and even 240v seem like a friendly flirt. i've been shocked by a capacitor circuit that felt like my arm was crushed. I could still feel it for hours as the pain slowly faded. it can cause some nerve damage as well. he gets squeamish in videos when he tries to shock himself on purpose. involuntarily throwing a screwdriver or striking a odd pose at break neck speed may be funny to you but its very painful and dangerous. it would be incredibly stupid to subject oneself to this kind of torture on purpose. if he said he's done it on purpose its likely not all true. its easy to forget a circuit is live when its doesn't do anything or while plugging it in.

Once the spark gaps fire and all the capacitors fall in series, and if capacitors block DC, (I'm trying to understand the flow,) how do the electrons pass the dielectric between plates of the caps? In order for them to add up, and even be in series!?.

Now it all seems rather clear to me :) What would be the impact of having capacitors of lower or higher capacitance if any though?

    @fmdj@fmdj Жыл бұрын

    • theoretically, assuming they are rated for the same voltage, larger capacitors can hold more charge and therefore will take longer to charge. The arc will also last longer, although it's going to be a difference of a split second to a slightly longer split second. the final voltage should stay the same. so pretty much the frequency of the system would slow down with more capacitance and not much else would change, assuming ideal behavior, but arcs aren't exactly ideal anyway.

  • In this or another video about this Marx generator you argue that the sparks in the gaps go simultaneously because the first one produces ionizing radiation. I think this can be easily tested by placing some 'walls' between the gaps so that the ionizing radiation cannot get to the second one and so on. I actually think the explanation is much easier: When the first gap jumps (which should be a little bit shorter distance than the others, the subsequent gap suddenly has almost twice the voltage it had before and is immediately bound to spark, the subsequent gaps increase even further step by step. This is why they all go `exactly` simultaneously.

  • I have 20x 40Kv TDK fist sized ceramic door knob capacitors that I was going to build a CW multiplier but never ended up building anything except for one single stage to test the concept. My input has sparks close to the size of the output on this video. The output on the single test stage is frighting so a 10 stage will be awesome! Perhaps a Marx generator might be the way to go as my road block was getting 20x 100Kv high current diodes to deal with the peak loads during discharge. There were some options but would have costed me many $1000s at the risk of still blowing the diodes up. The highest mA microwave diodes worked well but I needed like 5 in a string, so 10 per stage, 100 all up and again, prices too high to justify. I suppose resistors are cheap as though and could be the compromise I need to make me tinker with the project finally after 10+ years of having the caps in the box they arrived in.
