[br]I have recently detached a HV anode suction cap from a computer CRT screen and had a little fun with it. I did this experiment.

Aaron says you need 40KV; well my flyback gives out about that much by looking at the spark length in still air. When I did this experiment the tube didn't light up! Whats wrong? I also tried another experiment and put a few flakes of aluminiumm foil on top of the pizza tray and watched them float away with a little help from my screw driver.

I have been shocked only once by this experiment:
The spark leaped to my finger from the pizza tray and went out through my arse[:I] and feet to ground through the concrete under the carpet. [:0] My mum got shocked before me and the exact same thing happend.[:D] I knew it wouldn't hurt us or else I wouldn't have done the experiment. But anyway we had a very VERY good laugh.[:D] My sister noticed some smoke comming from my mum's bum when she kicked the pizza tray away in fright. However i didn't see any smoke but we still lauged. [:D]

Kidies be very carfull with this experiment. I used a drill battery operateing a 230VAC inverter to provide limited current to the monitor.

Oh and yes I am nuts, I am an experimenter. But never put youself in danger unnecessarily. Always be planned if something goes wrong.

Aaron Cake	Posted - Dec 21 2006 : 09:11:54 AM That's the best kind of gas.
wasssup1990	Posted - Dec 20 2006 : 10:39:01 PM Ok, i'll make sure my gas becomes exited then.
Aaron Cake	Posted - Dec 20 2006 : 09:38:05 AM I didn't use the multiplier for the light bulb thing. The light depends on the high frequency to excite the gas.
wasssup1990	Posted - Dec 19 2006 : 5:57:58 PM Oh yes that makes sense. Didn't Aaron use a voltage multiplier? That would have rectified it for him. I think I need more voltage; hmmmm, wait until I build a 3 metre tall tesla coil and sit on top of it. LOL
cirvin	Posted - Dec 19 2006 : 06:47:23 AM It's rectified voltage source. You need alternating current to make that work.
