    Tesla coil

    Tesla coil

    Those are the multiple spark gaps. Basically several electrodes that can be adjusted for gap. Here's how a tesla coil works. Power from wall (120v) goes into a step up transformer. 120v turns into ~6,000v. At the same time, capacitors are being charged up, when they peak, an arc travels...

    Tesla coil

    You should hear my laugh when I'm behind a belt fed.

    Tesla coil

    Gloves are only rated for 26,500v. I exceed it by about a million.

    Tesla coil

    I just posted a video of a power pole transformer I was using to do that. But here's this coil popping me through a tube. I'm just happy I didn't scream like a little girl.

    Tesla coil

    I'm sure the next one I build will be a cause of interference. I'm going to use this power pole transformer I have for it. Because I already do stupid stuff with it. (The beeping is the UPS for the computer gear freaking out about undervoltage since I'm pulling god knows how many amps)

    Tesla coil

    Then I have to deal with a dead body.

    Tesla coil

    Never was into any dungeons and dragons or any of that crap. I just like science. And I'm learning about high voltage, capacitors, and other such items, to build a rail gun....

    Tesla coil

    Have more tuning to do, but it's working good. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

  10. Cb gear

    Just thought I'd share some of the things you can do with a ham license. Just worked Dallas TX with 5w of power. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

  11. New to Ham Radio

    There's a lot of good points made there. Basically it's going to come down to checking everything from the radio out to the whip, piece by piece. And SWR IS affected by overhead wires, metal buildings/structures, power lines. (My SWR increases in my Jeep with my Yaesu 857 on HF if I park...

  12. Cb gear

    No no no, you've got it all wrong. We need to run 10kw to talk over everyone we possibly can so we don't have to worry about things like that. If anyone is interested, I'd be more than happy to get you involved in ham radio. Running a CB with a huge amp is like trying to spray a target down...

  13. Drones....who has em?

    I bought a Phantom Pro 3 last year. I might have an hours flight time total on it. Got old/boring to me quick.

  14. Any other Ham Radio guys on here?

    I'm not one for china crap. But I bought a 30amp switching power supply from ebay for like $25. It's a metal box that you have to supply a cord for, but it's worked good and can dial in the voltage. I know it can cause birdies in some setups. But I've been using it with my FT-450 fine.

  15. Any other Ham Radio guys on here?

    That's a slick setup! How well does it tune on 2m, 6m, and 10m? (That's the only real places I could use it for now)

  16. Any other Ham Radio guys on here?

    I'm very pleased with my Yaesu FT-450D. $700 for all the HF bands plus 50mhz with 100w and a auto tuner (well that isn't all that great it only tunes 3:1 or less SWR).

  17. Any other Ham Radio guys on here?

    Let me explain my analogy. Drive to fast, wreck, harm someone else. Point? Rules/laws were there to help limit the risk. Transmit on wrong frequencies, impact some guidance or telemetry system, plane crash or something bad. Again, rules are in place to prevent that. I don't blindly believe...

  18. Any other Ham Radio guys on here?

    I got my ticket a few months ago. KM4KRG. Yeah, we should also be able to drive whatever we feel like speed wise right? I should be able to fly anything I like as well huh? I should.... get the picture? All of these things, while seemingly aren't a big deal, can impact others in worst...
