400 kV Tesla dropped in my mailbox today..

ebay item 141077605344 it actually works, so far as tested, already makes a strong noisy spark at 1.5 V supply. Will have to wait until I am finished with all those charge sensitive things on the table. Hope what is there still works...

This is not your normal spark, that is for sure.

What do you plan to do with it?

I love the translated description:

"The battery can be discharge intensity violent"

The rest is equally good :-)

Gee, where did you get it? Any idea of the circuit? jb

Chinese volts have about the same relationship to ISO volts as yuan have to euros.

I guess if you power them from batteries, you could put an indefinite number in series.

Supposedly 25.5MV is the record, so somewhere between 65 and 1000 of them should do it.

You could make a Jacobs ladder.

I looked up the store and found this follower:

Ive always wondered if that kind of voltage would travel through a water sp ray. I have a water atomizer - ultrasonic device. If a circuit is not compl eted, at least one could expect that the individual water droplets would ge t a charge. And what about steam? Could a super steam cleaner be built, tha t penetrates better?

What happens if you create a field in a room and tune it to the alpha and b eta rhythms of the brain?

...and the (VOLT) supply does not catch fire either..

I measured about 800 mA at 1.5 V, did not go higher till now. Could be several amps I'd guess at 3.3V.

I have been hit by 25 kV color TV sparks, you say 'auch'. I'd rather not be hit by this.

Well AFAIK its AC so you would have to sync these somehow, or wait a long time for the tops to co-incide.

Mount on a drone and spark planet earth, now there is artificial lightning. :-)

I once connected a 1 kV 8uF to a small indicator neon bulb, the glass exploded, was lucky not to get it in the eyes, it had a double glass mantle. Forgot the series resistor (as a kid).

Yeah, I plugged one direct into a 240V mains socket, I wanted it brighter.

And it did get brighter...

It's probably much less dramatic. Color TV was DC from a capacitive storage thing. This little thing is probably high frequency AC, so you might not feel anything but a little thermal effect.

This is *not* going to be anything close to 400 KV. Maybe 40.
