Indoor Lightning! YIKES!
    #5414207 - 03/17/06 06:34 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I've been meaning to build an electrostatic lifter, but haven't had time to bother with rolling garbage bag capacitors and such. When I saw this thing on Ebay last week, I had to have one: 100 kilovolts! That's enough to ionize air at 10 centimeters!





Check out the wicked video. The EM pulse from this thing was strong enough to reset my computer monitors over and over every time I turned it on! It filled the room with ozone and scared the shit outta my cat too.  :whoa:

3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

No, the electromagnetic pulse from each spark clobbered the monitor's electronics hard enough to make it reset itself over and over until I turned off the Tesla generator.

Oddly, it didn't seem to bother my camera at all. I guess it's better shielded. :shrug:

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Look up a schematic and DIY it. Radio shack still sells most if not all of the parts you'd need. Enclose it in a case from a radio kit and wire up the components on a peice of perfboard.

The hard part is making sure it's well grounded and safe to use.
