Mains AC Peak Detector

I have a motor that a friend modified to be synchronous, but when I tried it out it seemed like it was going in and out of phase. I put the Chronos into 50fps mode which seemed to confirm it, but putting a scope on the mains suggested the frequency wasn't quite as exact as I thought. So I made a peak detector and confirmed that my mains is roughly 50Hz, probably averages out to that, but when y...

Had the top of the Jacob's Ladder too close and it formed a permanent arc. It looked pretty cool so I got out the Chronos. I think this is my favourite piece of slomo arc footage so far. Hypnotic. Especially loving the shooting pulses you see go through the arc. Would love to know what causes that. Anyone got any theories?

    I suspect you do not have good coupling between the primary and all of the secondary. Try spreading out the primary turns. You could also use a series of well-insulated ferrite rods, stacked end-to-end, down the center of the whole thing. Don't use a contiguous core - use plastic insulation blocks to separate multiple short sections of rod.

    • @gristc

      Yeah, the coupling is definitely weak. I like the inductor idea, will give that a go.

    Absolutely beautifull!!!!! If I wanted to achieve a 4,000 volt output at a relatively high frequency of around 100 kHz or higher would I be able to use 80 tuns on the primary and 500 turns on the secondary? If that follows would I be able to use a 50 turn primary to get 2,000 volts output? It should be relatively simple however I am a chemist and not an electrical engineer..lol.......Thank you....

  • @electronicmt._.3138

    I think most of the power are gone in capacitances between coil and ground .just reduce the length and increase the diameter of coil and gain more volts.4000turns is huge,that should give a million of volt

    • @JenkoRun
      @JenkoRun 8 місяців тому

      The H/D ratio has a significant effect on the Q factor of the coil, the taller it is the more the electrostatic field dominates, the wider and fatter the more the magnetic field dominates, giving it a 1:1 ratio and a spacing between each wire of 1.5x to 1.6x the diameter of wire used will give it a far greater Q factor and a much higher voltage output for the same cost.

  • @Biokemist-o3k
    @Biokemist-o3k 8 місяців тому

    I am still working on the same device and I wanted to ask you about your switching the 2000 volts and what problems you had with the gap width. I like your idea of the rotary spark gap however I was watching Les's Lab and he was using a triggered spark gap at 100 hertz and lower to run a laser. How would I set up a rotary gap to perform at 60 cycles per second or 120. It seems that would be really fast or am I missing something?

    • @gristc
      @gristc 8 місяців тому

      The main problem was just getting the adjustment correct, so it would trigger when I wanted and not when I didn't. I'm having a play with a rotary gap at the moment. To get one that syncs with your mains you want to get an "induction" motor. They are wound so that the motor will always be in sync with the sine wave that's powering them. I am finding that mine (motor speed 50Hz so switching at 100Hz) seems too fast for this and am having a go at gearing it down to 20Hz. They're great for Tesla Coils though, as you want the higher frequencies then. Hoping to get some more time with my gap this weekend and make a vid about it.

      Hmm, I'm not actually sure. There are small plasma discharges from the corners of the plates, but the overall effect seems much larger than what I would expect from them.

  •  11 місяців тому

    Can you explain why in the images on the left the flow is not continuous and images in the right are? Is so counterintuitive I would expect for the plasma to flow in the same direction as the magnetic field in the first image where the north poles point left. That it would flow in a straight line. But seems that it flows in an opposite direction to the field. Then the 3th image where the left magnet points left and the right magnet points right makes no sense it goes in a straight line. Can you explain why it happens?

  • @InfinionExperiments

    Have you played with steam and high voltage? I'm reading a book The Fourth Phase of Water by Gerald Pollack and somewhere in the 15th chapter he suggests the vesicles that rise out of a hot cup of coffee or other warm body of water could be charged. It would be interesting to see how that could be manipulated in an electric field if it were true. How would steam from a hot body of water compare to the dense cold mist of a humidifier? Ultimately I would love to see the opposite of a Lord Kelvin's condenser, a sort of water-rising evaporator where sparks could be generated at the TOP of an apparatus!

    • @gristc

    Very nice video, if you have some time I would recommend looking up mr2tuff2 70kv salt water cymatics. In that one video at about the 30-35kV mark he got stable waves dancing above his bowl-shaped electrode. When he turns it up to 70kV things get wild. I've recently been consumed with the idea that some natural wakes in bodies of water, with clear enclosed regions of calm or rough wave motions and, indeed, the complex surface waves of the oceans are driven with a non-trivial component of electric forcing. I like your use of oil because the viscosity has the advantage of slowing down some of the faster transverse effects, like the initial impulse when the output voltage rises. Wouldn't be able to appreciate that nearly as much in water, I imagine. There's also the added benefit of not needing an acrylic sheet to insulate the opposite electrode. It's also interesting to see the HVDC off the needle create an exclusion-zone in the center of the oil. The surface of the plate seems to be covered with countless dimples that shrink as more oil is forced outward. Was there much ion wind from this discharge, or was this action mostly dominated by electrostatic induction forces, or something else? Last question, did you ever get the chance to investigate more into this?

      It's a pretty standard H-bridge driving the primary which you can find anywhere, and the other bit is a Rigol DG1032 frequency generator, so probably not much use for trying to reproduce it unless you have that or something similar.

    Lol nice, although You do know th That's probably illegal here in the USA Because that is essentially a giant RF Jammer. I bet that thing has some killer range too although you would have to get it to be more consistent by bringing the pipes together a little closer on the bottom. Also Eventhough that thing sounds knarly mean using Hollow copper pipes. If they were solid and not quite as tall. So it would not lose so much electrical current from the large area of pipe it has to electrify that it doesn't seem to want to travel that far and use anyways anmarc further distance and start itself But it would be a trial and error testing which variation in length and rod size to "v" distance from each other. Kk And a bit smaller it would proba
