Starting from scratch, building HV power now

Post by PazHeping »

Hi All,
I got here from ion wind experiments. I had been playing with those HV modules from tasers and was getting some good purple plasma and nice Ion Wind. My power supplies kept zonking out though. But instead of dropping 3k on a nice entry level glassman supply I decided to build myself.

Currently I've got a NST going into a CCW in a jar covered in oil. It's working but I'm waiting on a Gohm load resistor from Mouser to smooth out my HV,,,about 40kv is all I'm running right now.

My goal is just to get a nice solid HV that I can run pos or neg from. I don't plan to go vacuum for a while or even get any heavy water for a couple years; just reading about what people are doing and getting inspired.

Anyhow, glad to be here.

Thank you,
Paz
