Vin attempts to simulate a grain silo explosion with flour and a high voltage spark generator. He fails and has to resort to carburetor clearner. More deals, reviews, and buying guides.

Learn how to create a high voltage generator using a flyback transformer’s ferrite core. This step-by-step process involves assembling a circuit with MOSFET z44, tip122, or D880 to boost voltage ...

You’d be hard pressed to find a hacker or maker who doesn’t have a soft spot for the tantalizing buzz and snap of a high voltage spark gap, but it remains the sort of project that most of us ...

In the photos above, the measured voltage is 17kV. The spark gap width (i.e. the spark length) is measured as just under 5mm. If we apply the formula for a 5mm spark gap, we get 3 x 5mm = 15kV.

The high-voltage source is symbolized by a current generator. This approximates most practical high-voltage generators, which have a large internal resistance. 1.

High-perf HEI modules offer dramatic amperage increases over earlier systems and can now deliver a hot spark through 7,000 rpm. A CD system is designed to overcome the high-rpm limitations of an ...

Inergy's new 2 kW portable solar generator uses Transphorm's GaN to increase power, reduce weight, and eliminate the fan for a truly rugged device.
