content: Hello AllJust wanted to tell you a little about my high voltage, Tesla coil and general electronics website. 8 years of projects and dataIt contains schematics, pictures, instructions and videos of 10 Tesla coils of different topologies, a DRSSTC design guide on how to chose components for building such coils. Another 10 smaller high voltage related projects, 3 tube amplifiers, many online electronics calculators like IGBT gate drive, transistor base resistor, MMC calculator and single layer coils. Theory pages with data lists, file archive with a good collection of application notes. General electronics and everyday experiments.Website and blog:https://kaizerpowerelectronics.dkYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSukTlgTEWiL-sl0UeYeJvQ/

content: A new article has been added that describes the thoughts, design, construction and test of a very high impedance primary circuit QCW DRSSTC, where the voltage ramp is coming straight from half wave rectified mains supply and a mains synced interrupter is used to trigger at the right interval.The article covers the fall pits and strange behaviour of Tesla coils driven in this manner.The project is highly experimental and the results were not as satisfying as expected, but problems with switching transients was a much bigger issues than initially thought of.Read it all, see all the pictures and view all the videos at:https://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/tesla-coils/kaizer-drsstc-iv/

content: It's better now, but since you asked, I'll put in my 2-cents... You look a little rigid and need to loosen-up a bit. Also, stop looking up to your right before cutting forward. Fasten your eyes and maybe experiment to see how a brief mischievous eye works for your style (you may not be comfortable with that so try what works for you - but be sure to hold the eyes till the first cut).Since HV is kind of risky and exiting stuff, a continuity of background beat music is catchy (volume and edge should suite you not anyone else). Raise and lower background volume to not compete with voice-overs and effects. Since it's short, make sure cuts are fast with some light-flash cuts and definitely in-sync with the rhythm.Maybe some help here.Lastly you may want to cut down, break-up or even lower the long spark sound at the beginning, since noisy intro's get old pretty quick when returning to the channel (but it could be just me the semi-retired schlager musik fan).

content: Thank you for the feedback.I know I am a little stiff in it, I think it comes from English being my 2nd language and maybe a little stage freight, handheld camera as I do not even have space for a tripod in the cramped labSo I spend too much brainpower on keeping camera still enough, to keep my head in the shot etc etc. I never make a script beforehand, I do retake some scenes, I often feel the big disadvantage of being alone to do both experiments and filming, its hard to do both really good.I do try to be more happy, less dry in my speech and so on, but damn its hard when it gets technicalProblem with music and youtube is that they will almost instantly slam you with a copyright claim, so I just stopped using it, maybe once I build my sequencer/VCOs I can make my own, but it will hardly be any good. Even royalty free music / commercial free music does not go free of this.I made that splash screen with spark sound as my trademark, as you have seen on many videos, lowering the sound and shortening it to 2 seconds will be tried in the future.

A new powersupply from a HP server will be a fire-hazard reducing upgrade compared to the original undersized and over-specified power supply that came with the printer.12V @ 62A is of cause much more powerful that needed for the printer, but this will keep the fan spinning at minimum speed. You do not want to be in the same room as a server power supply running at full current output with maximum fan spin. It is like a jet engine.

content: There is a huge difference from the very cheap 8x8 pixel thermal cameras, to the 32x32 and up to the 160x120++. The price seems to quadruple with the pixel count. In this video I am testing the HTi HT02D Thermal camera that I was able to get at 100$ on offer. This is not a paid/non-paid advertisement, my own money, test and conclusion.Best bet to find these at a decent price is to run through ebay and send off a lot of "make offer" of 100$ on the 150-200$ auctions. But is it worth it? Lets find out!

This is a system that is about 8-10 years old and had a new price of around 1000000 DKR (166666 $US).It was all unloaded in a big mess into a container and I only had time/space to take a blade server, all power supplies and fans with me.

I wanted to include safety features like fault detection and emergency stop, but I also wanted to remain galvanically isolated from the mains supply, as it is the case with the interrupters and controllers that used a fiber optical link. First I want to design a fiber optical link with a encoded signal, so that only a specific signal would make the safety circuits resettable. Secondly I also want it to be tolerant to failures, miswiring and if there is a fail, it should fail to a safe state.All information, schematics and pictures:https://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/power-supplies/tesla-coil-soft-start-safety-box/Part 7 of the Tesla Coil Show Controller with safety transmitter:https://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/tesla-coils/6-channel-drsstc-show-controller/

Historically CATV is short for Community Antenna TV. A large receiving antenna was used and a cable connection ran out to every house in the neighborhood. Each house had one of these amplifiers. The return path amplifier can also send some of the signal back into the line to keep the signal good enough for the next house.

I got to film its last ever public show, as an re-opening of the museum, might not be what it was originally when it closed.

content: How far can we push a 3 phase 415 VAC rated power factor correction capacitor? The answer is: 1250 VDC far! We can push it pretty far and get some literally mind blowing results. I put together a capacitor bank of 20 capacitors, weighing 25 kg, a behemoth. Metallized Polypropylene Capacitors, the MKP type, is notorious for high voltage handling, self-healing when abused and very high dI/dt pulse currents due to low ESR.

content: Imagine yourself at a point opposite of the light source, and it would look like the "shadow" of a black hole.I filmed a water whirlpool in my garden fire pit. The sun was almost right above me, making the whirlpool cast a shadow. Despite similarities between whirlpools and black holes are generally disproven, and that they are very distinctive phenomena, this video kept bugging me for 3 years and now I'm releasing it for all you, to give your thoughts

content: I noticed that racing sparks have burned themself into the surface of the varnish on the secondary coil of my first DRSSTC. This Tesla coil have seen the most use, both indoor and outdoor, have experienced lots of racing sparks and despite the abuse, runs very well. On a cold day, I breathed on the secondary coil to check on a mark in the varnish and I was surprised by the amount of burned in sparks that appeared!

Science Pavillon is a initiative between CERN and Niels Bohr Institute, with a joint effort to teach science to the young people attending the Roskilde Festival. I was hired in to do Tesla coil shows, mounted on top of their tent, for 3 days in the warmup of the festival. That is also why this post and video is marked as sponsored content, I was hired in for the job, but got this leftover kit for free.List of components used:https://kaizerpowerelectronics.dk/electronics/building-the-cern-nbi-geiger-counter-kit-teach-your-kids-electronics/

In this application I will say its purely marketing, as HVAC industry is mostly based on cheap prices and drives are marketed specifically with low prices to this and maybe focus on high efficiency at low speeds.

content: This is a teardown of a complete x-ray system, with control panel, x-ray head with high voltage transformer and collimator. The Philips Practix system is a mobile system, usually mounted on a trolley, with the x-ray head on a separate arm assembly. It has a large and small focus fixed anode X-ray tube, the maximum ratings are 100 kV and 25 mA. The change between large and small focal point, is done by mechanical switching inside the tube.
