Euh, as I thought, the Jacob's Ladder looks like a "local" term... I'm having a hard time finding it using google :? :roll: ...

Not at all, a google for "jacobs ladder" finds 142,000 hits!. The one at the top of the page explains all you need to know!.

Haha, very funny fact: my problem was the apostrophy :? :lol: ... It was directing me to non-related websites... When I took it off, it found the horror-like moives stuff... Pretty cool, actually...

What's a flyback transformer?

 

[danielsmusic]

a flyback transformer is like any other transformer exept it has something in it that makes the seconary coil spike insted of a continues output (hence the name "flyback") it is used in tv's and computer moniters to get the 30Kv needed to get the radiation. i hope this is right but i don't know much about them.

Zack!

Elsewhere you were wanting to cure the ignition noise etc on your CB.
What the hell do you think this would sound like!

Ha ha! yup, very true :lol: i wasnt actually serious about doing it. You know what is odd? There is a fry's electronics store right by where I live and out in the front they have two MASSIVE jacob's ladders (50ft tall) with an arc that stretches about 3 or 4 ft. Funny thing is, they have no faraday cage on it! Its just encased in glass that is tinted, maybe to keep UV from getting out or something. Hmm, maybe it is lead lined glass.

Same as the frys by my house they also have something else in there that is crazy but I forgot what it is

You don't like my jokes about USA?
Tonight's American news reported that a lot of the looting in evacuated New Orleans after the hurricane was done by their cops.
They stole a generator and fridge from a hospital to keep their stolen beer cool. They got plenty of Rolex watches and other expensive stuff.
It is not a joke! (but I am still laughing)

But they will also have to steal some fuel for the generatoir from time to time.

They were seen and reported to the highest authority - rest assured.
