'ello everybody
I recently acquired a broken tv from my friend. In that Tv is a flyback transformer, which means high voltage, which means i would like to make a jacob's ladder :lol:
There are three wires coming out of it:
1. 40kvdc red wire, suction cupped to the crt.
2. 20kvdc white wire
3. 3kvdc white wire
The transformer is connected to the circuit board in 10 places, in a circle. The connections are also numbered . . . if that helps?
Questions:
1. The wires say that they are DC, will DC work with making a jacob's ladder?
2. Which wire should i use? I would like to use the 40kv one :twisted:
3. How do I connect it up? Ground to one side of the ladder and the 40kv (hopefully :twisted: ) to the other side?
SAFETY:
1. Don't touch it or get near it while its on (duh). The spark can jump to you.
2. I hear that this thing makes ozone gas, which is not good to breathe
Any other things I should look out for?
Thanx :lol:
