Germany decided to ban sale of fireworks this time, so I put my 2m tall DRSSTC out on the lawn. I filmed it with a GoPro on top of it, but didn't want to risk damaging my new one so I took my 8 year old Hero 3 and used it instead, which is why the quality is so low. The interrupter was the one inside the UD3 this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/projects Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/

I killed my UD3's PSoc and decided to try taking it apart... and failed miserably. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/projects Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/

First test of the Versatile Modulation System I made for the MidiStick. The different channels here have different settings: 1: Portamento, FM with a sine wave, adsr 2: only adsr 3: inverse exponential adsr I hope to test it out on my coil in the coming week 😀 For more info: https://highvoltageforum.net/index.php?topic=1117.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/ Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/

Testing the external interrupter input on the UD3 with one of my MidiSticks. Oh and the youtube compression really didn't like the darkness of the video and decided to make it a light purple... Guess I really do need a brighter vide next time 😀 Song: Wolfenstein 3D - get them ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/ Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/

I just figured out a better way of measuring this: instead of using the calorimeter optically, I should've just screwed the LED onto it and measured the thermal loss... live and learn I guess 😛 In this vid I use an optical calorimeter to measure the power that an led puts out, just with light. Is this significant enough to reduce the required heat sink size? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/ Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/
How big does an LED heatsink really need to be?

So for once I am not playing any music on my tesla coil. But it is still in this video 😉 I decided to try making some gas discharge lamps, but I don't have access to any fancy equipment or pure gas samples. The solution? Make the gases yourself 😀 The easiest ones to make (for me) are CO2, H2 and O2. CO2 i didn't yet try. Just electrolyse some water and your done. But that didn't work out as planned... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Website: https://tmax-electronics.de/ Also Visit the HV Forums: https://highvoltageforum.net/

Some test footage of my Tesla coil with a much better camera. I did underexpose it a little though. I'll know that for next time;) The backing music comes direct from the synth this time. I've kept it a little more silent than usual though.

Playing some more Music on my Tesla Coil I think I have the settings dialed in a lot better now: overall darker, with the phone a lot closer to the coil. The backing music is a little louder this time too (still a little too quiet though).
