Ed Gray's Magic Tube

[Turbo]

Good luck with that 

If you go above 25kV make sure to monitor X-Ray generation.

Great job guys! Does anyone know what is the role of this carbon resistor on the discharge path? Is it the same like the ones that we use in electrical machinery like drills?

The return resistor is to limit the current. I think that's what the patent says.

The patent doesn't describe the tube in much detail at all...

I just bought a 'Soeks Defender' - geiger counter. I'm quite concerned about the Fukushima situation. Not to mention all the other reactors around the world that are made from cardboard & sticky tape... It'd be ironic if i fried myself...

I've also been thinking about ionisation in the tube - in general...
- I've just bought some UV LEDs to try in the tube - see if it helps...
- I've made sure the ionised air from the spark can get to the collectors
- I've ordered a uranium pottery sample - to test the Soeks. I might stick that in the tube too. lol.
