i had a 650 farad bolw on me once.. i didn't get to see the volt it took.. it also took out my ipod and a radio in the same room..
but i bought a box o junk off craiglist last year .. 200 pounds of electronics.. good find..
it had a 1500 farad cap in it.. so i thought it was testing time again..
it took 50 volts to blow the cap.. it heated up for 2 mins before it went..
if i knew it would not took out my camera it would be on utube..
they have very large magnetic fields while they blow.. very large..!!
and the plug on the side didn't give either.. it just blew..
so if it gets warm to touch just kill the power.. lol
so be carefull..

Try running the EB through a mini Cockcroftâ€"Walton generator. Disconnect it when there is a threat of lightning storms.
If you look at the design of one long enough it might begin to look like a unfolded TPU. Or at least what I think a TPU is. You could even incorperate some of the design princeables into a EB and nobody would be the wiser.

Hello All,

Looks like everyone is busy working on things I have made a new Jule thief that seems to amplify current more then voltage. I get around 10 volts but shorted its about 60 mA I am only putting 92 mA into the JT with no fine tuning as of yet. I have lots of different designs but this one is the first one I used to test the theory.

I am sure someone else has already tried this but I wanted to post my independent results. The key is you need a weaker toroid that will allow the magnetized field to pass into the stronger one. Seems to work?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Altrez . Long Time no see .

If anyone is intrested in Ultracaps you need to see this . they are 34 dollars a pair from goldmine (black ones) and 2600 farads each 2.5 volts 20 you get a 5 volt pack. Compare to a small 650 farads and the larger 1500 farads these are monsters!

Hello gadget,

How are you doing? I hope you are your Daughter are doing well. That is a great deal for the caps I am going to grab some. Do they sell the smaller ones as well?
