Possible experiments with HV Plasma

[Judges]

Ballast Ciol finisged today.
I will test it with a heating element and lightbulb,plugged directly into 120 mains,
The ballast should keep my 40 amp house breaker from tripping,,and I can measure the amps in the ballast.
This is air coil,,,I will test it again with the laminate steel core,,4 inch by 3 inch ,12 inches long.

    I produced a nice plasma in a microwave oven.  A drop of water a piece of rusty iron wire in a loop and you can ionize watervapor into a very weird lamp.  Blue white violet no red .  Just the whole oven turns into a 1100watt light bulb.  Very little heat.  Just light.  Only heat was from the ceramic plate used to protect the oven coating.  It cracked upon cooling.

put a matchstick in the microwave, lit

thatl make plasma


ruins ur microwave tho

  and you produce nitric oxide.  I suppose we could burn the entire atmosphere changing nitrogen and oxygen to its acidic form.  I think it would be better to stick with the water vapor.

Sparks,you and mr_bojanges are so much smarter than me that it aint even funny.

The danger involved with what I am doing is one mistake,death.
Thereby  having to wind a (hopefully) ballast coil,
for a pole transformer running backwards-ie:the 2 ears on top become the secondary.

Thing is boys (I am 64),,,Ihave this garage full of HV stuff,,and when you are retired,you need new interestest,,ideas,,,excitements,,,Capich???
(Mehican for ,,,understand??)

Later on down the river
