Beautiful presentation EE Robert33. I wonder, can a larger number of transformers in connected in parallel produce greater and sustainable voltage, or is there a limit? Thank you!
The voltage is added by putting the transformers in series, but the current (power) decreases. On the contrary, by putting the transformers in parallel you gain current (power). But in all this it depends on the mains voltage at the input.
@@ElectricExperimentsRobert33 If I add two such transformers in series, should I keep one end of the secondary connected with body, or detached from the body? I need to have 1 amp current and 4 KV voltage . Please suggest. Regards

If you wire two high voltage capacitors in parallel, then put the HV eire from the transformer on one side and then make your output the other capacitor on the opposite side, you'll get resonance. Doing that gives you bigger arcs. If I explained anything poorly I apologise

Nice Video! Is oil cooling relly that effective ? How hot do your MOTs get when arcing that long ?
Oil is essential for cooling, MOTs become hot after about 4 minutes of continuous work.
Can Do it in illimited Time ?
Not with those type of transformers they are not designed for continous use at maximum load

arcing to the transformer core in the oil, that really is bad for the oil insulating property. i would filter out that oil before using it again

Good way to get a Darwin Award.
You know, you could be sending threat radio signals to aliens accidentally.
With one transformer I was able to achieve double that arc length many years ago, something is wrong.
Aren't those uwave caps underated? MOT in series is >4kv.; caps 2.1kv :/
This looks so cool but what purpose does it serve?
Is it possible to make this in DC current?
How are the primary coil inputs wired? In parallel? There's never a good view of the back.
Yes, the capacitors are connected in parallel to the coil primary.
You are Great Highvoltager. It was very dangerous experiment.
My homemade welder would probably make those sounds.
Howcome the arcs move up the two prong setup you brought out midway
Ive always wondered that? Dosent current seek ground?
Yes, the current seeks ground, but the poles are too close and therefore this does not happen.
The balls on this guy!
What are the 400V~ Caps for ?I know the input current increases when the output caps have more capacity, but the input caps are new to me. :-)
Yes, that's for power factor correction, you don't want your breaker popping before it starts arcing

livellata.
can you please do a talk over and explain what is happening
The video shows how a voltaic arc is generated. For the details read the description of the video.
Is oil sufficient to cool down your transformer ? You could use the fans from microwave instead. What do you think about ?
In this case the oil is definitely better.
@@ElectricExperimentsRobert33 thank you for your answer 🙂
Just fans don't help cooling the thing.
If you wanna use fans, just use a pump to circulate the oil through a radiator.

No resistor needed just short the terminals with wires there is also a builtin resistor inside the capacitor

Great arc time without a failure
Wow keren bos.
my capacitors behave like a resistor. my output voltage is way less. how did u solved this proglem?
The capacitors are connected in parallel to each other and in series in the transformers.
Woow excellent

There is neither negative nor positive, it is alternating current.
